› Find signed collectible books: 'Andreas Gursky: Photographs'
In his large-format colour photos Gursky usually portrays vast panoramic views: "complete" townscapes, "endless horizons", huge factory halls and packed rooms, frequently from a birds eye view, always from a great distance. The people in these tableaux, reminiscent of the landscape paintings of romanticism in terms of composition and lighting, are reduced to the size of tiny decorative figures, whose "individuality" seems to drown in the "ornamentation of the masses." Devoid of any trace of reproach or intention to psychologize, Gurskys portraits of exteriors and interiors capturing scenes of work and leisure are subtle descriptions of the condition of our society.
Our book, the first major monograph of Gurskys photographic work since 1984, is now available again. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Andreas Gursky: Photographs from 1984 to the Present'
The first substantial monograph of Andreas Gurskys work since 1984 this series of large-format color photographs depicts vast panoramic scenes: entire cityscapes, endless horizons, multi-floored office buildings, huge factory corridors and crowded public spaces. Taken from a distance, often with a birds eye view, they represent more than a set of photographs of various locationsrather Gurskys work reflects both the art forms and the everyday aesthetics of 20th-century society. Many photographs are allegories, offering a cultural critique of mans role in nature, technology, art and society. Other resemble abstract paintings, in which Gursky applies a number of formal elements, such as light, composition and form, to convey a mood or subtle message. In their size and scope, in their reflective mood and social commentary, and in their many layers of meaning and interpretation, these exquisitely reproduced portraits of interior and exterior spaces display the qua! lities that have made Andreas Gursky one of the most respected landscape photographers of his generation.

This cutting-edge book looks at why the world's most interesting buildings are becoming the hottest destinations for today's travellers. In the last few decades architecture has become a major focus for tourists, rather than merely part of a larger travel itinerary. Illustrated with one hundred colour and mono photographs and with eye-catching, innovative, refreshing layout and graphics by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center design team, this series of provocative essays and contributions by leading scholars, critics, architects and artists explores the role of architecture in the contemporary tourist imagination. From Mont Saint Michel and the Taj Mahal to Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum and the Blur Building in Switzerland's Lake Neuchatel, the authors focus on how certain iconic buildings have found their way into the cultural consciousness. At the same time they offer insights as to why other buildings, such as Minnesota's Mall of America and the faux architecture of Las Vegas, have become integral to their regions' tourist economy-and postulate how this success will influence architecture of the future.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Elizabeth Costello'
Elizabeth Costello es una reconocida novelista australiana cuya dilatada vida se nos revela a través de una ingeniosa serie de ocho conferencias. Desde el discurso de aceptación de un premio en una facultad de letras de Nueva Inglaterra y una conferencia sobre el mal celebrada en Amsterdam, hasta una lectura del poeta Robert Duncan plena de alusiones sexuales, Coetzee conduce al lector inexorablemente hacia un final que, como es habitual en este autor, nos impulsa a la reflexión más profunda.
Fruto de una imaginación vívida y escrita en una prosa certera, Elizabeth Costello es, en apariencia, la historia de una mujer en su faceta de madre, hermana, amante y escritora. Pero es también una incisiva y cautivadora meditación sobre la esencia de narrar historias, y una defensa de la necesidad de ponerse en lugar del otro para comprender que la humanidad es única. Solo un escritor de la talla de Coetzee puede llevar a cabo dicha tarea.
«El surafricano J. M. Coetzee es uno de los mejores novelistas vivos y no digo el mejor porque, para hacer una afirmación semejante, habría que haberlos leído a todos.»

Barcelona, the late 1920s - Mies van der Rohe is commissioned to design the German contributions for the 1929 International Exhibition, including the German Pavilion. Today his brief for this building reads like a modernist manifesto: a contemporary building, an imposing stage, a timeless work of art, a masterpiece of the avant-garde and an icon of modern architecture. It has been called a Palace of Reflections, with straight lines, bare walls and large planes criss-crossed by rays of light. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Frankenstein'
Frankenstein, loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayered doppelgänger themes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image & but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating afterword by Joyce Carol Oates. [via]

Las Vegas: A Guide to Recent Architecture is one in a series of lovely little guides to many of the world's major cities created by British publisher Ellipsis. The information contained here ranges from brief perspectives on the city's architectural history to tips on which maps are best for visitors and how to navigate the local public transit system. The book considers architecture not as something that happens on isolated building sites, but rather as social, cultural, and political phenomena. At four inches square, this highly portable book is an ideal travel companion.
Some of the other books in the series cover Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, and Tokyo. Each guidebook has its own flavor, as different writers--usually architects--cover each city. --Loren E. Baldwin [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mathematical Experience'
We tend to think of mathematics as uniquely rigorous, and of mathematicians as supremely smart. In his introduction to The Mathematical Experience, Gian-Carlo Rota notes that instead, "a mathematician's work is mostly a tangle of guesswork, analogy, wishful thinking and frustration, and proof ... is more often than not a way of making sure that our minds are not playing tricks." Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh discuss everything from the nature of proof to the Euclid myth, and mathematical aesthetics to non-Cantorian set theory. They make a convincing case for the idea that mathematics is not about eternal reality, but comprises "true facts about imaginary objects" and belongs among the human sciences. [via]

In recent architecture theory and practise there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life, free from the rigid material form, and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of projects are presented to show how the architects regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in a digital age. [via]

Espionage novel. Conrad's other novel of this same kind is "The Secret Agent." According to Wikipedia: "Joseph Conrad (1857 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist. Many critics regard him as one of the greatest novelists in the English languagea fact that is remarkable, as he did not learn to speak English fluently until he was in his twenties (and always with a strong Polish accent). He became a naturalized British subject in 1886. Conrad is recognized as a master prose stylist. Some of his works have a strain of romanticism, but more importantly he is recognized as an important forerunner of modernist literature. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced many writers, including Ernest Hemingway, D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, William S. Burroughs, Joseph Heller, V.S. Naipaul, Italo Calvino and J. M. Coetzee." [via]

