Wuthering Heights is Emily Bront`s only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centers. The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys both thems and many around them. Now considered a classic of English literature, the novel`s innovative structure, which has been likened to a series of Matryoshka dolls, met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared.

Emily Jane Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the third-eldest of the four surviving Bronte siblings. Wuthering Heights is her only novel. It is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine`s father. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

This edition contains "Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland" and its sequel "Through the Looking-Glass". It is illustrated throughout by Sir John Tenniel, whose drawings for the books add so much to the enjoyment of them. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Red Queen and the White Rabbit all make their appearances, and are now familiar figures in writing, conversation and idiom. So too, are Carroll`s delightful verses such as "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and the inspired jargon of that masterly Wordsworthian parody, "The Jabberwocky".

The Japanese artist Yasumasa Morimura is a controversial figure in the world of contemporary art. His photographs present an original re-elaboration of themes central to visual culture by showing the artist himself in the role of artistic subjects and historical figures. Morimura reinterprets in particular the works of famous painters, from Velazquez to Goya, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn and Frida Kahlo. Ideas central to his photography, such as the difference between "to see" and "to be seen", and the ambiguity of gender in contemporary society - stressed by the artist`s preference for the female body, - stimulate thought on political and religious issues. Popular culture is another of Morimura`s interests, as shown in his...
Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has pursued her principal themes of infinity, self-image, sexuality and compulsive repetition since she took the New York art world by storm in the late 1950s with her Infinity Nets – heroically-scaled paintings covered in endlessly repeating net-like patterns, which won the admiration of artists ranging from Barnett Newman to Donald Judd. In Kusama’s installations and sculptures she compulsively covers every surface, either in polka dots (Infinity Mirror Room, 1965); mirrors (Endless Love Show, 1966); or phallus-like protrusions (Violet Obsession, 1994, a vivid purple boat lined with stuffed forms). This is the first monograph on the forty-year career of this distinguished, highly innovative artist, who...
