Summer Forums @ the Town Hall
|  The Library Summer Forum series for 2012 kicks off this Thursday night, July 5th at 6:45 PM. The evening begins with a piano duet by Linda Singer and Vladimir Odinokikh, playing Sonata in C by Mozart. The speaker will be our own long time town clerk and new author, Teri Upton. She will talk about the Pennsylvania Settlement, the art colony in Nelson that is the subject of her soon to be published book. Teri became interested in the Pennsylvania Settlement when she first heard about it shortly after she moved to Nelson in 1973. Last year she starting researching the Settlement and as her interest and knowledge grew, a book developed. The art colony in Nelson was at the turn of the 20th Century and included artists such as Margaret Redman and Marie Spaeth. Teri's program will included slides of their work. Following the program, there will be refreshments in the Library, where Teri will be available for questions. |

Book Discussion in Nelson
|  Olivia Rodham Memorial Library Book Monday July16th, 2012 at 10:30 am We will be discussing "The City of Falling Angels" byJohn Berendt Books may be borrowed from the library The author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil returns after more than a decade to give us an intimate look at the "magic, mystery, and decadence" of the city of Venice and its inhabitants. It was seven years ago that Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil achieved a record-breaking four-year run on the New York Times bestseller list. John Berendt's inimitable brand of nonfiction brought the dark mystique of Savannah so startlingly to life for millions of people that tourism to Savannah increased by 46 percent. It is Berendt and only Berendt who can capture Venice-a city of masks, a city of riddles, where the narrow, meandering passageways form a giant maze, confounding all who have not grown up wandering into its depths. Venice, a city steeped in a thousand years of history, art and architecture, teeters in precarious balance between endurance and decay. Its architectural treasures crumble-foundations shift, marble ornaments fall-even as efforts to preserve them are underway. The City of Falling Angels opens on the evening of January 29, 1996, when a dramatic fire destroys the historic Fenice opera house. The loss of the Fenice, where five of Verdi's operas premiered, is a catastrophe for Venetians. Arriving in Venice three days after the fire, Berendt becomes a kind of detective-inquiring into the nature of life in this remarkable museum-city-while gradually revealing the truth about the fire. |
