Roots of Chaos Box Set [Bok / Övrigt]

Legend has it that when preparing props for the James Bond film <i>Live and Let Die</i>, producer <b>Albert Broccoli commissioned Surrealist maestro Salvador Dalí to create a custom deck of tarot cards</b>. Inspired by his wife Gala, who nurtured his interest in mysticism, Dalí eagerly got to work, and continued the project of his own accord when the contractual deal fell through.<br/><br/> The work was published in a<b> limited art edition in 1984</b> that has since long sold out, making Dalí<b> the first renowned painter to create a completely new set of cards</b>. Drawing on Western masterpieces from antiquity to modernity (including some of his own), <b>Dalí seamlessly combined his knowledge of the arcane with his unmistakable wit</b>. The result is <b>a surreal kaleidoscope of European art history</b>.<br/><br/> TASCHEN resurrects all<b> 78 cards </b>in a fresh celebration of Dalí's inimitable custom set, complete with<b> a booklet by renowned German tarot author Johannes Fiebig </b>offering an <b>introduction to Dalí's life</b> and the project's making-of, a <b>comprehensive explanation of each card</b>'s composition, its meaning, and practical advice, <b>step-by-step instructions</b> on how to perform readings, and a<b> jargon-free approach</b> simplifying tarot for the newcomer.

Sweet Valley Twins- First Place 6-Copy Pre-Pack With Merchandising Kit [Bok / Övrigt]

The best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road returns with a two-volume masterpiece in an artfully designed box set. The Passenger is a fast-paced and sprawling novel while Stella Maris is a tightly controlled coda, told entirely in dialogue. Together they relate the thrilling story of a brother and sister, haunted by loss, pursued by conspiracy, and longing for a death they cannot reconcile with God.<br/><br/>The Passenger 1980, PASS CHRISTIAN, MISSISSIPPI: It is three in the morning when Bobby Western, a salvage diver, zips the jacket of his wet suit and plunges from the boat deck into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the crash site are the pilot's flight bag, the plane's black box, and the tenth passenger. But how? A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit-by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.<br/><br/>Stella Maris 1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western is twenty years old when she arrives at a psychiatric facility with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers.
