Lacná kniha Country Colour (-90%)
Interiors expert Judith Miller explores the key elements of country style through the use of colour and natural hues and explains how to design a home interior with a greater understanding of what ambience and impressions colour can bring. Colour is explored throughout the book by means of navigating its use in various palettes, including sections on cool, warm and vibrant colours that explain the reasons for different perceptions of colour from one climate region to another. Whether cool and pale or bright and warm, colour plays a pivotal role in bringing a cosy and comfortable mood to the rooms of an interior decorated in country style, celebrating the charms of rural living while creating a welcome retreat. Each chapter includes carefully selected swatches for paint and fabric with codes that allow you to match available paints from manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore, Fired Earth, Ralph Lauren and Farrow & Ball. About the Author Judith Miller is a best-selling author of over 80 books on antiques and interiors. A regular contributor to newspapers and magazines, including BBC Homes & Antiques, she is also co-presenter of The House Detectives (BBC2), consultant and co-presenter of The Antiques Trail (Meridian, HTV and Discovery) and presenter of It's Your Bid (Discovery). She lives in London and New York.

Yevonde
'Be original or die would be a good motto for photographers to adopt…let them put life and colour into their work.' - Yevonde.
Yevonde (1893-1975) was a businesswoman and tireless creator, as an innovator committed to colour photography when it was not considered a serious medium, her work is significant in the history of British portrait photography. Yevonde championed photography during a time where there were few women photographers working professionally, and this book tells the story of her life, works, and 60-year career.
Yevonde: Life and Colour brings the photographer's works together again for the first time in 20 years and features previously unpublished works. This book showcases her experimentation with a range of techniques and genres including colour photography, portraiture, still-lifes, solarisation, and the Vivex colour process, and repositions her as a modern artist of the twentieth century.
This highly illustrated publication provides in-depth context to Yevonde's images, considering their aesthetic and mythic references. Yevonde's portraits embody glorified tradition countered with a desire for the new. Her most renowned body of work is a series of women dressed as goddesses posed in surreal tableaux from the 1930s.

Beszélgetések
Költészet, alkotás, hit, színház, zene a legfontosabb témái a Pilinszky-életműkiadás újabb kötetének, amely a költővel készített interjúk, beszélgetések gyűjteménye. A Beszélgetések huszonkét év után jelenik meg újra Hafner Zoltán gondozásában, bővített jegyzetekkel.
"Hogy az írásnak, az én írásaimnak van-e missziójuk, azt nem tudom megítélni. Nem is lehet talán. De hát ki tudja, hány ember ül éjjel a szobájában és hallgat Bachot szerte a világon? Hogy ez miket indított el, sosem fogjuk megtudni. Holott ez volna talán az emberiség valódi története..." (részlet a könyvből)

Toulouse-Lautrec
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), scion of an ancient aristocratic family, was a crippled dwarf. His family's wealth gave him financial security, and he chose to become an artist. In Paris he was drawn to the world of the red-light district around Montmartre. In the cafés, cabarets, dance halls and brothels he observed "the theatre of life", viewing this world not from the moralising standpoint of the 19th-century bourgeoisie, but with the eyes of one for whom all inhibitions had long since vanished.
Lautrec recorded what he saw without the arrogance of a social superior, but also without "spurious pity – like a reporter with a "photographic paintbrush". He transferred his observations to paper and canvas with sensitive understanding and a sharp eye, creating the real atmosphere and live character studies of a world where middle-class morals do not count, in which elegance and baseness mix, as do the ingenuous and the sinful. Lautrec had the gift of painting life as it is. No one else has captured the entertainment world of the belle époque in so unadulterated, so masterful and so timelessly true a manner as did Lautrec in his paintings, lithographs and posters.
This monograph sets out to examine the close relations between Lautrec's work and life. It thereby offers the reader a lively impression of Lautrec's art, and at the same time provides an understanding of his private life and of the magnificent Paris of the belle époque.

La Petite Mort
If orgasm is the little death, is masturbation the little suicide? The title means "the little death," a euphemism for orgasm, but the women who exuberantly masturbate for Toronto photographer Will Santillo in this book are as lively a bunch as you
x2019;ll ever meet. Santillo conceived the project eight years ago to include a thorough cross section of women: young to old, slim to thick, perfect beauties to those not considered beautiful until seen through his lens. The one constant would be th
at each would decide and direct how she masturbated to climax while he captured the moment. From previous projects with amateur subjects Santillo had come to believe that masturbation is a far more personal act than most sex play because it is conduc
ted almost exclusively in private. He set out to reveal the diversity and creativity with which women approach self-stimulation, and to portray the beauty of ordinary women in the throes of orgasm-a beauty far richer than the male oriented depictions
seen in pornography. Santillo says he seeks to uncover the hidden face of his subjects, and indeed, it’s the faces that best show the intensity of response in these artfully explicit photos. Dian Hanson interviewed 37 of the women, and their
candid insights on overcoming inhibition, giving in to exhibitionism, and achieving orgasm in front of a stranger with a camera provide a framework for the lush, sepia-toned photos. For all who are curious about just what the woman next door-or one's
own wife-gets up to in her private moments,La Petite Mortis a breath of life.

