Hajnali szex - A modern szexualitás ősi gyökerei
Gondolatébresztő, sőt provokatív könyvében a szerző házaspár evolúcióbiológiai alapon vizsgálja az emberi szexualitást - azt, hogy hogyan párosodunk, miért hűtlenkedünk, és mit jelent ez a modern kapcsolatokban. Miért csaljuk meg egymást és válunk el egymástól egyre növekvő mértékben, amikor teljesen mégsem fordítunk hátat a házasságnak? Miért terjednek járványszerűen az egyszülős családok? Miért párolog el ilyen gyorsan a szenvedély oly sok házasságból? Mi okozza a vágy halálát? Ha egyszer együtt formálódtunk itt, ezen a Földön, miért szimpatizál annyi férfi és nő a gondolattal, hogy mintha külön-külön bolygóról jöttünk volna?
Vitathatatlan, hogy a hagyományos házasság manapság teljes katasztrófa férfiak, nők és gyerekek millióinak. A hagyományos, "amíg a halál (vagy a hűtlenség vagy az unalom) el nem választ" házasság megbukott.
A könyv nem kevesebbet állít, mint hogy az emberi szexualitásról szerzett rengeteg ismeretünk eleve téves, és olyan alaptalan, elavult feltételezésekre épül, amelyek Darwinig és a még korábbi gondolkodókig mennek vissza. Az a kijelentés, hogy az emberi lények a természetüknél fogva monogámok, nem egyszerűen hazugság; ez egy olyan hazugság, amelynek folyamatos hangoztatásához a legtöbb nyugati társadalom makacsul ragaszkodik. A főemlőskutatás, kultúrantropológia, anatómia és pszichológia számtalan eredménye alapján nyilvánvaló, hogy természeténél fogva se a hím, se a nőstény emberi lény nem monogám - ebből pedig az következik, hogy legfőbb ideje felülvizsgálnunk a párkapcsolatról, a házasságról és a társadalmi szerepekről vallott nézeteinket.

Gaszner és Rihmer főorvos elmeosztálya
"Különös világ ez, meg fogják látni. A segítségre szorulók mintha egyre többen lennének, a segíteni tudók meg mintha egyre kevesebben. Diplomás ápolók egész évfolyamai szerződnek külföldre, az orvosok egy része pedig a jobban jövedelmező magánpraxist választja, vagy szintén a távoli boldogulást. A százötven éves főépületről jószerével mindenütt mállik a vakolat, a technikai feltételek igen szerények. Mégis, mindennek ellenére is a Lipóton folyó gyógyító munka, nem túlzás ezt állítani, világszínvonalú. Magyarországon körülbelül hatszázezer ember szenved agyrákosodásban. A Lipóton egyebek mellett negyven hektár erdő, tizenkét épület, hatszáz fős személyzet, évi négymilliárd forint segíti közülünk néhány ezer ember gyógyulását. Meg persze nem egy labor, amelyek mellett én is hajlamos vagyok unottan elmenni. Pipetták, kémcsövek. Kit érdekel? Pedig még ezeken a kémcsöveken is emberéletek múlnak."

Velázquez
The face of Spain
The undeniable pinnacle of the golden age of Spanish painting
Acclaimed for its blending of realism with atmosphere, and for its deeply sensitive appreciation of character, the work of Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez(1599-16
60) represents the undeniable pinnacle of the golden age of Spanish painting.
Born in Seville but of Portuguese origin, Velázquez became Court Painter to Philip IV in 1623. A steady worker, using primarily sombre low-toned coloring, he met Rubens in
1628, and soon after made a first trip to Italy. The pictures painted there reveal a growing interest in both color range and in the male nude.
Velázquez only returned to Italy once again in the late 1640's, where he painted his famous portrait of
Pope Innocent X and his only female nude, the "Rokeby Venus". But his greatness lies perhaps in his empathetic studies of such characters as the dwarf playmates of the royal children. The weathering of the skin, rags and mortality, as well as the age
ing face of the despondent monarch increasingly preoccupied him in later years. The power, insight and brilliant technique of these paintings were to prove profoundly influential on such later artists as Manet, Delacroix, Picasso and Bacon.

