An in-depth look at the fascinating sculptural works of one of the twentieth century's most innovative artists. Joseph Beuys (1921-86), - the German sculptor, teacher, activist and performance artist, became one of the most influential figures in modern and contemporary art. His charismatic presence, extraordinary life, and unconventional artistic style gained him international fame and notoriety during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. Beuys's innovative influence is particularly felt in the field of sculpture, whose definition he expanded to encompass performance art, activism and site-specific environments. His use of unconventional materials including fat, felt, honey, blood and living trees reflected both the mythologising of his personal history and his growing political commitment. This beautifully illustrated book investigates Beuys's sculpture, arguably the most fundamental aspect of his artistic work, as well as his extraordinary influence. Featured objects include a selection of Beuys's remarkable vitrines, cousins of standard museum presentations, featuring both hand-made and found objects blackboards on which he jused in delivering lectures and performances; room-sized environments; and many other objects that served as physical documentation of Beuys's performances. With a comprehensive chronology of Beuys's activities both as an artist and activist, this book is essential for those interested in the life, work, and legacy of one of twentieth century art's most intriguing figures.

" Que dire d''un livre dont on est amoureux depuis des années. Par où commencer ? A le voir exposé en vitrine dans les librairies parisiennes, j''ai éprouvé le désir d''en acheter des piles, d''en distribuer aux passants. Savoir le succès de ce livre est pour moi une satisfaction extraordinaire, la confirmation d''une justice dans les marécages du best-seller... Le Seigneur des anneaux doit-il la majeure partie de son charme à la conviction qui a présidé sa conception ? Géographie, histoire, généalogies légendaires, juxtaposition minutieuse d''infimes détails sur un canevas si riche et si coloré que l''on se prend à regretter, malgré la très volumineuse information fournie par l''auteur de ne pouvoir en savoir plus sur le " Tiers-age " et la Terre du Milieu (époque et situation géographique de l''épopée), sur ces peuples étranges, hobbits, elfes, etc. qui rendent le conte plus attachant que je ne saurais le dire et peuplent les rêves du lecteur d''images indélébiles, au charme et à la grandeur sournoisement efficace. J''envie celui ou celle qui ouvrira Le Seigneur des anneaux pour le première fois et va découvrir l''un des plus beaux livres que je connaisse, l''un de ceux que je relis régulièrement et qui sont très exactement au nombre de six... - Christopher Franck, Le PointCette édition reliée contient cinquante illustrations en couleur, tout spécialement conçues par Alan Lee pour commémorer le centenaire de la naissance de J.R.R. Tolkien. On y trouvera également les appendices ajoutés par Tolkien lui-même et les cartes figurant les lieux de son univers romanesque.Traduit de l''anglais par Francis Ledoux

Partindo das Exposições Universais, eventos que funcionavam como vitrine para as conquistas tecnológicas da burguesia no século XIX, o professor Francisco Foot Hardman investiga a expansão do capitalismo pelo globo, centrando-se no episódio da construção da ferrovia Madeira-Mamoré. O delírio desenvolvimentista levou operários de mais de quarenta países aos confins da Amazônia, para trabalhar em uma linha de trem cuja finalidade em pouco compensava os problemas de terreno e logística. Em um relato amplamente documentado, o autor mostra como esta obra faraônica custou a vida de milhares de trabalhadores anônimos. "Trabalho brilhante, maravilhosamente escrito." - Warren Dean, The Hispanic American Historical Review "Reflexão sobre a tragédia do moderno, um poema épico sem Fitzcarraldo e sem heróis míticos." - Olgária Matos, Folha Ilustrada "O percurso do trem-fantasma de Francisco Foot, investindo no maravilhoso da modernidade e do maquinismo, nos reconcilia com o avesso de nossa história, reconstruindo a pós-barbárie." - Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Folha de S.Paulo "A melancolia perpassa a excelente documentação do livro, que incorpora epígrafes e citações de autores tão díspares quanto Julio Cortázar e Sousândrade, Flaubert e Juan Rulfo, Gogol e Joyce." - Caio Fernando Abreu, A-Z

Le roman foisonnant où Céline raconte son enfance et sa jeunesse : " C'est sur ce quai-là, au 18, que mes bons parents firent de bien tristes affaires pendant l'hiver 92, ça nous remet loin. " C'était un magasin de " Modes, fleurs et plumes ". Y avait en tout comme modèles que trois chapeaux, dans une seule vitrine, on me l'a souvent raconté. La Seine a gelé cette année-là. Je suis né en mai. C'est moi le printemps.
