Years ago he had comrades in arms and a cause to believe in, but now the man who calls himself Nomad knows only a life on the run. Forced to hop from world to world in the Cosmere whenever the relentless Night Brigade gets too close, Nomad lands on a new planet and is instantly caught up in the struggle between a tyrant and the rebels who want only to escape being turned into mindless slaves-all under the constant threat of a sunrise whose heat will melt the very stones.

Brutalistische Architektur, lange Zeit gering schätzt und erst in jüngster Zeit von einer jungen, netzaffinen Generation von Architektur-Aficionados neu entdeckt, war ein weltweites Phänomen, hat aber seine wohl wunderlichsten Betonblüten im ehemaligen Ostblock getrieben. Während mehrerer Reisen durch Osteuropa spürte der französische Publizist Frédéric Chaubin in zumeist peripheren Regionen des ehemaligen Sowjetimperiums architektonische Kolosse auf, die wie Kulissen zu Science-Fiction-Filmen erscheinen. Jenseits der genormten, staatlichen Sowjetmoderne scheinen sie durch ihren Nonkonformismus, ihre stilistische Vielfalt und regionale Extravaganz das Auseinanderbrechen der UdSSR bereits vorwegzunehmen.Ihre Architekten nutzten die Freiräume, die durch das Bröckeln der monolithischen Staatsstruktur entstanden: Sie gingen weit über den Modernismus hinaus und fanden zu den Wurzeln des freien Erfindens zurück. Die Wagemutigsten schufen Projekte, von denen die Konstruktivisten nur träumen konnten (Druschba Sanatorium, Jalta), andere zeigten ihre Fantasie auf expressionistische Weise (Hochzeitspalast, Tiflis). Ein Sommercamp, inspiriert durch Modellskizzen einer Mondbasis, offenbart suprematistische Einflüsse (Prometheus-Jugendlager, Bogatyr). Auch die sprechende Architektur war in den letzten Jahren der UdSSR weit verbreitet: Chaubin fand in Kiew ein Krematorium, das mit Betonflammen verziert war, und ein Forschungsinstitut mit einer abgestürzten fliegenden Untertasse auf dem Dach. Das "Haus der Sowjets" in Kaliningrad wiederum scheint den Betrachter wie Big Brother zu beobachten.Der eklektische Stilmix spiegelt die ideologischen Träume jener Zeit wider - von der Weltraumbesessenheit bis zur Neuerfindung der eigenen Identität. Er zeigt auch die ungeheure Weite der UdSSR und wie lokale Entwicklungen manch exotische Wendung nahmen, bevor sie das Ende des Landes mit herbeiführten.

"The real charm of Byways isn't playing spot-the-location as Deakins dabbles between takes, but the window it opens onto his youthful eye. You can trace his drive from an early age to catch the light at its best - or wait for it - all night if necessary." - The Telegraph "...his first monograph, Byways, looks not to his revered cinematography career, but his decades-long habit of taking still photographs. Among them are breathtaking landscapes and moments of stillness, interspersed with photographs imbued with wit thanks to the playful possibilities of scale, framing and timing. It's the kind of dry humour that sits passers by in conversation with monuments and miscellaneous objects in the street, or captures a canine rendition of Cartier-Bresson's seminal image Behind The Gare Saint-Lazare. - Creative Review "Candid close-ups, wide-angle landscapes, and dynamic long exposures, his monochrome photographs display a variety of approaches and techniques, yet first and foremost, testify to the remarkably perceptive artistic gaze that has seen him nominated for an Oscar on fifteen separate occasions (winning twice). Thoughtful, poetic, and profoundly arresting, they display his distinct enigmatic sensibility, and presented for the most part with little or no information or context (index aside) form a compelling visual soliloquy that conveys with great eloquence, the profound power of the still image." The Independent Photographer "An intimate introduction to the man behind the lens" - The Times Portraits and landscapes from the cinematographer famed for his work with Sam Mendes and the Coen brothers This is the first monograph by the legendary Oscar-winning cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins, best known for his collaborations with directors such as the Coen brothers, Sam Mendes and Denis Villeneuve. It includes previously unpublished black-and-white photographs spanning five decades, from 1971 to the present. After graduating from college Deakins spent a year photographing life in rural North Devon, in South West England, on a commission for the Beaford Arts Centre; these images are gathered here for the first time and attest to a keenly ironic English sensibility, also documenting a vanished postwar Britain. A second suite of images expresses Deakins' love of the seaside. Traveling for his cinematic work has allowed Deakins to photograph landscapes all over the world; in this third group of images, that same irony remains evident.
