Paul Smith

    23 luglio 1957

    Originario dell'Inghilterra, Paul emigrò in Germania negli anni '70, diventando consulente per numerose grandi aziende tedesche. Questo viaggio transatlantico ha plasmato profondamente la sua voce letteraria, creando un mix linguistico unico in cui inglese e tedesco conversano attivamente. La sua scrittura esplora lo spazio affascinante in cui culture e lingue si intersecano, esaminando le sfumature di identità ed espressione che emergono da tali incontri. I lettori possono aspettarsi narrazioni ricche della trama dell'esperienza biculturale e dell'innovazione linguistica.

    • OPOWIEŚĆ O NAJPIĘKNIEJSZEJ PRZYGODZIE LUDZKOŚCI Jest rok 1961. Szczytowy okres zimnej wojny. 12 kwietnia o godzinie 09:07 młody Rosjanin siedzi w maleńkiej kapsule na szczycie najpotężniejszego międzykontynentalnego pocisku balistycznego Związku Radzieckiego i wystrzeliwuje w przestworza. Nazywa się Jurij Gagarin i zamierza na trwale zapisać się w historii. Podróżując z prędkością prawie dziesięć razy większą niż pocisk z karabinu, okrąża kulę ziemską w zaledwie 106 minut. Ze swoich okien widzi Ziemię jak nikt inny – przemierza zachód i wschód słońca, oceany i kontynenty, doświadcza jej piękna i kruchości. Mimo że jego start był utajniony, w ciągu kilku godzin od wylądowania stał się światową gwiazdą – pierwszym człowiekiem, który opuścił naszą planetę. „Kosmiczny wyścig” opowiada ekscytującą historię tego niesamowitego lotu. Obydwa supermocarstwa podjęły ogromne ryzyko, aby jako pierwsze wysłać człowieka w kosmos. Amerykanie w pełnym blasku mediów, Sowieci w zupełnej tajemnicy. Opierając się na szeroko zakrojonych oryginalnych badaniach i żywych zeznaniach naocznych świadków, z których wielu nigdy wcześniej o tym nie rozmawiało, Stephen Walker ujawnia skrywane przez dziesięciolecia tajniki i zabiera czytelnika w jedną z największych przygód ludzkości.

      Die faszinierende Geschichte vom ersten Flug in den Weltraum

      »Brillant geschrieben, atemberaubend spannend und unglaublich gut recherchiert.« The Sunday Times Als Jurij Gagarin 1961 als erster Mensch ins All flog, hatte er nicht nur die Schwerkraft, sondern auch den Eisernen Vorhang überwunden, der auf der Erde den Kommunismus vom Kapitalismus trennte. Die USA befanden sich nach diesem Coup in wilder Panik, die Sowjetunion triumphierte. Basierend auf neuen Quellen erzählt dieses packende Buch vom aberwitzigen »Race to Space« der Supermächte: vom mörderischen Training der Kosmonauten, von Hunden und Schimpansen in Raketen, Bomben im Cockpit, dilettantischer Technik und der Angst der Kommunisten, im All am Ende auf Gott zu treffen. „Stephen Walker hat es geschafft, die unglaubliche Reise meines Vaters nacherlebbar zu machen!“ – Jelena Gagarina, Tochter von Jurij Gagarin „Fesselnd, faszinierend und unglaublich gut recherchiert.

