Born with ocular albinism, small-town eye doctor Sam Hill, who was called Devil Boy in his youth, must finally face a past tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends, his hometown and the life hed always knowna journey that makes him realize what truly matters. From #1 Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls.Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design—especially not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends, his hometown, and the life he’d always known. Running from the pain, eyes closed, served little purpose. Now, as he looks back on his life, Sam embarks on a journey that will take him halfway around the world. This time, his eyes are wide open—bringing into clear view what changed him, defined him, and made him so afraid, until he can finally see what truly matters.

For over two decades, German photographer Thomas Kellner (b.1966) has explored the pictorial possibilities of the contact sheet, drawing particular inspiration from cityscapes, architecture and landscapes. In his new series called Tango Metropolis, he focuses his camera on the worlds most famous monuments. These iconic buildings are well-known, but his deconstructed, fractured images invite the viewer to discover them anew. Rolf Sachsse, a photographer, author, and curator, has contributed an essay for this book that links Kellners work to both mannerism and cubism. Autorid: Thomas Kellner
Thomas Kellner's 34th monograph: the most comprehensive content and artistic treatment of the history of chapel schools that has been published to dateSo this book really has it all. Thomas Kellner's 34th monograph is probably the most comprehensive content and artistic treatment of the history of chapel schools that has been published to date. The book embeds itself in Kellner's cultural-historical Siegerland works. "Thomas Kellner's complex of works invites us to look with extraordinary perspective on architectural details, on the overall form, the dimensional relationships and proportions of the photographic reformulation, interest for the efforts and the importance of the education in rural areas, which is the cultural background, the "humus" of the architectural phenomenon of chapel school." - Andrea Gnam Text in English and German.

A passionate affair set in Venice between a Roman princess searching for undervalued paintings and a mysterious tour guide. Art shenanigans become unavoidable, but the guide's true identity is the mystery that drives the story.Their passion will last three days, long enough to be exposed to unscrupulous art dealers and scammers passing off worthless paintings as part of a famous collection. She goes to cosmopolitan parties given by Venetian social and art glitterati. Mr Silvera, a guide whose erudition and distinction sharply contrast with his beat-up suitcase and stain-spotted raincoat, drags his shabby tourists from monument to monument.Around them are the canals and lagoons of Venice, a city which becomes a character in the novel in its own right. Written with elegance and wit, this is an atypical, sophisticated novel of love, crime and social satire worthy of Fellini's Dolce Vita or Sorrentino's The Great Beauty.The novel does have a mystery at its heart and it concerns the identity of the principal character, apparently a tour guide, but clearly something else as well.

Einhundert Fotos bekannter und wenig bekannter Berliner Orte - stets unbevölkert - zum Verschicken im Postkartenformat. Kaum hat man Berlin je so gesehen. "Ikonographische Bilder aus Berlin kennt man zu Genüge und in verschiedenen Tonalitäten: Sarah Eick gelingt nun das große Kunststück, das auch Urberliner:innen, die sehr viele Fotografien über ihre Heimatstadt gesehen haben, noch Bewunderung abverlangt: ihre Fotos geben zwei fellos Berliner Motive wieder, doch gleichzeitig sind es Werke von einer großen, translokalen, abstraktpoetischen Qualität. Eigentümlich kontextlos, fast wie Ufos, wirken die bekannten Gebäude und Stadtansichten. Ohne jede Form von historisierendem oder nostalgi schem Pathos lässt Eick ihnen eine große Würde zukommen. Selbst eine ImbissBude sieht bei ihr erhaben aus." - Tanja Dückers, Schriftstellerin, Publizistin und Kunsthistorikerin
After the great success of the calendar, a high-quality hardcover postcard book is being published. 100 of the most beautiful flower photos unfold their full glory on the black surface. Taking inspiration from photographic pioneers such as Karl Blossfeldt and snowflakes photographer Wilson Bentley, as well as Japanese floral artist Makoto Azuma, Andy Warhol or even Pedro Almodóvar, this calendar is based on over 10,000 stunning floral close-ups. The photos remind us that while beauty is primarily something natural, it also has a fleeting quality. They reveal rarely noticed details that are full of architectu- ral sophistication and filigree splendor. Each shot is a striking piece of art.
In October 1896, a squadron of "Deutsche Schutztruppe" forces erected a camp on Mount Meru, near to the mission station that King Matunda was having built. A night battle between local people and the German forces resulted in the deaths of at least three civilians who worked for the mission station (Karava, Mrio, Kalami) and two Eastern European Leipzig Mission missionaries, Ewald Ovir and Karl Segebrock. The deaths of Ovir and Segebrock were then used as an excuse by the "Deutsche Schutztruppe" to brutally attack the Wameru and Ilarusa people. 2021 Leipzig Mission commemorated the 125th year of the so called "Akeri killings" with an international online symposium. This publication documents the presentations.
