Otoño de 1940: ha estallado la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Llueven bombas sobre Londres; los teatros han cerrado, y de noche reina la oscuridad por miedo a la aviación enemiga.

Matisse (2 vols. con estuche)
Este magno y exhaustivo análisis de Hilary Spurling, premiada por esta obra con el codiciado Premio Whitbread, recorre con minucia la vida y la trayectoria de Matisse, y ésta demuestra ser la mejor manera para comprender tanto las obras individuales del pintor como su impresionante trayectoria y la evolución de sus ideas respecto a las artes plásticas. No sólo nos encontramos ante la más completa y definitiva biografía de uno de los pintores más célebres, sino de un espléndido retrado de los ambientes artísticos en que se desarrolló su obra. A esto se une una investigación muy rigurosa con información inédita del artista procedente de entrevistas y el talento narrativo de Spurling al entreverar la evolución biográfica y personal con la artística.

埋骨
"A thrilling portrait of the extraordinary childhood of Pearl Buck, the now-forgotten bestselling Nobel Prize winning novelist and author of The Good Earth. Pearl Buck foresaw China''s future as a superpower long before anyone else. She witnessed the first stirrings of Chinese revolution as a teenager, and narrowly esacped being killed herself in the subsequent battles between Communists and Nationalists. Pearl grew up in an imperial China unchanged for thousands of years. She was the child of American missionaries but she spoke Chinese before she learnt English, and her friends were the children of Chinese farmers. She took it for granted she was Chinese herself until she was eight years old, when the Boxers'' terrorist uprising forced her family to flee for their lives..." -- cover verso.

Matisse - Uma Vida

Matisse - Uma Vida
O livro de Hilary Spurling busca revelar aspectos pouco conhecidos da vida e do processo de trabalho de Henri Matisse. Propõe-se a testemunhar a tenacidade do pintor, escultor e desenhista na busca pelo equilíbrio entre o rigor e a paixão, ao mesmo tempo em que este subvertia os cânones da arte clássica e do chamado bom gosto. A obra contextualiza as tentativas de resposta das vanguardas modernistas à perplexidade de duas guerras mundiais e apresenta personagens menos conhecidos do grande público, como os pintores Ambroise Vollard, Albert Marquet e André Derain, contemporâneos de Matisse.
