They have little to do with the standard procreative urge, Mr. Crumb admits. He has also said he finds nothing more boring than someone else’s sexual obsessions, and yet through his long career, the world’s most famous underground cartoonist has felt compelled to include his own sex fantasies in his art. He explains it as a compulsive catharsis, while fans call R. Crumb’s erotic fantasies the Master at his best.

Now Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single-page drawings to create a 258-page encyclopedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between 1980 and 2006, and all strips are hand-coloured for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books. In total the book features 14 complete stories, including My Troubles With Women, If I Were a King, A Bitchin’ Bod, and How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl, as well as 60 single-page drawings.

The artist admits it’s a little scary to see his most fevered obsessions collected end to end like this, but fans will find Robert Crumb’s Sex Obsessions a fascinating peek inside an often tortured, always brilliantly talented mind, as well as an unparalleled collector’s item.

Усі дороги ведуть до Риму, і всі дороги у самому Вічному місті ведуть до смачної їжі. У Римі Кеті та Джанкарло розкопують приховані перлини міста – рецепти, яким багато століть, а також нові, захопливі страви, натхненні римлянами з усіх верств суспільства.

Дует представляє свої інтерпретації класичних страв, таких як Качо е Пепе від Кеті (паста з гострим сиром та перцем), а також улюблені сімейні страви, такі як Спігола ін Сальтімбокка (морський окунь з пармською шинкою та листям шавлії). Співпрацюючи з найкращими шеф-кухарями Риму, вони діляться сучасними італійськими рецептами, такими як Сорбетто ді Пепероне, вогненно-гострий сорбет з чилі, – які відображають теплоту та колорит цього гамірного міста. Це вражаючий, свіжий погляд на римську кухню.

Окрім усіх спокусливих рецептів, Кеті та Джанкарло запрошують читачів у розкішну візуальну подорож від Пантеону та Колізею до палаццо епохи Відродження, барокових фонтанів та місцевих тратторій. Доповнена розповідями Кеті про їхню подорож, книга Rome – це чудова кулінарна книга та пам’ятний подарунок, який перенесе вас у серце Італії.

Про авторів:

Власники лондонського кафе «Кальдесі» «Кальдесі в Кампанья-ін-Брей» та кулінарної школи «Ла Кучіна Калдесі» в Мерілебоні, Кеті Кальдесі та її чоловік Джанкарло захоплюються італійською кухнею. Вони викладали разом з деякими з найвідоміших імен італійської кухні, включаючи Дженнаро Контальдо, Урсулу Ферріньо та Валентину Гарріс. Вони є авторами дев’яти кулінарних книг, включаючи італійські кулінарні книги: Sicily, Rome, Venice та The Amalfi Coast. 

Народжений у Тоскані, Джанкарло Кальдесі захоплюється італійською кухнею з ранніх спогадів про допомогу матері на кухні. Він навчався на шеф-кухаря в Італії, перш ніж переїхати до Великої Британії, і разом зі своєю дружиною Кеті зараз він володіє лондонським кафе Caldesi, Caldesi в Кампанья-ін-Брей та кулінарною школою La Cucina Caldesi в Мерілебоні. Подружжя Калдезі викладало разом з деякими з найвідоміших імен італійської кухні, включаючи Дженнаро.

The refined and revered tradition of botanical illustration, produced under aristocratic patronage, stretches back to the Renaissance. It emerged out of the desire to catalogue nature in all its wild splendour, and it was a process that demanded the most precise and skilful of artists.

French flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté is often viewed as one of the last and the best of these painters and engravers. Commissioned by among others, Napoleon's Josephine, Redouté studied with the finest flower painters in France and Amsterdam, and developed a breathtaking skill at translating his observations of nature onto paper. His illustrations of the botanical alphabets of D.-M. Guillamain were a landmark in flower painting for their accuracy and beauty. He was also an innovator in the techniques of printing, introducing "stipple-engraving" to France, always striving for greater exactitude in his art.

This is a glorious and completely faithful reproduction of his most celebrated work Les Roses, which was published in three volumes between 1817 and 1824. In Les Roses he turns his attention to that most romantic and evocative of subjects, and this handsome volume preserves every detail of Redouté's masterful representation of nature's gifts.

This gorgeous keepsake showcases the skillful artwork of two men who dedicated their lives to botanical illustration, the Belgian Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759-1840) and his English contemporary, James Sowerby (1757-1822).

