The Art of Neil Gaiman. A Visual Biography

Harper Collins USA. Hardcover. Pp: 320. With unprecedented access to Neil Gaiman`s personal archives, author Hayley Campbell gives an insider`s glimpse into the artistic inspirations and musings of one of the world`s most visionary writers. Over the last twenty-five years, Neil Gaiman has mapped out a territory in the popular imagination that is uniquely his own. A master of several genres, including, but not limited to, bestselling novels, children`s books, groundbreaking comics, and graphic novels, it`s no wonder Gaiman has been called a rock star of the literary world. Now, for the first time, Gaiman reveals the inspiration behind his signature artistic motifs, giving author Hayley Campbell a rare, in-depth look at the contents of his personal notebooks and early work, even some of his abandoned projects. The result is a startling, intimate glimpse into the life and mind of one of the world`s most creative visionaries. The book is the first comprehensive, full-color examination of Gaiman`s work to date, tracing the genesis of his creative life as a starving journalist in the UK to his life as a successful comic book writer and, ultimately, a bestselling novelist. Complete with running commentary, interview text, and annotated material that contextualizes the visual material, this deluxe compendium contains never-before-seen material and promises to be every bit as inspired as Gaiman is himself.

The Beggarstaff Posters

Barrie & Jenkins, 1990. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 128. James Pryde and William Nicholson first made their names during the 1890s as poster designers. Under the pseudonym J & W Beggarstaff, the two men collaborated on a series of revolutionary posters whose style was characterized by bold silhouettes, simplified forms and pure, flat colours. Their first work together was for a production of Hamlet in which their friend Edward Gordon Craig, took the title role, and it made them famous overnight. The Beggarstaffs' work was acclaimed by critics of the time and became sought after by collectors. By the time of the dissolution of the partnership their work had influenced many European and American designers and today they are rightly regarded as important pioneers of the modern pictorial advertisement.

Better to Live. How I learned to survive depression

Hodder & Stoughton, 2020. Hardcover. Pp: 304. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Last Christmas I almost killed myself. Almost. I've had a lot of almosts. Never gone from almost to deed. Don't think I ever will. But it was a bad almost. Living Better is Alastair Campbell's honest, moving and life affirming account of his lifelong struggle with depression. It is an autobiographical, psychological and psychiatric study, which explores his own childhood, family and other relationships, and examines the impact of his professional and political life on himself and those around him. But it also lays bare his relentless quest to understand depression not just through his own life but through different treatments. Every bit as direct and driven, clever and candid as he is, this is a book filled with pain, but also hope - he examines how his successes have been in part because of rather than despite his mental health problems - and love. We all know someone with depression. There is barely a family untouched by it. We may be talking about it more than we did, back in the era of 'boys don't cry' - they did you know - and when a brave face or a stiff upper lip or a best foot forward was seen as the only way to go. But we still don't talk about it enough. There is still stigma, and shame, and taboo. There is still the feeling that admitting to being sad or anxious makes us weak. It took me years, decades even to get to this point, but I passionately believe that the reverse is true and that speaking honestly about our feelings and experiences (whether as a depressive or as the friend or relative of a depressive) is the first and best step on the road to recovery. So that is what I have tried to do here. ISBN: 9781529331820. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Comics and Columbine

Sparsile Books Limited, 2018. Paperback. Pp: 276. THE SCHOOL SHOOTER WHO DIDN'T SHOOT Growing up an autistic loner, Thomas Campbell's schooldays were a living nightmare of bullying and abuse that saw him in psychiatric care by age 8. The target of entire classrooms, he developed a lifelong hatred of all things educational. This hatred - the shared thinking of the school shooter - has gifted him with a unique insight into the slaughter we are witnessing in our schools now. Written from the perspective of the classroom avenger, it explores their distorted thinking and reveals the 'socially acceptable' evils that provoke such a lethal response. 'In this angry, tender, and extraordinary work, Thomas Campbell writes with fierce immediacy from the cultural ultra-violet of the Asperger spectrum, allowing us a crucial glimpse into the emotional gulag to which we thoughtlessly sentence thousands daily, and perhaps moderating our disingenuous surprise when another awkward loner takes an assault rifle to class for Show and Tell. Written with a lucid honesty, unafraid of its own unavoidable subjectivity. Comics and Columbine is the slap in the face that we badly needed and deserved, delivered in a clear and ringing voice from the white-hot heart of the experience. It is a voice that we ignore to our considerable loss, and at our considerable peril. Campbell has written what in my opinion is a beautiful narrative about an irredeemably ugly subject. I really cannot recommend this vital and necessary book too strongly.' Alan Moore, Author of Watchmen/V for Vendetta/ From Hell. ISBN: 9781999871345. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Stephen John Campbell 299069

Cosmè Tura of Ferrara

Yale University Press, 1997. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 207. In the city of Ferrara, a major cultural and artistic centre of Renaissance Italy, Cosme Tura (c. 1430-1495) came to prominence as painter to the Este court. This book offers a new and wide-ranging approach to Tura's life and his enigmatic and stylistically idiosyncratic works. Stephen Campbell takes the career of Tura as a starting point for the investigation of such intriguing issues as the fifteenth-century artist's role and status in both court and urban culture and the bearing these conceptions may have had on Tura's distinctive style. Campbell provides an account of the role of the image in Ferrara's religious, political and intellectual life, broadening our understanding of the Renaissance beyond traditional discussions of visual culture that focus on Rome, Florence and Venice. The author discusses also how Tura and his contemporaries addressed local themes of ethnic, political and religious tension in their works. ISBN: 9780300072198. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
