La vida en todas sus manifestaciones es un tema de permanente interés para la humanidad. La vida y la muerte están asociadas en el pensamiento colectivo, que considera que el fin de la vida es la muerte. Sin embargo, siendo el amor uno de los valores esenciales de la vida, es de importancia fundamental proyectar los tres conceptos del amor, la vida y la muerte dentro del mundo espiritual. El libro reúne impactantes experiencias de vida cercanas a la muerte, en las que siempre triunfa el amor. Es de vital importancia comprender que la vida trasciende más allá de la muerte. Es posible comparar cada una de las historias reales del autor, con las de nuestra propia vida. Es preciso comprender que al encontrar un sentido a nuestra existencia y cumplir nuestra misión con amor, trascendemos, dejando un legado a la posteridad. Ello significa el triunfo del amor y la vida sobre la muerte gracias a la inmortalidad del espíritu.

Marcel Duchamp's stature in the history of art has grown steadily since the 1950s, as several artistic movements have embraced him as their founding father. But although his influence is comparable only to Picasso's, Duchamp continues to be relatively unknown outside his narrow circle of followers. This book seeks to explain his oeuvre, which has been shrouded with mystery. Duchamp's two great preoccupations were the nature of scientific truth and a feeling for love with its natural limit, death. His works all speak of eroticism in a way that pushes the socially acceptable to its outer limits. Juan Antonio Ramirez addresses such questions as the meaning of the artist's ground-breaking ready-mades and his famous installation Etant donnés; his passionate essay reproduces all of Duchamp's important works, in addition to numerous previously unpublished visual sources. Duchamp: Love and Death, even is a seminal monograph for understanding this crucial figure of modern art.
