Book Description
Since 1961 James Reeve has been exhibiting and selling his paintings, first in Florence, then in Madrid. From 1974 onwards he has traveled widely, often with subsequent London gallery exhibitions. Here he vividly describes and illustrates the characters he meets, and the adventures unfold along the way--in Haiti, Madagascar, India, Australia, Jordan, the Republic of Yemen, and Mexico. His cousin, the historian Antonia Fraser, once remarked in a letter to him: "Dearest James, When God gave you your great artistic talent She made a big mistake, contrary to what is generally thought. This is because you are really meant to be a brilliant writer." And so now, badgered by Fraser and other writer friends, Reeve has at last put his talents together in a series of self-contained short stories recalling travels, anecdotes, and encounters, vividly illustrated through his colorful vignettes. Always travelling with the purpose of work, in Italy James meets Mrs. Acton, the mother of Harold Acton. He meets Princess Elizabeth of Toro in Uganda and is captured by pygmies in the Congo forest. He paints the fearsome Mrs. Gilbert Miller's portrait in Palm Beach and travels in Rajasthan with Diana Wordsworth, a last relic of the Raj. At last, weary of wandering, he discovers a distant cloud-forest village in Mexico. There he built a house and stayed for the next thirty-five years. Accompanied by beautiful original illustrations, Travels of a Painter is a colorful collection of short travel stories by a master of description.

Lu Xun and Evolution
Author: James Reeve PuseyPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438416601
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book studies one of the most important figures in modern Chinese intellectual history, China's greatest modern writer, Lu Xun (1881-1936). His trenchant criticisms of the China of his day still speak directly to what can be called, without hyperbole, the current crisis in philosophical and political thought in the People's Republic. It is also a study of a non-Western intellectual's struggle--in a time of crisis--to make practical sense of the "Darwinian Revolution," a revolution not limited to the West. Although Lu Xun died more than sixty years ago, his work is still alive in China (more so than any American writer of the 1920s and 1930s is in the United States). He is viewed paradoxically as both an official icon and as a patron saint of dissent. This book is, therefore, about Lu Xun both in his lifetime and in his second lifetime--and it looks to his third. But it is not just about Lu Xun. It is about Lu Xun and evolution. As a philosophical critique of Lu Xun's thought, it looks to Lu Xun's struggle to make practical sense of evolution, a contradiction that forces "either/or" questions on the Chinese, and on us all.
