The companion title to the award-winning The Art of Horror and The Art of Horror Movies, and from the same creative team behind those acclaimed illustrated volumes, this third title in the series looks at the sexy, sleazy, and sensational subject matter in books, magazines, comics, and movies, which helped to shape modern horror. Compiled by multiple award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with a foreword by prolific and acclaimed author Robert Silverberg, this visual history brings together insightful and revelatory comment from some of the genre's most highly esteemed experts.
For the privileged a cosmopolitan pleasure ground; for the desperate a port of last resort. A pot of gold at the end of an Oriental rainbow; a thick slice of hell denounced from the pulpit. The start of a journey for many; the end of the road for some. A place to find fame, or to seek anonymity; rogues, chancers, showgirls, criminals… For so many people from so many lands, there was one phrase that sent a tingle of hope or a shiver of anticipation down every spine: “DESTINATION SHANGHAI”
Emotion, risk, pain, love, patience, heat, joy... The sensations that unexpectedly assail the open-minded traveler who travels the world off the beaten track, are the basis of these unique stories. Fantastic landscapes as a stage, and its people as actors, help the author to weave his feelings with a simple and passionate prose. True stories that will undoubtedly delight many sofa travelers, but also many action travelers. The remote Tibet, the developed North America, the wild Africa, the Europe of the Iron Curtain or the young Australia, are the extraordinary continents that penetrate the soul of the author while the wind reaches his face, at the same time he discovers the world. An exciting reading that captures and invites the journey without prejudice, without borders, a reading with a moral, with the tricks of an expert adventurer and, above all, with the purest essence of the greatest adventure, life. http://interfolio.es/Actual/Entradas/2010/2/22_SIN_FRONTERAS.html
