Como romancista, crítico de arte e historiador da cultura, John Berger é um escritor de eloqüência deslumbrante e uma compreensão fascinante, cuja obra se torna uma crítica sutil e poderosa dos cânones de nossa civilização. Em Sobre o olhar ele explora nosso papel como observadores para revelar novas camadas de significado naquilo que vemos. Como é que os animais que contemplamos em zoológicos nos recordam uma relação entre animal e fera totalmente perdida no século XX? O que, quando olhamos fotografias de guerra, duplica sua violência já tão grande? Como é que os nus de Rodin revelam as ameaças que argila e carne representam à autoridade dele e sua potência? E como é que a solidão fundamenta a arte de Giacometti? Fazendo essas perguntas, e outras mais, Berger altera de maneira serena - mas fundamental - a visão de todos os que lêem sua obra.
It?s 1950, and Stan Wade, L.A. PI, is working on his first case: recovering the stolen manuscript of a new Sam Spade novel by Dashiell Hammett. This epic hunt will last for a decade, and before it?s over will involve Humphrey Bogart, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alfred Hitchcock, Mickey Cohen, Robert Bloch, stripper Candy Barr, and a sleazy nightclub owner named Jack Ruby. Will Stan survive to put all the pieces of this crazy-quilt case together? It?s bullets, volcanoes, espionage, romance, humor, double-crosses, and pop culture references galore as Stan Wade races through another fast-moving, action-packed caper. John Hegenberger?s SPADEFALL is the latest entry in one of the best new private eye series in years and pure reading entertainment. Trying to keep up with Stan Wade is some of the most fun you?ll ever have in the pages of a book!
