The impossibility of locating a missing person launches me into an imaginary world. During sixty-five days, I visited thirty places in twenty-six different cities in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. These were either possible places where the child was seen for the last time, or significant places in his or her life: a school where the child studied, a grocery store where she went to buy candy, a bedroom, a house, or a neighborhood. This was an attempt to fill the empty spaces, but I found myself in the center of a social reality that collapses into a bottomless pit. Flavia Berindoague

Gleaned from Rainer Maria Rilke’s voluminous, never-before-translated correspondence, this volume offers the best writings and personal philosophy of one of the twentieth century’s greatest poets. The result is a profound vision of how the human drive to create and understand can guide us in every facet of life. Arranged by theme–from everyday existence with others to the exhilarations of love and the experience of loss, from dealing with adversity to the nature of inspiration–here are Rilke’s thoughts on how to infuse everyday life with beauty, wonder, and meaning. Intimate, stylistically masterful, brilliantly translated and assembled, and brimming with the passion of Rilke, Letters on Life is a font of wisdom and a perfect book for all occasions.

Fonthill, in Wiltshire, is traditionally associated with the writer and collector William Beckford who built his Gothic fantasy house called Fonthill Abbey at the end of the eighteenth century. The collapse of the Abbey’s tower in 1825 transformed the name Fonthill into a symbol for overarching ambition and folly, a sublime ruin. Fonthill is, however, much more than the story of one man’s excesses. Beckford’s Abbey is only one of several important houses to be built on the estate since the early sixteenth century, all of them eventually consumed by fire or deliberately demolished, and all of them oddly forgotten by historians. Little now remains: a tower, a stable block, a kitchen rang...
The five volumes on Idalet's artwork are short and easy to read but hope to be very thought-provoking. The biography repeats in every volume sothat it may be bought independently. The content of each volume consists of approximately 15 artworks. The descriptions and interpretations are very concise but may trigger many future debates on subtle energy vibrations. Artworks are available on www.onlinegallery.art.
