Ver Sacrum
With work by Klimt, Schiele and others, Ver Sacrum set the standard for magazine design
This book gathers the covers of Ver Sacrum, the official magazine of the Vienna Secession, which ran from 1898 to 1903. Published for the 120th anniversary of this historic magazine, it reproduces all 120 regular issues--plus some special, limited-edition covers--in 1:1 scale, alongside a selection of block prints, lithographs and copper engravings.
Ver Sacrum (meaning "Sacred Spring" in Latin) was conceived by Gustav Klimt, Max Kurzweil and Ludwig Hevesi. During its six years of activity, 471 original drawings were made specifically for the magazine, along with 55 lithographs and copper engravings and 216 block prints, by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner, Max Fabiani, Joseph Maria Olbrich and Josef Hoffmann. Writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Maurice Maeterlinck, Knut Hamsun, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Richard Dehmel, Ricarda Huch, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and Arno Holz were published in its pages.
Ver Sacrum reveals the tremendous originality of the Jugendstil language, a cornerstone of modernity that elaborated new forms of design, illustration and print/editorial composition.

Lacná kniha Mezi zalíbením a zavržením (-90%)
Dílo římského básníka Publia Ovidia Nasona na sebe poutalo již od dob svého sepsání značnou míru pozornosti, a to nejen díky svým literárním kvalitám, ale též zejména díky obsahové stránce, která problematickými milostnými pasážemi vyvolávala vlnu morálně laděné kritiky. Básnický opus Metamorfózy, vyprávějící bájnou genezi lidstva od počátků světa po Caesarovu apoteózu, se stal základní studnicí informací o řecko-římské mytologii. Dílo se dočkalo nehynoucí slávy a stalo se jednou z hlavních inspirací pro výtvarné umění, kde se v popularitě zařadilo hned za text biblický, a bylo proto právem nazýváno biblí malířů . Rovněž v českém a moravském barokním umění doznaly Metamorfózy velkého vlivu a jejich příběhy zdobí v malířském či sochařském ztvárnění stropy, stěny a zahrady mnoha zámků a paláců. Autorka v knize sleduje právě tento odraz Ovidiových Metamorfóz v českém a moravském umění 17. a 18. století a zabývá se zejména otázkami jejich čtenářské obliby, podobou tehdejších vydání Metamorfóz a diskuzí, kterou vyvolával jejich lascivní obsah, což vedlo v některých případech k cenzurním regulacím. Hlavní pozornost je však zaostřena na detailní výzkum dvou výjimečných moravských rezidencí, arcibiskupského zámku v Kroměříži a zámku ve Slavkově u Brna, jejichž nástropní malby a sochařské výzdoby odkazují také na ovidiovské mýty. Kniha nově zhodnocuje a vysvětluje tyto výzdoby a zapojuje je do širšího evropského kontextu, neboť jejich význam zdaleka překračuje hranice moravského regionu. Radka Miltová v současnosti působí na Semináři dějin umění Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity v Brně, kde také absolvovala magisterské i doktorské studium dějin umění. Zabývá se dějinami umění raného novověku, zejména profánní ikonografií raněnovověkého umění.

Na sklade
*Winner of the 2017 Strega Prize, the Strega Giovani Prize and the Prix Medicis etranger*The international sensation about two young Italian boys from different backgrounds who meet in the mountains every summer, and the men they grow to become. Pietro, a lonely city boy, spends his childhood summers in a secluded valley in the Alps. Bruno, the cowherd son of a local stonemason, knows the mountains intimately.
Together they spend many summers exploring the mountains' meadows and peaks, discovering the similarities and differences in their lives. As time passes, the two boys come to find the true meaning of friendship and camaraderie even as their paths diverge, Bruno's in the mountains and Pietro's in cities across the globe. A modern Italian masterpiece, The Eight Mountains is a lyrical coming-of-age story spanning three decades; a novel about the power of male friendships and a meditation on loyalty, being in nature, and finding one's place in the world.

