“Helmut Krone (1925-96) was a leading seditionary in the Creative Revolution (1954-64) that transformed graphic design and advertising, i.e., his campaigns for Volkswagen & Avis (“We try harder”). The book contains 800 illustrations: Krone’s work, the work which influenced him, and the work his superceded. Relying on primary sources, the book incorporates Krone’s portfolios, notes, and manuscripts; the records at Doyle Dane Bernbach; the contemporary trade press; and nearly 150 interviews with colleagues, competitors, and other seditionaries. The book is conceived as the definitive primer, not only on Krone, but on the arrival of modern advertising art direction; the thinking behind it and the questions which Krone asked himself in order to provoke new meanings from design, typography and photography — methods which continue to stimulate new and relevant solutions today”.

100,00 kr.“Since the dawn of Romanticism, artists and intellectuals in Germany have maintained an abiding interest in the gods and myths of antiquity while calling for a new mythology suitable to the modern age. In this study, George S. Williamson examines the factors that gave rise to this distinct and profound longing for myth. In doing so, he demonstrates the entanglement of aesthetic and philosophical ambitions in Germany with some of the major religious conflicts of the nineteenth century. Through readings of key intellectuals ranging from Herder and Schelling to Wagner and Nietzsche, Williamson highlights three crucial factors in the emergence of the German engagement with myth: the tradition of Philhellenist neohumanism, a critique of contemporary aesthetic and public life as dominated by private interests, and a rejection of the Bible by many Protestant scholars as the product of a foreign, “Oriental” culture. According to Williamson, the discourse on myth in Germany remained bound up with problems of Protestant theology and confessional conflict through the nineteenth century and beyond. – A compelling adventure in intellectual history, this study uncovers the foundations of Germany’s fascination with myth and its enduring cultural legacy”

The Perfection of Wisom -WINNER OF THE 2018 THORNTON WILDER PRIZE FOR TRANSLATION: “A masterful translation of the Diamond Sutra, an essential Zen Buddhist scripture—with insightful commentary and helpful historical context. Zen Buddhism is often said to be a practice of mind–to–mind transmission without reliance on texts—in fact, some great teachers forbid their students to read or write. But Buddhism has also inspired some of the greatest philosophical writings of any religion, and two such works lie at the center of Zen: The Heart Sutra, which monks recite all over the world, and The Diamond Sutra, said to contain answers to all questions of delusion and dualism. This is the Buddhist teaching on the perfection of wisdom and cuts through all obstacles on the path of practice. As Red Pine explains: The Diamond Sutra may look like a book, but it’s really the body of the Buddha. It’s also your body, my body, all possible bodies. But it’s a body with nothing inside and nothing outside. It doesn’t exist in space or time. Nor is it a construct of the mind. It’s no mind. And yet because it’s no mind, it has room for compassion. This book is the offering of no mind, born of compassion for all suffering beings. Of all the sutras that teach this teaching, this is the diamond”
