Bruegel

Серия: "Colour Library"

Pieter Bruegel was perhaps the greatest sixteenth-century Flemish painter and he is certainly the most popular today. Surprisingly, fewer than fifty of his works have survived, though his episodes from peasant life, landscapes and religious paintings are familiar to all. To each of these themes Bruegel brought remarkable gifts of observation, an unfailing sense of line and a dazzling use of colour. The gaiety and heartiness of his scenes of contemporary life are, however, tinged with a wry pessimism; he was a shrewd judge of human nature and his use of Flemish proverbs allowed him to instruct and entertain at the same time. His message is as fresh today as it was four hundred years ago; and his scenes of destruction and terror no less than his paintings of unbridled enjoyment will doubtless be relevant for many generations to come.

Keith Roberts

Keith Roberts (1935 - 2000), was a British science fiction author. He began publishing with two stories in the September 1964 issue of "Science Fantasy" magazine, "Anita" (the first of a series of stories featuring a teenage modern witch and her eccentric granny) and "Escapism."

Several of his early stories were written using the pseudonym Alistair Bevan. His second novel, "Pavane", which is really a collection of linked stories, may be his most famous work: an alternate history novel in which the Roman Catholic Church takes control of England following the assassination of Queen Elizabeth I.

Roberts wrote numerous novels and short stories, and also worked as an illustrator. His artistic contributions include covers and interior artwork for "New Worlds" and "Science Fantasy", later renamed "Impulse". He also edited the last few issues of "Impulse" although the nominal editor was Harry Harrison.

In later life, Roberts lived in Salisbury. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1990, and died of its complications in October 2000. Obituaries recalled him as a talented but personally 'difficult' author, with a history of disputes with publishers, editors and colleagues.
