Description:

THE FORTY-FIFTH CENTURY!
Wyndham Smith suddenly finds himself transported from the world of today to the distant dystopia man has madę for himself some 2,500 years hence. The 5,000,000 remaining members of the human race have crafted for themselves a sterile womb in which machines tend to every possible need, and all pain and suffering have been abolished.

So devoid of feeling and curiosity are these "men" that they have decided, in their collective wisdom, to commit racial suicide. But first they want to question one example of their species from the past – Wyndham Smith – whose consciousness is therefore transferred into the brain of Colpeck 4XP,a member of the ruling Council.

Colpeck finds himself "awakened" by Smith’s mind, and decides that he doesn’t want to die. He convinces a female of the Council, Vinetta, to join his mini-rebellion, and they escape to Sicily when the last of their compatriots purge themselves in the flames. But the late Council Chairman has left one last nasty surprise: a Man Killer robot has been programmed to hunt down and kill Vinetta, wherever she may hide, thereby dooming the human race. Can Wyndham Smith defeat this implacable metal monster?

First published in 1938 by Herbert Jenkins as The Adventure of Wyndham Smith

Description:

Words can speak volumes, but, as every letter writer knows, there are times when they simply won’t do. And when the author happens to be a visual artist, the results can be both intimate and transcendent. This book is a testament to those occasions, a compilation of personal letters by some of America’s most revered artists, each one adorned with an illustration. Writing to wives, lovers, friends, patrons, clients, and confidants are such revered artists as Frederick Edwin Church, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Rockwell Kent, Lyonel Feininger, John Sloan, Alfred Frueh, Man Ray, Eero Saarinen, Alexander Calder, Gio Ponti, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein. Sometimes humorous, sometimes extravagant, but always revealing and intimate, they picture the world around them in charming vignettes, landscapes, portraits, and caricatures. Together with their words, these autobiographical works of art created for private consumption reveal the joys and successes, loves and longings, disappointments and frustrations of their authors’ lives. These riveting artifacts are drawn from the collection of the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, one of the largest repositories of artists’ papers in the nation, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2005.
