Jean-Remy von Matt ist der kreative Kopf von Deutschland bekanntester Werbeagentur Jung von Matt. Als Werber und Texter war er immer gefordert zu verdichten. Jetzt erzählt er in originellen und erhellenden Anekdoten, wo und wie er Kreativität gelebt und erlebt hat. Das erste Hörbuch, das von Anfang bis Ende immer schlechter wird – mit Vorsatz. Wer früh abschaltet, hat also das Beste gehört. Vielleicht. Oder auch nicht. Ungekürzt gelesen von Julian Horeyseck und mit einem Vor- und Nachwort des Autors Jean-Remy von Matt.

Vincent Van Gogh arrived in the French capital on the last day of February 1886, a month short of his thirty-third birthday. He was a man beaten down by life, half-starved, and nearly broken psychologically. He was saved by his brother Theo, who provided him with room, board, and, most crucially, emotional support while he attempted to master the difficult craft of painting. Thus far, Vincent's crude scenes of peasant life rendered in murky shades of brown and gray were both hackneyed and amateurish.

Et lorsque, étrangère et perdue dans la province du Sichuan, elle se retrouve dans une école artistique régie par le Parti, elle est déterminée à affronter tous les obstacles.

Jane Edberg's creative muse vanished when a switch flipped from child alive to child dead. How was she supposed to process her loss?

La pieza es analizada con exhaustividad, incluyendo todo lo conocido hasta ahora de ella y exponiendo nuevas hipótesis, valientes pero cimentadas en el amplio conocimiento que el autor tiene de la sociedad ibérica y, sobre todo, de su ritualidad y religiosidad. La escultura antropomorfa ibera supone uno de los componentes más importantes de la llamada cultura ibérica, que permite comprenderla integrada en un fenómeno mediterráneo que se desarrolló en determinados lugares de sus territorios costeros.

Creador de la película definitiva sobre la convivencia con fantasmas, y las también definitivas sobre superhéroes reales o invasiones extraterrestres en fuera de campo, M. Night Shyamalan es un creador de iconos y, sobre todo, de meditadas obras que generan enconados debates, polémicas sin fin entre la cinefilia.
