Bunden i förelagets pappband med skyddsomslag. 526 sidor. Gott skick2011, Albert Bonnier, Lettland. I denna illustrerade biografi över Carl Larsson ger Per I. Gedin en levande och till stora delar ny bild av Sveriges mest populära konstnär. Från den svåra uppväxten, till de lyckliga åren i den franska konstnärsidyllen i Grèz, till storhetstiden i Sverige ? som dock innebar lika mycket motstånd som framgång. Människan Carl Larsson framträder i hela sin komplicerade personlighet, i ungdomsårens radikalism och de senare årens grubbel och kamp. Vi får följa konstnären Carl Larssons utveckling till vår största monumentalmålare och samtidig storproducent av lyckliga familjeidyller. Livet med hustrun Karin och deras gemensamma verksamhet som epokgörande heminredare i Sundborn skildras ingående, liksom deras livslånga kärlek till varandra. 1890-talets enastående kulturliv med författare, konstnärer och kulturpersonligheter bildar en effektfull bakgrund till skildringen.

Novela ganadora del premio La llave de cristal a la mejor novela policíaca escandinava, un galardón que comparte con Henning Mankell y Stieg Larsson. Ragnhild, una niña de seis años, desaparece sin dejar rastro. Mientras la policía, encabezada por el inspector Konrad Sejer, inicia la búsqueda de la pequeña, esta se encuentra jugando en casa de Raymond, un individuo algo retrasado que vive en el bosque con su padre. El caso parece resuelto cuando Ragnhild regresa a su casa sana y salva esa misma noche, pero en realidad la pesadilla no ha hecho más que empezar. La niña recuerda haber visto a una chica desnuda en la orilla del lago y la policía no tarda en descubrir el cadáver de Annie Holland. Al principio Sejer no cuenta con ninguna pista que explique el atroz asesinato, pero a medida que se suceden los interrogatorios va destapando el sórdido pasado de varios miembros de la pequeña comunidad noruega.

Deutsche Erstausgabe. 592 S. Die schwedische Bestsellerautorin Ãsa Larsson meldet sich endlich zurück! Ein grandioser neuer Fall für Staatsanwältin Rebecka Martinsson. Bitte hilf mir, Rebecka! Der Gerichtsmediziner Lars Pohjanen, der todkrank ist, bittet die Staatsanwältin Rebecka Martinsson, ihm zuliebe einen längst verjährten Mordfall wiederaufzunehmen. Aus purem Mitleid stimmt sie zu, auch wenn sie in Gedanken ganz woanders ist: Die beiden wichtigsten Männer in ihrem Leben - Krister, der Führer der Hundestaffel, und Mons, der smarte Jurist aus Stockholm - haben sich wütend von ihr abgewandt, nachdem Rebecka den einen mit dem anderen betrogen hat. Doch der Cold Case, dem sie sich zuwendet, benötigt ihre volle Aufmerksamkeit, denn er fördert Unheilvolles über ihre Heimatstadt Kiruna zutage. Aber vor allem zwingt er Rebecka, sich dem dunkelsten Kapitel ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit zu stellen Im letzten Band der gefeierten Rebecka-Martinsson-Reihe beweist Ãsa Larsson mit einer fulminanten Spannungshandlung, atmosphärischen Landschaftsbeschreibungen und einem faszinierenden Porträt Kirunas einmal mehr, dass sie Schwedens unangefochtene Queen of Crime ist. Der Roman wurde mit dem Schwedischen Krimipreis ausgezeichnet.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Color & B/W Plates (illustrator). Not Indicated. Originally titled "Fifty Paintings," this book has beautiful reproductions of artwork by Carl Larsson of Sweden. It has been out of print for several years but is back. Larsson's paintings detail daily life in Sweden from late 19th century-early 20th century. This book also has line drawings by Carl Larsson. Full-color art and black-and-white illustrations. 10-3/4" x 9-3/4" Larsson was born on May 28, 1853, in Prästgatan No. 78, a house on the Tyska Stallplan in Gamla stan, the old town in Stockholm. His parents were extremely poor, and his childhood was not happy. Carl's strong artistic talent had emerged early in his life. When he was 13 years old, his teacher at the school for the poor had persuaded him to apply for enrollment at Principskolan, the preparatory department of the Royal Art Academy. Renate Puvogel, in her book Larsson, gives detailed information about Carl's life: "His mother was thrown out of the house, together with Carl and his brother Johan; after enduring a series of temporary dwellings, the family moved into Grev Magnigränd No. 7 (later No. 5) in what was then Ladugårdsplan, present-day Östermalm". As a rule, each room was home to three families; "penury, filth and vice thrived there, leisurely seethed and smouldered, eaten-away and rotten bodies and souls. Such an environment is the natural breeding ground for cholera", he wrote in his autobiographical novel Me (Jag, Stockholm, 1931, p. 21). Carl's father worked as a casual laborer, sailed as a stoker on a ship headed for Scandinavia, and lost the lease to a nearby mill, only to end up there later as a mere grain carrier. Larsson portrays him as a loveless man lacking self-control; he drank, ranted and raved, and incurred lifelong anger of his son through his outburst, "I curse the day you were born". In contrast, Carl's endlessly working mother provided for their everyday needs through her job as a laundress.[2] Carl's artistic talent was probably inherited from his grandfather on his mother's side, who was a painter by trade. However, at the age of thirteen, his teacher Jacobsen, at the school for poor children urged him to apply to the "principskola" of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and he was admitted. During his first years there, Larsson felt socially inferior, confused, and shy.[1] In 1869, at the age of sixteen, he was promoted to the "antique school" of the same academy. There Larsson gained confidence, and even became a central figure in student life. Carl earned his first medal in nude drawing. In the meantime, Larsson worked as a caricaturist for the humorous paper Kasper and as graphic artist for the newspaper Ny Illustrerad Tidning. His annual wages were sufficient to allow him to help his parents out financially. Frukost under stora björken ("Breakfast under the big birch"), 1896 Christmas Eve (1904?1905) After several years working as an illustrator of books, magazines, and newspapers, Larsson moved to Paris in 1877, where he spent several frustrating years as a hardworking artist without any success. Larsson was not eager to establish contact with the French progressive Impressionists; instead, along with other Swedish artists, he cut himself off from the radical movement of change. After spending two summers in Barbizon, the refuge of the plein-air painters, he settled down with his Swedish painter colleagues in 1882 in Grez-sur-Loing, at a Scandinavian artists' colony outside Paris. It was there that he met the artist Karin Bergöö, who soon became his wife. This was to be a turning point in Larsson's life. In Grez, Larsson painted some of his most important works, now in watercolour and very different from the oil painting technique he had previously employed. Carl and Karin Larsson had eight children and his family became Larsson's favourite models. Many of his watercolours are now popular all over the world. Their eight children included Suzanne (1884), Ulf (1887, who.
