Erstmals werden hier die originalen Collagen des Bildromans in Farbe veröffentlicht. "Une semaine de bonté ou les sept elements capitaux" stellt einen Höhepunkt im Oeuvre von Max Ernst (1891-1976) dar. Mit 182 Bildern ist dieser 1934 in Paris erschienene Collagenroman der umfangreichste und aufwändigste seiner Bildromane. Für die Herstellung der Collagen verwendete Max Ernst Bildmaterial des 19. Jahrhunderts, darunter Holzstichmotive aus populären Romanen, Zeitschriften und Verkaufskatalogen.
Mit dieser erstmaligen Veröffentlichung der Originalcollagen lässt sich sein Collageverfahren nachvollziehen und die faszinierenden Bildfindungen genauer lesen.
Im Gegensatz zu ihrem Titel thematisieren diese Collagenfolgen mit Anspielungen auf die Schöpfungsgeschichte Macht, Gewalt, Folter, Mord, das Verhältnis der Geschlechter, bürgerliche Dramen und die Ödipus-Sage.
Rund siebzig Jahre nach ihrer Entstehung ist die Aktualität von "Une semaine de bonté" ungebrochen. Hier verdichtet sich in herausragender Weise die künstlerische Devise von Max Ernst, "Aggressivität" und "Erhebung" beim Betrachter auszulösen. Seine spezifische künstlerische Instrumentierung der populären Bilderflut, die Provokation visionärer Welten und die Herausforderung der Fantasie des Betrachters bleiben ebenso faszinierend wie aktuell.
BLOWS ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS OUT OF THE WATER...A GAME-CHANGER. - Caitlin Moran
POWERFUL BOOK OFFERS STRATEGIES FOR INTERVENTION THAT WOULD SAVE LIVES - The Independent
A woman is killed by her partner or ex-partner every four days in the UK.
Domestic homicide is a pandemic so pervasive that the soaring figures cause weary resignation rather than alarm. For thirty years, Professor Jane Monckton Smith has been fighting to change this. A former police officer and internationally renowned professor of public protection, she lectures on sexualised and fatal violence; works with families bereaved through homicide: and trains police and other professionals on how to best handle cases involving coercive control, domestic abuse, and stalking.
Killers do not snap and lose control
Her ground-breaking research led to the creation of the eight-stage homicide timeline, laying out identifiable stages in which coercive relationships can escalate to murder and revolutionising our understanding of them.
There are signs, if you know how to see them
In this book, Monckton Smith shares a glimpse into a world of toxic masculinity and coercive control, one in which the tools are shame and fear, helped along by a media and justice system who are far from shedding sexist notions of men and women's roles in society.
Drawing on disciplines including psychology, sociology and law, she talks to victims, their families, and killers, putting together pieces to the puzzle of how these relationships can end in murder, and bringing to light the reasons why - for so many of us - there is no such thing as the safety of one's own home.

Deeply rooted in the classics of Oriental medicine, the ancient Korean art of Sasang medicine explains how we each are born with a specific body "type" that establishes our physical and emotional strengths and weaknesses. These traits have a direct influence on how we interact with others and react to stress, trauma, and illness. Discovering your type can empower you to make the best choices regarding your health and well-being.
In this book, Dr. Gary Wagman explores the 4 major body types of Sasang medicine and 2 different self-tests to determine your type. He explains the balance of Yin and Yang energy within the organs for each type and how this underlies your emotional tendencies and health patterns. With a strong spleen and weaker kidneys, for example, the Yang type A person will be inclined to anger and susceptible to urinary complaints. Offering stories from his Sasang medical practice, as well as his own healing, the author shows how organ excesses and deficiencies are often the culprit in emotional and psychological issues and how addressing these energetic imbalances can bring about lasting change.
Dr. Wagman provides an extensive look at the most beneficial foods for each type and those that could be harmful, as well as which forms of exercise are most effective. He shows which herbs are most compatible for you and which could exacerbate your inborn energetic imbalances. He offers Sasang approaches for a range of common conditions, from high blood pressure, aching joints, and allergies to common colds, inadequate sleep, and weight gain. He also introduces ways to enhance spiritual well-being by balancing your innate emotional strengths and weaknesses. Addressing the body, mind, and spirit, discovering your Yin Yang body type provides the key to optimizing physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
The #1 New York Times bestselling follow-up to Eat Pray Love-an intimate and erudite celebration of love from the author of Big Magic and City of Girls.
At the end of her bestselling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert fell in love with Felipe, a Brazilian-born man of Australian citizenship who'd been living in Indonesia when they met. Resettling in America, the couple swore eternal fidelity to each other, but also swore to never, ever, under any circumstances get legally married. (Both were survivors of previous bad divorces. Enough said.) But providence intervened one day in the form of the United States government, which-after unexpectedly detaining Felipe at an American border crossing-gave the couple a choice: they could either get married, or Felipe would never be allowed to enter the country again. Having been effectively sentenced to wed, Gilbert tackled her fears of marriage by delving into this topic completely, trying with all her might to discover through historical research, interviews, and much personal reflection what this stubbornly enduring old institution actually is. Told with Gilbert's trademark wit, intelligence and compassion, Committed attempts to "turn on all the lights" when it comes to matrimony, frankly examining questions of compatibility, infatuation, fidelity, family tradition, social expectations, divorce risks and humbling responsibilities. Gilbert's memoir is ultimately a clear-eyed celebration of love with all the complexity and consequence that real love, in the real world, actually entails.
