The immortal King Rao : a novel / by Vara, Vauhini,1982-author.;
"Will you, dear Shareholder, set Athena free? Athena Rao must reckon with the memory of her father, King Rao-literally. Through biotechnological innovation, he has given her his memories. His Dalit childhood on an Indian coconut plantation in the 1950s is as alive to her as her own existence in a prison cell, accused of her father's murder. Egocentric, brilliant, a little damaged, King Rao had a visionary idea: the personal computer known as the Coconut. His wife, Margie, was an artist with a marketing genius. Together they created a new world order, led by a corporate-run government. Athena's future is now in the hands of its Shareholders-unless she can rejoin the Exes, a resistance group sustaining tech-free lifestyles on low-lying islands. Lyrical, satirical, and profound, The Immortal King Rao obliterates genre to confront the digital age. This gripping, brilliant debut poses an urgent question: can anyone-peasant laborers, convention-destroying entrepreneurs, radical anarchists, social-media followers-ever get free?"--

Camille Pissarro : impressionism, landscape and rural labour / by Thomson, Richard,1953-(CARDINAL)166910; Pissarro, Camille,1830-1903.(CARDINAL)123344;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 119-120).Camille Pissarro : impressionism, landscape and rural labour -- Convention and change in the 1860s -- Representing the Parisian suburbs -- Pissarro at Pontoise : modernity and equivocation -- Montfoucault : fictions of the 'true countryside' -- Representing the peasant in the 1880s -- Composing an anarchist ideal : the gleaners, 1889 -- The image of the market : exchange between country and town -- The late rural idylls : constructing 'the true poem of the countryside' -- The meadows -- The bathers -- Work in the fields -- Representing the city : the Rouen campaigns.This book, based on a 1990 touring exhibition organized by the British South Bank Centre, surveys Pissarro's work in all the variety of media in which the artist worked - pastel, gouache, etching, even painting on ceramic tiles. Pissarro's own concept of his art interlocked with his anarchist ideology. In this volume Thomson has selected groups of Pissarro's works, some not seen together since they left the artist's studio, to show how complex were his attitudes to nature, landscape traditions and issues of politics and modernity.
