Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance and bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles—and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.

Stones and Other Texts is the first complete English translation of his work Pierres suivi d'autres textes, (1966, Gallimard). Stones illustrates Caillois' ability to move between the poetic, the cerebral, and the spiritual. Often bouncing between detailed descriptions of physical characteristics, to geography and the stones movement through space and time, to the mythology surrounding the stones. Unlike The Writing of Stones, which featured images from Caillois' own rock collection, this text pairs a complete English translation by French writer and curator, Valentine Umansky, with the haunting imagery from, writer and designer, Richard Weston.

The story of our deep and multifaceted connections to geological matter—the very bedrock of our lives. From small beach pebbles to huge megaliths, stones have been revered, collected, enhanced, sculpted, or engraved for practical and artistic purposes throughout the ages. They have been used to delineate boundaries and to build homes and shelters and utilized for cooking, games, and competitions. This surprising and fascinating compendium of stone facts, myths, and stories reveals the impact and importance of stones in our history and culture. Cally Oldershaw introduces the science in an accessible way and covers the aesthetic appeal of stones, their practical uses, and metaphysical properties. With an eclectic mix of examples from the Stone Age to the present, Stones engagingly excavates the story of this essential matter.
