Das Buch der Lebensgeister

Imagination, compassion, sensuality, courage, guilt, grief, ambivalence, security, longing – many forces influence our lives. J. Ruth Gendler names them and gives them a face:

'Panic has thick, curly hair and large, frightened eyes. She has worked on too many plans where she had to meet other people's deadlines...'
'Mood doesn't care about being rude, yet deep down, she is shy...'
'When imagination goes for a walk, she writes letters to the Earth...'

Short texts and delicate illustrations reveal what is at work within us and who we encounter in other people. 'May I introduce?' 75 spirits of life are waiting to make your acquaintance.
