The batik designs of Java's North Coast are particularly varied in both design and colour. With their fanciful, highly imaginative motifs and luminous tints, they are more immediately appealing than the sombre blue and brown batik of Central Java. It was a chance encounter in a Hong Kong antique shop that inspired photojournalist Inger McCabe Elliot to devote over three decades to assembling one of the world's finest collections, which she presented to the Los Angeles Country Museum of Art in 1991. This volume, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Museum, celebrates Elliott's gift and presents her collection. Essays by authorities on the subject examine the 82 featured batik textiles from historical, cultural and aesthetic perspectives. The essays are followed by biographies of some of the most distinguished batik designers and entrepreneurs and a descriptive catalogue of the batiks. Appendices document design formats and motifs, as well as the complete production process of North Coast batiks.

In the realm of Eldoria, where magic and mystery dance upon the threads of destiny, a tale unfolds that weaves the very fabric of enchantment itself. The land, once basked in the eternal glow of enchantments and wonder, now stands at the brink of an ominous eclipse. For centuries, the moonlit groves whispered secrets to those who dared to listen, and the ancient amulets glowed with the pulse of forgotten spells. Eldoria was a realm where faeries danced beneath starlit skies, and the winds carried the laughter of mystical creatures. Yet, with the passage of time, a darkness has been creeping across the land, threatening to shroud its magic forever. At the heart of this burgeoning darkness lies a prophecy, a prophecy spoken by the Oracle of the Crescent Citadel. A prophecy that foretells the convergence of a mortal soul and the very essence of enchantment, a union that holds the key to either salvation or destruction. As the moon wanes and the stars dim, the once-vibrant tapestry of Eldoria frays at the edges, and the threads of fate begin to tangle. Amidst this backdrop, a young soul named Lyana, with a heart as curious as the mysteries she seeks, stumbles upon an ancient spellbook that holds the potential to shift the balance of power. Drawn into a world of magic she had only dreamed of, Lyana embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the fading enchantments and the eclipse that threatens to consume them all. But she is not alone on this journey. Alongside her walks Darian, a brooding guardian of the groves, burdened with his own secrets. Together, they must navigate the treacherous path laid out by the prophecy, facing riddles that defy logic, confronting shadows that hunger for their doubts, and forging alliances with both the seen and the unseen. As they traverse through moonlit glades and forsaken castles, their destinies intertwine with those of the mystical creatures of Eldoria, and the delicate balance between light and darkness hangs in the balance. Will Lyana and Darian unravel the threads of fate in time to save their realm from the encroaching eclipse, or will the enchantments that once defined Eldoria be lost forever? Join us as we journey into a world where enchantments eclipse, destinies entwine, and the very essence of magic is put to the ultimate test. Welcome to the "Eclipse of Enchantments." May your imagination be ignited and your spirit be enchanted as we step together into this realm of wonder and danger.

The Work of Enchantment suggests that it is a lack of "enchantment" in rich, developed countries that causes soul-starved Westerners to experience mental (and sometimes physical) illness. Del Nevo argues that this "enchantment" is most often experienced in childhood, but can also be found in adulthood, particularly through art. However, adults must cultivate within themselves the ability to appreciate art by reading, listening, and gazing-activities often misconceived in advanced industrial societies. Del Nevo describes the framework of enchantment and its philosophical and historical roots. He then concentrates on the work of enchantment within literature, considering what enchantment might entail taking the works of Proust, Rilke, and Goethe as examples. Del Nevo shows how a sense of enchantment forms within and between art works, using his literary examples, as well as between the work and the audience. The reader will learn along the way that enchantment may be found in the power of words, as an expression of the desire of the soul, a compliment of melancholy, and in art that points to something beyond itself. Enchantment may be found in many places, ranging from philosophy, religion, and psychology to sociology and culture, but here Del Nevo focuses on literature. His audience is people who are searching for something beyond money or glamour-perhaps the meaning of art and culture. His focus on literary masterpieces such as the Duino Elegies, Remembrance of Things Past, Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, and others will make it of interest to those in cultural studies. Well written and engaging, and accessible to non-specialist readers, this unusual work in philosophy and aesthetics is free of jargon and complicated verbiage. Inspiring and enlivening, it is, in the author's words, "a stirring call to idleness."

Dwellings of Enchantment: Writing and Reenchanting the Earth offers ecocritical and ecopoetic readings that focus on multispecies dwellings of enchantment and reenchant our rapport with the more-than-human world. It sheds light on the marvelous entanglements between humans and other life forms coexisting with us–entanglements that, when fully perceived, call onto humans to shift perspectives on both the causes and solutions to current ecological crises. Working against the disenchantment of humans’ relationships with and perceptions of the world entailed by a modern ontology, this book illustrates the power of ecopoetics to attune humans to the vibrant matter both within and outside of us. Braiding indigenous with non-indigenous worldviews, this book tackles ecopoetics emerging from varying locations in the world. It underscores the postmodernist, remythologizing processes going on in many ecopoetic texts, via magical realist modes and mythopoeia.

"Whispers of Enchantment" is a contemporary exploration of magic seamlessly interwoven into the fabric of everyday life. The novel introduces Everwood and its diverse cast of characters, each leading seemingly ordinary lives before the introduction of magical elements reshapes their destinies. As the story unfolds, the town becomes a canvas for magical occurrences, inviting readers to question the limits of what is possible. Characters, once bound by the mundane, grapple with surreal experiences that challenge their perceptions, emotions, and connections with one another. The ordinary becomes extraordinary, and Everwood emerges as a place where profound insights are gained through unexpected magical encounters. At the heart of the narrative is the mysterious Whisperer, a catalyst for change and self-discovery. The novel follows a group of characters on a quest to find the Whisperer, unraveling the central mystery while exploring the transformative power of magic on their lives. Along their journey, the characters form unexpected connections, and the novel delves into the profound insights gained through the interplay of the surreal and the mundane. As the story builds towards a climactic confrontation with the source of enchantment, characters evolve, and resolutions are found. The novel concludes with an epilogue that paints a picture of Everwood's new normal—an altered town where the infusion of magic has forever changed the landscape, relationships, and the understanding of what is possible. "Whispers of Enchantment" invites readers to embark on a journey where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the threads of magic intertwine with the everyday, leaving an indelible mark on the town of Everwood.
