This uniquely-packaged cigar box contains 20 postcards of the famous revolutionary Che Guevara taken by world-renowned photographer Rene Burri. This series of images of the revolutionary are the most intimate. This cardbox will be published one month after the publication of Rene Burri Photographs (January 2004) on the occasion of the launch of this stunning career retrospective featuring over 400 duotone photographs. Famous photographer & member of the prestigious photo agency Magnum, Rene Burri captured the famous revolutionary on film during an interview for the American illustrated magazine Look in January 1963. The interview between Che Guevara & journalist Laura Berquist was a battle of ideologies as Che tried to convince his US interviewer of the successes of the Cuban revolution. Burri`s powerful images capture Che Guevara as a complex & intense figure: in several postcards we see him in repose at his desk in front of closed blinds which he demanded remain shut; in another postcard, we see him pacing the office in combat dress; another postcard features a contact sheet showing Che in debate. Also featured are sequences of images showing him by turns thoughtful, emotional, amused, tentative & always fully aware. The selection of postcards also

Includes:: Burri`s iconic image of Che Guevara smoking a cigar which has been extensively reproduced on posters & t-shirts worldwide (row 3, column 1 in Sales Catalogue). This portrait of Che has become a universal representation of the legendary martyr, appearing on postcards & posters as a symbol of home-grown rebellion & anti-capitalism. Che Guevara made his last public appearance three weeks before Burri`s photographs appeared in Look on 9 April 1963. His last public appearance was in May 1963 & he was executed in Bolivia in October 1967.

The writings of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century -- revolutionary leader Ernesto ` Che` Guevara. These diaries follow on from the events recorded in ` The Motorcycle Diaries` & recount the experiences that would make Che a figure known around the world. The people of Cuba struggled against immense odds to emerge victorious from years of brutal dictatorship & poverty in 1959. This is Che Guevara`s classic eyewitness account of the transformation of a country & also the transformation of Che himself -- from a troop doctor to a revolutionary leader, who would become one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century. Following the phenomenally successful film adaptation of ` The Motorcycle Diaries`, two of Che Guevara`s later & most insightful diaries are being brought to the big screen in 2009. Directed by Steven Soderbergh & starring Benicio del Toro, ` Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War` & ` The Bolivian Diary` will be released as ` Che Part 1` & ` Che Part 2`. Del Toro won the best actor award for his part in the films at Cannes in 2008. ...

In nature, trickery & deception are widespread. Animals & plants mimic other objects or species in the environment for protection, trick other species into rearing their young, lure prey to their death, & deceive potential mates for reproduction. Cuckoos lay eggs carefully matched to their host`s own clutch. Harmless butterflies mimic the wing patterning of a poisonous butterfly to avoid being eaten. The deep-sea angler fish hangs a glowing, fleshy lure in front of its mouth to draw the attention of potential prey, while some male fish alter their appearance to look like females in order to sneak past rivals in mating. Some orchids develop the smell of female insects in order to attract pollinators, while carnivorous plants lure insects to their death with colourful displays. In this book, Martin Stevens describes the remarkable range of such adaptations in nature, & considers how they have evolved, & become increasingly perfected as part of an arms race between predator & prey or host & parasite. He explores the work of naturalists & biologists from Alfred Russel Wallace to current research, showing how scientists find ways of testing the impact of particular behaviours & colourings on the animals it is meant to fool, as opposed to our human perceptions. Drawing on a wide range of examples, Stevens considers what deception tells us about the process of evolution & adaptation. ...
