Bravo, Penguin Classics! Munch, who is a contemporary of both Ibsen and Hamsun, captures the madness and uncertainty of both works with his 1894 painting <em>Anxiety</em> (which is incorrectly identified as <em>Agony</em> on the back cover of <em>A Doll’s House</em> – tsk tsk!).</p>http://theyellowbookstore.tumblr.com/post/23299765156http://theyellowbookstore.tumblr.com/post/23299765156Fri, 18 May 2012 12:27:00 -0600<a href="http://www.itsnicethat.com/categories/bookshelf">creative's bookshelves from 'itsnicethat'</a>http://theyellowbookstore.tumblr.com/post/23125848672http://theyellowbookstore.tumblr.com/post/23125848672Tue, 15 May 2012 16:13:32 -0600<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m40zzzMIOb1qfakrco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Book of the Day!!!</p> <p>TEA</p> <p>Blends-orgins-rituals</p> <p>by.
