Bird by Bird
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An essential volume for generations of writers young and old. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this modern classic will continue to spark creative minds for years to come. Anne Lamott is "a warm, generous, and hilarious guide through the writer’s world and its treacherous swamps" (Los Angeles Times).
“Superb writing advice…. Hilarious, helpful, and provocative.” —The New York Times Book Review
For a quarter century, more than a million readers—scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities—have been inspired by Anne Lamott’s hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne’s father—also a writer—in the iconic passage that gives the book its title:
“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he’d had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, ‘Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.’”
Ladislav Hodný
Pro milovníky umění je určena výpravná a velmi pečlivě vypravená monografie jednoho z našich největších současných výtvarných umělců Ladislava Hodného.
Monografii vydal trojjazyčně (slovensky, německy, anglicky) Top Management Holding EU pro slovenskou galerie Artisti&Co, která umělce již mnoho let výhradně zastupuje po celém světě.
Ladislav Hodný (1943):
Od dětství toužil malovat, zprvu splnil přání svého otce a stal, stejně jako on, uměleckým knihařem. V osmdesátých letech minulého století byl dokonce dvorním knihařem Lyry Pragensis, což byla ve své době prestižní a svým způsobem nezávislá umělecká instituce. Logicky tak ve své výtvarné tvorbě zprvu navazoval na svá předchozí díla.
Těžiště tvorby zajímají abstraktní velkoformátová plátna. Ve skutečnosti přenáší motivy a techniky z knižních vazeb do velkých ploch a je až zvláštní, jak lehce dosahuje dokonalé harmonické rovnováhy ve svých obrazech. Inspiruje ho hudba, miluje jazz, krajina, ale sám říká, že jeho inspirací je vlastně vše a malování jej osvobozuje. Je to jeho nitěrný soukromý duševní ráj, naplněný intenzivními pocity rozkoše, radosti a vzrušení. Často kombinuje na obrazech různé techniky, vrstvení, proškrabávání, krakelování a využívá i zlatou fólii. Typickým znakem jeho tvorby je expresivní barevnost, harmonizující s Hodného osobním cítěním.
Ladislav Hodný se zúčastnil mnoha mezinárodních sympozií, kromě jiného i v roce 1997 Helen Warren Triennial Exhibition and Award for America Booking. Je členem Jednoty výtvarných umělců, Asociace jihočeských výtvarníků, členem Book Art Center v New Yorku a také členem Designer Book Binders v Londýně.
Jeho tvorba je zastoupena v mnoha sbírkách po celém světě, ale i v UMPRUM v Praze či v Moravském zemském muzeu v Brně.

Star Trek: Voyager - Kruh se uzavírá
Chakotay převzal velení lodi a Voyager je vyslán odpovědět na nouzové volání k planetě Kerovi. Spolu s prvním důstojníkem, nadporučíkem Tomem Parisem, si musí vybrat, zda uposlechnout rozkazy, nebo raději zachránit dva životy, které jsou jim nejdražší. Po brutálním útoku na klingonský svět Boreth se totiž pohřešuje B’Elanna Torresová i s dcerou Miral. S pomocí admirála Janewayové, a mnoha starých přátel i nových spojenců, se posádka musí vypořádat s prastarým tajemstvím, které je uvrhne mezi dvě válčící sekty a boj o duši klingonského lidu.
Život Miral mezitím visí na vlásku…
Ale tyto události a jejich následky jsou pouze předehrou k ještě temnějším dnům. Když je Voyager zatažen do zoufalého boje, do událostí Volání osudu, jsou křehké životy posádky v ohrožení stejně tak, jako vazby vytvořené mezi nimi v kvadrantu Delta. Ačkoli jim osud utržil zdrcující rány, musí se posádka vzchopit, aby čelila budoucnosti.
Začíná nebezpečná cesta, na jejímž konci se kruh uzavírá.
A Ballet of Lepers
An uncovered novel from the world's greatest lyricist Leonard Cohen.
In A Ballet of Lepers Leonard Cohen explores themes that would come to permeate his later works - shame stemming from feelings of unworthiness; sexual desire, in all its sacred and profane dimensions; and longing, whether it be for love, family, freedom or transcendence. A haunting examination of these elements in tandem, this novel and stories are about toxic relationships and the lengths we go to maintain them.
Meditative and surprising, A Ballet of Lepers offers a playful, provocative and penetrating glimpse into the world-weary lives of Cohen's characters, and a window into the early art of a storytelling master.
About the Author
Leonard Cohen began his artistic career in 1956 with the publication of his first book of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies. He went on to publish 12 more books, including two celebrated novels, and gained worldwide recognition as an iconic singer-songwriter. He released 14 studio albums, including three in the last years of his life when he also became one of the most acclaimed arena-performing artists in the world.
Among his numerous honours, he is the recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award 2010, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 2011, the inaugural New England PEN Award for Excellence in Lyrics 2012, the 2016 Juno Awards for Song of the Year and Album of the Year, and he has been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the US Songwriters Hall of Fame. He died in November 2016.
