A richly visual retrospective of Yorgos Lanthimos’s career, covering everything from his early experimental Greek short films to his award winning features like The Lobster,The Favourite, and Poor Things In the years since his early forays into Greek theatre, Yorgos Lanthimos has cultivated a distinct cinematic look—darkly surreal, emotionally incisive, and completely original. The Modern Prometheus is a richly detailed monograph that traces the director’s evolution from his experimental debut Kinetta to the Academy Award-winning Poor Things and beyond. Written by Hannah Strong and designed in collaboration with renowned film magazine Little White Lies, this volume brings Lanthimos’s murky cinematic vision into focus. Through a compelling blend of archival material, photography, and in-depth interviews with key collaborators, The Modern Prometheus offers an intimate look at the filmmaker’s creative process. The Modern Prometheus unpacks the distinctive visuals, offbeat humor, and visceral interrogations of the human body and soul that define Lanthimos’s work. With analytical precision and deep admiration, the book celebrates Lanthimos as a genre-defying director who continues to expand the possibilities of contemporary cinema.

Minna Canth ist die wichtigste Autorin des finnischen Realismus und eine bedeutende Vorkämpferin für die Rechte der Frauen. Ihr Geburtstag ist als Tag der Gleichberechtigung ein finnischer Staatsfeiertag. In ihren u.a. von Henrik Ibsen beeinflußten Dramen vertritt sie radikale sozialkritische Ideen,. Ihre Stärke ist die realitätsnahe Diskussion weltanschaulicher Themen, wie das Verhältnis von Religion und Darwinismus, vor dem Hintergrund der Familie als Bühne moralischer Konflikte. Im ihrem 111. Todesjahr präsentiert der Verlag die wichtigsten Arbeiten dieser Autorin als lebendige Erzählerin und große moralische Instanz der finnischen Literatur, einige davon erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. Minna Canth 1844 - 1897
