When Abdul Rahman Munif embarked on the first extensive study in Arabic about Marwan Kassab Bachi, he mailed the artist asking about how his art emerged, its contextual influences, and timely interpretations. Marwan recorded his answers on seven audio tapes and sent them to Munif, but also started writing his memoirs in Arabic. This book is an anthology of the letters exchanged between two friends, Marwan in Berlin and Munif in Damascus, from 1990 to 2004.

Las descarnadas, inspiradoras y emocionantes memorias del icono y legendario ganador de varios premios Oscar, Sylvester Stallone, sobre su increíble camino al estrellato y la mejor historia jamás contada de un ganador contra todo pronostico.En los cincuenta años transcurridos desde que Sylvester Stallone subio corriendo los escalones del Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, el mismo y esos escalones se han convertido en simbolos de resiliencia y determinacion, y han inspirado a millones de personas de todo el mundo para perseguir sus sueños. En Los escalones, Stallone relata como persiguio sus propios sueños. Culminando un proceso de reflexion de decadas, Sly cuenta sus origenes -un nacimiento dificil, una infancia aun mas dificil, años de problemas en el colegio por no ser comprendido- y explica como la historia real de una vida exitosa se construye afrontando, asumiendo y, en ultimo termino, superando nuestras dificultades. La clave esta en la distancia que estamos dispuestos a recorrer y en los pasos que debemos dar para pasar de donde estamos a donde queremos llegar.En una narracion enmarcada entre su llegada a Nueva York en 1969 y el triunfo de Rocky en los Oscar de 1977, Sly teje un vivido y apasionante relato de lucha, subsistencia y, finalmente, exito. Escribe sobre sus inicios y tambien sobre los años posteriores, asi como sobre la persistencia, creatividad y resiliencia que lo llevaron no solamente a crear Rocky, sino a labrarse una carrera repleta de papeles iconicos. Los escalones constituye un testimonio de la extraordinaria vida de Stallone y una profunda meditacion sobre la importancia de la fuerza de voluntad, la vision y el trabajo duro.

Thanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maurs first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissas talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Holes prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all.That was only the beginning of Melissas journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

Its 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Erics club is home to the citys rebels, posers and misfits. Its a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Pennys relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you dont know youre autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.

CHOCANTE, HILÁRIO E BRUTALMENTE HONESTO. O ÚLTIMO LIVRO DE MEMÓRIAS DO ENCRENQUEIRO OZZY OSBOURNE"As pessoas me perguntam: se eu pudesse fazer tudo de novo, sabendo o que sabe agora, mudaria alguma coisa? Eu respondo: "No, porra".

Ela une o tradicional humor negro de Ozzy com uma emoço comovente nunca vista antes. Ozzy no e o cara com nove vidas; ele claramente tem 27! "

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

Por anos, eu me questionava por que algo que eu considerava extraordinário estava despercebido pelos outros. A resposta não estava no que eu fazia — mas em como eu me posicionava. Foi quando descobri

This book is the first major study of Edita Schuberts art published outside Croatia. Edita Schuberts body of work is strikingly diverse, spanning pioneering explorations of natural ecology in the 1970s to bold paintings in the spirit of the transavantgarde in the 1980s. She also created performance art on the streets of Dubrovnik and created installations that invited viewers into her world. Her later worksself-portraits of various kindsoffer profound meditations on memory, identity, and mortal- ity. Working in her studio in the Institute of Anatomy in Zagreb, she once compared her art with the practice of dissection, a precise and purposeful science which reveals the hidden territories of the human body. Often her subject was herself. The breadth of her artistic output seems to anticipate the "post-medium" condition of contemporary art. Yet when viewed together, strong lines of connection and continuity emerge, revealing a deeply intimate and single-minded vision of art.Edita Schubert (19472001) was an exceptionally prolific and inventive artist, active from the early 1970s until her untimely death at the age of 54 in 2001. A significant figure in Croatian and Yugoslav art, she exhibited at the Venice Biennale and the Biennale of Sydney and in galleries in Austria and the US, as well as frequently throughout Yugoslavia. Yet today, her art remains relatively little known.

Building on the premise that landscapes provide a common ground where different kinds of knowledge may come together, this edited volume draws on a wide range of disciplines, including geology and geography, cultural anthropology and philosophy, architecture and art history. It suggests that the complex social and environmental crises of the 21st century cannot be understood independently of a historically constituted aesthetic approach to landscapes.Boulouki is a collective that deals with the traditional knowledge of building. Under the Landscape (Santorini and Therasia, 2021 2022), one of the collectives most important projects, comprised a participatory restoration, research into local materials, an exhibition and a symposium, and is the basis and starting point of this publication.
