Both Arthur Conan Doyle and Gilbert Keith Chesterton are known as masters of the detective. But not everyone know the first one as the only breadwinner of a large family, a participant in a whale hunt, a physician, a participant in the Boer War and World War I, the author of a simple love story, and the second as a poet, artist, religious thinker, playwright, literary critic and even a lecturer on radio. Despite the interesting full life and many merits of both writers, they are especially appreciated by fans of detective. It is to them that modern writers are obliged to create a flexible plot, logically perfect reasoning, to bewitch and intrigue the reader. Doyle's detective is an intellectual, a logician. Chesterton's sleuth is an intuitive. Common to both detective stories is the realistic depiction of everyday life and psychology, social relations and conflicts, the romantic acuteness of events and characters, the fascination of intellectual games. Detectives are based on the belief in the power of reason and assert the triumph of law and order. Professional American actor Adam Muskin will accompany you in the labyrinths of the intellectual game. In the collectition: A.C. Doyle. The Red-headed League A.C. Doyle. The Boscombe Valley Mystery G.K. Chesterton. The queer feet G.K. Chesterton. The flying stars

'Brilliantly researched, lovingly written, a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at some of the magnificent, unsung queer artists who worked on the iconic franchise.' - Tom Rob SmithAn original, warm-witted and illuminating chronicle about the queer talents that have shaped the James Bond phenomenon in all its forms. Blending historical insight with new observations and interviews, Bond commentator and author Mark O'Connell presents a dynamic and entertaining James Bond compendium full of new perspectives and imagery, as well as an alternative timeline of 007 history few know exists. In Bond, Queer Bond, what might begin as a thoughtful dive into an adjacent world of 007 fast becomes a rich, colourful and compelling manifesto about the queer DNA of a cultural icon- with LGBTQ names and beats, such as Lionel Bart, Richard Chopping, Truman Capote, Peter Hunt, Tom Ford, Doris Fish, Harvey Milk, John Sex, the AIDS crisis, the ballroom scene, pop art icons, and many more, forming the rainbow crosshairs of this book. Joining O'Connell are guest contributions from the likes of Barbara Broccoli, David Arnold, Mark Gatiss, Putter Smith, Peaches Christ, John Glen, Ann Magnuson, Jon Lys Turner, Jany Temime, Maud Adams and more. The other history of a spy has never been so fabulous.

Deutscher Text weiter unten The ultimate showcase of photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn’s iconic work, spanning from the 1970s to today. Anton Corbijn (b. 1955) is one of the most important photographers and directors working today, renowned for his iconic portraits of musicians, actors, and artists, as well as his distinctive visual work in music videos and album covers. This gloriously illustrated, oversized book pays homage to Corbijn’s love for rock and roll – an interest that has led to lifelong friendships with Bono, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Michael Stipe, Dave Gahan, and other iconic musicians. Looking back over three decades, it features hundreds of creative, offbeat images that Corbijn was able to capture largely as a result of his close relationships with his subjects. Corbijn, Anton highlights and rediscovers iconic images, celebrating his legacy and lasting influence on visual art and pop culture to this day. This publication accompanies a grand retrospective exhibition at Fotografiska Stockholm, from 13 June until 12 October 2025. The exhibition will be traveling to Fotografiska Berlin, Tallinn and Shanghai. With text contributions by Tom Waits, Marlene Dumas, Samantha Morton, Adam Clayton (U2), Mattie Boom (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam), and an interview with the photographer. Designed by Anton Corbijn and M/M (Paris). Die ultimative Retrospektive des ikonischen Werks des Fotografen und Filmemachers Anton Corbijn von den 1970er Jahren bis heute. Anton Corbijn (geb. 1955) ist einer der wichtigsten Fotografen und Regisseure der Gegenwart. Er ist bekannt für seine ikonischen Porträts von Musikern, Schauspielern und Künstlern sowie für seine unverwechselbaren visuellen Arbeiten in Musikvideos und auf Plattencovern. Dieses prächtig illustrierte, monumentale Buch ist eine Hommage an Corbijns Liebe zum Rock'n'Roll - ein Interesse, das zu lebenslangen Freundschaften mit Bono, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Michael Stipe, Dave Gahan und anderen legendären Musikern geführt hat. In einem Rückblick auf drei Jahrzehnte werden Hunderte von kreativen, ausgefallenen Bildern gezeigt, die Corbijn vor allem dank seiner engen Beziehungen zu den Porträtierten einfangen konnte. Corbijn, Anton hebt ikonische Bilder hervor und entdeckt sie neu, um sein Vermächtnis und seinen nachhaltigen Einfluss auf die visuelle Kunst und die Popkultur bis heute zu feiern. Diese Publikation begleitet eine große retrospektive Ausstellung in der Fotografiska Stockholm, die vom 13. Juni bis zum 12. Oktober 2025 zu sehen ist. Die Ausstellung wird auch in der Fotografiska Berlin, Tallinn und Shanghai gezeigt. Mit Textbeiträgen von Tom Waits, Marlene Dumas, Samantha Morton, Adam Clayton (U2), Mattie Boom (Rijksmuseum Amsterdam) und einem Interview mit dem Fotografen.

A massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of radio rock, when Journey, Boston, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees’ Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of AOR (“Album-Oriented Rock”); critically derided at the time but massively popular during its 1976-1986 heyday when artists such as Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, REO Speedwagon, Heart, Pat Benatar, Bryan Adams, and Styx sold many millions of albums and toured stadiums. Today, those very same songs are streaming in record numbers and many of the artists continue to play to sell-out audiences around the world. They may have been dismissed at the time as terminally uncool by elitist rock critics in thrall to punk and new wave, but their music was, and is still, the soundtrack to so many people’s lives. Who hasn’t pumped their fist to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” (even before The Sopranos made it cool), played air guitar to Boston’s “More Than a Feeling”; had their heart broken to the strains of REO’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling”; or bellowed along to Toto’s “Africa” at one time or another? Truly, these songs are national–and international–anthems. The stories behind their making, and of the AOR era in general, are as eye-opening as any from the annals of rock ‘n’ roll history. For better or worse, AOR’s prime movers lived life to excess and in the fast lane. Cocaine use was rampant, egos were unchecked, and intra-band fighting became par for the course. What’s more, their influence stretches across generations and through the fabric of popular American music. AOR invented the power ballad, and the sound of it has travelled on through hair metal, pop-rock, and right up to Taylor Swift. Fittingly, Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral and pop-cultural history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin’ But a Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and place that was as big, booming, and unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

Elegant, charming, and stunningly beautiful, Rodney Smith's fashion photography is a delightful revelation. "I would hope that I am one of a kind." --Rodney Smith Mystery and manners, romance and fun--the sophisticated compositions and stylish characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer Rodney Smith (1947-2016) exist in a timeless world of his imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W. Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical mastery and pure beauty. This lavish volume features nearly two hundred reproductions of Smith's images--many that have never before been published--and weaves together a biocritical essay by Getty Museum curator Paul Martineau and a technical assessment of Smith's production by the Center for Creative Photography's chief curator, Rebecca A. Senf. It maps Smith's creative trajectory--including his introduction to photography, early personal projects, teaching, commissioned pieces, and career in fashion--and provides insight into his personal life and character, contextualizing his work and creative tendencies within his privileged but lonely upbringing and complex emotional and psychological makeup. Rodney Smith is the definitive record of the life's work and worldview of a truly original artist.

Die Leinwand als Zeugin von An- und Abwesenheit In seiner Malerei beschäftigt sich Paul Czerlitzki (geb. 1986 in Gda¬sk, Polen; lebt und arbeitet in Düsseldorf) mit der Überlagerung von Zeitschichten, die in Form von Strukturen, Staubpartikeln oder Abdrücken auf monochromen Farbflächen auftauchen. Czerlitzki malt durch die Leinwand hindurch und lässt Strukturen entstehen, die einen Negativabdruck des Materials ergeben. Die Leinwand ist für den Künstler dabei nicht Träger- sondern Transfermaterial: Auf eine grundierte Leinwand wird eine zweite unbehandelte gespannt, diese dann mit Acrylfarbe durchmalt, sodass sich auf der unteren Leinwand ein nicht vollständig kontrollierbarer Farbschleier unterschiedlicher Intensität zeigt. In diesem Sinne versteht Czerlitzki die Malerei als ein Laboratorium, in dem er die Präsenz unterschiedlicher Zeit- und Räumlichkeiten innerhalb der Bildentstehung sichtbar macht. Czerlitzki war Teilnehmer der gefeierten Ausstellung Jetzt! Junge Malerei in Deutschland, die nach drei Ausgaben in Bonn, Chemnitz und Wiesbaden in einer großen Überblicksschau in den Deichtorhallen in Hamburg mündete. Arbeiten des Künstlers wurden zuletzt in der Kunsthalle Bern gezeigt und befinden sich u. a. in der Sammlung zeitgenössischer Kunst der Bundesrepunlik Deutschland, im Kunstmuseum Bonn, in der Collection Ricard und der Collection Billarant in Paris, der Fondation CAB in Brüssel;der Sammlung Philara in Düsseldorf; und der Sammlung der G2 Kunsthalle in Leipzig. DELAY ist Czerlitzkis erste Monografie und zeigt Arbeiten der letzten zehn Jahre. Die Texte schrieben Adam Budak und Michal Budny. The Canvas as a Witness to Presence and Absence Paul Czerlitzki’s (b. Gda¬sk, Poland, 1986; lives and works in Dusseldorf) painting practice experiments with the superimposition of temporal layers that emerge on monochrome color fields in the form of structures, dust particles, or impressions. Czerlitzki paints through the canvas to engender structures that form a negative imprint of the material. The canvas operates in the artist’s work not as a support but as a transfer medium: he stretches a second, untreated panel over a primed one and then impregnates it with acrylic paint, yielding a chromatic haze of varying intensity on the underlying canvas that eludes firm control. Conceiving painting as a laboratory, Czerlitzki thus visualizes the presence of different temporal and spatial constellations within the genesis of the picture. Czerlitzki participated in the celebrated exhibition Now! Painting in Germany Today, which, after three editions in Bonn, Chemnitz, and Wiesbaden, concluded with a major survey show at Hamburg’s Deichtorhallen. Works by the artist were shown recently at Kunsthalle Bern and are held by the Contemporary Art Collection of the Federal Republic of Germany; the Kunstmuseum Bonn; the Collection Ricard and the Collection Billarant in Paris; the Fondation CAB, Brussels; Philara Collection, Dusseldorf; and the collection of G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig, among others. DELAY is Czerlitzki’s first monograph and showcases works from the past ten years. With essays by Adam Budak and Michal Budny.

