Book Description
In 1819 English artist John Constable (1776-1837) produced The White Horse, the first in a series of six large-scale canvases featuring the River Stour. His decision to create works that by their very size attracted attention when exhibited, but also reflected a more classical style, marked a turning point in Constable's career. This book concentrates on these remarkable works.
This beautifully illustrated book, featuring newly-commissioned essays by leading experts, accompanies a major touring exhibition that brings these masterpieces together for the first time. By showing each work beside its fullscale compositional sketch, it allows a new understanding and appreciation of Constable's artistic process. These time-consuming sketches were an innovative tool used by Constable primarily to aid his move from working outdoors to the studio, and became his practice until the end of his career.

Constable: The Great Landscapes.......2007-01-29
Having studied Constable in art history classes during art school, I came to know and appreciate his obvious honesty, competence, and dedication in interpreting the landscape of his native Suffolk. However, his skill and candor in painting techniques and interpretation were not always appreciated in his own time, in his own country, or by many of his artistic contemporaries.
Sarah Cove's Constable: The Great Landscapes does much to redress those imbalances and adds substantially to Constable scholarship, thus encouraging much delayed and renewed gallery viewer interest in this artist's work. The juxtaposition of working sketches, studies, and drawings against the finished paintings in the book [and in the exhibit] also elaborates on the artist's methods, providing useful technical insights for aspiring artists and gallery viewers alike. While nothing quite suffices for seeing actual paintings in situ in a gallery setting, Sarah Cove's book comes as near as is possible to duplicating the "live" viewing experience, with the added benefit that the text is readily able to be re-visited, again and again, something not possible during a one-time gallery visitation.
The obvious quality of the color reproduction in this work is commendable.

Book Description
This collection of 42 drawings, never previously published together, gives new insight into Constable's technical and emotional approach into his work.
With the help of copious comparative illustrations and exhaustively detailed research drawn from numerous contemporary sources, the author builds up a portrait of the artist, his background and family life.
The luscious quality of Constable's painting typifies an idealized image of the English countryside in the 18th centruy. Such familiar paintings as Greenham Lock and Flatford Mill were not captured in spontaneous bursts, but were committed to canvas only after numerous working-drawings and oil sketches had been completed.
This is the first full-length study of the subject, presenting much hitherto unpublished material and offering a balanced and pertinent assessment of Constable and his work.

Memories of Anne Frank.......2006-02-17
From reading memories of Anne Frank Reflections of a Childhood Friend i would say it is wonderful! I mean the rough times and the scary times Anne never went down she never made a doubt that she might get hurt or get found in the "Secret Annex". This is where Anne stayed most of the time during the war so no one could find her. The war was a very tough time for Anne and her family. The Annex was a place where Anne could hide and also keep her thoughts. Her diary was the important thing about her. She kept everything in it. When it was near the end of the war one day people in business came to her house and took her diary and she had to make a quick escape. The conflict of this story is that Anne was afraid that she would get caught and get killed at the concentration camp. One day when the people in business came to her house they took her to the concentration camp. While at this dark and dreary place, she was starved, got very sickly and eventually was killed. She was only 15 years old when she died. That is what I thought about the book Memories of Anne Frank.

Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend.......2005-09-07
Even though Memories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend was written in the 1990s, it portrays the horrors of the Holocaust as vividly as if Hannah Goslar, Anne's childhood best friend, had been describing her whole story just when she was liberated of Bergen-Belsen almost half a century before, in 1945.
This book is basically a journey through Hannah's life during, before, and even a bit after World War II, taking us to the various concentration camps she was sent to. Probably the most touching scene is when Hannah miraculously finds Anne, a few months before she died, at Bergen-Belsen. Anne had believed Hannah to be long dead, as she once wrote an entry in her diary stating that she felt tremendously guilty for Hannah's suffering. Ironically, it turned out to be the other way around, and Anne was the one to die instead.
I found it incredibly hard not to let go off a few tears when I read about the deaths of Hannah's loved ones, one by one. Each was as sad as the previous one, and I cannot immagine how Hannah found the strength to survive and ultimately to go on with her life in those harsh circumstances. Undoubtedly, that took real courage.
I believe Alison Gold did a pretty good job in telling the world Hannah's story, even though at times, I did not quite like her writing style because I found it too simple, which is just misleading, because this book is not a light read at all. Other than that, I found her descriptions to be good but thankfully not too graphic.
I really enjoyed Hannah's personal photographs at the middle of the book. I felt like each and every single one of them was telling me a whole new story, and it was disturbing to know how many people pictured did not manage to survive this whole atrocity.
If you're interested in learning more about Anne Frank, beyond her diary and what happened after that, this book is a wonderful addition to Anne Frank fans, but it also introduces us to a new person not many people are familiar with: Hannah. I truly believe that she was no less than a hero herself. She suffered as much as any other Holocaust victim did and lost as much as any other Holocaust victim did. For some unknown reason to us, she survived to tell her story, and, for that, we should be thankful.
An Unbearable story you just cant resist reading! .......2005-03-11
: The book The Memories of Anne Frank, was a devastating story greatly told. The true terror of Jews just being alive really came out and touched my heart. As little girls, Hannah and Anne were best friends, until one day without warning Anne was gone! Then Hannah has to fight her terrors alone without a best friend to comfort her, or help her in her time of need. Things just became worse and worse as time pass. First, Hannah's mom dies during childbirth along with her soon to be born sibling, then being a Jew started to truly become an issue where she was currently living, then people become sicker and sicker while World War 2 is in progress and Germans are taking over. Hannah's life is going from one disaster to another, when, or will it stop?
Memories of Anne Frank a review by Trevor.......2004-01-01
Memories Of Anne Frank
Will Hannah be able to survive during the Holocaust? This book has many mixed emotions during the story. "Dad are we going to die in this dreadful camp." Alison Leslie the author of Memories of Anne Frank taught many people, throughout this book, that life really isn't that bad. Hannah, the protagonist, of the story tells her life as it really was.
As Hannah lived in these camps, she never knew where her next meal would come from. She thought of it as dark as the midnight night but knew she had to be as positive as the light of day. As long as she lived she never would give up hope for that one special day.
Then, that one special day finally came. Her best friend, Anne, who also is the protagonist, meets her. Anne is across the fence in another camp. Even though Anne had a high spirit, she died sometime before liberation day. Finally, that day came where Hannah got to leave the prison camp with the rest of the full spirited prisoners. Hannah went to Berlin with her little sister to try to find someone they knew.
Would Hannah ever be able to move to America where her family first wanted to live? Would she and her little sister, Gabi, even find some good food to eat and a nice home with foster parents? I insist that you come join the adventures in Memories Of Anne Frank.
Awesome!.......2003-08-07
Wow! this book was so GREAT! I couldn't put it down. I read it after I read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, which I absolutely loved, too. I enjoyed learning more about Anne Frank and her life. I also liked the pictures. This is one of my favorite books. You have to read it!
