«Carré's Photographs are simultaneously totally explicit and totally beautiful - NOW IN SPECIAL PAPERBACK EDITIONREVISED AND ENLARGED!»«This is a literally breathtaking collection of nude photographs by perfectionist French photo- grapher Didier Carré. I had given up hope of finding such images, disappointed by the coyness of nude art photography on the one hand and the wearying over-stimulation of pornography on the other. Carré's photographs are simultaneously totally explicit and totally beautiful. His models have a stillness that says we taken a great deal of care and time to produce these images: take your own time to explore them. Carré demonstrates the power of black and white photography to reveal the true form of flesh and muscle in light and shade. The models are rarely adorned, apart from, in many cases, one, sometimes two, glas dildos that catch the light like a jewel, focusing your attention on their inner centre ...» - Dermot Cox «True erotic photography is never finished; it stimulates the imagination about what could happen later."» - Didier Carré

The first novel in an eerie, darkly creative, and romantic new gothic fantasy duology from Maxym M. Martineau, for readers of Sarah J. Maas and Rachel Gillig.Edira Brillwyn is a threadmender. She holds a rare, lifesaving power that can cure disease and heal injuries in the blink of an eye. But magic always comes with a cost, and saving anyone sacrifices a sliver of her own life. She's always kept her abilities hidden...until the powerful Fernglove family discovers her secret.The Ferngloves are charming and beautiful, possess powerful magic, and don't take no for an answer-especially Orin, the head of these ruling elites. When Edira's brothers unexpectedly contract blight-an incurable virus killing people throughout the town, and an illness too strong for her to heal them both-Orin offers to help. Together at his estate they'll research a cure while Orin slows their sickness and Edira hones her magic. His kindness and honesty surprises Edira, as does her undeniable attraction to him.But the other Ferngloves are suspicious of her power and may be more dangerous than the ever-present disease. The longer Edira stays within the confines of the Manor, the more the family's pristine exterior begins to crack-until Edira discovers a terrifying secret and must choose who she can save and at what cost...

Discover the wonderfully eerie supernatural beings of Japanese lore in this magnificent hardcover edition which features an elegant silk coating as well as coloured edges and closing straps. Yo¯kai ghosts are a significant aspect of Japanese culture. In turns terrifying, playful and mischievous, they can take the form of malevolent spirits, seeking a place in the afterlife, or shapeshifters tricking humans with wisdom and sometimes cruelty.This unique book includes 150 striking images by Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro and others, that capture the essence of yo¯kai folklore with stunning detail and evocative imagery. Filled with colored reproductions, each of the book’s chapters focuses on a specific spirit or type. There’s the specter of Oiwa, her face distorted by poison, as depicted by Hokusai; Toyohara Kunichika’s haunting interpretation of Okiku, a tragic ghost with a tale of betrayal and revenge; and Yoshitoshi’s dramatic image of a samurai bravely confronting a hideous ghost.Throughout the book, readers will discover how the intricate details of woodblock prints allowed artists to exaggerate features and create dramatic effects that enhanced the portrayal of yo¯kai. These prints also reveal aspects of daily life, folklore, and spiritual beliefs of the period, offering a window into Japan’s history and pointing to the origins of manga, horror films, and literature. Fans of Japanese folklore, supernatural art, and anime enthusiasts alike will delight in this beautiful edition that features a special Japanese binding, coloured edges and closing straps.

Scriabin's early Etudes op. 8 are at the heart of virtuoso piano repertoire, their methodical and pedagogical intent clearly visible. However, they are also 12 character pieces, revealing Scriabin's whole creative universe from the dreamy and poetic to the powerful and passionate. The composer did not, however, make things easy for Belaieff, his publisher: final delivery of the long-promised Etudes (for which he had received an advance) was protracted because Scriabin was continually making revisions. "You are annoyed with me - completely justifiably, although I deserve some leniency as I am, in the truest sense of the word, working on them the whole day through". His efforts were worth it! For Henle's Urtext edition, Scriabin researcher Valentina Rubcova draws upon the composer's own second revised version of the first printing, making detailed comparison with the surviving autograph. World-renowned pianist Boris Giltburg provides the fingering.
