The Nutcracker
Written in 1816 by the German Romantic E. T. A. Hoffmann for his children, nephews and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child's wonder at Christmas. Since its publication, it has inspired hundreds of artists and adaptations, most notably the legendary ballet, scored by Russian composer Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Today, the story - and its enchanting images of sugar plums and nutcrackers, mistletoe and the Kingdom of the Dolls - continues to cast its fantastical spell on readers of all ages.
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was one of the major figures of European Romanticism, specializing in tales of the fantastical and uncanny. He was also a music critic, jurist, composer and caricaturist. His Tales of Hoffmann, available in Penguin Classics, includes such masterpieces as 'Mademoiselle de Scudery', one of the earliest example of crime fiction, and Hoffmann's terrifying version of 'The Sandman'.
Joachim Neugroschel won three PEN translation awards and the French-American Foundation Translation Prize. He translated Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, among other works, for Penguin Classics.
Ando. Complete Works 1975-Today. 2023 Edition
Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize.
Philippe Starck defines him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom.
This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Bourse de Commerce in Paris and the Nakanoshima Children’s Book Forest in Osaka. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms.
Featuring designs from award-winning private homes, churches, museums, and apartment complexes to cultural spaces throughout Japan, South Korea, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and the USA, this XXL-edition brings you up close and personal with a Modernist master.
Also available in an Art Edition limited to 100 copies, with an original sketch signed by Tadao Ando and a Natural Oak box designed by Ando.
Twilight - Alkonyat
Forks fölött mindig felhős az ég. Bella Swan, az érzékeny, zárkózott lány afféle önkéntes száműzetésre ítéli magát, amikor ide költözik apjához. Bella alapjáraton is mágnesként vonzza a bajt, ezúttal azonban nem csak a "mindennapi" csetlések-botlások fenyegetik. Hanem Ő. Ő, akinek aranyszín szeme van, titokzatos, szeszélyes, kiszámíthatatlan, félelmet keltő és biztonságot sugárzó. Ő, akit Edwardnak hívnak, mint valami ódivatú regény hősét. Ő, aki megmenti az életét. Ő, aki mégis a legnagyobb veszélyt jelenti Bella számára. Az indián rezervátumban furcsa, félelmetes mesék keringenek. És egy nap a legenda megelevenedik.

Bell Hooks: The Last Interview
bell hooks was a prolific, trailblazing author, feminist, social activist, cultural critic, and professor. Born Gloria Jean Watkins, bell used her pen name to center attention on her ideas and to honor her courageous great-grandmother, Bell Blair Hooks.
hooks’s unflinching dedication to her work carved deep grooves for the feminist and anti-racist movements. In this collection of 7 interviews, stretching from early in her career until her last interview, she discusses feminism, the complexity of rap music and masculinity, her relationship to Buddhism, the “politic of domination,” sexuality, and love and the importance of communication across cultural borders. Whether she was sparking controversy on campuses or facing criticism from contemporaries, hooks relentlessly challenged herself and those around her, inserted herself into the tensions of the cultural moment, and anchored herself with love.

The Talk
A pressing graphic memoir on 'the talk' in which parents must break it to Black children that the world hates them, from the only winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning
Darrin Bell was six years old when he had The Talk: his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun. She said she feared for his safety, that police tend to think of little Black boys as older and less innocent than they really are.
Through evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Bell examines how The Talk shaped intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles - and finding a voice through cartooning - Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbours and police officers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans, and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.
Iron and Blood
Iron and Blood is a startlingly ambitious and absorbing book, encompassing five centuries of political, military, technological and economic change to tell the story of the German-speaking lands, from the Rhine to the Balkan frontier, from Switzerland to the North Sea. Wilson's narrative considers everything from weapons development to recruitment to battlefield strategy.
Germans' military impact on the rest of Europe has been immense. If there is one constant it has been the sense of being beset by seemingly more powerful enemies - France or Russia or Turkey - and the need to strike a rapid knockout blow to ensure a favourable result. Almost inevitably, this has in practice meant protracted, relentless and often unwinnable wars, and - in 1939-1945 - moral catastrophe.
The author of definitive books on the Holy Roman Empire and the Thirty Years War, Peter Wilson has with Iron and Blood written his masterpiece.

Maria, matka Ježíšova
Maria je jedním z největších darů, jaké kdy lidstvo od Ježíše dostalo. Proto se nesmíme bát se jí otevřít a přijmout ji do svého života. Ovšem pouze ji zbožně obdivovat a oddaně uctívat nestačí. Je třeba, aby se v našem životě stala živou přítomností, charismatem, zkušeností a vzorem. Ježíš nám dal všechno, co měl – své tělo, svou krev, svou slávu a moc i svého Ducha. Jediné, co si ponechal téměř až do konce, byla jeho matka. Přesto však, těsně před smrtí, nám ji skrze apoštola Jana dal. Nesvěřil, ale dal. Věděl, že život bez matky je ochuzený o její něžnost, laskavost, lásku a radost, že bez matky se žít nedá. Elias Vella nám ukazuje, jak přijmout Marii za svou matku, jak se jí nechat vést v učednictví a v lásce vůči jejímu Synu, k němuž nás ona doprovází a směruje.

