Florence Nightingale
Whether honoured and admired or criticized and ridiculed, Florence Nightingale has invariably been misrepresented and misunderstood. As the Lady with the Lamp, ministering to the wounded and dying of the Crimean War, she offers an enduring image of sentimental appeal and one that is permanently lodged in our national consciousness. But the awesome scale of her achievements over the course of her 90 years is infinitely more troubling - and inspiring - than this mythical simplification. From her tireless campaigning and staggering intellectual abilities to her tortured relationship with her sister and her distressing medical condition, this vivid and immensely readable biography draws on a wealth of unpublished material and previously unseen family papers, disententagling the myth from the reality and reinvigorating with new life one of the most iconic figures in modern British history.

Art is Everywhere - How to Really Look at Things
In 2005 there was as a street performance in Florence that featured a white canvas with a light grey sentence reading, Art is Everywhere, temporarily exhibited on the streets. The aim of the project was to create a temporary visual emptiness: a necessary condition for opening people s eyes so that they could see the interesting layers of scratches, marks, old posters and parts of the city that normally remain unnoticed by many. Within a few years, it had become a 2 day workshop, where participants are invited to explore the city with new eyes, and were asked to complete small assignments and to document their findings with photographs. This book is the result of that experience, to forget the challenge of defining Art but understand it as a trigger for new and different interpretations of what already surrounds us. It is a meter on how we look at things, and whether we have the right tools or not to decode it. Now more than ever art is strictly related to time. Since Art is everywhere you just have to be at the right place at the right time. But that is not enough. Not only, as Proust said, is it necessary to have new eyes to discover new things it is also indispensable that you are slowing down. See the details. Take the example of the art of Urs Fischer and his melting wax statues. Be it classical figures or realistic persons, everything is set on fire and melts slowly with time. A visitor will not see the same thing as the next one in minutes, one can only see the final horrible ending of a statue if it stays for the necessary time it takes to melt. It s the perfect metaphor for interpretation of art. Where does Art belong? Where does it start and end? Through ingenious collages and montages, the author revolves our expectations regarding the experience of art. A book for young creative minds to get inspired, an instrument for developed artist to reconsider their workshop and the end of borders between what is framed and what is not. Have you ever wondered why our senses become more alert when, say as tourists, we visit a city for the first time? And why it often seems that nothing extraordinary or exceptional ever happens along our daily routes? Is it possible to discover something wonderful and special without the necessity of visiting museums, monuments, or other places that differ from our habitual haunts? Art is Everywhere combines science, hands-on practices used in art workshops, and clear and simple language to answer these questions. And raise some others. "

Renaissance
Art as we know it today could not exist had not the revolutionary work of the Renaissance artists paved the way. Widely considered the most important and influential movement in the history of fine arts, literature, architecture, and science, the Renaissance marked the emergence of Western civilization from the Middle Ages into the modern era. Beginning in the 14th century in Italy, the movement spread throughout Europe by the late 15th century, the main centers of fine art activity being in Florence, the Low Countries, and Germany. For the first time, art became intellectual&894 influenced by humanism, artists experimented with secular subjects and revived classical antiquity. Advances in anatomy and geometry produced more realistic depictions in terms of space and perspective for the Italians, while new oil painting techniques made their mark in Flemish painting and woodcuts and engravings were the specialties of the Germans.

Krvavá nevěsta BD
Grace (Samara Weaving) si bere za muže Alexe Le Domase (Mark O'Brien), pohledného a úspěšného mladíka z bohaté rodiny, která své jmění získala vymýšlením a prodejem deskových her. Leckterá dívka o takovou lásku a její svatební naplnění marně usiluje či aspoň tajně sní. Grace navíc tímto sňatkem konečně získává rodinu, protože krutý osud z ní před časem učinil sirotka. Le Domasovi sice nepůsobí úplně běžným dojmem, ne každý z nich se z tohoto sňatku raduje, ale Grace je šťastná a zamilovaná a tak tomu nevěnuje příliš velkou pozornost. Po svatebním obřadu se Grace dozvídá, že je nyní již téměř oficiální součástí rodiny Le Domasů. A aby její přijetí bylo úplné, musí si s nimi ještě po půlnoci zahrát některou z jejich tradičních rodinných her, kterou si sama vylosuje. A její volba padne na hru na schovávanou. Pravidla jsou jednoduchá, nevěsta se musí schovat tak, aby ji do svítání nikdo z její nové rodiny nenašel. Jak prosté. Grace ale netuší, že zatímco si ve velkém sídle Le Domasů hledá vhodný úkryt, její budoucí příbuzní a jejich služebnictvo vytahují různé střelné, bodné i sečné zbraně. A jen co dozní tradiční „Před pikolou za pikolou nikdo nesmí stát“, vyrazí na lov nevěsty, který má skončit velmi krvavým zapikáním. Grace naštěstí brzy pochopí, která bije, a rozhodně svou kůži nechce prodat lacino. Když zdánlivě křehkou nevěstu zaženete do kouta, nemůžete se pak divit, když se začne bránit. Tahle svatební noc bude krvavá a dlouhá a je dost možné, že na jejím konci nezbydou žádní živí svatebčané.

