A Life of Picasso Volume IV
The beautifully illustrated, long-awaited final volume of John Richardson's magisterial Life of Picasso, drawing on original research from interviews and never-before-seen material in the Picasso family archives.
The Minotaur Years opens in 1933 with a visit by the Hungarian-French photographer Brassai to Picasso's chateau in Normandy, Boisgeloup, where he would take his iconic photographs of the celebrated plaster busts of Picasso's lover Marie-Therese Walter. Picasso was contributing to Andre Breton's Minotaur magazine and spending time with the likes of Man Ray, Salvador Dali, Lee Miller, and the poet Paul Eluard, in Paris and the south of France. It was during this time that Picasso began writing surrealist poetry and became obsessed with the image of himself as the mythic Minotaur.
Richardson shows us the artist being as prolific as ever, painting Walter, as well as the surrealist photographer Dora Maar, who became a muse, collaborator and lover. The bombing of Guernica in April 1937 would inspire Picasso's vast masterwork of the same name, which he painted in just a few weeks for the Spanish Pavilion at the Paris World's Fair. When the Nazis occupied Paris in 1940, Picasso chose to remain in the city despite the threat that his art would be confiscated. In 1943, Picasso met Francoise Gilot who would replace Maar and inspire a brilliant new sequence of paintings.
As always, Richardson tells Picasso's story through his work, analysing how it shows what the artist was feeling and thinking. His fascinating and illuminating narrative immerses us in one of the most exciting moments in twentieth-century cultural history, and brings to a close the definitive and critically acclaimed biography of one of the world's most celebrated artists.

Hitting A Straight Lick With A Crooked Stick
In 1925, college student Zora Neale Hurston - the sole black student at Barnard College, New York - was living in the city, 'desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world.'
During this period, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life and transformed her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later, this singular talent is recognised as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period.
Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume, they include eight of Hurston's 'lost' Harlem stories, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives.
These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting, satiric humour, as well as more serious tales reflective of the cultural currents of Hurston's world. All are timeless classics that enrich our understanding and appreciation of this exceptional writer's voice and her contributions to America's literary traditions.

The Hitler Years Disaster 1940-1945
The second volume in a new, immensely readable narrative of the rise and catastrophic fall of the Nazi regime by a respected expert on the Third Reich.
At the beginning of 1940 Germany was at the pinnacle of its power. By May 1945 Hitler was dead and Germany had suffered a disastrous defeat.
Hitler had failed to achieve his aim of making Germany a super power and had left her people to cope with the endless shame of the Holocaust.
In The Hitler Years ~ Disaster 1940-1945, Professor Frank McDonough charts the dramatic change of fortune for the Third Reich, and challenges long-held accounts of the Holocaust and Germany's ultimate defeat.
Despite Hitler's grand ambitions and the successful early stages of the Third Reich's advances into Europe, Frank McDonough argues that Germany was only ever a middle-ranking power and never truly stood a chance against the combined forces of the Allies.

