Helmut Newton, Archives de Nuit
Author: Helmut Newton
Publisher: Schirmer Mosel
ISBN:
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
This book gets its name from 60 unusually dark and cryptic photographs. When Newton opened his "Archives of the Night" in the 90's, gloomy images emerged like flocks of bats. His famous "Domestic Nudes" appeared in pairs and tableaus together with sinister landscapes. Palace architecture was displayed next to morbid vanitas paintings as were bodies cut open from an anatomical museum of wax figures, placed on show alongside a portrait of a Dracula star putting on his make-up. With the Archives, Newton, who decided on the placement of these works himself, showed us his dark side. But at the same time, he was amusing himself with grey areas - also typical for Newton. The juxtaposition of seemingly disparate motifs created new and enigmatic relationships that oscillate between satire and poetry, brutality and gentleness, irony and pathos.

This Gun for Hire
Author: Eric Ambler
Publisher: Vintage Crime/Black Lizard
ISBN: 0307950050
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
First published five years after he introduced Arthur Abdel Simpson in the comic thriller The Light of Day, Eric Ambler turns the spotlight back to his compelling antihero—a man you can’t help but root for. Arthur Abdel Simpson counts himself lucky to have survived his adventure at Istanbul’s Topkapi Museum. Now living in Athens, Greece, he finds the British Consul has seized his passport—they don’t care to renew passports for people who have committed criminal acts or renounced their British citizenship, and Simpson has done both. Now he needs to obtain a fake passport and visas to stay in country. But his inept attempts to do so leave him in debt to multiple shady operatives. Before he knows what’s happened, Simpson finds himself on a boat to Port Said, en route to a new—and potentially short-lived—career as an officer with a group of mercenary soldiers preparing for a major operation in the Central African jungle.

Pages : 229
Book Description
Being an assassin is all well and good...until you're hired to kill the only man you ever loved. In the not-too-distant future, governments all over the world break down, leaving society uprooted, the prey of war lords, gangsters, bullies, and bosses. But Chester Horowitz--Witz to his friends--doesn't care about all that. He got an early start at eliminating people and he's supposed to be one of the best, but he's getting tired of looking over his shoulder. There's a real nice beach down south and one of these days he'll score big enough to go there. For good. When the shit hits the fan he takes a job out of pure desperation. His sister's in a coma (beaten up by a couple of goons trying to get at him), he owes serious money to one ruthless boss, and he's dodging another one. This job would fix everything for him and his family--everything that matters. Until Witz sees who the target is. They used to say you never forget your first love. Well, if your first love is the heir of the biggest gang in the darkcity, that goes double. If your first love also happens to be the guy your sadistic prick of a father just manipulated you into agreeing to kill, it's triple. Why the hell couldn't this one job have been simple?
