Stand was a 2012 site-specific installation by Robert Longo (born 1953) which fully utilized the unique architecture of the Capitain Petzel gallery in Berlin. The building was shrouded with an enormous monochrome depiction of the American flag. Upon entering the gallery, the viewer was immediately confronted with a large charcoal drawing. This was flanked by two drawings: one depicted a mass of Occupy Wall Street protesters; the other, a lone American soldier walking toward an uncertain and ominous future. With the consent of the artist, Longo also updated the style and content of Hans Haacke's Oelgemaelde, Hommage à Marcel Broodthaers (1982). He replaced Ronald Reagan, opposite an image of a crowd protesting the deployment of American missiles in Bonn, with President Obama, facing Tea Party protestors. The remainder of the gallery exhibited a group of 25 drawings and featured a performance based upon the classic American novel Moby Dick.

A comprehensive monograph spanning thirty years of the career of acclaimed artist Robert Longo. Robert Longo is a painter, sculptor, and filmmaker who draws his subjects from the media—movies, television, magazines, and comic strips. His works explore the significance of pictures and symbols in popular culture as well as the alienation of the individual. He achieved critical acclaim in the 1980s with Men in the Cities, a dynamic series depicting modern businessmen and women in contorted positions, a commentary on contemporary afflictions and anxieties. His most recent work includes large-scale charcoal drawings of abstracted imagery, infused with an atmospheric sensation of light. In these, Longo is focused on the shifts of perception that an image can evoke and extend in relation to its environment.

Robert Longo's mastery of charcoal drawing has made him one of America's most admired artists. With every new work he reinvests the tradition of history painting with fresh relevance and impact, rendering majestic, era-defining images in a sensuous and sculptural photorealism. Longo's sense of both literal scale and historical scope is monumental, as a survey of his numerous serial works soon reveals: the Freud Drawings cycle of 2000 with its large-format treatment of Edmund Engelmann's photographs of Sigmund Freud's Vienna apartment, taken days before Freud's departure for London; or the 2003 Sickness of Reasonseries, with its high-contrast images of atomic explosions, combining sublimity and terror; or the famous one-drawing-per-day Magellan sequence of the mid-1990s, a virtual atlas of the iconography of the 1990s, intermixed with images from Longo's immediate daily life. This handsome, chunky volume surveys Longo's drawings of the past two decades, from Magellan and the Freud cycle to Monsters (2000), Sickness of Reason (2003), Ophelia (2002), Beginning of the World (2007) and others.Robert Longo was born in Brooklyn in 1953 and received a BFA in sculpture from Buffalo State College in 1975. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Longo collaborated with musicians loosely associated with New York's No Wave movement, such as Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham and Jonathan Kane, and formed the band Robert Longo's Menthol Wars. In the 1980s, as his Men in the City drawing series was winning him critical acclaim, Longo also directed several music videos, including New Order's “Bizarre Love Triangle” and R.E.M.'s “The One I Love.” In 1995 he directed the cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren and “Beat” Takeshi.

Fascinating, brief life of an amazing layman. Born in 1841, Bartolo was a restless soul searching for truth. Caught up in the tide of liberalism sweeping through the universities at the time, he turned to the occult until a devout friend changed the course of his life. Fearing for his salvation, Bartolo vowed to promote the Rosary in an obscure Italian village. However, with God's grace, his small initiative grew to become a world-famous shrine (Our Lady of the Rosary at Pompeii) and a city devoted to charitable work. Many photos.

Maior consultor de investimento do século XX, Benjamin Graham ensinou e inspirou pessoas de todo o mundo. O conceito de "valor de investimento" protegia os investidores de erros substanciais e os ensinou a desenvolver estratégias de longo prazo, fazendo com que O investidor inteligente se tornasse a Bíblia do mercado de ações desde sua primeira publicação, em 1949.

Negra de origem humilde, Paulina Chiziane teve de percorrer um longo caminho até se firmar como escritora. Primeira mulher moçambicana a publicar um romance, a autora faz uma literatura ligada às suas raízes culturais, abordando temas femininos num país em que a atividade é exercida quase em sua totalidade por homens - um dos principais escritores moçambicanos de hoje é Mia Couto, de quem a Companhia das Letras publicou, em 2003, Um rio chamado tempo, uma casa chamada terra . Niketche conta a história de Tony, um alto funcionário da polícia, e sua mulher Rami, casados há vinte anos. Certo dia, Rami descobre que o marido é polígamo: tem outras quatro mulheres e vários filhos. As esposas de Tony estão espalhadas pelo país: em Maputo, em Inhambane, na Zambézia, em Nampula, em Cabo Delgado. Numa decisão surpreendente, Rami decide ir atrás das mulheres do marido. O romance retrata a busca de Rami como uma incursão pelo desconhecido e uma tentativa de lidar com a diferença, simbolizada pelas amantes do marido. Niketche é uma das danças do norte de Moçambique, extremo oposto de onde mora Rami. Ritual de amor e erotismo, a dança é desempenhada pelas meninas durante cerimônias de iniciação. Narrado em primeira pessoa por Rami, o livro alterna bom humor e lirismo. Neta de uma contadora de histórias, Chiziane herdou da avó o talento narrativo para construir histórias simples e envolventes sobre a vida cotidiana em seu país.

Este é um livro de vampyros e vampyras autênticos para vamps autênticos, vampyros populares, vampyros enclausurados e simpatizantes ao longo do véu negro... Aqui o leitor poderá desvendar os mistérios, confidências, desejos e repertórios simbólicos da arte do vampyrismo real e de sua envolvente sabedoria perene guardada para aqueles que caminham sob a guarda das estrelas e do luar vivendo seu destino. O leitor poderá revisitar o mito e o arquétipo vampyrico no passado do leste europeu, seu folclore, seus ritos e as antigas religiões pagãs que coabitaram a encruzilhada cultural dos bálcãs - antes do extermínio deles. Também apreciará como a moderna subcultura vampyrica se reapropria e reinterpreta todo esse repertório passado dentro de um contexto coerente e contemporâneo. Mesmo sem qualquer conhecimento anterior sobre vampyrismo, vampirismo e afins, você poderá entender, aprofundar e, quem sabe, se identificar e integrar - com discernimento e moderação - os mistérios (aquilo que apenas pode ser experimentado) que compõem este nosso lado da vida, tanto em suas vertentes humanistas e laicas quanto em sua vertente de cosmovisão.