Drezdai szerelmek
Eltűnt világba, a Német Demokratikus Köztársaság mindennapjaiba repíti vissza az olvasót ez a kötet. A pergő és olvasmányos történetekben boldogító és gyötrelmes, reménytelen és szenvedélyes szerelmek bonyolódnak - mindez egy magyar diák szemszögéből nézve. A színen a felszabadult, magabiztos, ragaszkodó és sokszor könnyelmű német nők, akik gyakran érthetetlen módon cselekszenek. Körülöttük forog minden. És előtűnik Drezda, a csodálatos város, ami nehezen fogad be, de később már nehezen ereszt el, amitől megválni nehéz, s ha mégis megteszi az ember, ezerszer megbánja.
A kötet 13 elbeszélése idillikus és mozgalmas világot idéz fel: külföldiként helyt állni és folyton a szerelmet keresni egy korlátok közé szorított világban, ami az egyetemi diákélet a valaha létezett NDK-ban.
This Is How It Ends
This is when it begins Autumn, 2008. This is where it begins The coast of Dublin. This is why it begins Bruno, an American, has come to Ireland to search for his roots. Addie, an out-of-work architect, is recovering from heartbreak while taking care of her infirm father. When their worlds collide, they experience a connection unlike any they've previously felt, but soon their newfound love will be tested in ways they never imagined possible. This is how it ends ...

Modernist Design Complete
The powerful aesthetic and philosophical framework that modernism ushered in during the early part of the 20th century revolutionized the built world, transformed our living spaces and lifestyles, and fundamentally changed the way we think about design. As they experimented with new forms, materials and techniques, modernist designers rejected historical precedents to prioritize function over history and tradition.
This ambitious survey brings together all facets and all scales of design in a comprehensive volume that presents the vast breadth of both towering and lesserknown figures, revealing unexpected connections and new insights. Through sections on furniture, lighting, glass, ceramics, textiles, industrial and product design, graphic design and posters, architecture and interiors, and through profiles of nearly a hundred influential creators, including iconic figures, such as Bruno Mathsson, Charlotte Perriand and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, as well as architects Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Eliel Saarinen and Walter Gropius, the book's scope is unprecedented.
Complete with specially commissioned essays by established academics and subject specialists, and with nearly 650 illustrations, the majority in colour, this book is set to become the definitive reference for a generation, equally indispensible for the designer's studio, the library shelves or the collector's desk.

Vom Küssen der Kröten und andere Zwischenfälle
Witz, Satire und die Lust an absurden Kontrasten: In seinen Glossen sieht Hellmuth Karasek der Zeit beim Vergehen zu und versucht, wenigstens die Komik festzuhalten.
Eigentlich küsst man Kröten nicht - man schluckt sie als unangenehme Wahrheiten hinunter. Nur Frösche küsst man - im Märchen, damit sie sich in Prinzen verwandeln. Doch die Glosse verhält sich zur Realität so, als müsste ihr Autor dauernd Kröten schlucken. In Karaseks Sprachzoo existieren seltsame Wesen: lupenreine Gazprom-Demokraten, Problembären wie Bruno und Stoiber, Politiker als Kellner und Köche.

Anton Corbijn 1-2-3-4
Representing the ultimate publication on the music photography of Anton Corbijn, one of the most important photographers and directors working today, this collection of images, many never before published, focuses on Corbijn's evolving fascination with the music industry, from the 1970s to the present day. Anton Corbijn's interest in music has been the engine of an
illustrious decades-long career that has most recently involved
the making of feature length films such as The American,
A Most Wanted Man, and Life, due to be released in 2015.
This gloriously illustrated, oversized book pays homage to
Corbijn's obsession with rock and roll--an interest that has led
to lifelong friendships with Bono, Michael Stipe, Dave Gahan,
and other iconic musicians. Looking back over four decades,
it features hundreds of creative, offbeat images that Corbijn
was able to capture largely as a result of his close relationships
with his subjects. Nearly every revered musician and band is
represented in Corbijn's archives: Nick Cave to Nirvana, U2 to
R.E.M., the Rolling Stones to Siouxie and the Banshees. Many
of the portraits are accompanied by their subjects' own take
on Corbijn's distinct style and approach. Also included here
are previously unpublished photos of the late Joe Cocker
and the band Depeche Mode, who consider him an honorary
member. A fitting tribute to an innovative and deeply
passionate photographer, this book will rock fans of music and
photography.
