DOWNLOAD EBOOKA vibrant narrative history of three hallowed Manhattan blocks—the epicenter of American cool. St. Marks Place in New York City has spawned countless artistic and political movements. Here Frank O’Hara caroused, Emma Goldman plotted, and the Velvet Underground wailed. But every generation of miscreant denizens believes that their era, and no other, marked the street’s apex. This idiosyncratic work of reportage tells the many layered history of the street—from its beginnings as Colonial Dutch Director-General Peter Stuyvesant’s pear orchard to today’s hipster playground—organized around those pivotal moments when critics declared “St. Marks is dead.” In a narrative enriched by hundreds of interviews and dozens of rare images, St. Marks native Ada Calhoun profiles iconic characters from W. H. Auden to Abbie Hoffman, from Keith Haring to the Beastie Boys, among many others. She argues that St. Marks has variously been an elite address, an immigrants’ haven, a mafia warzone, a hippie paradise, and a backdrop to the film Kids—but it has always been a place that outsiders call home. This idiosyncratic work offers a bold new perspective on gentrification, urban nostalgia, and the evolution of a community.

Mosaics, marbles, pavements, sculptures, icons and decorations are unrivalled in their sumptuousness and as examples of Byzantine art at its apex. With 133 high-quality color photographs, including many details and many full-page illustrations, this book provides complete documentation of the history and decorative program of the Basilica. It will appeal to those who are interested in Venice, in Byzantine art, in mosaics, pavements, the decorative arts, and Church history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from St. Mark's Sixtieth Anniversary 1850-1910: A Discourse Delivered in St. Mark's Church, Brooklyn, Sunday, December 18, 1910 "I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, always in every supplication of mine in behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, for your fellowship in furtherance of the Gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ. - Philippians, 1:3-6. The Epistle to the Philippians is not doctrinal statement, but personal tenderness. It is an outburst of the heart, springing from the deepest inward need of loving fellowship. It unites exquisite sympathy with courageous faith. The words from a Roman dungeon, may instruct us in review and outlook after sixty years of our Brooklyn church's life. With reverent gratitude St. Paul cherishes devout and joyous reminiscence. Memory had a wide scope in these words, "from the first day until now." There are concrete facts, local references. Philippi was on the great Roman road from Europe to Asia Minor, about nine miles from the sea, and backed by a mountain range. Here St. Paul had preached Christ without encountering the usual opposition. There were cities larger and more renowned, where his discourses roused the most virulent abuse, and where the most tactful missionary efforts were baffled. But it was different in Philippi. There one did not find the philosophic scorn of Athens, nor the mob violence of Thessalonica. The Philippians were of the middle class, earning, in most cases honestly, their own living. Recall the peculiar circumstances of the first three converts. Lydia was by birth an Asiatic, engaged in a necessary and lucrative trade, a seller of purple, which may mean a dyer or a dressmaker.
