Description:

With the advent of print in the fifteenth century, Europe's cultural elite assembled personal libraries as refuges from persecutions and pandemics. Andrew Hui tells the remarkable story of the Renaissance studiolo a 'little studio' and reveals how these spaces dedicated to self-cultivation became both a remedy and a poison for the soul.

Blending fresh, insightful readings of literary and visual works with engaging accounts of his life as an insatiable bookworm, Hui traces how humanists from Petrarch to Machiavelli to Montaigne created their own intimate studies. He looks at imaginary libraries in Rabelais, Cervantes, Shakespeare, and Marlowe, and discusses how Renaissance painters depicted the Virgin Mary and St. Jerome as saintly bibliophiles. Yet writers of the period also saw a dark side to solitary reading. It drove Don Quixote to madness, Prospero to exile, and Faustus to perdition. Hui draws parallels with our own age of information surplus and charts the studiolo's influence on bibliographic fabulists like Jorge Luis Borges and Umberto Eco.

Beautifully illustrated, The Study is at once a celebration of bibliophilia and a critique of bibliomania. Incorporating perspectives on Islamic, Mughal, and Chinese book cultures, it offers a timely and eloquent meditation on the ways we read and misread today.

Good entry level or decorative pillow
Color: White-velvet, Size: With Cover
Perfect entry level body pillow, or for a guest bed that isn't frequently used. The body pillow needs refluffed every day when used as intended. Long enough to also fill a gap between headboard and mattress on a full sized bed. The cover is soft,has a zipper and washed well. I was able to easily find other low cost pillow case options for it here on Amazon.

Comfortable
Color: Green-cooling, Size: With Cover
This is probably one of the best pillows I have ever owned. I haven’t bought a new pillow in almost 10 years. I don’t get a good chance to actually look at pillows, let alone sleep, so this was a very good buy for me. It’s actually cold unlike other cooling pillows I’ve been given, it’s soft, large, and the support it gives for my neck is a lot better than my previous pillow. It’s also flat enough where I don’t have to constantly adjust it so I’m not waking up in the morning having to adjust it from breaking my neck.

Great pillow for side-sleepers, to keep things lined up.
Color: Black, Size: With Cover
I didn't actually expect this to be that useful, but it has improved my mornings a lot. Since I sleep on my side, often times I my knees would be uncomfortable when trying to go to sleep, or my neck would be sore getting up. This pillow gives me a bit of padding, and helps keep my hips and shoulders lined up. Simple solution, but works great.
