Tax included.
Death is an inevitable fact of life. Throughout the centuries, men have sought to apprehend this fatality, through art - the medieval danses macabres, the Tibetan book of the dead, the paintings of dissected corpses from the Renaissance, Gothic literature or the paintings of the Judgment Last - or and of the rituals - the Day of the Dead in Mexico, the Egyptian mummies. A work of grim beauty and unprecedented ambition, Macabre surveys and analyzes perceptions of death across cultures. Each chapter is written by a specialist: museum curator, academic or journalist, richly illustrated with images and artefacts linked to death. Skulls, dance of death, statuettes, ex-libris, photographs, the iconographic sources come from the Richard Harris collection and cover 2000 years of popular culture.
