'I asked him how much it would take for him to sell FTX and go do something other than make money. He thought the question over. "One hundred and fifty billion dollars," he finally said-though he added that he had use for "infinity dollars"...'Sam Bankman-Fried wasn't just rich. Before he turned thirty he'd become the world's youngest billionaire, making a record fortune in the crypto frenzy. CEOs, celebrities and world leaders vied for his time. At one point he considered paying off the entire national debt of the Bahamas so he could take his business there.Then it all fell apart.Who was this Gatsby of the crypto world, a rumpled guy in cargo shorts, whose eyes twitched across TV interviews as he played video games on the side, who even his million-dollar investors still found a mystery? What gave him such an extraordinary ability to make money - and how did his empire collapse so spectacularly?Michael Lewis was there when it happened, having got to know Bankman-Fried during his epic rise. In Going Infinite he tells us a story like no other, taking us through the mind-bending trajectory of a character who never liked the rules and was allowed to live by his own. Both psychological portrait of a preternaturally gifted 'thinking machine', and wild financial roller-coaster ride, this is a twenty-first-century epic of high-frequency trading and even higher stakes, of crypto mania and insane amounts of money, of hubris and downfall. No one could tell it better.
Schon die Gründung des Bauhauses im Jahr 1919 glich einem gewaltigen Paukenschlag: Walter Gropius, Gründer der Kunstschule, beabsichtigte nichts Geringeres als die Grenzen zwischen Handwerk, Kunst und Technik aufzulösen. Was als Experiment begann, revolutionierte schon bald das Verständnis von Architektur, Kunst und Design. Gropius setzte seine ehrgeizige Vision mithilfe innovativer Künstler um, die er als Lehrer ans Bauhaus berief. Inspiriert vom avantgardistischen Geist der Schule, entwickelten sie neue künstlerische Ansätze und begründeten gemeinsam den Mythos Bauhaus. Autor Boris Friedewald erzählt die komplexe Geschichte dieser Kunstschule auf unterhaltsame und verständliche Weise. Zahlreiche historische und zum Teil erstmals publizierte Abbildungen machen die Menschen und Orte des Bauhauses lebendig. Ein abschließender Blick auf die weitreichende Wirkung des Bauhauses bis in die heutige Zeit hinein rundet das Buch ab.§§

Belzeba est la fille de Satan et d'une mortelle. Éduquée par le Maître des Enfers et ses diablesses, elle est chargée de mettre un terme à la chasse aux sorcières qu'entreprend Kant, le souverain de Norvège…Parmi les héroïnes de bande dessinée sexy italienne qui peuplaient les rêves des lecteurs dans les années soixante-dix, il y avait Belzeba, dessinée par le génial Stelio Fenzo et écrit par le malicieux Paolo Trivellato. Tous deux se sont rendus célèbres en France avec Jungla « la Vierge africaine », une jolie tarzane qui protège la faune et les bons sauvages africains de la cupidité de méchants Blancs, mais bizarrement leur Belzeba n'est pas parue en France. Pire, une Belzeba blonde, produit par Sandro Angiolini apparue sur les étals des maisons de la presse en 1977…Publiée en Italie dès 1972, Belzeba, l'originale, est devenue un mythe introuvable. Malgré la censure ferme de l'époque, Fenzo a su avec finesse jouer au chat et à la souris avec la commission pour produire une BD sexy au trait raffiné. Un superbe album culte destiné aux férus de bandes dessinées italiennes comme aux collectionneurs avertis.

A stunning fully illustrated cookbook with recipes celebrating nature, seasons and the land by Great British Menu winner and Michelin star chef Tommy Banks
When people think about Marlon Brando, they think of the movie star, the hunk, the scandals. In Brando s Smile, Susan L. Mizruchi reveals the Brando others have missed: the man who collected four thousand books; the man who rewrote scripts, trimming his lines to make them sharper; the man who consciously used his body and employed the objects around him to create believable characters; the man who loved Emily Dickinson s poetry. To write this biography, Mizruchi gained unprecedented access to a vast number of annotated books from Brando s library, hand-edited copies of screenplays, private letters, and recorded interviews that have never before been quoted in a biography. Original interviews with some of the still-living players from Brando s life, including Ellen Adler, his one-time girlfriend and the daughter of his acting teacher Stella Adler, provide even deeper insight into the complex person whose intelligence belied the high-school dropout. Mizruchi shows how Brando s embrace of foreign cultures and social outsiders led to his brilliant performances in unusual roles a gay man, an Asian, a German soldier to test himself and to foster empathy on a global scale. We also meet the political Brando: the civil rights activist, the close friend of James Baldwin, the actor who declined his Oscar to support Indian rights. More than seventy stunning and many rare photographs of Marlon Brando illuminate this portrait of the man who has left an astounding cultural legacy."
