The Lees of Happiness
This short story was first published in the "Chicago Tribune," and first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922."Of this story I can say that it came to me in an irresistible form, crying to be written. It will be accused perhaps of being a mere piece of sentimentality, but, as I saw it, it was a great deal more. If, therefore, it lacks the ring of sincerity, or even, of tragedy, the fault rests not with the theme but with my handling of it.It appeared in the "Chicago Tribune," and later obtained, I believe, the quadruple gold laurel leaf or some such encomium from one of the anthologists who at present swarm among us. The gentleman I refer to runs as a rule to stark melodramas with a volcano or the ghost of John Paul Jones in the role of Nemesis, melodramas carefully disguised by early paragraphs in Jamesian manner which hint dark and subtle complexities to follow. On this order:"The case of Shaw McPhee, curiously enough, had no hearing on the almost incredible attitude of Martin Sulo. This is parenthetical and, to at least three observers, whose names for the present I must conceal, it seems improbable, etc., etc., etc.," until the poor rat of fiction is at last forced out into the open and the melodrama begins."

Delirious New York
Since its original publication in 1978, Delirious New York has attained mythic status. Back in print in a newly designed edition, this influential cultural, architectural, and social history of New York is even more popular, selling out its first printing on publication. Rem Koolhaas's celebration and analysis of New York depicts the city as a metaphor for the incredible variety of human behavior. At the end of the nineteenth century, population, information, and technology explosions made Manhattan a laboratory for the invention and testing of a metropolitan lifestyle — "the culture of congestion" — and its architecture.
"Manhattan," he writes, "is the 20th century's Rosetta Stone . . . occupied by architectural mutations (Central Park, the Skyscraper), utopian fragments (Rockefeller Center, the U.N. Building), and irrational phenomena (Radio City Music Hall)." Koolhaas interprets and reinterprets the dynamic relationship between architecture and culture in a number of telling episodes of New York's history, including the imposition of the Manhattan grid, the creation of Coney Island, and the development of the skyscraper. Delirious New York is also packed with intriguing and fun facts and illustrated with witty watercolors and quirky archival drawings, photographs, postcards, and maps. The spirit of this visionary investigation of Manhattan equals the energy of the city itself.

Total Competition
Total Competition is the most compelling, comprehensive and revealing insight into what it takes to get to the top in Formula One that has ever been published.
Across four decades, Ross Brawn was one of the most innovative and successful technical directors and then team principals in Formula One. Leading Benetton, Ferrari, Honda, Brawn and Mercedes, he worked with drivers such as Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to make them world champions. In 2017, he was appointed F1's managing director, motor sports, by the sport's new owners Liberty Media. Now, in this fascinating book written with Adam Parr (who was CEO and then chairman of Williams for five years), he looks back over his career and methods to assess how he did it, and where occasionally he got things wrong.
Total Competition is a definitive portrait of modern motorsport. In the book, Brawn and Parr explore the unique pressures of Formula One, their battles with Bernie Ecclestone, and the cut-throat world they inhabited, where coming second is never good enough. This book will appeal not only to the millions of Formula One fans who want to understand how Brawn operates, it will also provide many lessons in how to achieve your own business goals.
Čo mám na jazyku
Najnovšia kniha režiséra Petra Brooka vychádza v slovenskom jazyku krátko po originálnom vydaní.
„Už roky sa zamýšľam nad tým záhadným vzťahom medzi slovom a jeho skutočným významom. Slová sú často nevyhnutné. Slová, ako stoličky a stoly, nám umožňujú pohybovať sa v každodennom svete. Príliš ľahko sa však slovo dostáva do popredia. Podstatný je význam. Už ticho má význam, význam, ktorý sa domáha uznania vo svete premenlivých foriem a zvukov.
Lenivo sme si zvykli zovšeobecňovať. Teraz uvidíme, že presne tak, ako v atóme, keď ho roztvoríme a nájdeme celé univerzum, tak aj keď sa pristavíme pri nejakej vete, zistíme, že každé jej slovo a každá jej slabika zakaždým rezonujú inak.“
Peter Brook
Hĺbavá a veľmi osobná kniha divadelného majstra Petra Brooka, ktorého noviny Independent označili za „nášho najväčšieho žijúceho divadelného režiséra“.
V Čo mám na jazyku sa Brook podmanivo, hravo a múdro zaoberá témami, ako sú jemné, no významné rozdiely medzi francúzštinou a angličtinou a početné roviny, z ktorých možno vnímať Shakespearovu tvorbu.
Brook sa tu vracia aj k svojej zásadnej idei „prázdneho priestoru“ a uvažuje o tom, ako sa zmenilo divadlo – a svet – v priebehu jeho dlhej a význačnej kariéry.
Pretkaná intímnymi a výstižnými historkami z Brookovho života, kniha Čo mám na jazyku je neveľkým, zato osviežujúcim darom od jedného z najväčších umelcov našej doby.
Chvála na Brookovu Kvalitu milosti: úvahy o Shakespearovi:
„Skvostná... pútavá... Táto krátka, skromná a skvelá kniha oživuje lepšie ako mnohé veľkolepé zväzky čitateľovo nadšenie pre tieto hry a divákov úžas nad pozoruhodnými a rozmanitými dojmami ukrytými v prvom fóliu. Patrí do povinného čítania...“
Guardian
„Vo svojich duchaplných úvahách obsahuje esenciu všetkého, čo sa Peter Brook za svoj život naučil.“
Wall Street Journal
Peter Brook sa radí k najznámejším svetovým divadelným režisérom. Medzi najvýznamnejšie inscenácie v jeho kariére plnej pozoruhodných počinov patrí Titus Andronicus (1955) s Laurenceom Olivierom, Kráľ Lear (1962) s Paulom Scofieldom či Marat/Sade (1964) a Sen noci svätojánskej (1970), obe pre Royal Shakespeare Company. Potom ako sa Brook presťahoval do Paríža, kde v roku 1970 založil International Centre for Theatre Research (Medzinárodné centrum divadelného výskumu) a po otvorení divadla Bouffes du Nord v roku 1974 International Centre for Theatre Creation (Medzinárodné centrum divadelnej tvorby), stál pri vzniku niekoľkých prelomových diel, ktoré posunuli hranice divadla, z mnohých napríklad Conference of the Birds (Vtáčí snem, 1976), The Ik (Ikovia, 1975), The Mahabharata (1985) a The Tragedy of Carmen (Tragédia Carmen, 1981). Natočil filmy ako Lord of the Flies (Pán múch, 1963), King Lear (Kráľ Lear, 1970), The Mahabharata (1989), Tell Me Lies (Zavádzaj ma, reštaurovaný v 2013) a Meetings with Remarkable Men (Stretnutia s pozoruhodnými ľuďmi, reštaurovaný v 2017). Jeho nesmierne vplyvné knihy, od The Empty Space (Prázdny priestor, 1968) po The Quality of Mercy (Kvalita milosti, 2013), vyšli v mnohých jazykoch po celom svete.
Divadelný ústav vydal publikáciu Kvalita milosti. Úvahy o Shakespearovi v roku 2014 v preklade Veroniky Kolejákovej.

