Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the summer of 1978, twenty-one-year-old Paul Wilson jumps at the chance to join two local icons on a dream surf trip to mainland Mexico, unaware their ultimate destination lies in the heart of drug cartel country. Having no earthly idea of where he'll get the money to pay his share, and determined to prove his mettle, he does the only thing he can think of: He robs a supermarket. And, if karma didn't already have enough reason to doom the trip, he soon learns one of his companions is a convicted killer on the run, and the other an unscrupulous cad. Mishap and misfortune rule the days, and mere survival takes precedence over surfing.Original photographs (including pre-kingpin El Chapo), and Wilson's strong narrative style, combine to make this true story personal-in the tradition of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, and Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Che Guevara-except this tale had to wait for the statute of limitations to expire before it could be told.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - LA VERDADERA HISTORIA DE UN VIAJE INFERNAL A MÉXICO En el verano de 1978, Paul Wilson, de veintiún años, aprovecha la oportunidad de unirse a dos iconos locales en un viaje de surf de ensueño a México continental, sin saber que su destino final se encuentra en el corazón de los cárteles de la droga. Sin tener la menor idea de dónde sacará el dinero para pagar su parte del viaje, y decidido a demostrar su valor, hace lo único que se le ocurre: roba un supermercado. Y, por si el karma no tuviera ya suficientes motivos como para condenar el viaje, pronto se entera de que uno de sus acompañantes es un asesino convicto a la fuga y el otro un canalla sin escrúpulos. El infortunio y las desgracias imperan en el viaje, y la mera supervivencia se antepone a la práctica del surf. Fotografías originales (entre ellas la de un joven El Chapo), y el intenso estilo narrativo de Wilson, se combinan para recrear esta historia real y personal -en la línea de Hacia rutas salvajes de Jon Krakauer, y Diarios de motocicleta de Che Guevara-, salvo que esta historia tuvo que esperar a que vencieran los distintos plazos de prescripción para poder ser contada.…

Häftad, dek. omslag. Fint skick. Malmö, Malmö konstmuseum & Stockholm, Waldemarsudde, 2000. 4:o. 112 sid. Illustrerad i färg. Utställning (236 nummer) på Malmö konstmuseum 6 februari-26 mars 2000 och på Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, Stockholm 8 april-4 juni 2000, i samarbete med Philippe Eternod och Jean-David Mermod. - - - (Förord:) "Philippe Eternods och Jean-David Mermods samling Art Brut-konst har tillkommit under de senaste tio åren och befinner sig i ständig tillväxt. Kärnan i deras samling utgörs av ett stort antal teckningar av den schweiziske konstnären Louis Soutter som Jean-David Mermod ärvde efter sin farfar. De båda samlarna var till att börja med studiekamrater vid universitetet i Lausanne och 1990 gjorde de sitt första gemensamma inköp. Aret därpå gav de två vännerna sitt samlande en mer målinriktad prägel i form av ett gemensamt projekt. Deras oförtröttliga samlargärning präglas av ett brinnande intresse parat med stor entusiasm och ungdomlig iver. 'Vårt mål är att dela vår passion, med alla dess fel och brister, med andra' säger Mermod och samlingen har redan visats på flera utställningar. En av de mer betydande ägde rum 1997 på Site de la Creation Franche i Bégles, Frankrike. - - - Otvivelaktigt är det så att den schweiziska staden Lausanne blivit ett centrum för Art Brut-konsten. I staden finns, förutom Eternod-Mermod-samlingen även Collection de I'Art Brut med en kärnsamling grundad av Jean Dubuffet. Denna samling startade 1976 sin verksamhet som offentligt museum och forskningscentrum. Detta faktum ger Eternod-Mermods samling en styrka men ställer samtidigt krav på samlingens kvalitet. l Sverige har två större utställningar med Art Brut-konst anordnats tidigare: 'De gåtfulla. Outsiders i konsten' på Liljevalchs konsthall 1980 och 'Särlingar' på Malmö konsthall 1991. Att det nu åter blir aktuellt med en utställning av det här slaget känns mycket glädjande. Både på Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde och Malmö konstmuseum finns ett rikt material bestående av sjukdomsverk av de båda svenska konstnärerna Carl Fredrik Hill och Ernst Josephson. På Waldemarsudde anordnades dessutom 1991 en utställning benämnd 'Skapande patienter. Bilder ur Karolinska Institutets psykiatriska samling'. Dessa två museer kan nu genom ett generöst tillmötesgående från Philippe Eternod och Jean-David Mermod visa en stor utställning med särlingskonst. Det är en mångfasetterad utställning innehållande 236 verk av 34 olika konstnärer, bl.a. Aloïse, Benjamin Bonjour, Paul Duhem, Madge Gill, Ted Gordon, Louis Soutter, Scottie Wilson och Adolf Wölfli. Utanförskapet och i en del fall sjukdomen tycks vara det som präglat dessa sinsemellan mycket olika konstnärsindivider. De flesta av dem är helt självlärda och de har skapat verk som är starkt präglade av deras besatthet och egensinne långt ifrån 'finkulturens' etablerade domäner.".…

8vo, engraved frontispiece after H. Richter, and pp. xxvii, [i], 229; a bit foxed but otherwise a good copy in contemporary (possibly original) plum-coloured cloth, a little worn. First and only edition. John Minter Morgan (1782-1854) inherited a fortune when a young man, and dedicated his life to furthering the co-operative movement, and principles derived from Robert Owen. This is a highly political poem, with a provocative preface: the verse itself discusses the unjust distribution of wealth, the state of political economy, 'corrupted Christianity', Owen's system, and the position of the monarch in relation to politics. A whole section (pp. 73-99) concentrates on contemporary poets, in particular that of Shelley: Morgan says in a footnote that 'there is not a more gratifying proof of the improving taste and liberality of the sage, than that which is manifested by the rising fame of Percy Bysshe Shelley' (p. 77n). He also praises Campbell, Coleridge, Moore and Southey - although, oddly, he concentrates only on Southey's early utopianism, not on his more recent (and quite evident) support for the status quo. Wordsworth receives significant praise (with a footnote of two quotations from The Excursion): 'As some great spirit, ere it wings its way Beyond the precincts of the fleeting day, To kindred minds imparts the heavenly flame - Leaves, though unconscious of enduring fame, A trail of glory in the path sublime, To mark its triumph o'er the bounds of time' (p. 84).…
