Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A poignant coming-of-age tale that follows a resilient young girl wading through the emotional mire of feuding divorced parents and the haunting mystery of a vanished brother, uncovering hard truths and hidden strength in the murky depths of family. In the town once known as Ten Swamps, twelve-year-old Ellie walks a precarious line between her warring parents, each armed with their own version of the truth. Her father's house is a minefield, with each step potentially dangerous. Her mother's home stands empty of the brother who vanished without explanation. And the ancient woods that surround them all hold mysteries that have been lurking beneath the surface for generations. When Ellie forms an unexpected friendship with Larry, a peculiar classmate who seems to understand her in ways no one else can, they create a sanctuary in the threatened woods behind her house. But as strange signals call from the trees and unexplained red dots flicker across her television screen, Ellie begins to wonder if the forest is trying to tell her something-something about the town's forgotten history, or perhaps about Edward, the brother who either escaped or was taken. Nancy Doyne's Ten Swamps masterfully captures the raw confusion of adolescence, the ache of fractured families, and the magic of discovering a friend who sees the world the way you do. With unforgettable characters and a setting rich in atmosphere, this novel is a poignant exploration of memory, myth, and the choices that define us. AUTHOR: Nancy Doyne is a writer. She lives in New York City with her husband, Bill, and their dog, Georgie. Among other works, she is known for What Maisie Knew, an adaptation of the novel by Henry James, which was nominated for the USC Scripter Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2012. This is her first novel. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Benoit Cohen's Wonderful, with his hymn to life, delicately and lucidly stages an exploration of personal responsibility, and family choices about how people can exit life today. Ten years have passed since Benoit Cohen's father's death, but the circumstances of his passing remain deeply painful and complicated. Wonderful is a touching and insightful exploration of some of the hardest questions about life, death, family, and responsibility. Cohen knew he would have to tell his family's story, which took place in Paris, in conjunction with his mother and two brothers. After a devastating cancer diagnosis, his father was terrified of death. His family sought to prevent him from undue suffering or having their actions arouse suspicion. His father's lucidly tenacious, but fundamentally irrational self-denial in the face of a terminal diagnosis, reveals a revelatory chapter in one family's experience with grief, loss, death and dying. With respect and love, Benoit and his family are determined to find a way to help his father depart with dignity and ease. But they come up against the frustrations of a health care system in which palliative care can be difficult to access or is reserved for only a "fortunate" few. Personal choices regarding "right-to-die" issues are legally sanctioned in many countries, whereas in others they are met with the specter of criminality. As they discover, there are few legal options (if any) to explore the path to peaceful exit and relief. AUTHOR: Born in 1969, Benoit Cohen, filmmaker and writer, now lives in Paris. After directing several films, including Our Beloved Children (2003) and You Will Be a Man (2013), he also published Yellow Cab (2017), Mohammad, My Mother and Me, which was adapted into a film Ma France a moi (2023).

This book presents the Church's new exhibition, The Ark, uniting powerful animal sculptures that, like Noah's Ark, offers hope that humanity's compassion and creativity can guide us through global crises. An undeniable pall hangs over the future of our world, with prospects looking increasingly uncertain and frightful. The interlocking social, political, and environmental crises exist on a planetary scale. However, from antiquity forward, the idea of an ark gave hope that humanity will, through resourcefulness, compassion, and solidarity, shepherd the world beyond catastrophe. The Ark, an extraordinary exhibition at The Church in Sag Harbor, brings together sculptures from several generations of artists who have captured humanity's deepest pleasures and fears through imagination and self-expression. Curated by renowned artist Eric Fischl, this collection resonates with the ancient story of survival against overwhelming odds. Within this contemporary ark, you'll discover sculptures that embody the inherent beauty of animals while simultaneously exploring the mythic, visual, and cultural with unexpected power. This book presents works that are not mere representations but embodiments of mysteries in our struggle for survival and protection against a hostile world. From Louise Bourgeois's monumental spiders to Deborah Butterfield's reclining horses, from William Kentridge's bronze pigeons to Jane Rosen's ethereal glass raptors--each piece invites contemplation of our place in nature.

"Although Samuel Abraham Marx (1885-1964) was born at the end of the nineteenth century, he had the eye of a modernist - as an architect, designer, connoisseur, and art collector. His vision was neither ostentatious nor grandiose, but subtle and quietly magnificent." "Ultramodern Samuel Marx Architect, Designer, Art Collector is the first monograph on this lesser-known but increasingly influential American designer. In more than 200 photographs, Marx expert and decorative arts dealer Liz O'Brien reveals many of his undiscovered projects, including houses that have been razed despite protests of preservationists, as well as his range of innovative furniture designs. Marx was also a noted collector of modern art who was sought after for his ability to integrate art in upscale interiors. The private art collections of many of his wealthy clients have, in the last 40 years, been dispersed to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as the Art Institute of Chicago."--Jacket.

In addition to 25 years worth of captivating photographs and some never before published drawings, textile designs, and personal artworks, Making Marks is a journey through a fascinating life - from a career launched in Japan, to the opening of the first Timney Fowler shop in London's hip Portobello area, and her successful career as an interior designer.

In other words, I've found my own way of seeing." AUTHOR: Laura Bohn, a graduate of Pratt Institute, has long played an active role in the design community.
