‎This book presents a detailed and inspiring picture of the traditional ways of life and the impressive art of the Mentawai archipelago located off the west coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. This shamanistic culture, most notably found on the northernmost island of Siberut, maintains an ancient relationship between man and the spiritual world. Within this worldview, everything is animated. Not only do humans have souls, but so do animals, plants and objects. To please these souls and to create harmony, alluring artifacts have been created for generations. In this way life, art, ritual and esthetics are intertwined: a notion reflected in the field photographs and in the beautiful and rare objects that are described and illustrated here. Toys for the Souls reveals for the first time the richness and creative power of an artistic imagination, deeply rooted in Southeast Asian prehistory.‎

‎PARIS SOULS : Unexpected Histories from the City of Light ‎

‎, Hannibal Books, 2023 PB+, 240 x 160 mm, 560 pages, ENG edition, illustrated, . ISBN 9789464666403.‎

‎In this book, reality always outdoes fiction and truth always outdoes myth. Get ready for a personal encounter with police inspectors and filles à la cuisse légère, Impressionists and art thieves, swindlers and bankers, poisoners and surgeons, collaborators and members of the resistance, Cubists and anarchists, painters' models and curators, terrorists and duellists, Huguenots and Catholics, criminals and executioners. In intriguing, often forgotten histories such as 'The Chanel versus Wertheimer', 'Lenin's Yellow Jersey' and 'Selling the Eiffel Tower', hundreds of Parisian souls are brought back to life behind the façades, in the passages, on the squares and along the avenues and boulevards of the City of Light In Paris Souls, the reader samples the idiosyncratic harvest of someone who, after many seasons in his favourite city, still takes delight in its fruits. Author Dirk Velghe recounts facts and stories about the unusual people and events that have coloured Paris, sometimes with paint, sometimes with blood. Histories the way only a true Parisian can tell them. Light-hearted but always drawing on thorough research, Velghe gives a completely new twist to the history of Paris. His no-nonsense prose and narrative flair make for compelling reading.‎
