100 Dikter
Till Lindemann är för de flesta känd som sångare och textförfattare i Rammstein, men har sedan tjugo år tillbaka även ägnat sig åt att skriva lyrik. Med sina ofta korta och vassa dikter träffar han läsaren direkt och överraskar ofta.Till Lindemann skapar något nytt och originellt utifrån den tyska romantiska dikttraditionen där bland annat natur, kropp, kärlek, djur, död och sexualitet är viktiga komponenter. Han leker med de klassiska diktformerna, folkmusiktraditioner och rim, och skapar utifrån det en alldeles egen ton.Det är nu som vårt vi försvinnerNu då inga tårar längre rinnerStadig arm och vackert benMen inga ögonGråter som en stenOch inget hjärta

Stilla Nätter - Dikter
Till Lindemann är för de flesta känd som sångare (och textförfattare) i Rammstein. Mindre känd är han för att under tjugo år ha skrivit lyrik dikter, varav några få har blivit låtar, men de allra flesta lever sitt eget liv. Nästan förbigående klingar de högst häpnadsväckande, dock rytmiska och musikalisk noggranna texterna, i vilka ett djupsinnigt, retligt, sårbart lyrisk Jag träder in i en intim tvåspråkighet med läsaren. Därunder ljuder dikterna som Alexander Gorkow skriver i det tyska förordet som om de i kalla nätter har ristats ut ur isen , men också i sådan vemod, längtan och känslosinne.Denna utgåva har liksom den tyska, utgiven av Alexander Gorkow som 2012 vann det tyska Journalistpriset för sitt reportage om Rammsteins USA-turné i Süddeutschen Zeitung, en rad svartvita illustrationer av konstnären Matthias Matthies.

The Book of Miracles. 45th Ed.
The Book of Miracles first surfaced several ago and is one of the most spectacular discoveries in the field of Renaissance art. The near-complete illustrated manuscript, created in Augsburg around 1550, is composed of 169 pages of large-format illustrations in gouache and watercolor, depicting wondrous and often eerie phenomena. The mesmerizing images deal with both biblical and folkloric tales, depicting stories from the Old Testament and Book of Revelation as well as events that took place in the immediate present of the manuscript’s author. From shooting stars to swarms of locusts, terrifying monsters to fatal floods, page after page hypnotizes with visions alternately dreadful, spectacular, and even apocalyptic. This volume presents the revelatory Book of Miracles in a new, compact format, making this extraordinary document accessible to everyone. It comes with a translation of the manuscript texts and an essay that gives an introduction to the cultural and historical context of
