El Greco is summoned to paint a portrait of Cardinal Nino de Guevara, the despised Grand Inquisitor of Spain, an inordinately cruel man with deeply held convictions. The painter faces the choice of capitulating or fleeing. He andhis friends Dr Cazalla do what they must to retain their personal freedom while living in virtual bondage. Stefan Andres wrote the book in 1935 as new restraints were being imposed by the Nazis on the artistic community in Germany, and it was immediately recognised as a veiled document of resistance to the Nazi tyranny. ...

These works by photographer and videographer Marco Poloni consist of photo storyboards for films never made. Haunting black-and-white images and accompanying captions suggest noir danger, but in fact, all action, if indeed there is any, takes place outside the frame. The viewer is thus forced into the role of a confidant, an unwilling party to a conspiracy. In this way, Poloni plays with our certainty about the alleged ability of a picture to be representative of reality. The frame is the ultimate arbiter of the story.Essays by Pierre-André Lienhard and Stefan Banz.Hardcover, 8.5 x 11.75 in./184 pgs / 75 b&w. ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Erich Kästner (German pronunciation: ) (23 February 1899 - 29 July 1974) was a German author, poet, screenwriter and satirist, known for his humorous, socially astute poetry and children's literature. Kästner was born in Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony. He grew up in the Königsbrücker Straße of Dresden's Äußere Neustadt. Close by, the Erich Kästner Museum is located on the ground floor of Kästner's uncle Franz Augustin's former villa on Antonstraße next to the Albertplatz. Kästner's father Emil was a master saddlemaker. His mother Ida, née Augustin, was a maidservant and housewife, and in her thirties trained to be a hairstylist in order to supplement her husband's income. Kästner had a particularly close relationship with his mother. While he lived in Leipzig and Berlin, he wrote her fairly intimate daily letters and postcards. His novels, too, seem to be pervaded by overbearing mothers. It was rumored that Erich Kästner's natural father was not Emil Kästner, but rather the Jewish family doctor, Emil Zimmermann (1864-1953). These rumors never were substantiated. Kästner wrote about his childhood in his 1957 autobiography When I Was a Little Boy. According to Kästner, he did not suffer from being an only child, had many friends, and was not lonely or over-indulged. In 1913, Kästner entered a teacher training school in Dresden, but left the school in 1916 shortly before completing the courses that would have qualified him to teach at public schools. The German Empire was in turmoil. In 1914, when he was 15, World War I broke out. He later wro...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
