Complete in two hardcover volumes. xv 1 684 xxxii 2; xxi 1 555 1 lxiii 5 pp. 8vo. These books established Julia Child as an important culinary author and led to a career owing to which she is known as one of the most influential chefs in American history. The first originally released in 1961 features a broad survey of techniques and recipes while the second volume released 9 years later more completely covers certain topics discussed in the first book. "Volume One contains 524 recipes for the savory delights of French cuisine from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Volume Two presents a brilliant selection of 257 additional recipes that not only add to the home cook's repertoire but above all bring them to a new level of mastery. Taken together these two books are a stunning feat of cookbook literature and Julia Child's most beloved works. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books

2025réf. 216047London: Sternberg Press 2025. Softcover. VG. Sixteenmo. Softcover. Illustrated wraps with white black and yellow titles. 167 pages : color illustrations ; 16 cm. Hans Ulrich Obrist leads readers into the world of path-breaking Syrian artist Simone Fattal in this intensely personal volume. For over five decades Simone Fattal b. 1942 Damascus has eschewed singular form or subject in her wide-ranging artistic practice. In this deeply personal biography Fattal's close friend and confidante Hans Ulrich Obrist journeys with the artist across physical borders and through seats of imagination. Together they discuss the artist's remarkable early life in Syria her coming-of-age in Lebanon as well as her transcultural life in France. Wartime memory and exile in California sow the seed for discussions regarding archaeology history and mythology. Beginning her artistic life as a painter in 1969 Fattal initially created sensuous abstract works that diverged from the predominantly figurative paintings commonly exhibited in Lebanon at the time. In 1980 after a decade spent in Lebanon Fattal fled the ongoing civil war departing from painting eventually settling in Sausalito California where she founded the revolutionary publishing house Post-Apollo Press. In 1988 after studying sculpture in San Francisco Fattal was consumed by another wave of creativity that led her to pursue the creation of ambitious ceramic sculpture--a medium in which she continues to work in to this day from her studio in Paris. Prose and interviews between Fattal and Obrist are annotated and introduced by Dr. Omar Kholeif whose essay helps situate Fattal's multiple creative journeys. An afterword by author curator and filmmaker Rasha Salti entitled "Warrior Women Fall From a Low Height" pulses both in its lyricism and its expressive desire to solder and suture histories once fractious back together.

2024réf. 215979Frankfurt am Main / Berlin: Portikus / Hatje Cantz 2024. Softcover. As new. Quarto. Softcover. Translucent white wraps with illustrated green belly band. 226 pages : illustrations chiefly color ; 26 cm 6 supplemental prints 20 x 14 cm. Parallel texts in English and German. Influenced by her experiences of war and migration Simone Fattal has transcended the boundaries of both media and geography like few other artists of her generation. In her collages she combines pieces from her private archive with historical events in the Arab world. Made up of individual parts and reassembled these works suggest the fragility of an identity shaped by migration. Her more abstract ceramic sculptures reference ancient myths and archaeological finds. Fattal's first solo exhibition in Germany is accompanied by the artist's first comprehensive monograph which combines essays by long-time companions with new scholarly contributions by international authors.
