Henri Cartier-Bresson
The definitive biography of the greatest photographer of modern times - a vital addition to the library of everyone with an interest in photography. Henri Cartier-Bresson was the eye of the 20th century. His lens chronicled the decisive moments of his time – from Chinese communist victories to the Spanish Civil War and the Liberation of Paris. A co-founder of Magnum Photos, Cartier-Bresson produced unparalleled portraits of his contemporaries, capturing the spirit of Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and William Faulkner. Cartier-Bresson took Pierre Assouline into his confidence over a number of years, detailing his youthful devotion to surrealism, lifelong passion for drawing, and experiences of war and prison camps. This sensitive biography emerges from a meeting of two minds, revealed with the same truth as one of Cartier Bresson’s photographs.

Henri Bergson - tiden och intuitionens filosof, E-bok
För hundra år sedan var Henri Bergson utan tvekan världens mest kända filosof. Bergsonianismen blev en kulturell och filosofisk rörelse med ett stort inflytande i vetenskapliga, kulturella och konstnärliga sammanhang. Bergson ville med sin filosofi visa på naturvetenskapens begränsningar och att den speciellt kom till korta när det gällde att förstå det levande, medvetandet och det specifikt mänskliga.Henri Bergson fick nobelpriset i litteratur 1927. Skälet var att Nobelkommittén ansåg att han i en materialistisk tidsålder hävdade andens självständighet och att han i sina skrifter visade att han var en stor konstnär och en av den franska prosans yppersta mästare. I förhållande till alla stora rörelser skapas motkrafter. Dessa motkrafter blev så starka speciellt under 30-talet att Bergsonianismen undertrycktes och nästan tynade bort.Det finns nu ett stort förnyat intresse för Bergson och i boken visas att det i hans filosofi finns bärande idéer som vi i vår tid är i stort behov av. De vetenskapsteoretiska verktyg som Henri Bergson förser oss med är ovärderliga och fullt användbara när vi skall förhålla oss till dagens frågeställningar och problemområden. De bildar dessutom ett nödvändigt och livgivande alternativ till de mekanistiska metoder som den moderna digitaliseringen förser oss med. Vårt inre liv, våra känslor och vår existens blir i allt större utsträckning utsatt för den digitaliserade process som pressar allt in i ettorna och nollornas trånga ramar.

Om Tiden och den fria viljan av Henri Bergson, E-bok
Nyskrivet förord av fil.dr i filosofi på Stockholms universitet Anna Petronella Foultier till Henri Bergsons Tiden och den fria viljan. Om Tiden och den fria viljan: »Bergsons teori om tiden som nuflöde är enligt min uppfattning ett av de mest betydelsefulla, om än oftast förbisedda, bidragen till den samtida filosofin.« Emmanuel Levinas Den franske filosofen Henri Bergson hade stort inflytande på författare, vetenskapsmän och tänkare under slutet av 1800-talet och första halvan av 1900-talet. Han vände sig mot en äldre filosofitradition och hävdade att verkligheten visserligen måste förstås vetenskapligt, men att utgångspunkten i kvantitativ analys får oss att misskänna dess subjektiva dimension. I sitt mest kända verk, Tiden och den fria viljan [1889], undersöker Bergson hur »omedelbara medvetenhetsfakta« framträder i det nuflöde som är mer grundläggande än rummet och kännetecknas av kvalitativ förändring. Människan är ett slags förtätning av allt hon har levt, och genom att omfatta sin historia i en skapande akt kan hon uttrycka sin frihet. Trots sin djupa skepsis mot språket var Bergson en populär författare, ett slags intellektuell superstjärna med världsrykte. Han belönades med Nobelpriset i litteratur 1927. I svensk översättning av Algot Ruhe, bearbetad av Jenny Sylvan. HENRI BERGSON föddes i Paris 1859. Som filosof intresserade han sig särskilt för gränsområdet mellan vetenskap och metafysik. 1914 valdes han som den första juden in i Franska akademien. Han avled 1941, enligt legenden av en förkylning som han ådrog sig när han köade för att bli registrerad som jude av ockupationsmakten, trots att Vichyregeringen velat undanta honom från de nya lagarna.