Lacná kniha Hetedik ecloga (-90%)
"Második kötetéhez érkezett "Egy vers" sorozatunk. A sorozatszerkesztő Pomogáts Béla választása a szebbnél szebb Radnóti-versek közül azért esett a Hetedik eclogára, "mert ez a vers ma figyelmeztetés: a ma is kiszolgáltatott helyzetbe került humánum vallomása, amely ugyanakkor nem nélkülözi a reményt". A vers megtalálása és első közlése óta keletkezett recepciójából nyújtunk át egy csokorravalót, hogy a magunk gondolatai mellé megismerhessük másokét (költőkét, írókét, irodalmárokét) is." (A kiadó)

A magyar szecesszió bútorművészete
A XIX. század végén kibontakozó és a XX. század első évtizedében virágzó szecesszió az iparművészetben teljesedett ki. A nemzetközi stílusirányzatok hatására és a hazai stíluskeresés eredményeként átformálódott a magyar bútorművészet is. A nemzeti stílus megteremtését célzó törekvések létrehozták a szecesszió magyaros változatát, egyes tervezők külföldi példákat követtek, a néprajzi kutatások a népi bútorformákat és díszítőelemeket emelték be a polgári otthonok falai közé. A tervezők köré csoportosított tárgyak a hazai bútorművészet eredményein keresztül mutatják be a magyar szecesszió sokszínűségét. A kötet ismert életművek -Lechner Ödön, Horti Pál, Toroczkai Wigand Ede, Lajta Béla, Kozma Lajos- darabjai mellett olyan, szinte elfelejtett művészek alkotásait is bemutatja, mint Pálinkás Béla, Wessely Vilmos vagy Menyhért Miklós. A kötet a bútorok mellett tervek, rajzok, archív felvételek segítségével igyekszik minél teljesebb képet adni egy-egy alkotói pályáról és a korszak bútorművészetéről.

Riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií
Žiaduci rozvoj miest a obcí a zabezpečovanie potrieb obyvateľstva i regiónov naráža na obmedzené vlastné prostriedky i na obmedzené úverové zdroje. Mestá a obce vo vyspelých krajinách namiesto úveru čoraz viac využívajú iný spôsob získavania potrebných finančných prostriedkov, a to emisiou komunálnych obligácií a iných cenných papierov. K emitovaniu cenných papierov ako spôsobu financovania verejných investícií sa u nás vraciame po mnohých desaťročiach a bez veľkých skúseností. Dá sa však očakávať, že tento spôsob získavania prostriedkov bude stále častejší. V publikácii sa podrobne a do hĺbky rozoberá systém, spôsoby a podmienky emisie cenných papierov na úrovni municipalít. Publikácia sa člení na štyri časti. V prvej z nich sa autori zaoberajú základnými druhmi a derivátmi komunálnych obligácií a popisujú ich charakteristické znaky. Druhá časť osobitne zaujme finančných manažérov v oblasti samosprávy, lebo obsahuje oceňovanie a kritériá výnosov z komunálnych obligácií a spôsoby merania ich potenciálnej cenovej volatility pri zmenách úrokových sadzieb. Tretia časť je venovaná analýze, ktorá je potrebná na zhodnotenie úverovej kvality komunálnych obligácií. Týka sa úverovej spoľahlivosti rôznych typov komunálnych obligácií pre investorov, spoločností zaoberajúcich sa úverovým ratingom týchto obligácií, nových prvkov oceňovania potenciálneho úverového rizika. Upozorňuje na všetky otázky, ktoré musia byť zodpovedané pri každom úvere a zárukách ešte pred analýzou rizík. Vo štvrtej časti sa autori sústreďujú na riadenie portfólia komunálnych obligácií, rôzne investičné stratégie a metódu celkovej výnosovosti pri oceňovaní potenciálnych výsledkov jednotlivých stratégií. V prílohe publikácie nájde zasvätený čitateľ charakteristiku určitých odlišností komunálnych obligácií, v rámci ktorej autori obracajú jeho pozornosť na tie, čo sa vyznačujú špecifickými silnými a slabými stránkami. Publikácia orientuje samosprávne orgány na zvýšenie miery ekonomickej sebestačnosti, závisiacej len od ich vlastnej aktivity a umožňuje im získať zdroje príjmov, ktoré sú vopred plánovateľné pri zostavovaní rozpočtu.

In the Beginning: Anselm Kiefer & Photography
The first book to consider Kiefer's photography and use of photographs in his wider artistic practice.
Known for his monumental painting and installations, the internationally celebrated artist Anselm Kiefer's works are marked by a constant questioning of history and collective memory. Born in Germany two months before the Nazi capitulation in 1945, Kiefer's reflections on post-war identity, loss, and shared experience, nourished by myths and literature, create an unparalleled breadth of imagery.
The use of photography as both practice and source material is a little-known aspect of Kiefer's art that has played a central role throughout his career. This book presents over 130 works charting the artist's relationship with photography, and his investigations into what images reveal.
