Ein großer Künstler der Illustration setzt sich in seiner ersten Graphic Novel mit einem der großen Genies des Schriftstellertums auseinander: Seymour Chwast adaptiert Dante Alighieris Göttliche Komödie! In seiner originellen, in moderne Sprache übertragenen Kurzfassung des Klassikers jagt uns Seymour Chwast erst durch die Hölle, dann ins Fegefeuer und schließlich ins Paradies. Die Reise, die zu Luzifer und Gott führt, beginnt an der Hand von Dante, dargestellt als pfeiferauchender Detektiv aus einem Film noir, und Vergil, einem Briten mit Bowler, der später von der Hollywood-Blondine Beatrice abgelöst wird. Mit viel Humor und eigenwilligen Schwarz-Weiß-Zeichnungen lässt Chwast die wunderbare Verserzählung zu neuem Leben erwachen.

With enticing visuals and a fascinating text, Japanese Modern: Graphic Design between the Wars is the first book to examine an often ignored period of Japanese graphic design. From the late 1920s to the mid-1930s, Japan was a burgeoning industrial state with a growing consumer culture that relied increasingly on commercial art to promote and sell its products. While adhering to its own distinctive artistic traditions, Japanese graphic design was nevertheless heavily influenced by Western styles, trends, and fashions - the most influential being art moderne, or art deco. Japanese graphic designers and art directors drew inspiration from Europe's master poster artists and typographers - particularly those in France and Germany. They also imported and assimilated elements of Bauhaus, constructivism, and futurism, and applied them to a variety of media, including posters, packages, brochures, advertisements, and magazines. Art moderne is perhaps best illustrated in the scores of department store posters produced during this time, while hybrids are seen in the ubiquitous collections of period matchbox labels. Tracing the introduction of this Western-influenced style through its most compelling movements and leading practitioners, this strikingly illustrated book presents a scintillating look at modern Japanese graphic design.

Il singolare "caso" del dottor Jekyll e del suo doppio, il signor Hyde, diventa teatro di uno spietato confronto tra istinto e ragione, tra le esigenze della virtù e le pulsioni più oscure e ribelli che albergano ne] cuore dell'uomo. Scritto in maniera lucida ed essenziale, divenuto ormai un classico dell'horror per il clima di mistero e di terrore in cui si svolge la vicenda, questo racconto ha pagine di alta potenza suggestiva, che uniscono al brivido e alla suspense lo spirito austero e ferrigno dei sermoni.
