Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the winter and spring of 2002, in the aftermath of a world-shattering tragedyMax Nabati wandered through the museums of Paris, Florence, and Rome, seeking solace in stone and bronze. What he found were not mere artworks, but mirrors reflecting a self unmoored by grief and unreality.The Marble Winter is a luminous, deeply personal meditation on four iconic sculptures and the states of desire they evoke: Rodin's Gates of Hell, where a quiet, sinking female figure embodies the erotics of human torment and annihilation. Leonardo da Vinci's subtle smiles and unfinished heads, revealing the erotics of intellectual mystery and the mind's intimate grip on the body. Giovanni Benzoni's La Pudicizia (Modesty), a veiled marble woman whose eternal, tantalizing descent captures idealized restraint and sublime frustration. Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, a divine ravishment where eros and spirit converge in total, glorious surrender.Blending memoir, art criticism, and sensual philosophy, Nabati traces a pilgrimage through cold galleries and heated imagination. In the damp chill of Paris, the dry light of Florence, and the theatrical shadows of Rome, he confronts the question that haunts a changed world: What is desire when everything feels unreal Not an academic treatise, but a map of one season's hauntings, this book invites readers to stand before these works anew-and to feel the cold that burns, the veil that never falls, the smile that decodes the soul, and the piercing that undoes the self.Perfect for lovers of introspective nonfiction, art enthusiasts, and anyone who has sought meaning in beauty amid loss.…
