The Life, Death and Legacy of Jon Nödtveidt and Dissection. (S. Monleón). Denna biografi skildrar Jon Nödtveidt, ledare för Dissection, vars två arv formade extremmetal och ockult filosofi. Musikaliskt förenade han 90-talets Death och Black Metal i en unik stil helgad åt satanism, där musik och ideologi smälte samman. Andligt levde han efter sina esoteriska övertygelser med fullständig äkthet, och lämnade ett bestående avtryck både i musiken och den mörka filosofi han omfamnade. 240 sidor, Inbunden bok.

<b><i>Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait</i> celebrates Monroe's enduring legacy as a cultural icon, by exploring her impact on photography, art and film. </b> <br/><br/> Marilyn Monroe was one of the most famous and photographed women of the twentieth century whose cultural significance continues to fascinate generations. <br/><br/> <i>Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait</i> reflects on Monroe's extraordinary impact on photographers and artists, showing familiar and rarely seen photographs of her, alongside outstanding artworks made during her lifetime and afterwards, that collectively create a portrait of her. <br/><br/> Today, as we better understand the challenges Monroe faced in her life and the agency she sought in shaping her career, her photographs have accumulated new meanings and captivated new audiences. <br/><br/> From her collaborations with photographers such as Eve Arnold and Richard Avedon to bold reinterpretations of her by Pop artists including Pauline Boty and Andy Warhol, Monroe's image has been continually reimagined, speaking to her lasting impact on visual culture and our understanding of beauty, fame, and power. <br/><br/> Far more than a Hollywood star, Monroe was a complex figure; ambitious, witty, charismatic, and deeply involved in the crafting of her public persona. <i>Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait</i> includes contributions from the actor, director and writer Lena Dunham, playwright and cultural commentator Bonnie Greer and feminist art historian Griselda Pollock, who offer fresh and personal perspectives on Monroe's cultural significance and enduring legacy.

<b>Published to celebrate what would have been </b><b>Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday, this fittingly lavish book showcases photographs by the legendary Bernard of Hollywood (Dr. Bruno Bernard) that document her transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe, and includes never-before-seen photographs</b><br/><br/><i>The Marilyn Monroe Century </i>is a landmark tribute to one of the most enduring icons of the 20th century. Lushly produced for fans and collectors alike, this book is both a celebration of Monroe's centennial and a definitive portrait of her life in front of-and behind-the camera.<br/><br/>In 1999, the Museum of Modern Art declared Dr. Bruno Bernard's legendary photograph <i>Marilyn in White</i>-capturing Monroe on the 20th Century Fox backlot as her white dress billowed above a subway grate-the symbol of the century. This single image defined 1950s Hollywood glamour and continues to echo across pop culture in songs, films, artworks, and more today. Appearing inset on this book's clothbound cover, a lenticular print recreates this iconic moment-the sudden lift of Monroe's skirt-shifting as the book is tilted up and down. <br/><br/><i>The Marilyn Monroe Century </i>also<i></i>presents never-before-seen images from the set of Billy Wilder's <i>The Seven Year Itch</i>, offering an intimate window into the complex relationship between Bernard and Monroe. The book revisits their fractured friendship, their quiet reconciliation at her home as she announced her divorce from Joe DiMaggio, and her shocking act of rebellion in posing for a photograph that continues to enchant-and provoke-decades later.<br/><br/>More than a collection of photos, this is a sweeping visual biography. Through Bernard's lens-and thoughtfully supplemented by the work of other photographers-the book traces Norma Jeane's evolution into Marilyn Monroe. Personal diary entries from Bernard and commentary from modern Hollywood voices, including Sean Baker, director of the Academy Award-winning <i>Anora</i>, lend new context and insight.