The Master
It's a bold writer indeed who dares to put himself inside the mind of novelist Henry James, but that is what Tóibín, highly talented Irish author of The Heather Blazing and The Blackwater Lightship, has ventured here, with a remarkable degree of succ
ess. The book is a fictionalized study, based on many biographical materials and family accounts, of the novelist's interior life from the moment in London in 1895 when James's hope to succeed in the theater rather than on the printed page was eclips
ed by the towering success of his younger contemporary Oscar Wilde. Thereafter the book ranges seamlessly back and forth over James's life, from his memories of his prominent Brahmin family in the States-including the suicide of his father and the tr
agic early death of his troubled sister Alice-to his settling in England, in a cherished house of his own choosing in Rye. Along the way it offers hints, no more, of James's troubled sexual identity, including his fascination with a young English man
servant, his (apparently platonic) night in bed with Oliver Wendell Holmes and his curious obsession with a dashing Scandinavian sculptor of little talent but huge charisma. Another recurrent motif is James's absorption in the lives of spirited, high
ly intelligent but unhappy young women who die prematurely, which helped to inform some of his strongest fiction. The subtlety and empathy with which Tóibín inhabits James's psyche and captures the fleeting emotional nuances of his world are beyond p
raise, and even the echoes of the master's style ring true. Far more than a stunt, this is a riveting, if inevitably somewhat evasive, portrait of the creative life.

Óvodások
Az "Óvodások" kötet Ranschburg Jenő három, az óvodáskorú gyermekekről szóló tanulmányát tartalmazza. Többször nyilatkozta, hogy hozzá igen közel álló életkor az óvodások világa. Az első hat évnek meghatározó jelentősége van: varázslatos világ az óvodásoké, mert abban a csoda éppúgy lehetséges, mint bármilyen más esemény.
"A világ megismerése óvodáskorban" a 3-6 éves gyermekek gondolkodásának, világképének fejlődését ábrázolja, bemutatva, hogyan bontakozik ki az óvodáskorú gyermek személyisége. Szó van az "én" megnyilvánulási formáiról attól a pillanattól kezdve, hogy a gyermek a tükörben felismeri és megnevezi önmagát.
"Az én... és a másik" a gyermekek emberi kapcsolataival foglalkozik. Mindenekelőtt az anya és a gyermek viszonyát mutatja be, de sorra kerül a nevelő és az apa is. A kortárs kapcsolatok mintázatai közül a játékot, a jószívűséget és az agresszivitást emeli ki, és bemutatja az agresszív gyerek portréját: milyen feltételek esetén válik az óvodáskorú gyermek agresszívvá, és melyek azok a konkrét nevelési módszerek, melyek letéríthetik erről a fejlődési pályáról.

Modern Architecture (World of Art)
This highly acclaimed survey of modern architecture and its origins has become a classic since it first appeared in 1980, and has helped to shape architectural practice and discourse worldwide. For this extensively revised and updated fifth edition, Kenneth Frampton has added a new section that explores in detail the modernist tradition in architecture across the globe in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. He examines the varied ways in which architects are not only responding to the geographical, climatic, material and cultural contexts of their buildings, but also pursuing distinct lines of approach that emphasize topography, morphology, sustainability, materiality habitat and civic form. It remains an essential book for all students of architecture and architectural history.

Életcseppek
Negyvenéves a Béres Csepp.
E könyv az évforduló tiszteletére meghirdetett Én és a Béres Csepp pályázatra beérkezett levelekből összeállított válogatás: minden levél egy-egy példa, támasz, erőforrás az olvasó számár, s egyben tisztelgés a kiváló feltaláló nagyszerű készítménye előtt, mely emberek százezreinek jelentett reményt, sok esetben gyógyulást.
Jó olvasni ezeket a leveleket. Az egészségeseknek azért, mert betekintést engednek egy olyan világba, amelyet aligha ismerhet az, aki nem nézett még farkasszemet az elmúlással, mely megrendítő, kemény, mégis szépet, megértést, szeretetet, emberit üzen. A betegeknek pedig azért, mert a sorsközösség átélése bíztatást, segítséget, erőt, kapaszkodót jelent a gyógyuláshoz vezető úton. A levelek rávilágítanak, milyen nagy kincs az egészség, és figyelmeztetnek arra, hogy megőrzéséért magunk tehetünk a legtöbbet.
-Édesapám "aranynak" hívta a Béres Cseppet. Az életet jelentette számára.
-Valami olyan csodálatos dolog, amiért nem lehetünk elég hálásak dr. Béres Józsefnek és a munka folytatóinak.
-A Jóisten után a Béres Cseppnek köszönhetem az egészségemet.
-Táppénzen soha nem vagyok, munkaintenzitásom, közérzetem mindig jó. Tavaly én lettem az iskola legsportosabb tanára, pedig én vagyok a legidősebb.
-Mára már a Béres Csepp a mindennapi életünk része, és így a betegség elkerüli a házunk táját.
-Adagolni kezdtem gyermekemnek, aki három hónap alatt úgy megerősödött, hogy többet nem volt probléma az oviba járás, talán ő az egyetlen gyerkőc, aki nem hiányzik soha!
-Jó érzés, ha nem vagyok fáradékony, ha van energiám és kedvem mindenhez.
-Mi a legjobb tanácsom? Próbálják ki a Béres Cseppet, inkább előbb, mint utóbb!
Ezeket a sorokat a Béres Csepp fogyasztói írták. Lehet ezeknél a szavaknál nagyobb elismerés, szebb születésnapi köszöntés?
Mindannyiunk egészségére!

Beteg a doktor
A Beteg a doktort Burgess tévesen diagnosztizált agytumore ihlette: a Malajziában, majd Bruneiben tanárként dolgozó Burgess egyik óráján összeesett, és arra kényszerült, hogy feleségével visszatérjen Angliába. A regény "doktorát", a kórházban agyműté
tjére váró nyelvprofesszort, dr. Spindriftet az író önmagáról mintázta. Felesége, Sheila - aki sok tekintetben hasonlít Burgess akkori feleségére - egyre ritkábban látogatja, maga helyett inkább újdonsült barátait küldi a kórházba. Ráadásul a profess
zor a kellemetlen vizsgálatokat is nehezen tűri, ezért úgy dönt, inkább megszökik. Ekkor veszi kezdetét az alvilági kaland, amelyben Burgess - karneválszerűen felvonultatott szereplőinek köszönhetően - végtelen humorral mutatja be a beszélt nyelv sok
színűségét.
John Burgess Wilson, aki többnyire Anthony Burgess néven publikálta műveit, 1917. február 25-én született Manchesterben. Édesanyját és nővérét korán elveszítette, mostohaanyja és a varietékben és a némafilmek mozijában zongorázó apaj ne
velte. Burgess már középiskolásként elkezdett verseket és novellákat írni. Bár zenei munkásságát kevesen ismerik, legalább annyira tartotta magát zeneszerzőnek, mint írónak. Elsősorban 33 regényének köszönheti hírnevét, de 175 zeneművet komponált, verseket, színpadi műveket és számos tanulmányt is írt. 1993. november 22-én hunyt el Londonban.
Lacná kniha Félnóta (-70%)
Ez az a könyv, amelyben a nyolcvanas évek elején igyekeztem megírni, hogy voltaképp mi történt velünk, elérve vagy túllépve a krisztusi kort, mi lett a nemzedékemmel, a barátaimmal, a szerelmeimmel. Még nem voltam harminc, amikor nekifogtam. Harminchat éves lettem én, mire megjelent, 1986-ban.
Azóta mindig makacsul megakadályoztam, hogy a Félnóta újra kiadódjék (magvasnak vélt okaimról elő- s utószót írtam, akit érdekel, lássa ott). 1986 - vagy inkább '85, akkor kaptam a második korrektúrát - óta nem olvastam. Most igen. Nagyon fölkavart. Ez persze mindegy. El sem tudom képzelni, hogy a harminc alattiak mit szólnak hozzá. Sok benne a számukra ismeretlen kifejezés, a géemkától a Konsumex dolláros boltig. Ám e fogalmak nem lényegesek.
A regénynek a hatvanas évek magyar történelme és politikai viszonyai csupán a hátterét adták, semmilyen módon nem a témáját. A Félnóta a barátságról, a szerelemről, az árulásról, a gerincről, a szolidaritásról és hűségről szól. Gondolom én. Másként: az ifjúságról. Az enyémről biztosan. A miénkről.
