In Maldicidade, the city never sleeps. By dawn or dusk, in New York, Havana, Salvador da Bahia, or Tokyo, it is an environment fraught with yearning, aching with solitude, and fretful with fortunes never made. This searing urban portrait from visual artist Miguel Rio Branco draws upon his itinerant early years as the son of diplomats to reveal the common threads of struggle and loneliness in metropolises around the world. The images are impeccably captured, but the pictures are not always pretty. Rio Branco is not interested in documenting historic city landmarks, an impressive skyline, or the aspirational dreams that soar up towards it. Instead, he focuses his camera on the city's refuse and margins-on that which it has thrown away and on those it has cast aside and disappointed. In stark frames or soft impressions, it is street sleepers, beggars, prostitutes, stray dogs, smashed cars, and shattered glass that characterize his urban impressions. While subtle details reveal the specificity of place, it is the commonality of urban experience at the heart of Rio Branco's project. Light on local context or explanatory narrative, the images are instead meticulously arranged into one redolent sequence of a universal city. Working as if in the cutting studio, Rio Branco excels in the rhythm and succession of pictures, crafting evocative patterns of motif (decrepit buildings, lone figures, smashed-up cars); color (rich reds, dusty pinks, stark whites and blues); and form (an anguished street sleeper beside an ecstatic statue of a saint). Throughout, occasional pictures of women are proffered as sensual, hopeful reprieve, interspersing the grit and the grime in commanding portraits or up-close, supple nudes. At once incisive in its message and lyrical in its arrangement, Maldicidade focuses attention on the city's ineludible magnetism, as much as on its alienation and inhumanity. Biting, bare-faced, and achingly beautiful, it is a collection in which all city dwellers will find something of themselves, or something they long to escape.

Depuis l'aube de l'histoire humaine, des individus de cultures et de systemes de pensee divers levent les yeux vers le ciel en quete de reponses. Les mouvements des corps celestes et leur influence sur nos vies de mortels sont au coeur de l'astrologie, discipline millenaire respectee, voire reveree, qui a permis a l'Homme d'approfondir sa comprehension de lui-meme et du monde qui l'entoure. Si l'horoscope est la forme la plus triviale d'information astrologique que nous connaissions aujourd'hui, elle puise son origine en Mesopotamie. Comme le rappelle Andrea Richards dans Astrologie, le deuxieme volume de la Bibliotheque de l'Esoterisme de TASCHEN, l'astronomie et l'astrologie etaient autrefois des sciences jumelees: la Chambre du Roi de la grande pyramide de Gizeh a ete batie dans l'alignement des constellations, les Perses ont erige le premier observatoire et meme Galilee livrait leur horoscope aux Medicis. Avec la Renaissance et l'avenement des sciences exactes, cependant, la pratique astrologique a glisse dans les domaines ou le mystere etait encore permis, impregnant la litterature, les arts et la psychologie, inspirant des artistes et des penseurs comme Goethe, Byron et Blake, pour etre finalement vulgarisee a l'ere moderne par les Theosophes et autre adeptes du New Age. Compose sous la direction editoriale de Jessica Huntley, cette trepidante histoire visuelle de l'astrologie occidentale est le premier recueil d'envergure jamais publie sur le sujet, qui s'interesse a la signification symbolique de quelques 400 images, des temples egyptiens a l'art contemporain en passant par les manuscrits enlumines. Les oeuvres d'Alphonse Mucha, Hilma af Klint, Arpita Singh ou Manzel Bowman se suivent en sequences qui refletent la revolution des planetes et le cycle du zodiaque. Enrichi d'extraits d'entretiens avec de grands astrologues actuels comme Robert Hand, Jessica Lanydoo et Mecca Woods, Astrologie celebre les etoiles et l'influence mysterieuse qu'elles exercent sur notre quotidien. A propos de la collection La Bibliotheque de l'Esoterisme s'interesse aux artistes qui, au fil des siecles, ont transpose l'esoterique et l'obscur pour donner corps au mysticisme par des oeuvres visionnaires, a l'epreuve du temps. Chaque theme est presente a travers une imagerie ancienne et moderne, des pieces puisees dans les collections privees, bibliotheques d'archives et musees du monde entier. L'ensemble forme une histoire visuelle coherente, une etude de l'attraction primaire qu'exercent sur nous le reve et le cauchemar et des moyens imagines pour entrer en contact avec le divin.

Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be entered following the final judgment. When acclaimed photographer Sandro Vannini started his work in Egypt in the late '90s, a technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous multi-shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic reproductions that revealed colors in their original tones with vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover the objects' quintessential features alongside the sophisticated and cleverly hidden details. In collaboration with a series of international exhibitions, starting with King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh at the California Science Center in March 2018, this comprehensive guide marks the centenary of Carter's first excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless splendor. From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life, Vannini's portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian culture-but it is Tutankhamun's unique legacy that dominates these images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist Mohamed Megahed, and chapter introductions from scholars in the field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworld puts much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists including Salima Ikram and David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title a fitting tribute to the Boy King's odyssey, illuminating an epoch that spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years.

The last decade of the 20th century consolidated once again the fascinating power of the silver screen, both by looking to the future and drawing on the past. It's no exaggeration to say that never before had there been a time when the cinema focused so ironically on its own vanity, and never had it been so intensely preoccupied with itself as a medium. Filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, and Ang Lee created worlds that were as cryptic as they were disorientating, while James Cameron and Steven Spielberg conjured up ever more spectacular special effects. Do you dream of wandering the desert with The English Patient? Could you save yourself from the doomed Titanic? Are you still convinced that There's Something About Mary? 100 Movies of the 1990s reviews cinema's most important events from 1991 to 2000 and brings to life a rich variety of movie highlights. The storyline and aesthetic characteristics of each film are presented in an incisive and informative way. Commentaries on actors, directors, and historical or technical aspects of cinema introduce additional features of interest. 100 Movies of the 1990s is specialized yet entertaining, clear yet challenging. A work resembling a great moment of cinema, unforgettable and utterly gripping.
