Tales of my heart
Never forget who you are and where you came from
|| Hardcover || Letitcia Stoc || Brave New Books
When I was little I started writing stories about how I felt.
I wrote for hours sometimes days.
Sometimes I couldn't seem to find the words.
But after all, they came along.
I have been writing for a very long time.
So I decided to share a few stories online.
I decided I wanted to make a book,
with all the stories and poems I wrote.
I call them the tales of my heart because
everything that I write, comes directly from the heart.
Some are deep, some are not.
Some are serious and some funny.

The legacy of Leigh Bowery
King of Queer
2023 || Hardcover || Bamber Delver || Brave New Books
In 1988 Dutch journalist Bamber Delver interviewed Leigh Bowery. By then, Leigh wasn’t world-famous yet but a well-known clubber in the underground-scene of London.

Monet
The Restless Vision
2022 || Hardcover || Jackie Wullschlager || Veltman Distributie Import Books
A magnificent new biography of the founder of Impressionism
In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Misunderstood and mocked at the beginning of his career, he risked everything to pursue his original vision. Although close to starvation when he invented impressionism on the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s, in the following decades he emerged as the powerful leader of the new pain...

Monet's Trees
Paintings and Drawings by Claude Monet
2024 || Hardcover || Ralph Skea || Van Ditmar Boeken B.V.
'I perhaps owe it to flowers', wrote Claude Monet (1840-1926), 'that I became a painter.' One of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement and perhaps the most celebrated landscape painter of his age, Monet dedicated his life to capturing the subtleties of the natural world. Trees - willows enveloped in the eerie mists of the Seine, palm trees beneath the bright Mediterranean sun or poplars heavily laden with snow - became a significant motif in his work, and he used them to experimen...

2012 || Hardcover || J.F. Heijbroek || Thoth, Uitgeverij
Living for Art is the life story of the eminent Dutch collector, art dealer, researcher and author Frits Lugt (1884-1970).

While he collected great masters like Rembrandt, Dürer, Rubens, Van Dyck and Watteau, he did not neglect other artists and acquired some outstanding works ...

LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF THE HEART
2023 || Hardcover || Elian Bittencourt || Bookmundo.pt
Listening to the Voice of the Heart is an invitation to revisit your self-image, values, and to recognize your hidden desires, your secret dreams. At the same time, it brings the romanticism of one who inhabits their own dream and recognizes their weaknesses without dwelling in them.
It is an appeal to sensitivity, whether in artistic creation and appreciation, or in attention to affection and the beauty of everyday life.
I hope that by diving into these thought pills each reader can revisit ...
