Bellevue 2019
Blanka takes a summer job at a centre for people with physical disabilities in the French city of Marseille, where her encounter with their severe conditions ends badly. A deeply unsettling, visceral tale of a young woman unravelling, evolving from carer to cared for. A novel about our own inability to escape 'our own private cages', imprisoned by fear, anxiety and mistrust, no less than indifference to others.

IVANA DOBRAKOVOVA (1982) graduated from Bratislava's Comenius University with a degree in English and French (translation and interpretation). She is based in Turin where she works as a freelance translator from French and Italian into Slovak, currently working on Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels.

Blitzscaling
LinkedIn co-founder, legendary investor and author of the NYT Bestseller The Start-up of You reveals the secret to starting and scaling massively valuable companies.
For most of the world, the terms "Silicon Valley" and "startup" are synonymous. Indeed, Silicon Valley is home to a disproportionate number of companies that have grown from garage startups into global giants.
But what is the secret to these startups' extraordinary success? Contrary to the popular narrative, it's not their superhuman founders or savvy venture capitalists. Rather, it's that they have learned how to Blitzscale.
Blitzscaling is a specific set of practices for igniting and managing dizzying growth; an accelerated path to the stage in a startup's life-cycle where the most value is created. It prioritizes speed over efficiency in an environment of uncertainty, and allows a company to go from "startup" to "scaleup" at a furious pace that captures the market.
Drawing on their experiences scaling startups into billion-dollar businesses, Hoffman and Yeh offer a framework for blitzscaling that can be replicated in any region or industry. Readers will learn how to design business models that support lightning-fast growth, navigate necessary shifts in strategy at each level of scale, and weather the management challenges that arise as their company grows.

Bertoia
A celebration of the rich and varied work of Italian-born American artist, designer, and master of metal, Harry Bertoia
From chapel altarpieces and bronze fountains, to wire chairs and silver brooches, Harry Bertoia's creative output was varied in the extreme. This new book explores his entire career: his move from Italy to Detroit at 15; his formative years at Cranbrook; his work with Charles Eames and Knoll; through to his fascinating sound sculptures. In doing so, the book demonstrates how seemingly disparate works are in fact united in being reflections of nature, and places Bertoia's art squarely at the heart of American modernism.

Hirschfeld Century
"I am down to a pencil, a pen, and a bottle of ink. I hope one day to eliminate the pencil." Al Hirschfeld redefined caricature and exemplified Broadway and Hollywood, enchanting generations with his mastery of line. His art appeared in every major publication during nine decades of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as well as on numerous book, record, and program covers; film posters and publicity art; and on fifteen U.S. postage stamps. Now, "The Hirschfeld Century "brings together" "for the first time the artist s extraordinary eighty-two-year career, revealed in more than 360 of his iconic black-and-white and color drawings, illustrations, and photographs his influences, his techniques, his evolution from his earliest works to his last drawings, and with a biographical text by David Leopold, Hirschfeld authority, who, as archivist to the artist, worked side by side with him and has spent more than twenty years documenting the artist s extraordinary output. Here is Hirschfeld at age seventeen, working in the publicity department at Goldwyn Pictures (1920 1921), rising from errand boy to artist; his year at Universal (1921); and, beginning at age eighteen, art director at Selznick Pictures, headed by Louis Selznick (father of David O.) in New York. We see Hirschfeld, at age twenty-one, being influenced by the stylized drawings of Miguel Covarrubias, newly arrived from Mexico (they shared a studio on West Forty-Second Street), whose caricatures appeared in many of the most influential magazines, among them "Vanity Fair." We see, as well, how Hirschfeld s friendship with John Held Jr. (Held s drawings literally created the look of the Jazz Age) was just as central as Covarrubias to the young artist s development, how Held s thin line affected Hirschfeld s early caricatures. Here is the Hirschfeld century," "from his early doodles on the backs of theater programs in 1926 that led to his work for the drama editors of the" New York Herald Tribune" (an association that lasted twenty years) to his receiving a telegram from "The New York Times, " in 1928, asking for a two-column drawing of Sir Harry Lauder, a Scottish vaudeville singing sensation making one of his (many) farewell tours, an assignment that began a collaboration with the "Times" that lasted seventy-five years, to Hirschfeld s theater caricatures, by age twenty-five, a drawing appearing every week in one of four different New York newspapers. Here, through Hirschfeld s pen, are Ethel Merman, Benny Goodman, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Katharine Hepburn, the Marx Brothers, Barbra Streisand, Elia Kazan, Mick Jagger, Ella Fitzgerald, Laurence Olivier, Martha Graham, et al. . . . Among the productions featured: "Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, Rent, Guys and Dolls, The Wizard of Oz "(Hirschfeld drew five posters for the original release), "Gone with the Wind, The Sopranos, "and more. Here as well are his brilliant portraits of writers, politicians, and the like, among them Ernest Hemingway (a pal from 1920s Paris), Tom Wolfe, Charles de Gaulle, Nelson Mandela, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and every president from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Bill Clinton. Sumptuous and ambitious, a book that gives us, through images and text, a Hirschfeld portrait of an artist and his age."

A második világháború mítoszai
Úgy tűnik, már mindent tudunk a második világháborúról. Ennek ellenére a témában számtalan egymással élesen ütköző nézettel találkozunk. Mintha a szövetségesek és a tengelyhatalmak háborús propagandája ma, nyolc évtizeddel a háború kitörése után is elevenen hatna, és rányomná a bélyegét arra, amit a jelenkor történészei állítanak vagy vallanak.
Ebben a kötetben a szerzők - jeles francia történészek - a második világháború huszonhárom mítoszát veszik górcső alá, hogy különválasszák a tévhiteket és a történelmi tényeket. Pearl Harborban valóban súlyos csapást mért Japán az Egyesült Államokra? Hitler csak megelőzte Sztálin támadását? A Waffen-SS tagjai valóban elitkatonák voltak? Tényleg jelentéktelen volt a provence-i partraszállás? A német csodafegyver valóban mindent megváltoztatott volna? Túlértékeljük Montgomery szerepét? Igaz, hogy Jaltában Churchill, Sztálin és Roosevelt felosztotta a világot? Ezekre a kérdésekre és sok hasonlóra ad választ ez a könyv.

'Great art has dreadful manners...
...The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock and proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality.' In inimitable style, our greatest historian and master storyteller Simon Schama makes an irresistible case for the power of art and its necessary place in our lives, examining art through the prism of the troubling life and works of Italian master painter, and murderer, Caravaggio.
