Prima edizione firmata su talloncino rilegato in fondo al volume Signed edition includes a slip signed by the artist and bound into the inside back cover. <em>Nel corso di più"; di tre decenni <strong>Gerry Johansson</strong> ha portato il suo occhio acuto e sensibile sui paesaggi periferici di tutto il mondo da Ulan Bator all'Antartide. <strong>Spanish Summer</strong> lo vede tornare in uno dei primi luoghi che hanno catturato la sua immaginazione: le <strong>pianure della Spagna centrale</strong>. La cappella è rimasta impressa nella memoria di Johansson e decenni dopo lo ha portato a tornare e a riscoprire il patrimonio architettonico il significato religioso e la bellezza del paese. Con queste immagini viene condotta un'indagine su un paesaggio in cui si sono sedimentate migliaia di anni di tracce culturali. L'accurata composizione di Johansson e le delicate tonalità" in bianco e nero rivelano un territorio in transizione in cui i fili del telefono trascendono gli antichi crocifissi l'intonaco moderno incontra la pietra consumata dal tempo e le ombre dei megaliti industriali si allungano alla cieca sulla polvere.</em> Mack, hardcover

Fine/Fine. 1st edition 1st printing ; xviii 494 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm ; ISBN: 0525937633; 9780525937630; 0452271576; 9780452271579; National Library: 014851640 LCCN: 93-39638 ; OCLC: 29184646 ; "A William Abrahams book."/ Includes bibliographical references pages 475-478 and index ; "Though Oscar Wilde's legendary life and his extraordinary art are both intimately and unmistakably linked to his homosexuality no Wilde biographer has ever really explored the full implications of his gay identity - until now. Gary Schmidgall's is a true post-Stonewall performance the first book to assert frankly that Wilde's sexual orientation is the key to his literary accomplishments and his enduring appeal. The Stranger Wilde sidesteps standard chronological biography to provide a brilliant portrait drawn from Wilde's own writings and the observations of his contemporaries and later critics set against the backdrop of Victorian convention which was to undo him in the end. Here is Wilde in all his many guises: as flamboyant Oxford undergraduate as aesthete in America as son and brother as husband and father as lover and seducer of young men. Here is the celebrated author of The Importance of Being Earnest and The Picture of Dorian Gray and the outrageous figure who went deliberately defiantly to ruin and imprisonment. Even confirmed Wilde connoisseurs will find this book full of surprises. And for those who know him only as a writer of scathing wit and scandalous appeal this dazzling biography will introduce a complex paradoxical artist of genius whose legend pales beside the provocative and fascinating truth." ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Dutton, 1994 hardcover
