(hardcover) twenty-two impressions: notes from the major arcana

A poetic new essay collection in which the symbols of the tarot brush up against life in a changing world. The Tarot de Marseille, a set of 16th-century playing cards, is the first tarot deck on record to be used for divination. When Jessica Friedmann discovered a pack, the unfamiliar images sparked a deep immersion in the art, symbols, myths, and misrepresentations of Renaissance-era tarot. Over the years that followed, and as tarot became a part of her daily rhythm, Friedmann's life was touched by floods and by drought, by devastating fires and a pandemic, creating an environment in which the only constant was change. Twenty-Two Impressions: notes from the Major Arcana uses the Tarot de Marseille as a touchstone, blending historical research, art history, and critical insights with personal reflections. In these essays, Friedmann demonstrates how the cards of the Major Arcana can be used as a lens through which to examine the unexpectedness - and subtle beauty - of 2lst-century life. 📍สภาพค่อนข้างดี มีรอยเปื้อนฝุ่นที่หนังสือเล็กน้อยกับรอยยับที่ปกแข็ง