Launched simultaneously in Spain and the Americas, this work aims to divulge the great novel of Spanish Literature by means of a high quality, well-taken care of edition at a very reduced price. The book contains a prologue by Mario Vargas Llosa, an introductory text and complementary analysis by other academics, along with an extensive glossary of terms that will help readers get to know Cervantes language. This beautiful hardbound edition is 5 x 8 inches, 1360 pages of fine biblical Italian paper, and will be sewn at the spine with fine vegetable thread. This work constitutes, without a doubt, the most complete, serious, high quality commemorative edition.
Having an immediate success when first published 400 years ago, and with its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been recognized as the worlds first modern novel. Don Quixote tells the story of a middle-aged Spanish gentleman who, obsessed with the chivalrous ideals found in romantic books, decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless, destroy the wicked, and win the heart of his beloved Dulcinea. Seated upon his ever so lean horse, and accompanied by the pragmatic and faithful squire Sancho Panza, Don Quixote rides the roads of Spain seeking glory and grand adventure. Along the way the duo meet a dazzling assortment of characters whose diverse beliefs and perspectives reveal how reality and imagination are frequently indistinguishable. [via]

Esta extraordinaria novela, cuenta su autora, tiene su remoto origen en las reflexiones que le inspiro una biografa americana de Coleridge que habia dedicado toda su vida al estudio del poeta. Todo empieza con unas cartas robadas. Roland Mitchell, un oscuro graduado en literatura inglesa, descubre entre unos libros, dos cartas inconclusas y nunca enviadas a una desconocida mujer. Roland investiga la identidad de la misteriosa corresponsal y descubre que esta es Christabel LaMotte, oscura, ambigua poetisa de la epoca, reivindicada en la actualidad por feministas y lesbianas. Roland ha hecho un descubrimiento que puede lanzarle a una brillante carrera academica y constituir un hito en el estudio de la poesia victoriana. Y acompanado por una mas que atractiva especialista en la obra de Christabel, seguiran un rastro de poemas, diarios y cartas, y gradualmente poseidos por aquellos que buscaban poseer, reconstruiran una historia de pasiones alli donde nunca se supo que las hubiera.

Klappentext:
In der 1785 veröffentlichten Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten formuliert Kant erstmals die Prinzipien einer universalistischen Ethik der Autonomie, deren Einfluß bis heute ungebrochen ist. Schon beim Übergang von der gemeinen zur philosophischen Vernunfterkenntnis findet man die Hauptgedanken: In der Ethik geht es nicht primär um das gute Leben und das Glück, und es geht auch zunächst nicht darum, welche Handlungserfolge erzielt werden; Gegenstand moralischer Hochschätzung sind vielmehr Intentionen und Maximen. Gut ist, was für alle vernünftigen Wesen gilt, weil es von ihnen als autonomen und vernünftigen Wesen gewollt wird.Die Schrift ist kurz, einfach gegliedert und verständlich geschrieben. Sie eignet sich daher als Einführung in Kants Ethik, enthält aber zugleich als Grundlegung alle wesentlichen Gedanken seiner praktischen Philosophie.Auf der Grundlage der Originalausgabe von 1785/86 wurde der Text völlig neu erstellt. Eines der wichtigsten Bücher der Philosophiegeschichte liegt damit in einer zuverlässigen und preisgünstigen Neuausgabe vor.

Es ist eine gute Weile her, daß ich Immanuel Kants Kritik der Urteilskraft (1790) gelesen habe. Beim neuerlichen Reinschauen aber erfaßt mich wieder der Wortstrudel der Kantschen Syntax und Begrifflichkeiten, der das Hirn nach nur wenigen Sätzen seiner linguistischen Funktionalität zu berauben scheint. Spätestens beim ersten Umblättern stellt sich jenes Aha-Gefühl ein, das einen sonst nur beim Anblick asiatischer Sprachsysteme befällt, beim Lesen eines deutschen Textes aber an den Rand des Wahnsinn bringen kann.
Wer nun gleich aufgibt, erspart sich zwar eine Menge Lesearbeit, beraubt sich zugleich aber einer ungemein spannenden Lektüreerfahrung. Kant begreifen heißt, sich auf seine Sprache einlassen. So nähert man sich fast zwangsläufig einer zentralen Idee dieser dritten großen kritischen Schrift. Denn, sagt Kant, das Wesen des Geschmacks liegt darin, daß er ohne das Interesse am Objekt des Urteils auskommt. Ästhetisches Urteilen ist interesseloses Wohlgefallen (oder Mißfallen), der Zweck bleibt außen vor. Will heißen: Die Bewertung der Qualität der "Kritik der Urteilskraft" steht vollkommen außerhalb der Frage, ob die Quälerei irgendetwas bringt. Schließlich lasse sich über das Erhabene und Schöne nicht streiten, "und sofern kann man nicht sagen: Ein jeder hat seinen besonderen Geschmack".
Das große Rätsel dieses Werks bleibt das Paradox zwischen allem Anfang Ästhetischen Empfindens im Subjektiven und einem "Gemeinsinn", der es einem erlaubt, das eigene Schönheitsempfinden mit anderen zu teilen. Und die Einsicht in dieses seltsame Verhältnis sorgt für die intellektuelle Lust, die einem diese Erkenntnis (und jede andere etwas komplizierte auch) vermitteln kann. Fragen Sie nicht, was es bringt. Lesen und urteilen Sie! --Harald Stucke [via]
