Young Love
Young Love is Karen Rosetzsky's first book, and as the title would suggest, is all about... 'young love'. Featuring a selection of photographs taken over the course of three years in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, New Orleans, Willemstad, Prague, Cape Town and Paris, it presents an eclectic mix of all sorts of different stories and people, joined together in a pattern that is Karen's incomparably raw and emotional sense of photography. Picture after picture shows an entirely personal insight into the magical world that is 'young love'. That all consuming, overwhelming moment filled with tenderness and desire, when nothing else seems to matter and you appear to love to the point of madness. That's the moment we all dream we could capture, and once gone, strive forever to relive. One simply can't help but fall in love... all over again.
Hay
'Opeens was ik een superstar. Om me heen was het een gekkenhuis, helemaal geweldig. Ik kon alles krijgen wat ik wilde, en daar heb ik misbruik van gemaakt. Ik was gewoon onwijs arrogant, ik had maling aan heel de wereld. Je kon geen serieus woord met me wisselen, ik probeerde je alleen maar op het verkeerde been te zetten. Onhandelbaar was ik, klaar. Een ongeleid projectiel. Ik deed maar wat, en ik kwam overal mee weg. Daar kan je heel onuitstaanbaar van worden.' 'Ja, toen was ie echt een prinsje,' zegt Sandra. 'Maar hij is daarna keihard op z'n bek gegaan, hoor.' Barry Hay, leadzanger van de grootste rockband van Nederland: The Golden Earring. Zevenenzestig jaar, maar aan star quality nog geen gebrek. Superfit, karakteristieke kop met zonnebril, tatoeages, pikzwart haar en een stem die al vijftig jaar mensenmassa's over de hele wereld in beweging brengt. In Hay vertelt hij openhartig over zijn leven in en buiten de spotlights, over zijn roerige jeugd, familie, zijn band met moederland India, zijn grote liefde Sandra, en uiteraard zijn rise to stardom vol seks, drugs en rock 'n roll.
Vi troede vi skulle
Hannah er i midten af trediverne og hun og kæresten Johan har i noget tid forsøgt at få et barn. De er ved at indse, at de nok har brug for hjælp, hvis det skal lykkes. Der er i det hele taget ikke meget i livet der går, som Hannah havde forventet. Og da Mina i den røde jakke dukker op, bliver det hele kun mere forvirrende. Marie Hougaard skriver med humor og ømhed om livet i midten af 30erne. Vi troede vi skulle er hendes debutroman og handler om familierelationer, om venskaber i forandring og om de forventninger, vi har til hinanden og til livet. Forventninger som kan være svære at indfri, når det hele ikke går, som man troede det skulle.
Nasty Galaxy
From Sophia Amoruso, the New York Times–bestselling author of #GIRLBOSS, a lushly illustrated embodiment of the collective spirit of the Nasty Gal brand, Sophia’s own personal brand, and girlbosses everywhere, with a foreword by Courtney Love. Warning: this is not a style book. It’s not about how to mix prints—it’s about how to leave yours on everything you touch. Highly graphic and visual, filled with illustrations, photos and short essays, Nasty Galaxy is part scrapbook, part inspo-journey, with moments of frivolity scattered throughout. Tactical and entertaining, envelope-pushing and conventional, surprising and refreshingly straightforward, Nasty Galaxy is a dive into Sophia’s philosophies on work, relationships, balance, friendships, and more. It is a celebration of her roots in vintage clothing, punk attitude, fringe characters, and don’t-give-a-fuckthought leadership. Nasty Galaxy is Amoruso’s newest life bible, approaching style, music, philosophy, and advice in the same way #GIRLBOSS approached business—unconventionally. Oversized and in full color, this is the newest, coolest, must-have accessory.
Art Photography
In the last decade, interest in photography has exploded. Among the most compelling and popular art forms, photography is now recognized as central to the development of modern and contemporary art. In this accessibly written survey, art photography comes alive through a series of frames--from documentary style and pictorialism to archives, narratives, and the conceptual uses of the medium. David Bate traces major developments and themes from the earliest days of photography, in the 1830s, to the present day, examining the many ways in which photography and art have intersected since the birth of the medium. Featuring works from a wide and international group of artists--including Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton, Lee Miller, Brassa , Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, Ed Ruscha, and Gillian Wearing--this comprehensive volume uncovers the Anglo-American and European contexts of art photography, as well as the Asian, African, and Middle Eastern perspectives.
Addicted to love
Jan Geurtz's famous classic Verslaafd aan liefde in English In Addicted to Love, Jan Geurtz clearly demonstrates how our search for love and approval stems from a fundamental self-rejection. We try to compensate for this by seeking other people's appreciation. But this is counterproductive: it actually makes us more insecure and therefore increasingly dependent. This creates an addiction to love, approval and the security of a relationship. As a result, most romantic relationships eventually fail, or - perhaps even worse - are reduced to dreary co-existence with little room for growth and happiness. With humour and practical examples, Jan Geurtz shows a way out of this vicious circle. Once we have let go of self-rejection, we find that our painful emotions, and also our sexual desires, are the gateway to a state of being that is completely free of restriction and dependence, and is filled with love and clarity - with or without a relationship. Jan Geurtz has written several books on addictions, including the bestseller Quit Smoking in One Day. He studied remedial pedagogy, education sciences and philosophy of science, and is inspired by Buddhism.
Queen's Gate
In 1999, Queen's Gate, Pia Tafdrup's ninth book, won Scandinavia's most prestigious literary award, the Nordic Council Literature Prize. Now available in English in a lovely rendition by David McDuff, English language readers can experience this outstanding poet's celebrated collection. From water you have come, writes Tafdrup, creating her own myth through a sequence of highly sensual poems centered on water in all its forms. This is a composite picture of the basic elements of the life-cycle of nature and man, mirrored through a conceptual world that takes the body as its axis, in poetic language of great visual and emotional power. The poems are written from a female point of view, and reflect the whole story of human life and suffering.
