Tim Slade Bücher

Im letzten Jahrzehnt haben sich die großen Mercedes-Benz Limousinen und vor allem die viersitzigen Coupes und Cabriolets der 60er-und frühen 70er-Jahre zu den beliebtesten Klassikern auf dem Markt für Liebhaberfahrzeuge entwickelt - man betrachtet nur die astronomischen Preise, die heute für ein Mercedes Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet verlangt und bezahlt werden. Grund genug, sich den miteinander eng verwandten Baureihen W 108/109, W 111. im neuesten Band der maßstabsetzenden Buchreihe „Das Original“ ausführlich zu widmen. Wie gewohnt werden perfekt restaurierte oder erhaltene Exemplare dieser fahrzeuge in hunderten brillanter Detailbilder vorgestellt, um den angestrebten Originalzustand zu dokumentieren. Kompetenter Text und eine Fülle wertvoller Informationen über Ausstattungen, Werkspezifikationen und Modifikationen während der Produktionszeit machen auch diesen Band zum verbindlichen Nachschlagewerk- unentbehrlich für Besitzer, Restaurierer und Fans dieser Fahrzeuge.

What is it that turns a car into a classic car? Age, styling, technology - or all of these combined. With a clear and concise history of car manufacturing and design all over the world, it takes you through the ages, giving an insight into why these cars are deemed to be 'classic'.

In her latest collection of poems Jo Slade continues her investigation of displacement and difference and illustrates how these experiences can be transformed through poetry, a transformation that is not so much redemptive, as prophetic. These are inquisitive, sonorous, intense poems that draw us into a world where actuality and dream collide, where loneliness, grief and resilience are innate. Informed by history and personal memory, Jo Slade propels us forward, from the title poem, Cycles and Lost Monkeys, with its dark specter of surveillance, to the final section where we are confronted by the consequences of indifference to authoritarianism.As the judges of the Michael Hartnett Poetry Prize 2014 commented in their citation regarding Jo Slade's winning collection The Painter's House (Salmon Poetry, 2013), "spareness, together with a painter's ability to step back from the canvas, to detach, to allow light to fall on the object, is one of the great strengths of her work.There is grief here, and there is fortitude. The world in these poems is often edged with mystery, the unknowable, but the poems enact, over and over again, a sureness that we belong in this world."