Importance Of Being Earnest
The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette. Manners and morality are also victims of Wildes sharp wit in Lady Windermeres Fan, A Woman of No Importance and An Ideal Hu
sband, in which snobbery and hypocrisy are laid bare. In Salomé and A Florentine Tragedy, Wilde makes powerful use of historical settings to explore the complex relationship between sex and power. The range of these plays displays Wildes delight in
artifice, masks and disguises, and reveal the pretensions of the social world in which he himself played such a dazzlingly and precarious part.
Richard Allen Caves introduction and notes discuss the themes of the plays and Wildes innovative methods
of staging. This edition includes the excised Gribsby scene from The Importance of Being Earnest.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobra

Michelangelo Complete Works
Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pieta, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like fellow Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining s
tar of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity. His achievements as a sculptor, painter, draughtsman, and architect are uniqueno artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multi-faceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. Only a h
andful of other painters and sculptors have attained a comparable social status and enjoyed a similar artistic freedom. This is demonstrated not only by the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel but also by Michelangelos monumental sculptures and his uncon
ventional architectural designs, whose forms went far beyond the accepted vocabulary of his day. Such was his talent that Michelangelo was considered a demigod by his contemporaries and was the subject of two biographies during his lifetime. Adoratio
n of this remarkable mans work has only increased on the intervening centuries.

Portrait of a Lady (OWC)
Henry James is one of the giants of American literary history. From the novella Daisy Miller" and classic short stories such as "The Turn of the Screw" to the popular short novel Washington Square and intricately woven and highly complex later novels such as The Golden Bowl and The Ambassadors, James's work is a required stop on any journey through our nation's artistic and cultural heritage. An undisputed masterpiece, The Portrait of a Lady is arguably James's most popular work, and certainly the finest of his early novels. It focuses on Isabel Archer, a young, intelligent, and spirited American girl, determined to relish her first experience of Europe. She rejects two eligible suitors in her fervent commitment to liberty and independence, declaring that she will never marry. Thanks to the generosity of her devoted cousin Ralph, she is free to make her own choice about her destiny. Yet in the intoxicating worlds of Paris, Florence, and Rome, her fond illusions of self-reliance are twisted by the machinations of her friends and apparent allies. What had seemed to be a vista of infinite promise steadily closes around her and becomes instead a "house of suffocation." Portrait of a Lady is at once a dramatic Victorian tale of betrayal and a wholly modern psychological study of a woman caught in a web of relations she only comes to understand too late. This new edition includes helpful notes on the numerous changes James made between the first edition and the revised New York Edition, reproduced here, an up-to-date bibliography, and a new chronology."

Sixties Design
During the decade many associate with the Beatles, hippies, and flower power, designers in Europe, Asia, and the Americas were fundamentally rethinking modernist principles. Sixties Design is a documentation and analysis of that era during which belief in modernist design began to crumble. As modernism--the foremost design mode of the 20th century--reached its golden years, it came to be considered by many an autocratic, almost fascistically impersonal movement that strove to raise the standards of large groups by ignoring the peccadilloes of individuals. At the same time, the modern era and its designers are responsible for remarkable innovations that have forever changed the way we live, work, and play. The book captures an interesting moment during which modernism and its refutations began to coexist. Author Philippe Garner breaks the book up into five sections. In each he addresses a different aspect of the designed '60s, and his insights add dimension to the hundreds of illustrations. He makes connections between the cold war and Jane Fonda's erotic antics in a fur-lined spaceship from the movie Barbarella--with photo-documentation to boot--and he provides a startlingly lucid and economical analysis of Swedish modern furniture design in the context of minimalist principles and the craft revival. From Florence Knoll's office designs to Oscar Niemeyer's unparalleled "master plan" city, Brasilia, from Richard Avedon's fashion photography to Neal Armstrong's space walk, Sixties Design offers countless vistas from which to rethink a decade too long associated with paisleys and free love. --Loren E.

Tady si podle plánu užije chvíle slávy a obdrží slavnostní klíč k městu. Ale kam šlápne, tam rostou průšvihy a zmatky. Nechtěně se zaplete do bankovní loupeže, vyvolá obrovskou policejní honičku a nakonec jsou všichni rádi, že město, kam přijel, po jeho odjezdu ještě stojí.
