"Su original había dejado espiritualmente a reconocer el cuerpo delante de él como la de ella - lo que le permite a la deriva, como un cadáver de la corriente, en una dirección disociado de su testamento en vida." "Tess de d'Urberville" fue la penúltima obra de Thomas Hardy, uno de los autores más reconocidos de la literatura victoriana inglesa. Inicialmente, la novela fue publicada en tomos y en su versión censurada por el diario ilustrado "The Graphic" durante 1891. No fue hasta el año siguiente que la novela fue publicada en un solo tomo y sin censura. "Tess de d'Urberville" cuenta la historia de Tess, la descendiente de una familia aristocrática empobrecida del sur de Inglaterra. Tess se ve atrapada física y psicológicamente en una Inglaterra rural llena de restricciones morales y contradicciones. Finalmente, decide rebelarse contra todo aquello que se le ha sido impuesto y vivir guiada por su independencia, sentido del bien y la búsqueda de la felicidad. Aunque actualmente está considerada como una de las obras más importantes de la literatura inglesa de la época, "Tess de d'Urberville" fue duramente criticada en su época debido al inusual trato de la sexualidad en referencia a la tradición victoriana. El libro explora la doble moralidad de la sociedad de la época, regida por unas normas de género estrictas que acabarán exponiendo a nuestra protagonista a un destino fatal. "Tess de d'Urberville" ha sido adaptada en numerosas ocasiones para teatro, ópera, cine y televisión. Una de las adaptaciones con más éxito fue la versión cinematográfica a cargo de Roman Polanski estrenada en 1979 y con Nastassja Kinski en el papel de Tess. "Tess de d'Urberville" también ha aparecido en nombrada en el éxito cinematográfico "Cincuenta sombras de Grey", así como en la serie de televisión "Downtown Abbey".

Amalie Smith ignites everyday encounters into sites of revelation and metamorphosis Recently unearthed from the ground, Marble leaves her new lover in Copenhagen and travels to Athens. The city is overflowing with colour, steam and fragrance, cats cry like babies at night, the economic crisis is raging. In this volatile landscape, Marble grasps the world by exploring its immediate surfaces. Capturing specks of colour on ancient sculptures in the Acropolis Museum with an infrared camera, she simultaneously traces the pioneering sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen, who spent several months in the same place 110 years earlier. Far away from her husband and children, Carl-Nielsen showed that Archaic sculptures were originally painted in bright colours – a feat which meant defying Victorian gender roles and jeopardising her marriage. Sensuous and electric, yet admirably forensic in its approach to mineral life, Marble is a galvanizing novel about the materials life is made of, about korai and sponge diving, about looking and looking again, written in a spare and pellucid style. Praise for Marble Everything connects. In that Ali Smith/Isabel Waidner way, Amalie Smith manages to stuff a lot of topics in an economic way… Enriching and rewarding – The Bobsphere A resolute novel that, by virtue of its mix of literary suggestion, aesthetic experience and art historical insight, makes something that is simultaneously straightforwardly concrete and almost incomprehensibly abstract come alive – Jyllands-Posten Marble is not reminiscent of much else, but that does not make it odd. Just beautifully its own. It is made of the stuff art and literature is made of. In excess – Berlingske Amalie Smith brings marble to life – Politiken ♥♥♥♥ Admirably vivid – Information Marble is an artistically ambitious and original attemptat creating an open, hybrid and 'impure' strand of novel which integrates and supplements fiction with factual and documentary elements… Amalie Smith digs into the material with knowledge, sensuality, and aesthetic sensibility – Litteratursiden Marble is a novel about insisting on the significance of surfaces, about longing and absorption, about diving and becoming porous. The book thinks across disciplines and aesthetic genre conventions, and hence it is no coincidence that Amalie Smith is a practising artist as well as a writer – Vagant AMALIE SMITH (b. 1985) is a Danish writer and visual artist. A graduate from the Danish Academy of Creative Writing and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Smith has published eight hybrid books. She has received numerous awards for her work as an artist and writer, including the Danish Arts Foundation's prestigious three-year working grant, the Danish Crown Prince Couple's Rising Star Award, and the Bodil and Jørgen Munch-Christensen Prize for emerging writers.

A Biblical Theology of the New Creation from Genesis to Revelation "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God." —Revelation 21:3 The Bible begins with the story of one perfectly good God creating a perfectly good universe. Forming two perfectly good human beings in his own image—Adam and Eve—was the crown jewel of his creative expression. Through humanity's sin, however, God's creation fell into a fallen state—yet he promised to bring restoration. In this book, Frank Thielman traces the theme of the new creation through the Bible, beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation. He shows us that at every turn, God invites his people to be a "kingdom of priests" (Exodus 19:6), exemplifying the new creation to a needy and watching world until the return of Jesus.

Bestselling Author John Piper Examines End-Times Theology and Scripture's Command to Love the Second Coming of Christ Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ—what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who love the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6–8). Piper examines key biblical texts around the second coming while encouraging readers toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Jesus's return. He also explores important questions such as, Could Jesus come at any moment, or must certain events happen first?; What does it mean to "Watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour"?; and What should we be doing when he comes? With a special focus on the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and Peter, Come, Lord Jesus portrays not only the glory of the revealed Savior, but also the glorification of the resurrected saints. - Essential, Christ-Exalting Eschatology: Piper guides Christians to examine whether they long for the appearing of Christ, and what this event will mean for Christians, non-Christians, and for Christ himself - Careful Exegesis: Piper pays close and precise attention to the words of Scripture, especially with a view to showing how Jesus and Paul were of one mind about the second coming - Practical: The final 5 chapters are devoted to how Christians should live in this age between the first and second appearing of Christ - Written by Bestselling Author John Piper: Author of Don't Waste Your Life, Desiring God, and Providence

In seinem Job als Wirtschaftsforensiker der Stadt Gotham City scheint er genau der richtige Mann zu sein. Dann bringt ihn das Spiel mit den Zahlen auf die Spur einer riesigen Verschwörung, in der auch die Mächtigen von Gotham verstrickt sind.

Zugleich macht eine düstere Gestalt in Gotham von sich reden: Batman, ein maskierter Vigilant, der auf eigene Faust Verbrecher jagt. In ihm sieht Edward ein Vorbild, als er schließlich selbst maskiert als Riddler der korrupten Stadt den Krieg erklärt … Schauspieler und Drehbuchautor Paul Dano verkörperte im Blockbuster The Batman den Superschurken Riddler.
