Fashion: Yohji Yamamoto
Als einer der intellektuellsten Designer der Modebranche entwirft Yohji Yamamoto Kleidung, die manchmal etwas verkopft wirkt. Sie ist aber immer wunderschön. Die Archive des Modemagazins i-D bieten einen Einblick in Yohjis Gedankenwelt seit den 1990ern. Es geht um seine Bewunderung für die weibliche Form, den schmerzhaften Prozess, aus Mode Anti-Mode zu machen, und um die Frage, wie er es schafft, dass seine zeitlosen nützlichen Designs gleichzeitig klassisch und avantgardistisch sind. Dieser Band mit 120 Seiten enthält biografische und persönliche Informationen, Bilder von Fotografen wie Paolo Roversi, Max Vadukal und Nick Knight sowie Interviews mit Jamie Huckbody, Holly Shackleton und Terry Jones.

Hector und das Wunder der Freundschaft
Hector ist ein ziemlich guter Psychiater in Paris. Oft kommen Menschen in seine Praxis, weil sie keine Freunde mehr haben. Was ist bloß aus der Freundschaft geworden, fragt Hector sich gerade, als er erfährt, dass sein allerbester Freund unvorstellbar viel Geld gestohlen haben soll. Und weil Hector nicht nur ein ziemlich guter Psychiater ist, sondern auch ein erstklassiger Freund, steckt er schon kurz darauf mittendrin in einem großen Abenteuer. Das führt ihn nicht nur durch zahlreiche Länder Südostasiens, sondern auch zu der Frage, was Freundschaft ihm eigentlich bedeutet – und warum sie für alle Menschen so überaus wichtig ist.

Die Ordnung der Zeit
Warum stehen wir mit den Füßen auf dem Boden? Newton meinte, weil sich Massen anziehen, Einstein sagte, weil sich die Raumzeit krümmt. Carlo Rovelli hat eine andere Erklärung: vielleicht ja deshalb, weil es uns immer dorthin zieht, wo die Zeit am langsamsten vergeht. Wenn, ja wenn es so etwas wie Zeit überhaupt gibt.
Kaum etwas interessiert theoretische Physiker von Rang so sehr wie der Begriff der Zeit. Seit Einstein sie mit dem Raum zur Raumzeit zusammengepackt und der Gravitation unterworfen hat, wird sie von großen Physikern wie Stephen Hawking und Carlo Rovelli umrätselt. Wenn es ums Elementare geht, darum, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält, kommen Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft in den Formeln der großen Theorien zwar nicht mehr vor. Aber geht es wirklich ohne die Zeit? Um diese Frage dreht sich das neue, aufregende Buch des italienischen Ausnahme-Physikers.
Leben wir in der Zeit oder lebt die Zeit vielleicht nur in uns? Warum der physikalische Zeitbegriff immer weiter verschwimmt, je mehr man sich ihm nähert, warum es im Universum keine allgemeine Gegenwart gibt, warum die Welt aus Geschehnissen besteht und nicht aus Dingen und warum wir Menschen dennoch gar nicht anders können, als ein Zeitbewusstsein zu entwickeln: Rovelli nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise durch unsere Vorstellungen von der Zeit und spürt ihren Regeln und Rätseln nach. Ein großes, packend geschriebenes Lese-Abenteuer, ein würdiger Nachfolger des Welt-Bestsellers "Sieben kurze Lektionen über Physik".

The House at Bishopsgate
From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes a haunting, magical story set in 17th century London, perfect for fans of Jessie Burton and Elif Shafak
1611. Celia Lamprey looks out across the rooftops of Aleppo for the last time. After ten years living in the Orient, she and her husband, Paul Pindar, are setting sail for England - taking with them the legendary diamond, the Sultan's Blue, despite the curse that surrounds it.
They arrive to find a country much changed; Bishopsgate, once surrounded by fields, is now a muddy thoroughfare choked with carriages - from which carpenters, gardeners and footmen descend, summoned to restore Pindar's great house to its former splendour. But all is not as it seems. Celia is frail, and the marriage childless. Between the couple lies a great, unspoken darkness. Now, as they await the arrival of Celia's friend Annetta from Venice, another woman, the alluring widow Frances Sydenham, becomes increasingly indispensable to the running of the household - and the happiness of its inhabitants.
But who is this strange woman, and what are her real motives?
Vividly evoking Jacobean society, The House at Bishopsgate is a sumptuous, richly woven story of marital secrets and sexual jealousy, from a master of historical fiction.