Játék Vénusz dombján
Díszes társaság gyűlt össze Vénusz dombján. Lampionok, fáklyák alatt, bokrok között a karneváli forgatag, amelyben feltűnik, többek közt a Casanovának öltözött Újházy Jakab, kinek kabátzsebéből a pálos rendi Verseghy Ferenc Első egyesülés című vers-kézirata kandikál elő. S itt a hírhedett nőcsábásszal egyik szeretője, a kasztrált Bellino, avagy Teresa Lanti - aki mosócédulákra írogatja tömör létbölcseleti töredékeit, s ez a forgatagban nekünk fölöttébb mulatságos. Vagy mégsem? S: itt van/nak sziámi ikerként: Berda József Attila egy malackodó szonettbe öltözve. Feltűnik eme álarcos keringőzésben Vajda János, most karján a feleség, Bartos Róza, Rosamunda, aki sértett hitvesként kiteregeti verseiben a családi szennyest. S itt látható továbbá Vivian a varázsló Merlinnel, majd egy (névtelen) sámán a szellemlánnyal. Gyakorolnak éppen. Akárcsak a klaviatúrán ugráló lény, kit a könyv szerzője bennfentesen zongoralánynak nevez. S egy kísértet nyakában lógva: Czóbel Minka, ugyanis rövid időre medalionná változtatták. Itt látható a mitológiai Mars és e kötet dombjának névadója: Vénusz - most éppen elválaszthatatlan párként Vörösmarty vers-ritmusára táncikálnak-civakodnak; továbbá maskarás hőse e könyvnek Rim Erik és egy verses levéllel James Joyce. És még sokan mások. A svédasztalon meg: anagrammák, haikuk. Tessék, tessék!

TITIAN: His Life and the Golden Age of Venice
The first biography since 1877 of Venice's greatest artist - a towering work which captures the genius of Titian, beautifully illustrated throughout with full colour plates. Devoted father and loyal friend, Titian was notorious for disregarding authority and was an international celebrity by his late fifties. He was famously difficult but his stubbornness and horrendous timekeeping did nothing to deter his patrons who included the Hapsburgs, the Pope and his family and Charles V. During his career, which spanned more than seventy years, Titian painted around five or six hundred pictures of which less than half survive. His work has been studied by generations of great artists from Rubens to Manet and he is often seen as having artistically transcended his own time. Sheila Hale not only examines his life, both personal and professional, but how his art affected his contemporaries and how it influences artists today. She also examines Venice in its context of a city at the time of the Renaissance, overshadowed artistically by Rome and Florence and growing into the famous historical city it has become. Fully illustrated with four colour plate sections (including his famous works 'Reclining Venus', 'Death of Actaeon' and 'Three Ages of Man'), this is an astonishing portrait of one of the most important figures in the history of Western art and a vivid evocation of Venice in its 'Golden Age'.

Work with Me
Despite the strenuous efforts to give women equal status in the workplace over the last few decades, tension between the sexes in the workplace remains as rampant as ever: during exit interviews many women, often leaving to start their own businesses, cite feeling undervalued or unappreciated at the office. Despite countless company initiatives, equality protocols, and gender seminars we have made little significant advancement. So why can't the sexes work together? In this fresh exploration of the relationships between men and women in the office, world-renowned expert on gender issues in the workplace, Barbara Annis, and John Gray, author of the number one relationship book of all time, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, team up to reveal the eight gender blindspots that create friction between the sexes at work. Annis and Gray use stories, science and research (including over 100,000 in-depth interviews of male and female executives in over 60 Fortune 500 companies) to expose the blindspots that cause misunderstandings, miscommunications, mistrust, resentment and frustrations. Filled with 'ah-ha' moments, Work with Me provides a blueprint for boosting your gender intelligence. It provides new insights and solutions that will help break down barriers and enable men and women to bridge their different values, build trust and increase their credibility with each other, at work and at home.

Mona Lisa to Marge
This highly entertaining exploration of art, history, and commerce reveals how 30 masterpieces made the journey from image to icon. How did paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Birth of Venus, and The Scream achieve worldwide recognition? Why do certain works of art populate T-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars, and advertising? Witty and well researched, this accessible exploration of visual and popular culture reveals how particular works of art have become part of the collective imagination. Readers will learn that Myron s Discobolus only became widely known when the sculpture was used to promote the Olympics, that the success of Leonardo s Last Supper is due to the fact that it was one of the first paintings to be mass-reproduced, that the Mona Lisa became a celebrity only after being stolen from the Louvre, and that Girl with a Pearl Earring was deemed a minor Vermeer until it became the subject of a bestselling novel. Ranging from the classical to the contemporary, travelling through the Renaissance, Impressionism, Surrealism, and abstraction, Mona Lisa to Marge offers insights that are in turn thought provoking, irreverent, and surprising. Generously illustrated, the book features the original artworks as well as the cartoons, ads, book and album covers, and everyday objects they inspired. The book will open readers eyes to the artistic images that have become universal touchstones and the fascinating stories of how and why they got there.