The beautiful rose plates featured within are original reproductions of drawings which came to life in England’s Kew Gardens, the Gardens of Versailles, and at the Château de Malmaison, the residence of Napoleon’s first wife. Each plate is artfully reproduced from the extraordinarily images found in Redouté’s Les Roses (1817-21) and Sowerby’s English Botany (1780-1814). A comprehensive index at the back of the book uses the artists’ original language to describe the intricacies of the rose colors, their velvety textures, and their intoxicating scents.

To bring this lovely book into the 21st century, the paperback format and low price make this rare and significant volume accessible and affordable. A DVD is also included with images of the roses to be used by readers at their discretion.

Lavishly illustrated throughout with crystal-clear photography, this guide is the essential reference for the novice and experienced birdwatcher.

This large-format book starts with an extensively illustrated introduction, describing bird characteristics and behaviour. It also surveys the varied habitats in which birds may be spotted, including urban parks and gardens.

The 330 most commonly seen species are given a full-page entry in the species catalogue. See birds in their natural habitat and learn about characteristic behaviour with stunning photos showing adults in typical plumage, with male, female, juvenile, and summer or winter variations to help you identify birds quickly and easily. Colour-coded maps highlight resident and migratory distributions so you know which species of birds to expect when you are out and about. Within this bird book for adults there are key details and descriptions of rare species and accidental visitors to Britain and Europe.

The new edition of RSPB Complete Birds of Britain and Europe includes access to a free-download audio app, which features recordings of birdsong and calls for the most commonly occurring species - so that species can be identified by sound and by sight.

Whether you are looking for a guide to help you take part in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch or a bird-watching gift for friends and family, this bird-watching book is essential for quick and easy bird identification of European and British birds.

Одне з перших зображень морської фауни належить Самуелю Фаллурсу, який служив у Голландській Ост-Індській компанії. На острові Амбон, одному з Молуккських островів, він зробив малюнки риб та інших морських організмів Індійського океану та привіз їх до Голландії в 1712 році. Його малюнки належать до низки подібних малюнків, що зображують сотні тварин, здебільшого риб, але також ракоподібних, комах, дюгоня і навіть русалку. Деякі з них стали основою для публікацій 18 століття, серед яких «Риби, краби та риби» Луї Ренара (1719) та «Перевірка морських крабів Амбойни» Франсуа Валентина, розділ у його праці «Стаття у Новій Східній Індії» (1724–1726).

Ці прекрасні, ретельно деталізовані та яскраво розфарбовані малюнки дають надзвичайний опис морської їхньої фауни Ост-Індії, який досі можна інтерпретувати у світлі сучасних наукових знань. З художньої та історичної точки зору, ці малюнки є одними з найкращих ілюстрацій з природознавства, будь-коли створених.

Семюел Фоллурс, очевидно, народився в Роттердамі, розпочав свою кар'єру простим солдатом на службі в Голландській Ост-Індській компанії. 27 квітня 1703 року він відплив з Горе, Нідерланди, до Батавії, де залишався щонайменше до кінця 1705 року. До червня 1706 року він служив солдатом в Амбоні, призначеним до головної вартівні замку Вікторія. З вересня 1706 року по червень 1712 року він мав титул помічника вікарія (krankbezoeker), свого роду помічника духовенства, якому було доручено втішати хворих Амбона. Він покинув Індію та вирушив до Нідерландів у листопаді 1712 року. Під час свого перебування в Амбоні (1706-1712) Фоллурс виконав ілюстрації.

Ladurée – культова паризька кондитерська, заснована в 1862 році, є домівкою для всесвітньо відомого подвійного макаруну, винайденого П’єром Дефонтеном, онуком засновника, в 1930 році. З 1993 року компанія розширилася з однієї пекарні до міжнародної мережі з магазинами в понад 25 країнах, включаючи Велику Британію, Японію, Бразилію, Сінгапур і, нещодавно, Сполучені Штати (Нью-Йорк і Маямі).

Ladurée Savoir Vivre – це остання книга в успішній серії розважальних та лайфстайл-книг компанії. Як і її попередниці, вона розміщена в чарівній коробці. Приголомшливо ілюстрована сотнями спеціально замовлених фотографій та ілюстрацій, книга пропонує практичні поради та натхнення з таких різноманітних тем, як як готувати та снідати по-ладурейськи, як бути добрим господарем та добрим гостем, як найкраще одягатися в театр та як підготувати валізу до подорожі з елітною компанією. Книга поділена на п’ять розділів: «Ранок: Прокидайся та сяй!» «День: наполегливо працювати, працювати шикарно», «Вечір: вечірня елегантність», «Вихідні: розкішний відпочинок» та «Подорожі: подорожувати стильно». З безліччю корисних порад, меню та сервіровок столів, це найкращий посібник зі знання того, як добре жити (savoir vivre).
