Doch wer hat nun Recht? Verstößt ein Voyeur letztlich mit seinem Handeln auch gegen das Gesetzt und die Moral, so erscheint es dennoch engstirnig, den Fakt zu leugnen, dass die Veranlagung zum Schauen jedem Menschen innewohnt. Gerade das Medium Film bekräftigt diese Aussage, denn auch dort beobachten wir andere Menschen. Somit liegt es nahe, dass sich der Film mit der Thematik des Voyeurismus subtil oder plakativ auseinandersetzt.

Ein Motiv, welches sich durch Hitchcocks Werk zieht und in Rear Window seinen Höhepunkt erreicht und damit ein Meisterwerk schafft, welches in der Film- und Fernsehgeschichte immer wieder kopiert, zitiert und parodiert wurde.

'Creepy, funny, heartfelt, and full of fantastic characters I absolutely loved' Melissa Caruso on Nettle & Bone Marguerite Florian is a spy with two problems.

"Ci sono vite ordinarie, è giusto che ci siano, ma la tua no, la tua vita è pazzesca, è strana, è inspiegabile, è straordinaria. Tu sei fatto per raccogliere gli stimoli più estremi, tu sei destinato a un sentimento vario, universale, colossale, a esplorare quello che significano in ogni sfumatura il sesso, il dolore, l'amore." Siamo a Milano, negli anni di Expo. Dafne ha venticinque anni, studia Medicina, è benestante, graziosa e giudiziosa, e ha un tale bisogno di essere amata da non voler capire che la sua relazione sta andando in pezzi. Davide è uno studente di Ingegneria fisica al Politecnico, vive in periferia, ha la bellezza timida e inconsapevole di chi da bambino è stato grasso e preso in giro dai compagni di scuola. Dante ha quarant'anni, è un affascinante uomo d'affari, ricco e in apparenza senza scrupoli, capace di tenerezza soltanto con la figlia Diletta. Dafne, Davide e Dante non lo sanno, ma tutti e tre hanno in comune una cosa: stanno con lo stesso ragazzo. Si tratta di Christian: ex modello, bellissimo. Seduttivo, manipolatore, egocentrico, Christian ha in sé i mostri e la magia: è bipolare, e alterna picchi di irrefrenabile euforia a terrificanti abissi depressivi, trascinando nel suo mondo spezzato anche Julian, il fratello adolescente, per cui prova un affetto eccessivo, quasi soffocante. Christian catalizza e amplifica come un prisma i desideri di Dafne, Davide e Dante, e le vite di questi quattro personaggi finiscono per intessersi così fittamente che nemmeno al momento della verità - e alla caduta che ne consegue - riusciranno a slegarsi. Regina delle fanfiction e già acclamata dalla critica per l'esordio Comunque vada non importa, Eleonora C. Caruso in questo romanzo conferma il suo grandissimo talento letterario affondando senza timore, e con la voce di una vera scrittrice, in una materia densa, oscura, palpitante - la vita, che deve pur essere qualcosa di più della somma di ciò che abbiamo perduto. contributori LE Emanuela Cardani

"Lauren Okie is one of my favorite new voices in romance.” – B.K. Borison, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Spirits In this lush, slow-burning romance, two childhood neighbors, connected by a shared tragedy, unexpectedly reunite to ghostwrite a love story for a reclusive author. Spending the summer at her secluded Hamptons estate, they soon discover that dozens of classic romance tropes, including the ones they’re crafting on page, are mysteriously playing out in real life. Katie Caruso is a completely normal twenty-five-year-old girl. At least, for the past eight years, she’s tried to be. She likes glitter and sequins and flirting with cute boys at New York City bars. She’s also a ghostwriter for Meredith Bradford, the bestselling romance novelist of all time. But then Tyler McNally walks back into Katie’s life, and that bedazzled facade crumbles at her platform-sneakered feet. Katie and Tyler haven’t seen or spoken to each other since the overdose death of Katie’s older brother, a standout MLB pitching prospect. Tyler was her brother’s best friend, and Katie—naturally—was the girl next door. But now, Tyler is a sleeve-tattooed, Ivy League–educated aspiring literary fiction novelist, nine years sober . . . and Katie’s writing partner for the summer. As genre conventions require, Katie and Tyler soon find themselves removed from Manhattan and instead writing their love story in “forced proximity” at Meredith’s isolated Southampton home. As the summer unfolds, the tropes Katie and Tyler have written into their novel begin to play out in their own lives. Call it destiny, fate, or magic itself: it’s clear their love story isn’t finished. This time, though, they’ll work through the pain that tore them apart—and fight for their happy ending. Heart-wrenching and tender, Tropesick is a love letter to the romance genre. With a wink and a nod, Okie has packed the novel with readers’ favorite tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine Brother’s best friend Girl next door Forced proximity Forbidden love Kissing in the rain Groveling hero Second-chance romance Slow burn Only one bed

