Die eindrucksvollsten Fotografien aus der Fotosammlung von Sir Elton John und David Furnish Im Laufe der letzten drei Jahrzehnte haben Sir Elton John und David Furnish eine der größten Sammlungen moderner und zeitgenössischer Fotografie aufgebaut. Sie ist bemerkenswert umfangreich und tiefgründig und umfasst das "Who is Who" der Fotografen und Aufnahmen aus den Bereichen Mode, Film, Landschaft und Reportage. Dieser Bildband präsentiert 150 der wichtigsten Fotografien von 1950 bis heute von legendären Künstlern wie Diane Arbus, Richard Avedon, Nan Goldin, David LaChapelle, Robert Mapplethorpe, Zanele Muholi, Helmut Newton, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol und Ai Weiwei. Fragile Beauty zeigt Bilder, die schön, dynamisch, eindrucksvoll, manchmal verstörend, todernst, aber immer inspirierend sind. Neben Porträts beispielsweise von Schauspielerin Marilyn Monroe oder den Jazzmusikern Miles Davis und Chet Baker beleuchten die Fotografien auch Schlüsselmomente der Bürgerrechtsbewegung der 1960er, des Aids-Aktivismus der 80er und der Ereignisse des 11. September 2001. Ein ausführliches Interview mit Sir Elton John und David Furnish sowie kuratorische Einblicke in die Themen der Sammlung lassen Leser:innen voll und ganz in die unvergleichlichen Fotografien eintauchen. Ein einmaliger Bildband, der die ikonischsten Fotografen der letzten 70 Jahre versammelt und die Geschichte der modernen und zeitgenössischen Fotografie zum Leben erweckt.

The Baital-Pachisi, also known as The Twenty-Five Tales of a Demon, is a collection of Indian folktales compiled by Duncan Forbes in 1862. The book revolves around the story of King Vikramaditya, who is tasked with capturing a demon named Baital. The demon, however, tells the king a story with a moral dilemma at the end of each tale, forcing the king to answer a question related to the story. If the king answers correctly, the demon is captured, but if he answers incorrectly, the demon escapes. The book contains a total of twenty-five tales, each with its own unique plot and moral lesson. The stories range from tales of love and betrayal to stories of greed and deceit. The book provides a fascinating insight into Indian folklore and mythology, as well as the cultural values and beliefs of the time. Overall, The Baital-Pachisi is a captivating read, full of suspense, intrigue, and moral lessons. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian literature and folklore, as well as those who enjoy tales of adventure and mystery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This is a study of Hume's political thought based on a survey of all his writings and is presented in its historical context as an innovative, 'philosophical', empirically based system of politics for a radical post-revolutionary age, and a political education for parochial, backward-looking party men.

This essay treats of the revolutionary change in historical writing that followed the entry into England, early in the nineteenth century, of the ideas of Vico and of the German historical school. Mr. Forbes is particularly concerned with the part played by the liberal Anglicans, whose idea of History as a whole has hitherto lacked an English historian.
