| Traces of Jewish life in Lithuania |
|
A memorial album dedicated to the annihilated Jewish communities of Lithuania. Photographs that capture the images of cemeteries, prayer houses, and other buildings and sites connected to Jewish life, or more precisely –
images of what remains many years after the golden age of Jewish Lithuania. Alongside them are the Yiddish and Lithuanian names of towns and villages whose Jewish inhabitants made up a large proportion, perhaps even the majority of the overall population from the 19th and the first half of the 20th century – accompanied by a number of telling figures from their history. This book not only evokes the sadness and pain of loss, it reminds us of the people who drew their sap of life from Lithuania, who created and fostered their unique culture, who simply lived, in this land. We hear the din of the eternal silence that shrouds Jewish Lithuania.

An album-monograph dedicated to Kazimieras Žoromskis (1913-2004), an artist who created unique paintings in an Op impressionistic style. His works appeared alongside paintings by Marc Chagall, Karl Appel, Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Willem de Kooning and other famous 20th century artists in exhibitions in Madrid, Washington, New York and Paris. Žoromskis' paintings can be found in museums in Europe and America, his biography and works appear in international art reference books, and his achievements have merited distinguished Lithuanian and USA awards.
This book, the first detailed presentation of this original artist to the public, includes a list of reproductions, index of titles, and bibliography.

The critics were especially impressed with the characteristically artistic taste, and comprehensiveness of this book. "[The album] encompasses all of Lithuania and its natural diversity, including Aukštaitija, Dzūkija, Sūduva, Žemaitija, the seaside. The album can be considered an integral epic work polyphonically connecting images into an artistic totality... Which we too experience when we travel across Lithuania in the wake of the sun, and back again; when, during different times of the year, we reach the sea, and the dunes on the Curonian Spit, with its manifestations of ingenious creativity in sky, sand, sea and wind."

A new guide designed for those travellers interested in discovering the history, culture and nature of the country they are visiting. This book differs from other introductions to Lithuania in its broad historical and cultural context and careful selection of important sites and objects. A diverse and copious amount of information is presented in an easily readable style. Not surprisingly, it is written by an art historian, a broad-minded academic and author of many publications in her field, who also happens to be a passionate and observant traveller. The text is well illustrated with numerous beautiful images of buildings, monuments, and landscapes. The guide can even be utilised as a valuable correspondence introduction to the interesting sights of Lithuania.
The book's 11 chapters encompass Lithuania's 10 regions, and the city of Vilnius. A concise history of Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, and important facts from the past of other cities and villages provides historical depth to their present-day form. Sections on the national parks of Aukštaitija, Dzūkija, Žemaitija, the Curonian Spit, and the Trakai historical park reveal the diversity of their nature, history, and ethnography. Here you will find descriptions of the most interesting architectural monuments (religious sanctuaries, public buildings, estates, mills and bridges), works of art (sacral paintings, memorials, crosses and chapels), the wonders of nature (parks, lakes, rivers, rocks, hills and trees), museums, historical sites, etc.
The guide contains over 1,000 colour illustrations, maps of each region and of the three major cities (Vilnius, Kaunas, KlaipÄ—da), and indexes of described places and personalities.
