The Free World: Art and Thought in the Cold War
The Cold War was not just a contest of power. It was also about ideas, in the broadest sense - economic and political, artistic and personal.
In The Free World, the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar and critic Louis Menand tells the story of American culture in the pivotal years from the end of World War II to Vietnam and stresses the rich flow of ideas across the Atlantic.
How did elitism and an anti-totalitarian scepticism of passion and ideology give way to a new sensibility defined by experimentation and loving the Beatles? How was the ideal of 'freedom' applied to causes that ranged from anti-communism and civil rights to radical acts of self-creation via art and even crime? With the wit and insight familiar to readers of The Metaphysical Club, Menand takes us inside Hannah Arendt's Manhattan, the Paris of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and the post-war vogue for French existentialism, structuralism and post-structuralism.
He also shows how Europeans played a vital role in promoting and influencing American art and thought, revealing how America's once neglected culture became respected and adored. With unprecedented verve and range, this book offers a masterly account of the main characters and minor figures who played part in shaping the post-war world of art and thought.
The Serpent and the Wings of Night
The Hunger Games meets vampires in the first book of the New York Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, a heart-wrenching, epic fantasy romance of dark magic and bloodthirsty intrigue.
Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always - always - guard your heart.
The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.
But winning won't be easy, pitting Oraya against the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, she will be forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.
Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father's crown - and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.
But there's no room for compassion in the Kejari - and nothing more deadly than love...
Markets and Staples in the Medieval Hungarian Kingdom
This book discusses medieval markets and depots, places of commercial activity in the Kingdom of Hungary, and their many interactions, and how they developed and changed over time. The system went through many changes as new demands arose over the centuries, but permanence and characteristic feature. In the early Kingdom of Hungary only the king could hold markets, but clerical and secular landowners gradually aquired market rights in later times. The only prerogative retained by the king was the power to grant a franchise for a market. Kings may have created the institutional basis for trade, but markets followed their own course of development in the way operated.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.

Liptov ľudové umenie Folk Art
To čo sa v súčasnosti nazýva ľudovým umením, bolo v minulosti súčasťou každodenného života človeka. Ľudový výrobca pracoval s praktickým cieľom a jeho výrobky charakterizoval dokonalý súlad materiálu a techniky, funkcie a výzdoby. Každá vec ktorú zhotovil, musela byť taká, aby slúžila a aj ukázala, spájala sa v nej krása materiálu, výzdoby a účelnosti. Ľudia v Liptove spracovávali prírodné materiály a zhotovovali predmety, ktoré im slúžili v každodennom živote. Najpoužívanejšie boli predmety z dreva potrebné v domácnosti a gazdovstve, ale aj nábytok. Z prútia, korienkov a slamy sa plietli koše a košíky, hrnčiari robili a vypaľovali hlinené krčahy, misy, hrnce, pekáče a aj kachlice. Ovčiari si vyrezávali salašnícky riad, formy na oštiepky a črpáky na žinčicu. Ich oblečenie charakterizovala tzv. valaská paráda – bohato zdobené opasky, kapsy, klobúky, pracky a spony. Z ovčej vlny ľudia robili súkno, ktoré im slúžilo na odievanie, šili si z neho zimnú obuv a tiež používali ako prikrývky. Z koží oviec zruční remeselníci šili veľké mužské a ženské kožuchy, ale aj zdobené vesty bez rukávov. Ženy spracovávali ľanové a konopné vlákna, tkali z nich plátno, ktoré ozdobovali vytkávanými alebo vyšívanými vzormi. Modrotlačiari farbili biele plátno a potláčali ho krásnymi farebnými vzormi. Je potešiteľné, že takmer všetky výrobné a remeselné techniky a postupy sa v regióne uchovali až do súčasnosti ako živá tradícia.

The Art of Living: Reflections on Mindfulness and the Overexamined Life
A humorous, uplifting look at mindfulness, from beloved illustrator Grant Snider"Find a quiet spot away from all distraction / Listen to your breath / Watch your thoughts float past you / Forget the obligations of today / Try not to consider your eventual decay / Let yourself drift away / Arise, connected with the Earth / Awakened to the Universe.""Mindfulness" is a buzzword bordering on the cliche, with books filling the shelves of any indie bookstore you step into. Although cliches remind us of the familiar and the commonplace, they take on new meaning and greater significance when presented in a fresh new way. In The Art of Living, cartoonist Grant Snider, author of The Shape of Ideas and I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf, has created an all-new collection of one- and two-page comics that map his inner thoughts, poetic observations, and frequent failures at living mindfully. With both humor and a touch of reality, The Art of Living centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness-evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever. With a striking package that includes a die-cut cover, The Art of Living is an extension of the themes of Snider's first two books-which explored the creative process and the love of reading-and is the perfect gift for those in a need of reflection, commiseration, hope, and a little extra self-care. Above all, Snider's cartoons will inspire and encourage a more thoughtful way of experiencing the world.

The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen
The Art of Alice and Martin Provensen is the first-ever monograph on this beloved midcentury husband-and-wife illustration team. This award-winning pair created more than 40 beloved children's books over the span of seven decades, many of which appeared on the New York Times Best Illustrated Books of the Year lists. From early favorites for Golden Books such as The Color Kittens by Margaret Wise Brown, 1949, to their Caldecott-winning title The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel with Louis Bleriot, 1983, the Provensens' books inspired generations of young readers. Original paintings for their beloved classics such as A Child's Garden of Verses, 1951, The Iliad and the Odyssey, 1959, Myths and Legends, 1960 and many others, are beautifully reproduced and included here.
This comprehensive volume showcases hundreds of their well-known illustrations, as well as many never-before-seen paintings, drawings, and exquisite sketchbooks from their travels around the world. An interview with their daughter Karen Provensen Mitchell illuminates their life and career and includes many personal photographs, quotes, speeches, and memorabilia from their archive. An introduction by Leonard S. Marcus, a leading historian in children's literature, underscores the Provensen's importance and influence as illustrators and authors. Additionally, noted publisher and close family friend Robert Gottlieb, provides a personal essay that shares many of his memories with this cherished couple.
The Provensens' colorful, inimitable artwork is a treasure trove that has influenced generations of children, designers, illustrators, historians, and all who cherish classic children's books.
