IF YOU FIND ONE, HE’S ALREADY FOUND YOU... The heart-pounding debut from the creator of the hit Scandinavian television show The Killing.A psychopath is terrorizing Copenhagen. His calling card is a “chestnut man” - a handmade doll made of matchsticks and two chestnuts - which he leaves at each bloody crime scene. Examining the dolls, forensics makes a shocking discovery - a fingerprint belonging to a young girl, a government minister’s daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered a year ago. A tragic coincidence - or something more twisted? To save innocent lives, a pair of detectives must put aside their differences to piece together the Chestnut Man’s gruesome clues. Because it’s clear that the madman is on a mission that is far from over. And no one is safe.

Roger Steffens toured with Bob Marley for two weeks of his final tour of California in 1979 and the music icon was the first guest of Steffens' award-winning radio show. In So Much Things To Say, Steffens draws on a lifetime of scholarship to tell the story of Marley's childhood abandonment, his formative years in Trench Town, his seemingly meteoric rise to international fame and his tragic death at 36. Weaving together the voices of Rita Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer-as well as band members, family and friends-Steffens reveals extraordinary new details, dispels myths and highlights the most dramatic elements of Marley's life, his psychic abilities and his overriding commitment to the peace and love message of Rastafari. This landmark work will reshape our understanding of this legendary performer.

The Sunday Times number one bestseller The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves He ends with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.

Edición a cargo de David García Cueto, comisario de la exposición y conservador de Pintura Italiana y Francesa hasta 1800 del Museo del Prado. Inglés. Rústica. 24 x 30 cm. 448 páginas.Publicado con motivo de la exposición Guido Reni, celebrada en el Museo Nacional del Prado entre el 28 de marzo y el 9 de julio de 2023.Guido Reni (1575-1642) fue uno de los artistas más destacados en la Europa de su tiempo, llegando su fama al nivel de la que alcanzaron Rubens, Caravaggio o Bernini. Desde su Bolonia natal, su obra se difundió no solo por buena parte de Italia, sino que también alcanzó algunas de las principales capitales del continente, como París, Londres o Madrid. En efecto, España no permaneció ajena al interés por las creaciones del maestro boloñés, coleccionadas tanto por la corona como por algunos de los más destacados miembros de la aristocracia y que, en varios casos, acabaron en los fondos del Museo Nacional del Prado. Además, a la vista de sus obras, ciertos artistas hispanos decidieron enriquecer su propio lenguaje con la evocación de las propuestas de Reni, entre ellos varios pintores de especial relevancia, como Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.Este catálogo pone de manifiesto la actualidad del legado de Guido Reni. Cuenta con nueve ensayos, a cargo de otros tantos autores internacionales, y se centra en su obra y su técnica, así como en el contexto en el que destacó en la Bolonia y Roma de su época y en particular en su relación con España durante el siglo de Oro. Además, analiza y reproduce casi cien obras de Reni y otros artistas entre pinturas, dibujos y esculturas.

'Star'' is a book about art. A book about appropiation and public domain. About brand, identity and copyright. It is a book about money. Still and nevertheless —,nevertheless—, it is a book with a soul, where children play and run about in their sunday clothes. A book that raises to some cloudy sacred place where only the blessed dwell. In 2013 Nacho García broke the boundaries of his own domestic look into the world with Pulir, a hazardous tour de force against dull fixed parameters of art books and comics. Knowing —,maybe not knowing—, he had already walked the path from memes and bedroom epistemology by challenging the trivia stereotypes of the quirk and the mundane, his new book is a heartfelt statement about the politics of raw abstract truisms and platitudes of art. Everyday life, money, celebrities, internet are art forms here, just as hellfire and custom metal logos, becoming res nullius, res communes, res publicae and res universitatis while over two hundred ideas made in heaven find their way into corporeality, proving that if it can be written in Arial, then it's REAL.

La monografía definitiva sobre la obra del escultor, artista de instalaciones y pionero del Arte Povera Luciano FabroLuciano Fabro fue miembro fundador y luego crítico principal de Arte Povera, el movimiento artístico basado en materiales y experiencias que comenzó en Italia a fines de la década de 1960. Continuó siendo exhibido internacionalmente, convirtiéndose en el primer artista del grupo en recibir una importante retrospectiva en los EE. UU., en el Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco en 1992. Fabro fue un artista controvertido, pero aún así un favorito de la crítica: en 2018 el arte líder la publicación The Brooklyn Rail dedicó un número entero a Fabro, y la crítica del New York Times, Roberta Smith, escribió que Fabro trató ''la creación artística menos como una profesión y más como un experimento continuo destinado a mantenerse entretenido y al espectador un poco fuera de balance''. Esta monografía completa y muy ilustrada es la primera descripción completa de la vida y carrera de Fabro, escrita por la estimada crítica y curadora Margit Rowell, quien interactuó repetidamente con Fabro en sus últimos años, y se publica con el apoyo y la participación total del patrimonio del artista y galerías internacionales, Paula Cooper (Nueva York), Christian Stein (Milán) y Simon Lee (Londres y Hong Kong).

The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce’s incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer’s own wordsIn a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste.Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible.In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words.

Dentro de la prolífica obra del hispanista Ralph Hayward Keniston (1883-1970), perteneciente a la generación que en el siglo XX amplía el entendimiento de qué implica enseñar una lengua y abre la docencia del español a la cultura, destaca The Syntax of Castilian Prose (1937), obra originalísima, sin bibliografía, con un poderoso índice (quizá lo más consultado de ella) que alienta la caza de los tesoros lingüísticos del Quinientos, etapa favorita de nuestra cultura y lengua para el celebrado filólogo. Keniston, que principia escribiendo sobre literatura áurea, de Garcilaso a Cervantes, y se inserta después en los estudios de lingüística probabilística, representa la bisagra intelectual del hispanismo estadounidense que desde una concepción decimonónica romantizada de España y de su lengua se abría a una perspectiva más realista y pretendidamente científica, consolidada durante el XX. Asumida esta herencia y también la ruptura de la apuesta por una nueva didáctica, aquí despliega una taxonomía de posibilidades del español del XVI con indicación de su grado mayor o menor de probabilidad a partir de su frecuencia: así, se dan pistas para seguir trabajando en el estudio de estructuras posibles o se informa de datos que pueden ser suficientes para una rápida argumentación sobre cuestiones de español histórico. Inspirada por los trabajos sobre estadística de uso de palabras y listados bibliográficos de utilidad educativa, The Syntax of Castilian Prose significó, como señala Lola Pons en el brillante prólogo a esta edición, un nuevo modelo de libro, cartesiano, ordenado, con la lengua desmenuzada y despiezada taxonómicamente.

Milton Glaser's designs changed the way we see the world.' - Gloria Steinem.An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70sFrom 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late ’70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence, for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show’s final season.His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Creator of the iconic ‘I love NY’ logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word ‘love’) and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser’s Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.

Written by a well-known artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art, Beginning Drawing Atelier, with its unique workbook/sketchbook approach, and high-quality paper, offers a comprehensive and contemporary twist on traditional Atelier art instruction practices.Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn basic drawing skills.In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and best selling author Juliette Aristides breaks down the drawing process into small, manageable lessons, presents them progressively, introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible, and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings.What makes this approach unique is the fact that it includes blank pages for copying and practicing within each lesson, facilitating traditional Atelier methods. Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time--and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance.These studios, in a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop.Beginning Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book - and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, the approach in this new book offers serious art courses for serious art students.
