During the latter part of the nineteenth century, so-called esoteric movements became increasingly popular in cultural and intellectual circles in Europe, not least in Sweden. Secret teachings, rituals and practices in alchemy, astrology, occultism and theosophy were predominant, with a belief in correspondences in the cosmos, living nature and transmutations. But esotericism goes back much further in time in Swedish history. Although such esoteric ideas were long considered heresy by the Church and thus driven underground, they have had a significant impact on Swedish culture.<br/><br/>In this anthology, we bring together some of Sweden s foremost experts on the subject to explore the history of esotericism in Sweden and how its rituals, practices and traditions came to influence writers and artists such as August Strindberg, Selma Lagerlöf, Viktor Rydberg, Hilma af Klint, Tyra Kleen and Carl Milles.

Taken by Keith's 'assistant', Spanish Tony, these never-seen-before images show the Rolling Stones relaxing in French villas; chilling at Keith's country pile; playing in concerts and TV specials and giving an intimate insight to life on the road. <br/><br/> From 1969 to 1973, Tony Sanchez was part of the band's inner circle. He was their unofficial photographer during a fertile and eventful creative period that saw the release of the likes of Beggar's Banquet, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street. He captured the band members during moments of rest and play... and there was a lot of both. <br/><br/>This is the first collection of an incredible archive that unveils a previously unseen history and offers an intimate portrait that every Stones fan will adore. With over 200 images and context provided by respected music journalist and Stones expert Simon Goddard, Just a Shot Away is an illustrated music book like no other.