Když projížděl Chruščov naší vesnicí
Povídky albánského spisovatele, diplomata a pedagoga Ylljeta Aliçky nás přivádějí do země, o jejíchž reáliích u nás panuje stále velmi slabé povědomí. Výrazně to platí o albánské literatuře, která se v českých překladech vyskytuje jen zcela ojediněle. Vedle světově proslulého literáta, Ismaila Kadareho, se tak Ylljet Aliçka stává teprve druhým žijícím albánským spisovatelem, jehož tvorba se českým čtenářům zpřístupňuje. Čím si Aliçka tuto pozornost zasluhuje?
Jeho povídky poutavou formou poodkrývají každodenní realitu života v Albánii v době komunismu a také v prvním desetiletí po jeho pádu. Autor přitom v jejich sepsání vycházel převážně z vlastních životních zkušeností, což cizincům dovoluje lépe pochopit syrovost, absurditu a krutost života v zemi, jež ve druhé polovině minulého století prošla specifickým historickým vývojem stěží srovnatelným s jinou evropskou zemí. S ohledem na kontext Aliçkových povídek je žádoucí si tento vývoj v krátkosti připomenout.
Na sklonku druhé světové války se k moci dostali komunisté v čele s Enverem Hodžou (1908-1985). Až do roku 1948 byla Albánie úzce napojena na Titovu Jugoslávii a komunistická vedení obou zemí aktivně připravovala začlenění Albánie do jugoslávské federace. Teprve roztržka Stalina s Titem v roce 1948 přeměnila Albánii v běžný sovětský satelit. Hodžovo vedení se nekompromisně zbavilo všech dřívějších projugoslávských členů vládnoucí strany a ostrá rétorika proti dřívějšímu spojenci se stala klíčovým ideologickým pilířem stalinistického režimu v Tiraně. Těžkou ranou pro albánsko-sovětské spojenectví, z něhož země významně ekonomicky profitovala, bylo úmrtí Stalina v roce 1953 a kritika jeho kultu ze strany nového sovětského vedení. Sovětské pokusy o nové sblížení s Bělehradem byly albánskými komunisty sledovány s nedůvěrou a obavami o vlastní pozici. Neochota Envera Hodži zahájit proces destalinizace ve vlastní zemi a zároveň nelibost Sovětů nad albánskými megalomanskými průmyslovými projekty přivedlo nakonec Albánii k druhé roztržce, tentokrát se SSSR a jejími satelity. Na zasedání komunistických a dělnických stran v Moskvě v roce 1960 vystoupila albánská delegace ostře proti Chruščovově politice destalinizace a v propukajícím sovětsko-čínském ideologickém a mocenském sporu se postavila na stranu asijské mocnosti. Odvážný krok malé země, motivovaný pouze mocenskými zájmy její politické elity, dovedl Albánce do poněkud kuriózního spojenectví se vzdálenou Čínou, která ale do značné míry pomohla překlenout výpadek předchozí hospodářské pomoci sovětského bloku. Albánie se na oplátku stala pro Čínu jakýmsi hlasem na mezinárodní scéně, neboť pekingští komunisté se až do začátku 70. let nacházeli v naprosté mezinárodní izolaci. Peking neměl své křeslo ani v OSN. Pročínský kurz a objevující se hospodářské potíže se v Albánii projevily sílící mobilizační kampaní, která měla zajistit masivnější zapojení Albánců do výstavby socialismu a odpoutat jejich pozornost od narůstajících hospodářských problémů. Pod její rouškou režim likvidoval zbytky potenciálně nebezpečných skupin obyvatelstva. V roce 1967 tak mj. vyvrcholila protináboženská kampaň, která postavila mimo zákon všechny náboženské instituce a vedla k uzavření všech svatostánků v zemi. Albánie byla prohlášena za ateistický stát, což poté stvrdila nová ústava v roce 1976. Pod hlavičkou boje proti byrokratismu byly také tisíce lidí přesunuty na venkov. Na jedné straně se tak vládnoucí skupina zbavila nepohodlných osob v důležitých centrech moci a na straně druhé příchod relativně vzdělaných kádrů na venkov přispěl k rozbití tradičních kmenově rodových struktur venkovské společnosti, autority jejích vůdců a religiozity venkova. Tyto kampaně nazývané dobovou propagandou jako „další revolucionarizace života“ v jistém ohledu kopírovaly čínskou kulturní revoluci. Na rozdíl od Číny se však v Albánii tento proces nevymkl vládnoucí straně z rukou a ve svém důsledku vedl k posílení kultu osobnosti Envera Hodži a k nacionalizaci albánské komunistické ideologie. Obavy z možné zahraniční intervence, které zesílily po vpádu vojsk Varšavské smlouvy do Československa v srpnu 1968, se odrazily také v mohutné militarizaci země. Obyvatelstvo, včetně žen, se povinně účastnilo vojenských cvičení a do pádu komunismu byly v Albánii postaveny statisíce betonových bunkrů, které měly zemi ochránit před vnějším nepřítelem. Albánsko-čínské spojenectví se nakonec stalo obětí racionalizace čínské politiky. Navazování kontaktů se západními zeměmi včetně USA a slábnoucí čínská ochota financovat albánskou industrializaci zapříčinily v druhé polovině 70. let ideologický a politický rozchod obou zemí. Stejně jako v případě Jugoslávie a sovětského bloku začala Albánie obviňovat i Čínu ze zrady marxisticko-leninských principů. V období od roku 1978 do smrti Envera Hodži v roce 1985 se Albánie nacházela v naprosté mezinárodní izolaci, která se projevila v dramaticky se zhoršující životní úrovni obyvatel. Politický kurz Hodžova nástupce Ramize Alii navazoval na předchozí politiku, ale následkem hospodářského kolapsu a událostí v Evropě na konci 80. let byl nakonec donucen k opatrným reformám a otevírání země světu. Masivní demonstrace pak na počátku 90. let vedly i v Albánii k pádu komunistického režimu.
Každodenní pídění po základním zboží probíhalo v atmosféře permanentní propagandistické masáže, vyžadující naprostou konformitu s režimem, a ve strachu před všudypřítomnými spolupracovníky tajné policie. Jakákoliv odchylka od norem stanovených stranickými ideology byla drakonicky postihována. Poslech zahraniční hudby nebo četba zakázané literatury neznamenaly jen ztrátu zaměstnání či vyloučení ze studia, ale obvinění ještě v 80. letech končili ve věznicích nebo pracovních táborech s mnohaletými tresty odnětí svobody.
Několik desetiletí trvající stalinistická vláda diktátora Envera Hodži se sice na počátku 90. let 20. století zhroutila, avšak zbídačení země, dlouhá mezinárodní izolace, rychlý přechod od autarkie k dravému kapitalismu a nulová demokratická tradice vedly k politické a sociální nestabilitě provázené hromadným exodem obyvatelstva. Složité období počátků albánské demokracie vyvrcholilo v roce 1997 bankrotem země, ozbrojeným povstáním a zhroucením státní autority, která zemi vrhla do všeobecného chaosu. Většina území státu byla ovládána ozbrojenými gangy, kterým se do rukou dostaly zbraně z vyrabovaných armádních skladů. Zároveň došlo k polarizaci obyvatel – na příznivce tehdejšího prezidenta Saliho Beriši a příznivce opozičních socialistů v čele s Fatosem Nanem. Opozice obviňovala Berišu, že jeho vláda podporovala finanční instituce, které začátkem roku 1997 zkrachovaly, a že povstání na jihu země chtěl potlačit armádou. Nepokoje trvaly asi půl roku a vyžádaly si kolem 2000 lidských životů.
Nelehké období albánských dějin v druhé polovině 20. století Aliçka představuje očima neelitních skupin obyvatelstva. K čtenáři tak promlouvají prosté venkovské ženy, vězni, primitivní bachaři, venkovští učitelé, studenti či namyšlení místní straničtí funkcionáři a jejich mnohdy úsměvné až tragikomické příběhy skládají pestrou mozaiku těžko uvěřitelné albánské reality v době nedávné. Vezmeme-li v potaz české zkušenosti s komunistickým režimem a dobou transformace v 90. letech, nabízí se českému čtenáři prostřednictvím Aliçkových povídek zajímavé srovnání…

