I had a problem with the first part of this book.In the first part of this book the author kept stressing just how prevalent snowmen are in our modern day culture and personally, I just didn't buy it. He made it seem as if the snowman icon is everywhere throughout the year and I just couldn't accept that. But as the book progressed he began to discuss the history of the snowman and I must say I really admired the amount of research he put into his project. I was fascinated by the accounts of how the people of the Middle Ages used snowmen to brighten up the cold bleak winters. And also absorbed by the descriptions of the little ice age,a time when we as a society now dealing with global warming, has often been overlooked. A short book and definitely worth a read. ( ) The History of the Snowman recounts Bob Eckstein's exhaustive faux-academic study of the snowman. The seriousness with which Eckstein defines various periods in snowman-human relations and the care with which he presents myriad examples from the art, advertising and pop culture worlds work together to create a wholly unique work. The result is more than I ever wanted to know about snowmen, but with enough creative asides into political theater, the modern liquor industry and horror movies to keep me interested and enjoying myself. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A historical and sociological evaluation of the snowman and snowman building travels backward through time from the modern world's regard of snowmen as a pop culture symbol to prehistoric early constructions. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
