Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Let's face it, what is it that identifies you to those who surround you? Your lovers, your friends, your colleagues, acquaintances or even strangers? What attracts or repulses them? Is it what they look at? Or what they see? What do YOU see when you look into a mirror? Creator Rosario Villajos looks closely at this topic and wonders about life without a face. In her own words: 'Face' is a magical autobiography about identity, the escape of oneself towards love and the fight to fit in and be "normal" in our society.' She does not tread carefully and maybe reflects some of the doubts and fears in your own 'Face' book. Let's face it, what is it that identifies you to those who surround you?

Hardback. Condition: Good. A contemplative journey through the restaurants of Japan THOUGHT FOR FOOD. This is the book in which nothing happens but everything is consumed! Like The Walking Man at lunch! What do we learn about Mister Inogashira? He's a sole, independent trader importing household and fashion goods from France. He is always busy but never rushed as he travels around Japan selling his wares. He's a private person who, whilst he enjoys the company of women, prefers to remain a bachelor. He smokes cigarettes but never touches alcohol. But above all, he enjoys his food! He is The Solitary Gourmet!

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Charlotte Salomon was a young Jewish artist from a prosperous family whose mother committed suicide when she was just nine years old. She attended the School for Pure and Applied Arts until 1938 when the increasing antisemitic policies caused her to escape to the south of France to live with her grandparents. It was not the best of times. In 1941, now living alone she began painting what became over 1000 gouaches which she edited and added captions and overlays to create her life's work. In 1943 she handed the work over to the local doctor in a large suitcase with the wish that he 'Keep this safe, it is my whole life.' By September that year she had married another German Jewish refugee, Alexander Nagler, and the two of them were arrested and she was transported to Auschwitz to the gas chambers when five months pregnant.
