A memoir created in pictures: over two hundred photos linked and underpinned not in chronological order but shown in a cinematographic sequence and rhythm. As well as the photos, the author includes his memories and the experiences he gained when he took them, without boasting or telling unlikely stories. A book open in all directions, unprejudiced and with no other aim than to capture life itself. Antoni Bernad began to work as a graphic artist when he was fifteen but he soon realised that his world was made of images and without knowing how to swim, he launched himself into the deep end hoping that his passion would serve as a lifebelt. This passion and a stubborn will have led him to be now recognised as one of the great photographers. People such as Dali, Paloma Picasso, Horst, David Hockney, Tapies, Catala Roca, Manolo Blahnik, Joan Miro, Merce Rodoreda or Ryszard Kapuscinski have posed in front of his camera. In his portraits he always strives to reach the persons soul and reflect their most intimate emotions.Now that the abuse of imagery has become a burden, this book allows us to judge Bernads work with perspective and to underline its worth: authenticity, without sliding into sensationalist artifice or fleeting fashions. It is the work, in short, of a contemporary classic.With texts by Antoni Llena and Josep Casamartina i Parassols

O encontro com o amor mágico da alma... ou... o caminho até mim.Depois de mais de 50 anos, a vida virou completamente de cabeça para baixo...................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Master storyteller Viktor Wynd is back with a gloriously grim collection of wickedly entertaining tales from around the world, guaranteed to tickle the darker side of the imagination. Viktor Wynd has always gravitated towards the weirder corners of folklore. On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice - filled with risque twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect. Having entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macarbre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo, and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy ODwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig. Each chapter begins with Wynds personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque. The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.

De Pedro, o Grande, a Putin: entenda a Rússia através de sua dinastia mais implacávelSimon Sebag Montefiore, autor best-seller, traz-nos a extraordinária história da dinastia mais bem-sucedida dos tempos modernos. A familia que criou o maior imperio do mundo e perdeu tudo: Os Romanov. Os Romanov governaram a Russia como czares e imperadores durante trezentos anos. Atraves da força implacavel das suas personalidades, esta familia de autocratas peculiares, mas brilhantes, transformou um reino fraco e arruinado pela guerra civil num imperio que dominou a Europa. Pedro, o Grande, tirano bebedo e assassino, e Catarina, a Grande, a apaixonada princesa alem que destronou o proprio marido para se tornar a estadista mais notavel de uma epoca de ouro, foram os dois maiores governantes da Russia. Isabel, que tinha tanto de promiscua como de glamorosa, continuou a ascenso da Russia como potencia europeia; mais tarde, Pedro III e Paulo I, impotentes e desequilibrados, foram assassinados. Nicolau I censurou Pushkin e travou a Guerra da Crimeia com a Gr-Bretanha. Finalmente, Nicolau II e Alexandra, apesar do seu casamento feliz e da tragedia do seu filho hemofilico, revelaram-se demasiado ineptos para salvar a Russia da Grande Guerra e da Revoluço.Esta e a historia de como a Russia se tornou o pais que conhecemos atualmente.Simon Sebag Montefiore, autor bestseller de Jerusalem e O Mundo, mostra que o imperio dos autocratas e os seus pequenos grupos sempre dominaram a historia da Russia, desde o primeiro czar Romanov em 1613, passando pela magnificencia de Pedro e Catarina e o declinio de Nicolau II, ate aos czares vermelhos Lenine e Estaline no seculo XX e a presidencia autoritaria de Putin no seculo XXI. Uma aquisiço essencial para a biblioteca de qualquer pessoa interessada em historia da RussiaThe New York Times Book Review

Drawing on profound insights into the transformational journey of socio-cultural change in East Germany after unification, Tobias Lehmann presents inspiring and thought-provoking interpretations of two novels by Ingo Schulze, a work by Thomas Brussig, and the memoirs of Jana Hensel and Sabine Rennefanz. He skillfully weaves the immediate historical context into the fabric of these fictional narratives, revealing the profound connections between literature and the social landscape. Lehmanns interpretations emanate from his belief that literary analysis can illuminate the intricate ties between literary works and the realities of human experience, making this subject all the more significant in light of the persistent tendencies toward rightwing politics characterized by bitterness and blame in East Germany.Throughout the book, particularly in the epilogue, the author emphasizes that grasping the deep-seated resentment driving these developments calls for an exploration of the collective feelings of uprooting and disorientation experienced by East Germans. One of the notable strengths of this work is its introduction of significant contemporary German novels to English-speaking audiences, many of which have remained untranslated for years, aside from Schulzes debut "Simple Storys".

A parliamentary by-election happens when a seat in the House of Commons becomes vacant between general elections, whether because the sitting MP dies, resigns, goes bankrupt, is convicted of a crime or is subject to a recall petition. By-elections can often appear to break the mould of British politics, signify the seemingly terminal decline of a particular political party or indicate the end of a premiership. Some take on iconic status or attract celebrity candidates and are remembered several decades after they take place. Others quickly disappear into the depths of our memories. As these pages will testify, however, theres rarely a dull contest.In this latest anthology, Iain Dale picks the most consequential by-elections of the modern era and presents a series of thoroughly researched and absorbing essays by some of our finest political writers, including Sir Vernon Bogdanor, Sir John Curtice, Simon Heffer, Julia Langdon, Lord Lexden, Andrew Marr, Tim Shipman and many others.This remarkable book uncovers unique stories of political tragedy, triumph, success and failure, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic moments in British parliamentary history.
