Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed only with his poetic sensibility, Petr Král sets out to explore our relationship with the places that we inhabit, and with the apparently unremarkable everyday objects which often inform and enrich our lives. Král bears witness to Flaubert's observation that "in order for something to become interesting, we simply have to look at it for a long time". He reveals, not only the inner life—the very essence—of mundane objects and places, but also simple yet profound truths about ourselves. Pushkin Collection editions feature a spare, elegant series style and superior, durable components. The Collection is typeset in Monotype Baskerville, litho-printed on Munken Premium White Paper and notch-bound by the independently owned printer TJ International in Padstow.

Book excerpt: A delightful feat by an imaginative subconscious, this book is an assembly of poetry inspired by different women the author encountered while searching for his life companion. The poems have a coherent theme, which is the appreciation of feminine attributes and beauty. A deeper understanding of the poet's motivation emerges by reading the verses successively. The book climaxes with a narration of an enlightening epiphany into the inner nature and source of attraction to feminine beauty, (with glossary).

Steve McCurry is known for creating some of the most iconic images of recent times and in this new collection, he shares previously unseen photographs from his incredibly rich archive.

Each image is reproduced at large format and in remarkable detail and this new compilation reveals the incredible depth of his work. "I compare photography to food, air, and sleep... this creative energy, this impulse, is what gives us purpose, pleasure, joy, happiness and love."Steve McCurry Also available: Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures
