Jan Švankmajer - angl.
Although the art and films of Jan Švankmajer enjoy wide international recognition today, ranking him among the most original artists of the last decades, many aspects of his life and work have remained unexplored. Nor has any book yet tried to systematically and comprehensively mark out the path of the formation and development in the work of this film-maker, artist, experimenter, poet and 'militant Surrealist' and thus show how the different sides converse with each other. The present book is the most comprehensive monograph on Jan Švankmajer so far, it describes with greater depth and precision aspects of his life and work and it invites the reader to dive into a wonderfully rich and coherent, distinctive and unique universe. The essays emphasise and illuminate characteristic attributes of Švankmajer's work - puppet theatre, Mannerism, Surrealism, collaboration with Eva Švankmajerová, his own film idiom, and also comparatively little known elements such as obsessional passion for collecting, first formative years and experiences; i.e. the book deals with the periods that have not yet been much studied and which make easier to understand Švankmajer's later creative evolution. The essays are alternated with chronologically conceived biographical study which introduces and comments individual works (theatre and puppet theatre productions, scenography, drawings, assemblages, films, objects, poems), draws attention to the various artistic and intellectual events, key meetings, influences, obsessions, ideas and visions, attitudes that may have contributed to the formation of the artist's unique and specific imagination. The authors of the book not only have a deep knowledge of the work of Jan Švankmajer but share with him a kindred vision of the world. Their comprehensive reflection is complemented by anthology of Švankmajer's texts, a detailed filmography
Delta of Venus
As influential and revelatory in its day as Fifty Shades of Grey is now, Anais Nin's Delta of Venus is a groundbreaking anthology of erotic short stories, published in Penguin Modern Classics In Delta of Venus Anais Nin conjures up a glittering cascade of sexual encounters. Creating her own 'language of the senses', she explores an area that was previously the domain of male writers and brings to it her own unique perceptions. Her vibrant and impassioned prose evokes the essence of female sexuality in a world where only love has meaning. This edition includes a preface adapted from Anais Nin's diary that establishes a context for the work's gestation, and a postscript to her diary entries in which she explains her desire to use 'women's language, seeing sexual experience from a woman's point of view'. Anais Nin (1903-1977), born in Paris, was the daughter of a Franco-Danish singer and a Cuban pianist. Her first book - a defence of D. H. Lawrence - was published in the 1930s. Her prose poem, House of Incest (1936) was followed by the collection of three novellas, collected as Winter of Artifice (1939). In the 1940s she began to write erotica for an anonymous client, and these pieces are collected in Delta of Venus and Little Birds (both published posthumously). During her later years Anais Nin lectured frequently at universities throughout the USA, in 1974 and was elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters. If you enjoyed Delta of Venus, you might like Stephen Vizinczey's In Praise of Older Women, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Anais Nin excites male readers and incites female readers ...and she comes against life with a vital artistry and boldness' The New York Times Book Review

Ode to Color
Ode to Color : The Ten Essential Palettes for Living and Design
Internationally renowned textile designer Lori Weitzner presents a novel, layered perspective on the use and significance of color in design and culture in this spectacular treasury illustrated with 225 full-color images. Ode to Color, a stunning anthology by renowned and award-winning textile and wallcovering designer Lori Weitzner, principal of Lori Weitzner Design, Inc., offers an immersive, sensual, and engaging journey in the world of color as it applies to culture, design, mood, and memory. Each of the ten chapters in this richly illustrated volume presents a distinct color world through an intimate and often kaleidoscopic perspective, a compilation of the numerous-and often shifting-associations and emotions we assign to a color or group of colors. Each chapter combines diverse imagery-evocative fine art and photography, environmental interiors, details of Weitzner's gorgeous designs as well as her sketches and watercolors-with excerpts from literature and her own essays on a wide array of topics relating to the palette. The result is a fully sensory conveyance of each palette's particular power as well as a consideration of its tangible and intangible connections, from its place in religion, pop culture, and commerce to the impact it has upon our decision making, our moods, and our tastes. While each chapter is unique in its approach to the ten worlds, with its mix of essays, prose and range of art, from a Technicolor Disney cartoon in Out Loud to David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust in Silverlight, each chapter includes: An introductory essay on a subject that characterizes the palette * A two-page photographer of an open drawer in Weitzner's studio that she has arranged with various fabrics, skeins, and objects that, together, comprise the palette;* An evocative two-page word collage that presents both color names and the words commonly associated with the palette;* Design pointers that provide in-depth insight to working with color and to decorating with each palette throughout the home, from wall treatments to accessories. Spectacular and imaginative, this experiential volume will captivate, inspire, and inform a broad audience, including interior designers and decorators, architects, graphic and fine artists, and anyone interested in art, design, fashion, pop culture, and spiritual discovery. Sumptuous, beautifully designed, and filled with wondrous imagery and compelling stories and facts, it makes an inspiring and unusual gift for almost any occasion.

Women
Each of the extraordinary portraits made by photographer Annie Leibovitz for her book Women stands on its own. Looked at together, these "photographs of people with nothing more in common than that they are women (and living in America at the end of the 20th century), all--well almost all--fully clothed", writes Susan Sontag in the book's preface, form "an anthology of destinies and disabilities and new possibilities." Leibovitz, who in her years working for Rolling Stone, Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines has photographed hundreds of celebrities, turns her lens on a wide range of ordinary and extraordinary female subjects: Coal miners, socialites, first ladies, artists, domestic-violence victims, an astronaut, a surgeon, a maid. What she creates is a reflection of contemporary American womanhood that mirrors both women's accomplishments and the challenges they still face individually and as a group. Leibovitz demonstrates her own range as a photographer in this body of work, shooting in the studio and natural settings and working in both black-and-white and colour film. She depicts model Jerry Hall wearing a little black dress, a fur coat, and high heels, staring frankly at the viewer from a velvet chair in a plush red parlour while her naked infant son nurses from her exposed right breast. Schoolteacher Lamis Srour's eyes-- the only part of her face visible behind her heavy black veil--illuminate a dark black-and-white portrait. Leibovitz frames actress Elizabeth Taylor and her dog Sugar by their shocks of snow-white hair. She captures four Kilgore College Rangerettes, a drill team, at the apex of their kicks--white-booted legs pointing up, obscuring their faces and revealing the red underpants beneath their blue miniskirts. There are many more wonderful and unexpected images here, over 200 in all. The delight in discovering them awaits readers. -- Jordana Moskowitz --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Complete Maus
"The Complete Maus" by Art Spiegelman - the Pulitzer prize-winning Holocaust survivor story. "The most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust". ("Wall Street Journal"). "The first masterpiece in comic book history". ("The New Yorker"). "The Pulitzer Prize-winning "Maus" tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. "Maus" approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in 'drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust'". ("The New York Times"). "Maus" is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek's harrowing story of survival is woven into the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. This astonishing retelling of our century's grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. "Maus" studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. This combined, definitive edition includes "Maus I: A Survivor's Tale" and "Maus II". Art Spiegelman is a contributing editor and artist for the "New Yorker". His drawings and prints have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world. He won the Pulitzer Prize for "Maus", and a Guggenheim fellowship. It was also nominated for the National Book Critics Award. His other books include: "Breakdowns: From Maus to Now, an Anthology of Strips"; "The Wild Party"; "Open Me, I'm A Dog"; "Jack Cole and Plastic Man: Forms Stretched to Their Limits"; "In the Shadow of No Towers"; "Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young!"; "Be a Nose"; "Jack and the Box" and "MetaMaus". He lives in New York.

On the Waves of TSF
The famous modernist manifesto Revolutionary Anthology Devětsil, published in the winter 1922, lists two editors, Jaroslav Seifert (19011986) and Karel Teige (19001951). Similarly, we should preface the 1925 collection Na vlnách TSF (On the Waves o
f TSF) with the names of these two authors, leading representatives of the Czech avantgarde between the two World Wars and founding members of the artists group Devětsil. Karel Teige laid out the verses of his friend Jaroslav Seifert as striking typ
ographical poems. Purportedly, he depleted nearly all the font cases he could find at Obzinas printing shop. In any case, he faithfully fulfilled the precepts of poetism about the world and poetryto be multisensory. Imbued with all the beauties
of the world, Seiferts verses are introduced with a mischievously reversed paraphrase of Karel Hynek Máchas (18101836) famous words: Light grief on the face / Deep laughter in the heart. With the effortlessness mimicking wireless transmission, Sei
fert and Teige transport us to Paris (Seifert visited the City of Light with Teige in 1924), to places where pineapples grow, to Australia, Marseille, New York, to distant ocean shores, and back to the banks of the Vltava river in Pragueall this fac
ilitated, as it were, by Télégraphie sans fil (literally from French: wireless telegraphy). To be sure, the greatest concern of the lyrically gloomy narrator is joyfully unambiguous honeymoon destinations; if die we must, let us die of love... In sub
sequent editions (1938), Seiferts youthful manifesto was titled Svatební cesta (Honeymoon). Understandably so, because the changed circumstances of Czech poetry hardly allowed for stepping into the same river twice; the former associates parted ways
in their creative endeavors. Teige became a multifaceted art theoretician and embraced surrealism. After breaking with the communist party in 1929, Seifert became a lifelong social democrat and devoted himself primarily to newspaper journalism. The
first edition of Na vlnách TSF gradually became rare until only reprints allowed us to explore the sources of this visual, almost hedonistic poetry. As a reprint, the collection is appearing for the fifth time, this time in its most faithful facsimil
e incarnation and in two independent permutationsin the original Czech version and as an English-Czech remake by Zdeněk Trinkewitz, translated by Dana Loewy. The Czech-born translator lives in the United States where early in her career, she won a s
tudent translation prize by the American Translators Association (1992). Subsequently, she received an honorary mention by the foremost Czech translators association and her translations of Jaroslav Seiferts early work were published in 1997 by Hydr
a Books, a division of Northwestern University Press.

