John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Una retrospectiva única de Mick Rock, el fotógrafo oficial y socio creativo de David Bowie, recopilada en 2015 con el consentimiento del propio Bowie.En 1972, David Bowie publicó su revolucionario álbum The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Con él nació también el alter ego Stardust de Bowie: un ser de vestimenta reluciente, rímel en los ojos y sexualmente ambiguo que rompió las fronteras entre lo masculino y lo femenino, lo heterosexual y lo homosexual, la realidad y la ficción en un cambiante y brillante fenómeno de autoexpresión de los años setenta. Ziggy, el álbum, y Ziggy, el espectáculo, convirtieron al londinense de voz suave en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo.Uno de los pasajeros clave en ese viaje glam rumbo a la estratosfera fue Mick Rock, también de Londres. Rock estableció vínculos artísticos y personales muy estrechos con Bowie, pasó a formar parte del círculo íntimo del cantante y trabajó, en 1972 y 1973, como su fotógrafo oficial.Esta colección de fotografías reúne instantáneas espectaculares sobre el escenario y retratos íntimos en el backstage. El libro celebra la experimentación y reinvención audaz de Bowie. Una visión sin precedentes de las múltiples facetas del artista. Jugando con lo distante y lo accesible, lo divertido y lo serio, este apasionado tributo se regocija en la experimentación y la imprevisibilidad, y celebra la eterna inspiración de un artista audaz y excepcional que siempre será recordado.

Maybe her colourful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year.

She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally: Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.
