{"product_id":"16673-salvador-dal","title":"Salvador Dalí","description":"The fear of death and the desire for immortality were dominant themes in Dalí's life: just nine months before the artist's birth, his older brother, also named Salvador, died. This heightened sensitivity intensified further after the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Dalí's original plan to have himself frozen after death was replaced by a profound fascination with science, especially with the discovery of the DNA structure, which for him was the central component for understanding life. The previously unpublished notes by Dalí reproduced here contain anecdotes about the author Stefan Zweig, who introduced the artist to Sigmund Freud. Also pictured is an article from the magazine Scientific American, which Dalí regularly read, featuring his handwritten notes. In his introduction, Ignacio Vidal-Folch writes about Dalí's search for immortality and different perspectives on the topic from scientists and authors such as Ray Kurzweil, Elias Canetti, and Eugène Ionesco. \u003cbr\u003eSalvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish artist.\u003cbr\u003eThe journalist and author Ignacio Vidal-Folch (b. 1956) lives in Barcelona.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2888-1)","offer_id":44503954424072,"sku":"9783775728881","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3068-6)","offer_id":44573667164424,"sku":"9783775730686","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4945-9)","offer_id":44573667197192,"sku":"9783775749459","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728881_f6a247ed-02c6-46ec-b32b-1267f6c69b9d.jpg?v=1744132322","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16673-salvador-dal","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