La Venus d´Ille
Un fiancé, la veille de ses noces, passe l'anneau destiné sa future femme au doigt d'une statue de Vénus, et meurt assassiné dans la chambre nuptiale (La Vénus de l'Ille). Deux amants, échappés la surveillance du mari pour une nuit de bonheur dans un hôtel, épient les bruits de la chambre voisine, persuadés qu'un meurtre s'y accomplit (Let Chambre bleue). Un aristocrate raffiné est subitement pris d'un accs de cruauté bestiale qui justifie peut-tre les doutes dont s'entoure sa naissance : se pourrait-il qu'il soit le fils d'un ours (Lokis) ? Le présent recueil rassemble les nouvelles fantastiques les plus célbres de Mérimée. D'un style abrupt, dérangeantes, violentes parfois - Quand Mérimée atteint son effet", c'est comme " un coup de couteau ", disait Sainte-Beuve -, elles s'imposent, par leur concision, comme des modles du genre."

Marilyn
The Museo Ferragamo in Florence pays homage to Marilyn Monroe with a major exhibition and a catalog dedicated to her a half century after her death. Like many divas of the silver screen, Marilyn Monroe loved to wear Salvatore Ferragamo shoes. The exhibition and catalogue dedicated to her are the result of long research and preparatory work, presenting items from the actress's wardrobe worn on the set or in her private life, as well as important documents that reveal the actress's managerial side, her skill and determination in building and grooming her success. In this volume, the curators have sought to interpret a comprehensive collection of famous photographs taken in Marilyn's day-to-day life (by such notable photographers as Beaton, Stern, Barris, Greene) that portray Marilyn in "classic" poses by comparing them with famous works of art from the past that represent similar poses and expressions, from the balanced pathos of French painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze's Alessandro morente to Botticelli's Venus. The catalog gathers together all the photos of clothing and Ferragamo footwear, the documents in the exhibition, and a very large group of photographs and exceptional works of art from such prestigious institutions as the Museo Canova and the Warhol Foundation, and from private collections in Italy and abroad. The catalog also includes essays addressing such themes as classic and modern beauty, Marilyn's biography, and her relationship with other women, as well as an introduction by Stefania Ricci and Sergio Risaliti, exhibition curators.

Velazquez
Master of illusion: Velazquez, virtuoso of the Spanish Golden AgeCourt painter to King Philip IV of Spain, Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez (June 1599 August 6, 1660) is not only a leading light of the Spanish Golden Age, but among the most celebrated masters in all Western art history. Monet and Renoir, Corot and Courbet, Degas and Dali all hailed his influence. Picasso was so inspired by his masterpiece Las Meninas that he painted 44 variations of it.Velazquez s importance is found particularly in his naturalist approach, in contrast to the more ubiquitous idealized manner of his age. Early works included numerous bodegones, genre scenes of everyday life in early 17th century Spain, in which warm, rich tones and textures set off the most ordinary of subjects and humble of faces, such as Old Woman Frying Eggs.Later, his portraiture for the Royal Court brought the same naturalism to the highest echelons of society, marking a profound shift in the depiction of royalty with softer, more relaxed poses that offered his subjects a human warmth and character as much as a sense of grandeur. Velazquez s most famous work, Las Meninas, was also painted in the royal court, but in its enigmatic composition raises many broader questions about reality and illusion and the relationship between the painter, painting, and viewer.This fresh TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 edition introduces Velazquez through key works from throughout his career. From humble genre scenes to the royal portraits, the exquisite Rockeby Venus nude, and the ever-mysterioius Las Meninas, we explore his exceptional attention to composition, masterful handling of tone, and his remarkable influence as, in Manet s words, the greatest painter of all. About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions".

Baudelaire válogatott költeményei
Én nem feledtem el a város közelében - Én nem feledtem el a város közelében,/ Hol állt fehér tanyánk törpén, de csöndbe szépen;/ Ott kis kopott lugas rejtette az avitt/ Gipsz Vénusz, s Pomona mezitlen bájait./ És esténként a nap csobogo tüzben égve,/
Mig az ablakon megtört a büszke kéve,/ Nézte, mint tágranyilt, kiváncsi égi szem,/ Hogy folyik vacsoránk hosszan és csöndesen,/ S rezgett a bö sugarviasz viszfenye enyhén/ Az olcsó abroszon, a függöny tarka selymén - (Tóth Árpád fordítása)