Maybe Esther
The poignant, searching, haunting story of one family's entanglement with twentieth-century history
AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
`Intensely involving ... a fervent meditation on love and loss, with a remarkable cast of characters' Financial Times
`Rich, intriguing ... Maybe Esther calls to mind the itinerant style of W. G. Sebald' Guardian
`Unflinchingly potent ... Revolutionaries, war heroes, teachers and phantoms populate these magnetic pages' Irish Independent
Katja Petrowskaja's family story is inextricably entangled with the history of twentieth-century Europe. There is her great-uncle, who shot a German diplomat in Moscow in 1932 and was sentenced to death. There is her Ukrainian grandfather, who disappeared during World War II and reappeared forty years later. And there is her great-grandmother - whose name may or may not have been Esther - who was too old and frail to leave Kiev when the Jews there were rounded up, and was killed by a Nazi outside her house.
Taking the reader from Berlin to Warsaw, to Moscow, to Kiev, from Google searches, strange encounters and coincidences to archives, anecdotes and jokes, Katja Petrowskaja undertakes a journey in search of her own place in past and present, memory and history, languages and countries. The result is Maybe Esther - a singular, haunting, unforgettable work of literature.

The Autumn of the Patriarch
As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbean nation creep through the dusty corridors of the presidential palace in search of their tyrannical leader, they cannot comprehend that the frail and withered man laying dead on the floor can be the self-styled General of the Universe. Their egocentric, maniacally violent leader, known for serving up traitors to dinner guests and drowning young children at sea, can surely not die the humiliating death of a mere mortal? Tracing the demands of a man whose egocentric excesses mask the loneliness of isolation and whose lies have become so ingrained that they are indistinguishable from truth, Marquez has created a fantastical portrait of despotism that rings with an air of reality.

Moby Dick
The frail gunwales bent in, collapsed, and snapped, as both jaws, like an enormous shears, sliding further aft, bit the craft completely in twain...' "Moby-Dick" is one of the most expansive feats of imagination in the whole of literature: the mad, raging, Shakespearean tale of Captain Ahab's insane quest to kill a giant white whale that has taken his leg, and upon which he has sworn vengeance, at any cost. A creation unlike any other, this is an epic story of fatal monomania and the deepest dreams and obsessions of mankind. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Berserk 12
The Band of the Hawks' rescue of their leader, Griffith, has brought them no ease. Broken beyond healing, a frail ghost of his former glory, Griffith is now more an object of pity than a man, and the Hawks, who've grimly hung together under duress and death during his absence, are now on the verge of splintering to the winds. But Griffith's dreams and ambitions, built on the bodies of his troops and the countless enemies they have slain, have not gone unnoticed in the spirit realm, and though Griffith has nowhere to go as a man, he may yet have a future . . . a future borne on jet-black wings in the company of the demon lords of the Godhand!

Design to Grow : How Coca-Cola Learned to Combine Scale and Agility (and How You Can, Too)
Tomorrow's business winners need two things: scale and agility. The answer to both is design. For over a century, The Coca-Cola Company has used design to scale its flagship brand to over 200 countries. And in recent years it has sustained that growth while becoming even more agile - something most established businesses struggle with. In Design to Grow, Coca-Cola's vice president of Innovation and Entrepreneurship David Butler gives an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Coca-Cola's design-led strategy for growth. He shows how any business can use the same approach to get to the next level. Clear and actionable, this book is a must-read for leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs. "A handy blueprint for how any company can use design to stay ahead of the competition." (The Times). "Reading Design to Grow has caused me to think differently about my company. I am confident it will do the same for how you think about yours." (Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO).