Una ragazza è seduta su una ruota di scorta bucata, in mezzo al nulla della campagna novarese. I suoi capelli, un tempo rosa zucchero filato, ora sono un garbuglio di colori improbabili. Pochi riconoscerebbero in lei Cloro, celebrità di internet con milioni di follower in tutto il mondo. Insieme a lei, a tentare di riparare un'auto che ha macinato migliaia di chilometri, c'è Leo, trentaquattrenne disilluso, che dalla vita non ha avuto nulla di ciò che si aspettava - e dire che non si aspettava molto. Soltanto uno come lui, senza niente da perdere, avrebbe accettato di partire da Milano alla volta dell'entroterra catanese per recuperare un amico finito in una presunta setta in cui si vive come negli anni Novanta. La setta esiste davvero, all'interno di una masseria abbandonata, ed è guidata da Zan, un uomo ambiguo e magnetico convinto di aver compreso la Verità dopo un lavoro da incubo come moderatore di una piattaforma. Leo rimane alla masseria per tre mesi, ma si accorge di Cloro solo quando lei gli chiede un passaggio per Milano. Inizia così il loro viaggio in auto dalla Sicilia alla Lombardia, sedici ore previste che si dilatano in cinque giorni, attraverso varie tappe in città e paesini dalle atmosfere sempre più surreali, perché l'Italia sta per entrare in lockdown. Leo e Cloro, che non potrebbero essere più diversi, durante il viaggio ricostruiscono le loro vite e le ragioni che li hanno portati alla masseria, discutono, si fraintendono, si allontanano e si avvicinano di nuovo, più simili di quanto entrambi siano disposti ad accettare. Con Doveva essere il nostro momento, Eleonora C. Caruso continua un percorso ideale iniziato con Le ferite originali e proseguito con Tutto chiuso tranne il cielo per consegnarci il suo romanzo più stratificato e compiuto. Attraverso i suoi formidabili personaggi mette in scena le paure, i desideri e i fallimenti di due generazioni, sempre sul punto di afferrare il senso - che continuamente sfugge - della propria esistenza nel mondo, a cui aggrapparsi quando ogni cosa sembra scivolare verso la rovina. contributori LE Viola Graziosi LE Riccardo Ricobello

From two-time Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Paladin's Strength, the perfect blend of cosy fantasy romance and classic fantasy adventure featuring an order of secretive nuns, a swashbuckling paladin and a strange hive of rabbits. He's a paladin of a dead god, tracking a supernatural killer across a continent. She's a nun from a secretive order, on the trail of the raiders who burned her convent and kidnapped her sisters. When their paths cross at the point of a sword, Istvhan and Clara will be pitched headlong into each other's quests, facing off against enemies both living and dead. But Clara has a secret that could jeopardize the growing trust between them, a secret that will lead them to the gladiatorial pits of a corrupt city, and beyond... Praise for T. Kingfisher: 'T. Kingfisher solidifies her place as natural and inevitable heir to the greats of her genre, while remaining clearly and unquestionably a unique voice in fantasy' Seanan McGuire 'Exciting, deeply wise, sad, brutal and compassionate all at once. And beautifully written, with a plot as cunning as fine embroidery' Catriona Ward 'Creepy, funny, heartfelt, and full of fantastic characters I absolutely loved' Melissa Caruso, author of The Tethered Mage "Nettle & Bone brings Kingfisher's signature honesty and authenticity to a fairy tale setting: the result is refreshing, earnest but not naive, and deeply satisfying.

