The Bond That Burns (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

Xie Lian, once the darling of the heavens, is a twice-banished god infamous for his fall from grace. Eight hundred years have passed since his mortal life as the Crown Prince of Xianle, and he's now the laughingstock of the three realms. So when he ascends to godhood for a third time, it causes an uproar among his divine peers. Ascension may be nothing new to Xie Lian, but this time he has no followers, little power, and less luck. To repay his heavenly debts, Xie Lian must descend to the Mortal Realm to hunt ghosts that prey upon the living. There, he encounters a mysterious stranger-but is this newcomer friend or foe . . . or something else entirely? Volume 1 includes the prologue and episodes 1-14 of the original webcomic based on the webnovel Tian Guan Ci Fu published on JJWXC.

<b>A glorious fusion of history and art, <i>A Vast Horizon</i> tells the story of Pablo Picasso and his free-spirited friends, including Lee Miller and Man Ray, in the tumultuous years around the Second World War.<br/><br/>'Excellent and revealing . . . at the end we feel their loss as if they had been our friends'</b> - Antony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives<br/><br/><b>'At once intimate and expansive . . . a fascinating portrait'</b> - Clare Mulley, author of <i>Agent Zo</i><br/><br/>Late summer 1937.

A couple kiss playfully while the others look on, laughing. The moment is captured in Lee Miller's now-iconic image.<br/><br/>Some of the friends are well known, others less so: the dancer Ady Fidelin, the poet Paul Eluard and his wife Nusch, the Surrealists Man Ray and Roland Penrose. They are spending the summer with fellow artists Dora Maar, Eileen Agar and Pablo Picasso.<br/><br/>In <i>A Vast Horizon </i>biographer Anna Thomasson tells the story of their creativity, friendships and pursuit of freedom set against the tense political backdrop of the 1930s, the Second World War and its aftermath. Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.