Akira: Art Of Wall
AD 2019: The year the world caught up to AKIRA. Two years before this milestone, author Katsuhiro Otomo worked with artist Kosuke Kawamura to enrobe a Tokyo city block in a collage of gripping moments from the manga that revolutionized an art form. Then, over the next two years, he did it twice more. The result: three electifying compilations of Otomo's art, meandering across the city. And now you can take them home.
From 2017-2019, the throngs passing through Tokyo's emblematic Shibuya neighborhood were lucky enough to witness a massive art project. The PARCO department store was closed for renovation, and Katsuhiro Otomo and collage artist Kosuke Kawamura seized on the opportunity to stretch Otomo's landmark manga AKIRA across the barriers separating the construction site from the bustling nightlife of Shibuya, Tokyo.
When the project was completed, it was 2019: the very year the story of AKIRA began. To commemorate this milestone, a silver foil-coated collector's box presents an exquisite reproduction of Otomo and Kawamura's work, with the specifications overseen and approved by Otomo-sensei personally. Nearly 75 feet (22.7 meters) of illustrations, speech balloons, and text selected from AKIRA's six volumes stretch across three accordion-bound volumes. A fourth volume includes an exclusive interview with Otomo and Kawamura, as well as photographs of the original exhibition by award-winning photographer TAKAMURADAISUKE. Rounding out the box is a dramatic, 16.5x23.4-inch poster.
In this form, Kawamura's recontextualization of Otomo's manga is reminiscent of traditional Japanese emaki (picture scrolls), the narrative scrolls that some scholars see as manga's most ancient ancestors.
Don't miss this change to own a singular artifact in the history of anime and manga.

Josef Albers
Previously unseen early works and other unpublished material from the pioneering Bauhaus polymath
This publication considers Josef Albers' early development as an artist, beginning with the pre-Bauhaus years when he worked as an elementary school teacher in his native Bottrop in Western Germany, while sketching the landscape and architecture of his home town and studying courses in art by night. With a particular focus on works on paper, the book reveals not only the unappreciated naturalistic origins of his art, but also his ongoing interest in producing organic, surrealistic forms alongside the geometric abstraction for which he is best known. It presents dozens of prints, paintings and drawings from the first half of his career, as well as previously unseen photographs of the artist at work and on research trips to the ancient sites of Mexico where he found important sources of inspiration for his art and theories. With texts by two recognized Albers scholars, this volume offers a fresh and surprising view of a celebrated pioneer of modernism.
German-born artist Josef Albers (1888-1976) laid the foundations for some of the most important art education programs of the 20th century. In 1936, during his time working at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, he had his first solo exhibition in New York at J.B. Neumann's New Art Circle. In 1949, Albers left the college and began his famous Homage to the Square series. He taught at various institutions throughout America, including Yale University, New Haven. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, organized Albers' traveling exhibition in 1965 and a retrospective of his work was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, in 1971. He died in 1976.