Wie Skulpturen erheben sich die Gebäude mit ihren eleganten Formen und prächtigen Fassaden: Bauwerke im Art-déco-Stil spiegeln das Selbstbewusstsein der »Goldenen Zwanzigerjahre« wider. Die Architekten Niels Lehmann und Christoph Rauhut spürten Gebäude aus dieser Zeit in London und Südengland auf. Dieses bauliche Erbe dokumentierten sie in dem einzigartigen Bildband »Modernism London Style«. Die mehr als 230 hochwertigen Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien sind jetzt im Hirmer Verlag erschienen.Art déco – mehr als ein Baustil Der Art déco demonstriert wie kein anderer Stil die Aufbruchsstimmung der Menschen in der Zeit zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen. Dieses Lebensgefühl machte sich in Alltagsgegenständen genauso wie in der Kunst und Architektur bemerkbar. Von Paris ausgehend verbreitete sich der Stil des Art déco ab den 1920er-Jahren in weiten Teilen Europas, Amerikas und bis nach Neuseeland. Mondäne Kaufhäuser und Hotels, luxuriöse Wohnbauten in grünen Vororten, Fabrikgebäude und Bahnhöfe entstanden damals in diesem Stil – auch in London. Mit ihren großflächigen Fassaden und exklusiven Verzierungen heben sich hier die Bauten des Art déco von anderen ab, fügen sich jedoch gleichzeitig perfekt in das bestehende Stadtbild mit älteren und neueren architektonischen Stilen ein. Fast drei Jahre lang bereisten Niels Lehmann und Christoph Rauhut die englische Hauptstadt, um Art-déco-Gebäude zu finden und deren architektonische Besonderheiten im Bild festzuhalten. Dabei konzentrierten sie sich auf die klaren geometrischen Formen und wiederkehrenden Motive wie den Halbkreis, die die Bauwerke des Art déco auszeichnen. Eine architektonische Reise durch London Mit dem Bildband »Modernism London Style« gelang Lehmann und Rauhut eine einzigartige Dokumentation von Londoner Art-déco-Bauwerken und eine beachtliche Sammlung von hochwertigen Architektur-Fotografien. Auch wenn die Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder erst in den vergangenen drei Jahren aufgenommen wurden, nimmt der Bildband den Betrachter mit auf eine Zeitreise in das London der 1920er- und 30er-Jahre. Vor allem die hohe Qualität der Gebäude ist auf den Bildern gut zu erkennen. Damit bestätigen Lehmann und Rauhut, dass die zeitgenössischen Architekten besonders wertvolle und langlebige Materialien für die Art-déco-Gebäude verwendeten. Diese sind bis heute sehr gut erhalten. Die gestochen scharfen Fotografien ganzer Gebäudekomplexe oder Detailaufnahmen der edlen Art-déco-Fassaden hinterlassen einen starken Eindruck beim Leser. Das harte Sonnenlicht, das bei den Aufnahmen ausgenutzt wurde, verstärkt die Licht- und Schattenwirkung. So tritt die bildhauerische Kraft und räumliche Tiefe dieser Architektur besonders zutage. »Modernism London Style« – der Bildband Der Bildband enthält mehr als 230 großformatige Aufnahmen von Art-déco-Gebäuden in London und Südengland. Die Fotografien sind meist chronologisch geordnet. Bauwerke mit ähnlicher Form und Gestaltung folgen unmittelbar aufeinander, um den gemeinsamen Kontext zu betonen. In einem einleitenden Essay beschreibt der Londoner Architekt Adam Caruso unterhaltsam und mit vielen Beispielen die Entwicklung des Art déco in England. Ein bebilderter Index am Ende des Buches ordnet jedem Bauwerk Baujahr, Architekt und Straße zu. Auf detaillierten Landkarten sieht der Leser die genaue Lage jedes Gebäudes, das es zum Beispiel auf einer London-Reise zu entdecken gibt.

