In all the years that Elinora Gassbeek has been matron of the Little Tulip Orphanage, not once have the Rules for Baby Abandonment been broken. Until the autumn of 1886, when five babies are left in outrageous circumstances: one in a tin toolbox, one in a coal bucket, one in a picnic hamper, one in a wheat sack and finally, one in a coffin-shaped basket.Those babies were Lotta, Egg, Fenna, Sem and Milou, who were swiftly and firmly deemed 'the unadoptables'. Twelve years on, the children still have each other - until the fateful night a most sinister gentleman appears and threatens to tear them apart. The gang decide to make a daring escape, fleeing the frozen canals of Amsterdam for an adventure packed with puppets and pirate ships, clock-makers and cruel villains - and with only a scrap of a clue to guide them to their mysterious new home.

Traditionally used in Aboriginal funeral ceremonies, memorial poles have been transformed into compelling contemporary artworks. The memorial pole is made from the trunk of the Eucalyptus tetradonta, hollowed naturally by termites. When the bones of the deceased were placed inside, it signified the moment when the spirit had finally returned home-when they had left the ''outside'' world, and become one with the ''inside'' world of the ancestral realm. Today, these works of art have become a powerful symbol of Aboriginal culture's significance around the globe. The artists featured in the book-including John Mawurndjul, Djambawa Marawili, and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu-are some of Australia's most acclaimed contemporary artists. Taking their inspiration from ancient clan insignia, the designs on these poles are transformed in new and personal ways that offer a powerful reminder of the resilience and beauty of Aboriginal culture. This book features dazzling color images and impeccable scholarship and includes essays from some of the leading scholars in the field of Aboriginal art.,This groundbreaking book focuses on contemporary memorial poles, one of the most unique forms of contemporary Aboriginal Australian art.

One of English literature's classic masterpieces—a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nominated as one of America’s bestloved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and farreaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, wellbred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

A fines del siglo XIX, el fotógrafo estadounidense Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) emprendió un proyecto que duraría 30 años con el que pretendía realizar un monumental estudio acerca de los indios norteamericanos. Empleando un enfoque tanto artístico como científico, documentó ambiciosamente con palabras e imágenes los vestigios del tradicional modo de vida de los indios que ya estaba empezando a extinguirse. Con una dedicación personal incansable, Curtis visitó 80 tribus nativas americanas, desde la frontera mexicana hasta el estrecho de Bering, ganándose su confianza con paciencia y sensibilidad. El trabajo fotográfico de su vida fue publicado en 20 volúmenes entre 1907 y 1930 con el título El indio norteamericano. Se imprimieron solo 272 copias en total, así que hoy en día la posibilidad de hacerse con una de las originales es sumamente improbable. Este libro recoge la colección completa de láminas de Curtis sobre los indígenas americanos y las pone de nuevo al alcance del gran público, reconociendo así el extraordinario trabajo del fotógrafo, que crea un documento histórico de increíble valor al tiempo que consigue la excelencia en términos fotográficos.
