Remington’s name remains recognizable today, and his work continues to impress viewers more than a century after he was active. From the bronze statuettes of anonymous Western heroes in crisis to large-scale actions set against vast backdrops, his works found their form through mythology and by "merging his experiences and memories." Both commercially and nostalgia-driven, the dualistic personality of Frederic Remington as a person is at times a problem for modern sensibilities.

I perioder mellem 2013 og 2017 led forfatteren af svær depression og var tvangsindlagt på en psykiatrisk afdeling, hvor hun gennemgik en række elektrochokbehandlinger.

Entre mitad de los años 70 y el decenio siguiente emergió en tierras andaluzas una hornada de bandas que fusionaban notas extraídas del flamenco tradicional con el más vanguardista rock del momento. A los puristas del cante jondo ese experimento les pareció algo atrevido y demasiado "rompedor", pero a los jóvenes seguidores del rock aquella mezcolanza les supuso toda una revelación.

Gennem sin fars og sin egen livshistorie fortæller kunstneren Ai Weiwei historien om Kina i de seneste 100 år.

Ai Weiweis far, Ai Qing, som blev en berømt digter, faldt i unåde hos partiet under kulturrevolutionen og blev sendt i eksil. Ai Weiwei voksede derfor op i et barskt og øde område kaldet Lille Sibirien i det nordvestlige Kina, hvor faderen rengjorde de offentlige toiletter som strafarbejde. Her boede familien i 16 år. Da Mao døde, og kulturrevolutionen ophørte, kunne de tage tilbage til Beijing.

In Cubed Rubik covers more than just his journey to inventing his eponymous cube. He makes a case for always being an amateur (which he considers himself). He discusses the inevitability of problems during any act of invention. He reveals what it was like to experience the astonishing worldwide success of an object he made purely for his own amusement. And he offers what he thinks it means to be a true creator (hint: persistence). Steeped in the wisdom and also the humility of a born inventor, Cubed offers a unique look at the imperfect science of creation.

Christine Westermann, preisgekrönte Journalistin und Bestsellerautorin, genießt mit ihren Buchempfehlungen großes Vertrauen bei einem breiten Publikum. Bücher sind aus ihrem heutigen Leben nicht wegzudenken, sie sind für sie Fenster in ein fremdes Leben. Dabei war ihr Weg zu den Büchern kein selbstverständlicher, eher ein Hindernislauf.

Oito dias antes de morrer, Frida Kahlo usou seus pincéis pela última vez, deixando em um quadro a mensagem: "Viva la vida. Coyoacán, 1954". Poucos meses antes, sua perna direita havia sido amputada e ela sentia que toda sua energia a abandonara, como se a vida estivesse, aos poucos, se afastando. Seu último quadro retratava a natureza morta e não por coincidência: ela se despedia, do modo como via o mundo e com as cores que amava, apesar dos sofrimentos que a vida lhe impuseram desde cedo.

He writes about life in '60s London and New York, his friendship with photographers Donovan and Duffy and annoying his rival Lord Snowdon. His love-life was always headline-worthy. He propelled his girlfriend, model Jean Shrimpton, to stardom - and was threatened with a shotgun by her father. When he married Catherine Deneuve, Mick Jagger was his best man.