Unrequited Infatuations
What story begins in a bedroom in suburban New Jersey in the early '60s, unfolds on some of the country's largest stages, and then ranges across the globe, demonstrating over and over again how Rock and Roll has the power to change the world for the better? This story.
The first true heartbeat of UNREQUITED INFATUATIONS is the moment when Stevie Van Zandt trades in his devotion to the Baptist religion for an obsession with Rock and Roll. Groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones created new ideas of community, creative risk, and principled rebellion. They changed him forever. While still a teenager, he met Bruce Springsteen, a like-minded outcast/true believer who became one of his most important friends and bandmates. As Miami Steve, Van Zandt anchored the E Street Band as they conquered the Rock and Roll world.
And then, in the early '80s, Van Zandt stepped away from E Street to embark on his own odyssey. He refashioned himself as Little Steven, a political songwriter and performer, fell in love with Maureen Santoro who greatly expanded his artistic palette, and visited the world's hot spots as an artist/journalist to not just better understand them, but to help change them. Most famously, he masterminded the recording of "Sun City," an anti-apartheid anthem that sped the demise of South Africa's institutionalized racism and helped get Nelson Mandela out of prison.
By the '90s, Van Zandt had lived at least two lives-one as a mainstream rocker, one as a hardcore activist. It was time for a third. David Chase invited Van Zandt to be a part of his new television show, the Sopranos-as Silvio Dante, he was the unconditionally loyal consiglieri who sat at the right hand of Tony Soprano (a relationship that oddly mirrored his real-life relationship with Bruce Springsteen).
Underlying all of Van Zandt's various incarnations was a devotion to preserving the centrality of the arts, especially the endangered species of Rock. In the twenty-first century, Van Zandt founded a groundbreaking radio show (Underground Garage), a fiercely independent record label (Wicked Cool), and developed a curriculum to teach students of all ages through the medium of music history. He also rejoined the E Street Band for what has now been a twenty-year victory lap.
UNREQUITED INFATUATIONS chronicles the twists and turns of Stevie Van Zandt's always surprising life. It is more than just the testimony of a globe-trotting nomad, more than the story of a groundbreaking activist, more than the odyssey of a spiritual seeker, and more than a master class in rock and roll (not to mention a dozen other crafts). It's the best book of its kind because it's the only book of its kind.

The Japanese Myths
The perfect introduction to the world of Japanese myth and legend.
This is a smart and succinct guide to the rich tradition of Japanese mythology, from the earliest recorded legends of Izanagi and Izanami, their divine offspring and the creation of Japan, to medieval tales of vengeful ghosts, through to the modern-day reincarnation of ancient deities as the heroes of mecha anime. While many around the world love Japan's cultural exports, few are familiar with Japan's unique mythology - enriched by Shinto, Buddhism and regional folklore.
Mythology remains a living, evolving part of Japanese society, and the ways in which the people of Japan understand their myths are very different today even from a century ago, let alone over a millennium into the past. Offering much more than any competing overview of Japanese mythology, The Japanese Myths not only retells the ancient stories but also considers their place within the patterns of Japanese religions, culture and history, helping readers to understand the deep links between past and present in Japan, and the ways these myths live and grow.
Joshua Frydman takes the very earliest written myths in the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki as his starting point, and from there traces Japan's mythology through to post-war State Shinto, the rise of the manga industry in the 1960s, J-horror and modern-day myths. Reinventions and retellings of myth are present across all genres of contemporary Japanese culture, from its auteur cinema to renowned video games such as Okami. This book is for anyone interested in Japan, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.