    • "Y Tu Mamá También (2001), an intelligent and sensual road movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón and co-written by him and his brother Carlos, is both an acclaimed feature by a director who would go on to win Oscars and a box office success abroad and in its native Mexico, where it was the biggest grossing local film of all time. Its teenage protagonists Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna went on to be major stars of global cinema. Yet on its release the film was vilified by established Mexican critics as a coarse comedy and 'Penthouse fantasy' of youthful lust for an older woman. Paul Julian Smith's lucid study of the film argues that Y Tu Mamá También not only addresses with playful seriousness such major issues as gender, race, class, and space, which are yet more urgent now than they were on its release; but that the film's apparently casual aesthetic masks a sophisticated audiovisual style, one which brings together popular genre film and auteurist experiment. Smith suggests Y Tu Mamá También remains an example for world cinema of how a very local film can connect with a global audience that is ignorant of such niceties. Combining production and distribution history, based on unexplored material held in Mexico City archives, with close textual analysis, Smith makes an argument for Cuarón's film as an enduring masterpiece that hides in plain sight as an ephemeral teen movie."-- Back cover

      Der Mode-Designer Paul Smith erzählt in seinem Erstlingswerk von seinen liebsten Mitarbeitern. Er berichtet, wie sich die Kuscheltiere Moose und Mr. Brown kennengelernt haben. Die beiden ziehen um die Welt, immer auf der Suche nach neuen Tieren, die sie mit Mustern und Materialien einkleiden können. Währenddessen suchen sie auch nach Moose verlorenem Zwillingsbruder und Mr. Brown lässt ihn final als Überraschungsgast einer Modenschau auftreten. Einleitend spricht der Designer eine Doppelseite lang über die folgende Geschichte und diese Überfrachtung macht sich auch im weiteren Buch etwas bemerkbar. Bei den überbordenden Details von Sam Usher (zuletzt "Sturm") kann man sich hingegen kaum sattsehen und die bildnerischen Stärken kommen voll zur Geltung. Während das Cover noch recht verhalten bleibt, mit den Protagonisten auf orangenem Grund, zeigen sich schnell der Witz und die Kunstfertigkeit des Illustrators. Ein etwas hochpreisigerer Titel zu einem selten im Bilderbuch zu findenden Thema, das nicht optimal, aber doch sehr stark umgesetzt wurde

      British photographer Martin Parr is known for creating fiction out of reality through his satirical images of the wealthy. His work, "Luxury," serves as a commentary on conspicuous consumption, showcasing candid moments from the international party circuit, including champagne lunches, horse races, and high-profile fairs in Moscow, Dubai, and Beijing. This series, consisting of 35 pieces created between 2003 and 2009, is part of the touring exhibition Parrworld. Parr adeptly documents the trends and social norms of the bourgeoisie—featuring diamond-encrusted jewelry, purebred puppies, racecars, and excess food and drink—while highlighting the cliche-laden tedium of wealth. His unique perspective likens him to a housefly, buzzing around the affluent, capturing their lives in a vivid, exaggerated manner. Critic Neal Brown describes this style as landing on the edges of plates and viewing the world as a grotesquely colorful feast. Exquisitely designed, this volume features a padded, gilt-foiled mock-leather cover, making it a fitting memento of a pre-bubble era. An introduction by renowned fashion designer Paul Smith, a fan of Parr, adds further insight into the work.

      Cezanne is often called the first modern painter. But how did he arrive at his way of seeing the world, and what was he aiming to express in his art? Critics, art historians and biographers have all devised theories that attempt to explain the style and content of Cezanne's paintings. Yet Cezanne himself was wary of others misinterpreting his work according to their own agendas.

      Auch Smith geht, wie vor ihm Paul O. Schulz ("Französische Impressionisten":BA 7/95), den Gründen für die anhaltende Popularität des französischenImpressionismus nach. Unter Einbeziehung der politischen, gesellschaftlichen undkulturellen Zusammenhänge und neuer kunsthistorischer Betrachtungsweisenuntersucht er die Malerei Manets, Monets, Pissarros, Cezannes, Berthe Morisotsund Mary Cassatts und macht deutlich, daß dem skizzenhaften Festhalten desersten, von Wissen und Information unbeeinflußten Eindrucks intensives Lernenvon Techniken vorausging und gründliches Nacharbeiten im Atelier folgte. Wegendes informativen Textes, auf dem der Schwerpunkt liegt, ideal neben dem o.a.Titel, der bessere Abbildungen enthält. (2 S)