Mondäne Kaufhäuser und Hotels, luxuriöse Wohnbauten in grünen Vororten, Fabrikgebäude und Bahnhöfe entstanden damals in diesem Stil – auch in London. Mit ihren großflächigen Fassaden und exklusiven Verzierungen heben sich hier die Bauten des Art déco von anderen ab, fügen sich jedoch gleichzeitig perfekt in das bestehende Stadtbild mit älteren und neueren architektonischen Stilen ein. Fast drei Jahre lang bereisten Niels Lehmann und Christoph Rauhut die englische Hauptstadt, um Art-déco-Gebäude zu finden und deren architektonische Besonderheiten im Bild festzuhalten. Dabei konzentrierten sie sich auf die klaren geometrischen Formen und wiederkehrenden Motive wie den Halbkreis, die die Bauwerke des Art déco auszeichnen. Eine architektonische Reise durch London Mit dem Bildband »Modernism London Style« gelang Lehmann und Rauhut eine einzigartige Dokumentation von Londoner Art-déco-Bauwerken und eine beachtliche Sammlung von hochwertigen Architektur-Fotografien. Auch wenn die Schwarz-Weiß-Bilder erst in den vergangenen drei Jahren aufgenommen wurden, nimmt der Bildband den Betrachter mit auf eine Zeitreise in das London der 1920er- und 30er-Jahre. Vor allem die hohe Qualität der Gebäude ist auf den Bildern gut zu erkennen. Damit bestätigen Lehmann und Rauhut, dass die zeitgenössischen Architekten besonders wertvolle und langlebige Materialien für die Art-déco-Gebäude verwendeten. Diese sind bis heute sehr gut erhalten. Die gestochen scharfen Fotografien ganzer Gebäudekomplexe oder Detailaufnahmen der edlen Art-déco-Fassaden hinterlassen einen starken Eindruck beim Leser. Das harte Sonnenlicht, das bei den Aufnahmen ausgenutzt wurde, verstärkt die Licht- und Schattenwirkung. So tritt die bildhauerische Kraft und räumliche Tiefe dieser Architektur besonders zutage. »Modernism London Style« – der Bildband Der Bildband enthält mehr als 230 großformatige Aufnahmen von Art-déco-Gebäuden in London und Südengland. Die Fotografien sind meist chronologisch geordnet. Bauwerke mit ähnlicher Form und Gestaltung folgen unmittelbar aufeinander, um den gemeinsamen Kontext zu betonen. In einem einleitenden Essay beschreibt der Londoner Architekt Adam Caruso unterhaltsam und mit vielen Beispielen die Entwicklung des Art déco in England. Ein bebilderter Index am Ende des Buches ordnet jedem Bauwerk Baujahr, Architekt und Straße zu. Auf detaillierten Landkarten sieht der Leser die genaue Lage jedes Gebäudes, das es zum Beispiel auf einer London-Reise zu entdecken gibt.

"Lauren Okie is one of my favorite new voices in romance." - B.K. Borison, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Spirits In this lush, slow-burning romance, two childhood neighbors, connected by a shared tragedy, unexpectedly reunite to ghostwrite a love story for a reclusive author. Spending the summer at her secluded Hamptons estate, they soon discover that dozens of classic romance tropes, including the ones they're crafting on page, are mysteriously playing out in real life. Katie Caruso is a completely normal twenty-five-year-old girl. At least, for the past eight years, she's tried to be. She likes glitter and sequins and flirting with cute boys at New York City bars. She's also a ghostwriter for Meredith Bradford, the bestselling romance novelist of all time. But then Tyler McNally walks back into Katie's life, and that bedazzled facade crumbles at her platform-sneakered feet. Katie and Tyler haven't seen or spoken to each other since the overdose death of Katie's older brother, a standout MLB pitching prospect. Tyler was her brother's best friend, and Katie-naturally-was the girl next door. But now, Tyler is a sleeve-tattooed, Ivy League-educated aspiring literary fiction novelist, nine years sober . . . and Katie's writing partner for the summer. As genre conventions require, Katie and Tyler soon find themselves removed from Manhattan and instead writing their love story in "forced proximity" at Meredith's isolated Southampton home. As the summer unfolds, the tropes Katie and Tyler have written into their novel begin to play out in their own lives. Call it destiny, fate, or magic itself: it's clear their love story isn't finished. This time, though, they'll work through the pain that tore them apart-and fight for their happy ending. Heart-wrenching and tender, Tropesick is a love letter to the romance genre. With a wink and a nod, Okie has packed the novel with readers' favorite tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine Brother's best friend Girl next door Forced proximity Forbidden love Kissing in the rain Groveling hero Second-chance romance Slow burn Only one bed
