    Ai Weiwei's Blog

    Ai Weiwei's Blog

    Engels. Paperback, in zeer goede staat

    Manifestos and immodest proposals from China's most famous artist and activist, culled from his popular blog, shut down by Chinese authorities in 2009.

    In 2006, even though he could barely type, China's most famous artist started blogging. For more than three years, Ai Weiwei turned out a steady stream of scathing social commentary, criticism of government policy, thoughts on art and architecture, and autobiographical writings. He wrote about the Sichuan earthquake (and posted a list of the schoolchildren who died because of the government's “tofu-dregs engineering”), reminisced about Andy Warhol and the East Village art scene, described the irony of being investigated for “fraud” by the Ministry of Public Security, made a modest proposal for tax collection. Then, on June 1, 2009, Chinese authorities shut down the blog. This book offers a collection of Ai's notorious online writings translated into English—the most complete, public documentation of the original Chinese blog available in any language.

    The New York Times called Ai “a figure of Warholian celebrity.” He is a leading figure on the international art scene, a regular in museums and biennials, but in China he is a manifold and controversial presence: artist, architect, curator, social critic, justice-seeker. He was a consultant on the design of the famous “Bird's Nest” stadium but called for an Olympic boycott; he received a Chinese Contemporary Art “lifetime achievement award” in 2008 but was beaten by the police in connection with his “citizen investigation” of earthquake casualties in 2009. Ai Weiwei's Blog documents Ai's passion, his genius, his hubris, his righteous anger, and his vision for China.

    Adolf Hitler. De beeldbiografie

    Hardcover 30 x 25 cm, al nieuw

    Adolf Hitler. De beeldbiografie' geeft een fascinerend en indringend beeld van de opkomst en ondergang van de dictator en de prominente rol van foto's bij het creëren van de Führermythe. Het naziregime maakte op geraffineerde wijze gebruik van beeldmateriaal om Hitlers populariteit te vergroten. Een stortvloed aan propagandafoto's versterkte zijn zorgvuldig opgebouwde imago. Niet alleen professionele fotografen zetten de toon, maar ook amateurfotografen legden de charismatische Führer vast.0De foto's in dit boek laten zien hoe Hitler van een onbeholpen, maar fanatieke nationaalsocialist transformeerde in een nietsontziende en oorlogszuchtige alleenheerser en uiteindelijk uitgebluste oorlogsleider aan het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Van het zorgvuldig gecreëerde Führerbeeld bleef ten slotte niets over.0Historici Erik Somers en René Kok deden uitvoerig onderzoek in Duitse en internationale fotoarchieven en -collecties. Niet eerder verscheen een zo veelomvattend fotoboek over Hitlers leven en werk gebaseerd op diepgaand foto-historisch onderzoek. Ruim 450 foto's voorzien van uitvoerige bijschriften, plaatsen het fenomeen Hitler in historische context. Op elke afbeelding staat hij centraal of is er een direct verband met zijn persoon. Pers- en propagandafoto's worden afgewisseld door privé- en niet voor publicatie bestemde opnames die - al dan niet bewust - de mens achter de Führer in beeld brengen.

    The Vanquished

    The Vanquished

    Engel. Gebonden met omslag, als nieuw

    An epic, groundbreaking account of the ethnic and state violence that followed the end of World War I--conflicts that would shape the course of the twentieth century. For the Western allies, November 11, 1918 has always been a solemn date--the end of fighting that had destroyed a generation, but also a vindication of a terrible sacrifice with the total collapse of the principal enemies: the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. But for much of the rest of Europe this was a day with no meaning, as a continuing, nightmarish series of conflicts engulfed country after country. In The Vanquished, a highly original and gripping work of history, Robert Gerwarth asks us to think again about the true legacy of the First World War. In large part it was not the fighting on the Western Front that proved so ruinous to Europe's future, but the devastating aftermath, as countries on both sides of the original conflict were savaged by revolutions, pogroms, mass expulsions, and further major military clashes. If the war itself had in most places been a struggle mainly between state-backed soldiers, these new conflicts were predominantly perpetrated by civilians and paramilitaries, and driven by a murderous sense of injustice projected on to enemies real and imaginary. In the years immediately after he armistice, millions would die across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe before the Soviet Union and a series of rickety and exhausted small new states would come into being. It was here, in the ruins of Europe, that extreme ideologies such as fascism would take shape and ultimately emerge triumphant in Italy, Germany, and elsewhere. As absorbing in its drama as it is unsettling in its analysis, The Vanquished is destined to transform our understanding of not just the First World War but of the twentieth century as a whole

    Strangers in Their Own Land

    Engelstalig gebonden boek met stofomslag in zeer goede staat. 

    The National Book Award Finalist and New York Times bestseller that became a guide and balm for a country struggling to understand the election of Donald Trump

    "A generous but disconcerting look at the Tea Party. . . . This is a smart, respectful and compelling book."
    --Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review

    When Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a bewildered nation turned to Strangers in Their Own Land to understand what Trump voters were thinking when they cast their ballots. Arlie Hochschild, one of the most influential sociologists of her generation, had spent the preceding five years immersed in the community around Lake Charles, Louisiana, a Tea Party stronghold. As Jedediah Purdy put it in the New Republic, "Hochschild is fascinated by how people make sense of their lives. . . . [Her] attentive, detailed portraits . . . reveal a gulf between Hochchild's 'strangers in their own land' and a new elite." Already a favorite common read book in communities and on campuses across the country and called "humble and important" by David Brooks and "masterly" by Atul Gawande, Hochschild's book has been lauded by Noam Chomsky, New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, and countless others.

    The paperback edition features a new afterword by the author reflecting on the election of Donald Trump and the other events that have unfolded both in Louisiana and around the country since the hardcover edition was published, and also includes a readers' group guide at the back of the book.