From the beginning, abstraction has been intrinsic to photography, and its persistent popularity reveals much about the medium. Now available in an affordable paperback edition, The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography is the first book in English to document this phenomenon and to put it into historical context, while also examining the diverse approaches thriving within contemporary photography. Author Lyle Rexer examines abstraction at pivotal moments, starting with the inception of photography, when many of the pioneers believed the camera might reveal other aspects of reality. The Edge of Vision traces subsequent explorations—from the Photo-Secessionists, who emphasized process and emotional expression over observed reality, to Modernist and Surrealist experiments. In the decades to follow, in particular from the 1950s through the 1980s, a multitude of photographers—Edward Weston, Aaron Siskind, Barbara Kasten, Ellen Carey and James Welling among them—took up abstraction from a variety of positions. Finally, Rexer explores the influence the history of abstraction exerts on contemporary thinking about the medium. Many contemporary artists—most prominently Penelope Umbrico, Michael Flomen, and Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin—reject classic definitions of photography's documentary dimension in favor of other conceptually inflected possibilities, somewhere between painting and sculpture, that include the manipulation of process and printing. In addition to Rexer's engagingly written and richly illustrated history, this volume includes a selection of primary texts from and interviews with key practitioners and critics, such as Alvin Langdon Coburn, László Moholy-Nagy, Gottfried Jägger, Silvio Wolf and Walead Beshty.

Love is brewing as a barista falls for a reclusive artist struggling with the tragic aftermath of an accident in this charming, epic romance. Audrey Adams knows the exact routine for all her regular customers. That's what happens when you work at the same Brooklyn coffee shop for years. So it's completely normal that she notices Theo Sullivan, a shy new patron who comes in at exactly 8:17 a.m., right? And that this incredibly tall (and cute) man never drinks his coffee, always leaves a generous tip, only stays long enough to scribble in a notebook, and wears the same KN95 mask. Call it barista instincts or a reasonable reaction to Theo's undeniable sweetness, but Audrey is crushing hard. Eagerly anticipating Theo's visits, Audrey relishes the precious few minutes they chat every time he orders his large, extra-hot Americano. When an incident reveals the horrific facial scar he's hiding beneath his mask, Theo flees the café in shame, dropping his sketchbook and leaving a part of his broken heart behind. Audrey decides to find Theo, return his book, and confess her feelings. Before long, they're inseparable, talking nonstop and meeting up for dates at the coffee shop. But Theo is reluctant to fully let Audrey into his heart. He continues to hide his scar and refuses to talk about his past. Their feelings are bubbling under the surface, but will Theo-and the truth behind his accident-keep him from finding the love they've both been longing for?

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING AMY ADAMS In this blazingly smart and voracious debut novel, an artist turned stay-at-home mom becomes convinced she's turning into a dog. "A must-read for anyone who can’t get enough of the ever-blurring line between the psychological and supernatural that Yellowjackets exemplifies." —Vulture One day, the mother was a mother, but then one night, she was quite suddenly something else... An ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler's demands, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband, who travels for work five days a week, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. As the mother's symptoms intensify, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. An outrageously original novel of ideas about art, power, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want.
