A reappraising history of the remarkable women who Pablo Picasso shared his life with - whose individual stories and influence on the artist have been overlooked until now

Roe S: Hidden Portraits

Hidden Portraits

The untold stories of six women who loved Picasso

A giant of the political left, Rosa Luxemburg is one of the foremost minds in the canon of revolutionary socialist thought. But she was much more than just a thinker. She made herself heard in a world inimical to the voices of strong-willed women. She overcame physical infirmity and the prejudice she faced as a Jew to become an active revolutionary whose philosophy enriched every corner of an incredibly productive and creative life—her many friendships, her sexual intimacies, and her love of science, nature and art. Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. In this beautifully drawn work of graphic biography, writer and artist Kate Evans has opened up her subject’s intellectual world to a new audience, grounding Luxemburg’s ideas in the realities of an inspirational and deeply affecting life.

Phänomenologie der Bibliothek: Redescriptions

In Narrationen des 19. Jahrhunderts gab es zahlreiche textuelle Repräsentationen der Wunderkammer. Valerie Ahlfeld zeigt anhand von Adalbert Stifters 'Der Nachsommer', Theodor Fontanes 'Vor dem Sturm' und Wilhelm Raabes 'Das Odfeld', wie diese Denkfigur in einer Zeit transformiert wird, in der sich die Sammlungspraxis in Richtung spezialisierter Museen verlagerte. Dabei verknüpft sie literatur- und sammlungswissenschaftliche Perspektiven und verbindet textanalytische Detailarbeit mit kulturhistorischer Kontextualisierung - ein innovativer Beitrag zur Erforschung der Literarisierung vormusealen Sammelns.

Die Geschichte des Kinos ist fundamental von der Ästhetik der Beleuchtung geprägt. In exemplarischen Einzelstudien analysiert Denis Grünemeier das faszinierende Wechselspiel von Licht und Schatten im Film. Dabei zeigt er eindrucksvoll durch die methodische Verknüpfung von Filmwissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Bildtheorie, dass Licht und Schatten über die Technik und Form hinaus wesentlich die Essenz und den Inhalt des Films bestimmen. Neben bekannten Regisseuren wie Kubrick, Murnau und Carlos Reygadas sind es die ausgewählten experimentellen Arbeiten Derek Jarmans und die Animationen der Quay Brothers, die den innovativen Status dieser Studie untermauern.

*AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER* WINNER OF THE POLITIKEN LITERATURE PRIZE 2024 'Brilliantly rewrites the history of economic thought to place 'her story' at its heart. A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS How can we create a better future - one that truly prioritises health and happiness? For too long, economic thinkers have left out 'women's work' and acts of care from their calculations, resulting in terrible real-world consequences today: crumbling public services, struggling schools and care systems on the brink of collapse. In Deficit, prominent Danish thinker Emma Holten reveals how and why this happened, and argues that the things that matter - doing homework with your child, checking in on loved ones, talking to a colleague who doesn't seem well - might seem inconsequential, but are in fact the building blocks of the economy. Urgent and incisive, this is a manifesto for rethinking the economic value of care. 'One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century' - Sofie Hagen

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The first sacred building on the site of today's St. Reinoldi Church in Dortmund was likely erected as early as the 9th century as a Carolingian mission center. Excavations after World War II uncovered the foundations of a 10th-century hall church. The present structure, rebuilt after the war, reflects the 1270 construction in the transitional style from Romanesque to Gothic, with late Gothic additions. Most of the 14th- and 15th-century artworks inside survived the air raids and can still be admired by visitors today. <ul> <li> Historic Landmark: Oldest city church of Dortmund, dating back to the 9th century. </li> <li> Architectural Splendor: Romanesque-Gothic blend with late Gothic additions. </li> <li> Art Treasures: 14th- and 15th-century masterpieces that survived air raids. </li> </ul>

A painter. A priest. One hot New York summer. 'A genuinely swoony summer romance' New York Times 'Brilliant' Raven Leilani 'Stunning' Observer Wyeth is a newcomer to New York, a young Black painter who is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. He shares a studio with his friends and earns money working for a gallery and an art restorer but he's struggling with his portrait painting, unable to truly capture the life of his subjects. Then he meets Keating, a white former priest struggling with his faith. The two men seemingly have nothing in common, and yet Keating shows Wyeth how to see the world anew. But as the men grow closer, the differences between them become more stark, until Wyeth and Keating must decide what they are willing to risk - for art and for love.

'Excellent, meticulously researched biography' - The Guardian 'Katie Prescott's account could hardly be bettered' - Literary Review 'My book of the year' - Martin Vander Weyer, The Spectator 'A highly readable book' - Financial Times Named one of the Times and Sunday Times 'Best Books of 2025' A maverick outsider. An improbable life. An even more improbable death. Discover the real story of Mike Lynch, Britain's enigmatic billionaire. On the morning of 19th August 2024, the Bayesian yacht tragically sank off the coast of Sicily, taking with it the lives of Mike Lynch, his daughter and five others. Hours earlier, Lynch's associate and co-defendant in one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history, Stephen Chamberlain, was hit by a car in Cambridge and killed. The odds of these two deaths occurring together were estimated at four in one billion. Drawing on extensive research and exclusive access to key sources, award-winning Times journalist Katie Prescott forensically explores the life and death of this elusive maverick. Prescott guides us from Lynch's humble beginnings, through his meteoric rise to CEO of Autonomy, and beyond to a vicious legal battle lasting more than a decade following the 2011 sale of Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for more than £11bn. A truly brilliant feat of investigative reporting, this is a tale where nothing is quite as it appears. 'Totally gripping . . . A real-life story that reads like a novel' - Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland 'There is an old saying that most journalists have a bad book in them . . . Katie Prescott isn't one of them. If this was a film script no one would believe it' - Kamal Ahmed, journalist and author of Life and Times of a Very British Man 'A meticulously researched glimpse into the dark side of tech business in the UK . . . Riveting' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy

The Curious Case of Mike Lynch

Passion and Power is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nation's most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today. This sweeping narrative details Harriet's journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the "divorce revolution," and re-fighting old battles over women's rights in today's time of reaction of retrenchment. The frankness with which Harriet relates her own experience is matched by equally candid insights into how a legal system that often rewards bad behavior and irrational decision-making shapes the culture at large and impacts those trying to navigate their way towards a better life. Writing with candor and humor, Harriet describes her encounters with celebrities, mentors, notable judges, allies, and adversaries. She examines many cases but describes three in almost novelistic detail, all drawn from her own practice-including her pivotal role in the "Case of a Lifetime," the focus of the three-part documentary HBO series Nuclear Family (2021). Harriet is equally honest about the business side of the law-the financial cost and psychological burden these proceedings impose on families and the sometimes-heartbreaking collateral damage. Passion and Power illuminates both a singular life and the legal and social revolution that changed, in fundamental ways, the sexual, financial, and cultural norms governing the most intimate relations between men and women.

Arriving from high society England to rural South Africa in the turbulent 1960s, Rosemary Smith is out of her depth. But when faced with the startling reality of her new home, Rosemary joins the Black Sash—the white women-led anti-Apartheid organization of which she would one day become national vice president—thrusting her into the interior workings of a country struggling violently towards democracy.
Pulled from her journals charting decades of justice work, this emotional and engrossing memoir is a reexamination of the ally, a rare insight into South Africa’s democratic transition, and the inspiring true story of a community of women who set a new standard for civic responsibility and quietly changed the landscape of an entire nation.