Schott's Miscellany makes few claims to be exhaustive or even practical. It does, however, claim to be essential. It will afford you great wisdom in the morning, several conversational bons mots for the afternoon, and many an enlightened smile after dark. Where else can you find, packed on to one page, the thirteen principles of witchcraft, the structure of military hierarchy, all of the clothing care symbols, a list of the countries where you drive on the left, and a nursery rhyme about sneezing? Where else, but "Schott's Miscellany", will you stumble across John Lennon's cat, the supplier of bagpipes to the Queen, and the brutal methods of murder encountered by Miss Marple? An encyclopaedia? A dictionary? An almanac? An anthology? A treasury? An amphigouri? A commonplace? A vade-mecum? Well - yes. "Schott's Original Miscellany" is all these, and, of course, more. A book like no other, "Schott's Original Miscellany" is entertaining, informative, unpredictable and utterly addictive.

Lacná kniha A magyar jazz története (-90%)
Idén ötven éve annak, hogy megjelent az Anthology '64, rajta a hatvanas évekbeli modern magyar jazz 13 legjobb formációjával. Ez a könyv azonban nemcsak az azóta eltelt fél évszázad legfontosabb műfajtörténeti eseményeit, szereplőit, folyamatait, dokumentumait mutatja be, hanem azt is, hogy mi volt ennek az előzménye. Hogy az egykoron New Orleansban született, majd a harmincas évekre Amerikát meghódító jazz hogyan jelent meg - mintegy a szabadság szimbólumaként - a két világháború közötti Európában, így Magyarországon is. Hogy miként tiltották először a németek, majd az oroszok, és miként vetették be "kulturális trójai falóként" az amerikaiak. Hogy mindezek ellenére miként élt tovább az ötvenes évek fővárosi éjszakai életében, majd miként csúszott át a tiltottból a tűrt kategóriába, s tör(hetet)t a felszínre a hatvanas évek legelején. S hogy a kezdeti óvatos lépésektől - a Dália Klubtól, a Modern Jazz lemezsorozattól és a jazztanszak megalakulásától - mennyire göröngyös, ám sok színes egyéniséget és produkciót felmutató utat járt be a műfaj, mire eljutott odáig, hogy immár a Liszt Ferenc Zeneművészeti Egyetem keretein belül oktatják.
Az évforduló apropóján megszületett tehát a magyar jazz történetét átfogóan feldolgozó első olyan könyv, amely nemcsak a szűk szakmának, hanem a szélesebb nagyközönségnek is szól, szakszerű, de közérthető, olvasmányos stílusban. Olyan muzsikus nagyságokról, mint Martiny Lajos, Kovács Gyula, Pege Aladár, Vukán György, Szakcsi Lakatos Béla, Dés László, Szabados György, Dresch Mihály, Tóth Viktor vagy Oláh Kálmán, s olyan korszakos formációkról, mint a Benkó Dixieland Band, a Syrius, a Rákfogó, az Interbrass, a Trio Stendhal, a Trio Midnight vagy a Modern Art Orchestra.
A magyar jazz története egyszerre kultúrtörténeti munka, szakkönyv és olvasmányos "sztori", melyet nemcsak a közművelődésben, az oktatásban és a médiában dolgozók használhatnak alapvető forrásként, hanem a műfaj iránt érdeklődők is.
