Monet: The Restless Vision
A magnificent new biography of the founder of Impressionism
In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Misunderstood and mocked at the beginning of his career, he risked everything to pursue his original vision. Although close to starvation when he invented impressionism on the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s, in the following decades he emerged as the powerful leader of the new painting in Paris at one of its most exciting cultural moments. His symphonic series Haystacks, Poplars, and Rouen Cathedral brought wealth and renown. Then he withdrew to paint only the pond in his garden. The late Water Lilies, ignored during his lifetime, are now celebrated as pioneers of twentieth century modernism.
Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger’s enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet’s turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. He was as obsessional in his love affairs as in his love of nature, and changed his art decisively three times when the woman at the centre of his life changed. Enduring devastating bereavements, he pushed the frontier of painting inward, to evoke memory and the passing of time. His work also responded intensely to outside cataclysms – the Dreyfus Affair, the First World War. Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau was his closest friend. Rich intellectual currents connected him to writers from Zola to Proust; affection and rivalry to Renoir, Pissarro and Manet.
Monet said he was driven ‘wild with the need to put down what I experience’. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

The Wedding Planner: The sparkling, captivating new novel from the billion copy bestseller
A day to remember . . .
Faith Ferguson is one of New York’s most sought after wedding planners. Realizing dreams and making magic happen are part of why Faith loves her job. But weddings are not always champagne and roses, and this particular year brings challenges both professionally and personally.
On an estate in the Hamptons, the Alberts’ event – with orchid swans, a firework extravaganza and added family strife – does not come without its problems. And Morgan and Alex’s chic, tasteful and joyful celebration in a handsome New York townhouse runs like clockwork, until a last minute addition to the guest list threatens to derail it. While a stiff, formal reception at a city club with a groom who cares more for his colleagues than his bride-to-be sends warning signals to Faith.
Faith has come close to marriage twice – with disastrous consequences. She loves making magic happen for others, but believes it’s not for her. But the saying ‘never say never’ is true . . . and you know when it’s time to say ‘I do’.
In The Wedding Planner, the world’s favourite author, Danielle Steel, presents a heartfelt and uplifting story about the winding road to love and the many ways to find joy while staying true to oneself.

Ken Light: Course of the Empire
A decade ago, Ken Light traveled across the United States photographing the country, an empire he realized was the most fragile of organisms. The photographs of the earlier years in this book create the context for understanding how America lost its way. Light reached all four corners of the country to document people across race, class and political lines. We see the heartland and the coastal cities, Wall Street and rural small towns.As he continued, seismic changes erupted across America and the country descended into an age of crisis. He photographed protests and Washington politicians in Congress and the White House, climate change disasters and environmental defenders, the rise of the regime of Donald Trump, the Trump rallies and America’s reactions to it all. He comprehensively probed the fractured social and economic condition, going beyond the tropes of inequality we all recite by heart to create a visual portrait of a country mired in calamity, its people deeply splintered, angry and in pain.
The resulting portrait of the American social landscape is a riveting historical and visual record of a complicated country in a complicated time. It is compelling, and one of the earliest photographic accounts of an age that historians and citizens will be scrutinizing for generations to come.
Course of Empire is a hard and unsparing look at the United States in the last decade, a period marked by protest, political polarization, racialized violence, income inequality, climate change-induced disaster, and a deadly pandemic. In this series of black-and-white pictures made across the country, Light captures the divisiveness and collective insanity that characterized American life in the Trump era. He does not tread lightly. This bold and affecting work is an angry indictment of a country gone off the rails. –Erin O’Toole, Baker Street Foundation Associate Curator of Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Would you like to spend some quality time with your child that would also be a lot of fun?
1. While learning to play songs from this book on the piano, your child will develop finger motor skills and synchronize left and right hemispheres of the brain through simultaneous playing with both hands. These skills will teach coordination that is indispensable in everyday life situations, whether it is cooking, writing on paper, tying shoelaces, grabbing small objects, even closing the door and any other actions where finger work is involved.
2. During the learning process the child will develop an ear for music and improve memory. Just imagine – your child will be able to create own melodies, compose music and songs on his or her own and thoroughly enjoy it! They will be happy they could take part in the process of creating music!
3. The child will also develop a sense of rhythm and time. This, in turn, has a positive effect on the speech center of the brain as well as the smoothness of body movement in space. This can prove especially useful if your child might be engaged in dancing, running, rowing, or even regular walking – basically any physical activity where it is important to maintain the same rhythm for some time.
4. All of this will allow your child to accomplish various tasks in life much faster and better and be happier and more successful than others, which is what every parent wants for their child!
5. Additionally, playing the piano is really fun and cool! It is very satisfying and enjoyable!
Click Add to Cart or Buy Now, get the book and start learning – and having fun – right away!
The book contains 35 songs that are divided into two levels of difficulty (70 songs total).
- Level 1 – just the melody from the song (playing right hand only)
- Level 2 – melody + simple accompaniment (playing with both hands)
- All note names are written out (so you could start playing right away)
- Fingering is also provided for every song – this will keep the child from trying to play the music using one finger. Instead it teaches the child to use the correct sequences of fingers. This ensures proper development of all fingers allowing in the future to play more complicated pieces.
Additionally, if you would like to practice sight-reading music or if you would prefer to write down your own fingering, the book contains links to downloadable printed materials without the names of the notes and fingering.
Each song is accompanied by a QR code for the video (on YouTube) and audio (on Google Dick) of that song.

Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme: Drawing Course
- Two hundred lithographs that comprised a famous late nineteenth-century drawing course
- Introduces the work of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue
- Of interest to artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of art
The Bargue-Gérôme Drawing Course is a complete reprint of a famous, late nineteenth-century drawing course. It contains a set of almost two hundred masterful lithographs of subjects for copying by drawing students before they attempt drawing from life or nature. Consequently it is a book that will interest artists, art students, art historians, and lovers and collectors of drawings. It also introduces us to the work and life of a hitherto neglected master: Charles Bargue.
The Drawing Course consists of three sections. The first consists of plates drawn after casts, usually of antique examples. Different parts of the body are studied in order of difficulty, until full figures are presented. The second section pays homage to the western school of painting, with lithographs after exemplary drawings by Renaissance and modern masters. The third part contains almost 60 académies, or drawings after nude male models, all original inventions by Bargue, the lithographer. With great care, the student is introduced to continually more difficult problems in the close observing and recording of nature.
Charles Bargue started his career as a lithographer of drawings by hack artists for a popular market in comic, sentimental and soft-porn subjects. By working with Gérôme, and in preparing the plates for the course, Bargue was transformed into a spectacular painter of single figures and intimate scenes; a master of precious details that always remain observation and never became self-conscious virtuosity, and colour schemes that unified his composition in exquisite tonal harmonies. The last part of the book is a biography of Bargue, along with a preliminary catalogue of his paintings, accompanied by reproductions of all that have been found and of many of those lost.

Analog Photography: The Ultimate DIY Guide to Learn How to Develop Photographic Films for Film Photography
Develop Analog Black and White Films Yourself in less than 30 minutes
Many photographers are rediscovering analog photography, which is currently triggering a real trend. What is the appeal of analog photography? In 1888, the first roll films were produced industrially. Today, around 128 years later, we are already in the middle of the digital age with far more possibilities. Nevertheless, the old technology also has its advantages, which will definitely convince you.
The term analog photography refers to photography with an analog camera and film. A roll of film is inserted into the camera and the magic begins as soon as you press the shutter button, light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is captured. The images collected on the roll of film come to life when the film is developed in a photo darkroom.
Anyone who wants to work with analog photography over a longer period of time is advised to develop the self-exposed films themselves afterwards, at least as far as black and white films are concerned. You are rewarded with a high quality of the negatives, with extremely low development costs and of course with a lot of joy in the completely independent process.
This book will walk you through the process of how to develop analog films, even if you have no prior experience. You’ll learn about everything you need to develop your first film as well as how simple it is to develop black and white film at home.
Anyone who wants to learn more about how to develop black and white films for analog photography, whether you need a step by step walk through or just want to get started as a new hobby, should read this book. You’ll learn how simple it is to develop black-and-white film at home and how to start developing films with just a few required pieces of tools.
In this Analog Photography guide, you will discover:
- Everything about analog photography
- Advantages of analog photography
- Camera settings for analog photography
- How to edit analog photos
- Structure of black and white film
- Exposure and development of black and white film
- Composition of the image
- How to set up your own black and white photo darkroom
- Materials and equipment for photo darkroom
- How to develop your film
- How to determine the development time
- How to determine the fixing time
- How to prepare the developer
And much more…
Developing black and white film yourself is not only an interesting photography skill but also it gives you an absolutely fulfilling joy of bringing your own photos to life through development.
