Writing after Art
A broad and deep anthology of critic and art historian Richard Shiff’s most influential writings, which have shaped our understanding of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art.
In his engaging and often strikingly deep observations of major modern and contemporary visual art, Shiff has written about an impressive range of artists, including Willem de Kooning, Marlene Dumas, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, and Bridget Riley. A leading scholar and powerful voice, Shiff’s insight into some of the most prominent artistic practices spans generation, place, and approach as seen in this considered selection of essays on twenty-six artists.
These writings first appeared in exhibition catalogues for retrospectives at galleries and institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, and Tate Modern. Shiff supplements his unquestionable fluency in art history with insights cultivated from his readings in philosophy, phenomenology, literary theory, and psychoanalysis, among other fields. Shiff’s writing—conceptually rich, meditative, and enjoyable to read—is attuned to the nuances of artistic style and technique, drawing out art’s social implications not merely from broad histories but also directly from artists’ mark making and technical gestures. Actively engaged as a viewer and a writer, Shiff has transformed the act of looking at art into contemplative and captivating writing.
Includes essays on Georg Baselitz, Mark Bradford, Georges Braque, Jim Campbell, Chuck Close, Willem de Kooning, Peter Doig, Marlene Dumas, Dan Flavin, Suzan Frecon, Lucian Freud, Ellen Gallagher, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Brice Marden, Julie Mehretu, Barnett Newman, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley, Richard Serra, Joel Shapiro, Richard Tuttle, Cy Twombly, Jack Whitten, and Zeng Fanzhi.
A World after Liberalism
In this eye-opening book, Matthew Rose introduces us to one of the most controversial intellectual movements of the twentieth century, the "radical right," and discusses its adherents' different attempts to imagine political societies after the death or decline of liberalism. Rose shows how such thinkers are animated by religious aspirations and anxieties that are ultimately in tension with Christian teachings and the secular values those teachings birthed in modernity.

India After Gandhi, 3rd edition
An updated edition of Ramachandra Guha's India After Gandhi with new material that explains the major events, policy shifts and controversies of the past decade, placing them in their proper sociological and historical context and setting out the author's justifiable concerns for the decline of democracy in India.
Born against a background of privation and civil war, divided along lines of caste, class, language and religion, independent India emerged, somehow, as a united and democratic country. Ramachandra Guha’s hugely acclaimed book tells the full story – the pain and the struggle, the humiliations and the glories – of the world’s largest and least likely democracy.
While India is sometimes the most exasperating country in the world, it is also the most interesting. Ramachandra Guha writes compellingly of the myriad protests and conflicts that have peppered the history of free India. Moving between history and biography, the story of modern India is peopled with extraordinary characters. Guha gives fresh insights into the lives and public careers of those long-serving Prime Ministers, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. But the book also writes with feeling and sensitivity about lesser-known (though not necessarily less important) Indians – peasants, tribals, women, workers and musicians.
Massively researched and elegantly written, India After Gandhi is a remarkable account of India’s rebirth, and a work already hailed as a masterpiece of single-volume history. This third edition brings the story fully up to date.

Despite the reckless way Hardin treats her, Tessa is drawn to his vulnerability and determined to unmask the real Hardin beneath all the lies.

After the Fire - A tűz után
A dolgok, amiket láttam, belém égtek, akár a sebhelyek,
amik nem akarnak halványulni.
Korábban egy kerítésen belül élt a családjával.
Most csapdába esett egy szövetségi intézményben.
Korábban nem hagyhatta el a birtokot, nem beszélhetett a Kívülállókkal.
Most túl sok ember tesz fel neki kérdéseket arról, mi történt vele,
és próbálja kitalálni, ki is ő valójában. Korábban úgy hitte, óvják valamitől.
Most az emberek azt mondják neki, végre biztonságban van.
Nem tudja, melyik volt jobb: korábban vagy most. Csak annyit tud, hogy
vannak kérdések, amiket nem válaszolhat meg. És ha minden, amit eddig
mondtak neki, hazugság, honnan tudhatná, hogy most ki mond igazat?
Izgalmas és megindító,
A tűz után tökéletes olvasmány mindenkinek, aki szereti...
...a kultusztémákat,
...a letehetetlen kamaszthrillereket,
...a címlapra kívánkozó csavarokat,
...az olvasmányos történeteket, amik egyszerűen beszippantanak.
YALSA-lista-győztes
Lebilincselő és felejthetetlen történet egy szektában való élet utáni
túlélésről, amelyet az 1993-as texasi, úgynevezett "wacói ostrom"
dávidista túlélői ihlettek.
Mélyedj el benne!
