The Art of Mathematics
185 x 245 mm | ca. 176 pages ca. 20,000 words full colour illustrations | hardcover all rights available, except for English rights English manuscript in production
Reframes mathematics as an art form, revealing its beauty, creativity, and impact beyond formulas and symbols
Traces timeless mathematical ideas across cultures and centuries, showing how single abstract concepts connect people, history, and modern thought
This book invites readers to see mathematics as an art form, one created through abstract thought rather than colours or shapes.
Through vivid storytelling and evocative imagery, it moves beyond formulas and symbols to reveal the awe and joy of mathematical thinking.
Each chapter focuses on a key aspect of mathematics, tracing its development across history while following its influence into later periods, sometimes up to the present day. In doing so, the book highlights one of mathematics’ most beautiful qualities: the way a single abstract idea can form a continuous thread through time, connecting people, cultures, and stories.
Accessible and visual, this book, which follows the succesful Art of Alchemy by David Brafman, offers a fresh way to experience mathematics.

Andrew Rovenko
Step into the gripping story of a little explorer in a strange world. As Melbourne endured an unprecedented lockdown, Australian photographer Andrew Rovenko captured his daughter Mia, dressed in a handmade astronaut suit and helmet, as she wandered through their familiar yet eerily unfamiliar neighbourhood.
This deeply personal pandemic project quickly grew into a globally recognised photo series and has now become a book, in which the story of the little astronaut reveals the surreal beauty that surrounds us, and teaches us to see the world differently.
In the accompanying text, playwright Tom Morton-Smith (My Neighbour Totoro, Oppenheimer) looks at Rovenko’s photographs with the sense of wonder of a child.
The photographs are timeless and otherworldly.
They cast Mia in her helmet and astronaut suit as an intrepid space traveller exploring an abandoned urban landscape.

Globally recognised: with exhibitions across the world, international news coverage and publications in Rolling Stone and Vogue, among others
Andrew Rovenko is an Australian photographer of Ukrainian descent. In 2021, he was named Australian Photographer of the Year.

Nippon
250 x 320 mm | ca. 320 pages ca. 55,000 words full colour illustrations | hardcover all rights available, except for English rights English manuscript in production
Japan was isolated almost completely from the West for more than two hundred years, from 1641 to 1854. One of the first Westerners to penetrate that barrier and reveal fundamental information about the country – and the Far East in general – was Philipp Franz von Siebold (1796-1866), a doctor from Würzburg in Germany. From 1823 to 1829 he lived on the small island of Dejima, a Dutch trading post in Nagasaki that was then the only point of contact between Japan and the West.
Full of ambition, Siebold was sent from the Dutch East Indies to Japan with the task of gathering as much information as possible about the country, its geography, its people, religion, customs and traditional costumes. Working with Japanese artists including Kawahara Keiga and Hokusai, Siebold embarked on an unprecedented visual and scientific project, culminating in the book Nippon.
This centuries-old masterpiece offers a unique glimpse of a country that continues to intrigue people today
The fine illustrations by Japanese artists give a wealth of information about ancient rituals, scenery, the art of war, court culture and much more
In this publication of Nippon, we give Siebold’s work a new lease of life that lets us understand the Japan he saw. This edition includes all the original prints, while newly written essays and commentaries introduce the present-day reader to Nippon's most striking stories and details.
How wonderful that this remarkable book is now receiving the recognition - and the admiring readers - it has always deserved.
– Annejet van der Zijl, bestselling author and biographer of Franz von Siebold
This publication is the result of a collaboration with Leiden University Libraries. The editors are Kuniko Forrer and Matthi Forrer. Kuniko is a book historian who has worked at Japan Museum Siebold Huis since 2012. Matthi is an art historian and authority on Japan. He is currently a senior researcher on the Japanese and Korean collection at Leiden’s Wereldmuseum.
