Anish Kapoor: Painting
A massive appraisal of a hitherto little-known aspect of Kapoor’s prodigious output
This 400-page volume is the first publication to explore in depth the painting of British artist Anish Kapoor (born 1934). It offers a unique insight into a language that has increasingly been a focus over the last 10 years, but which has also been an integral part of his studio practice since his career began in the late 1970s. In works that sit on the cusp between abstraction and figuration, Kapoor reveals a desire to go beyond the surface that has been so famously explored in his international beloved sculptural works. Image, surface, space and time appear in sometimes delicate but often violent symmetry.
With essays from such as acclaimed thinkers as Julia Kristeva and Homi K. Bhabha, with whom the artist has collaborated in articulating his distinctive visual language, this extensive survey traces the trajectory that has led Kapoor to his boldest body of work to date.

Gundel szakácskönyv
A Gundel dinasztia története egyet jelent a magyar gasztronómia és a magyar vendéglátás történetével. Az alapító kortársai olyan nagy, a vendéglátást ma is meghatározó személyiségek voltak, mint Sacher, Ritz, Escoffier. Gundel Károly megszelídítette a magyar konyhát és ötvözte azt a szélesedő világból érkező behatásokkal.
A Gundel-ház túlélte a történelem viharait, két világháborút, gazdasági válságokat és az államosítás éveit. Alapításának 100. évfordulója után is büszkén folytatja Gundel Károly legszebb vendéglátási hagyományait, aki ezt mondta: "Nem is úgy érzem magam, mint egy vendéglős, aki pénzért ételt és italt árul, hanem mint vendéglátó magyar házigazda, akinek a házát megtisztelték vendégei látogatásukkal."
Ebben a szakácskönyvben a hagyományos Gundel fogások mellett az új kor innovációi is helyet kaptak: 70 receptet adunk közre, amelyek méltán reprezentálják mindazt, amiről az étterem a mai napig szól. Jelesül, hogy a Gundel nem luxus. A Gundel minőség.
"Számomra a Gundel a hagyományok megtartásának és továbbvitelének elkötelezett híve - amellett, hogy az innováció legalább ilyen fontos szerepet játszik az étterem életében. Ez az, amit én is igyekszem átadni a gyermekeimnek. Mert ez a két dolog viszi talán leginkább előre a világot. Azt kívánom mindannyiunknak, hogy a Gundel még hosszú-hosszú ideig meghatározó pont lehessen Budapest és az ország életében. Legyen rólunk továbbra is az egyik legfontosabb kulturális és gasztronómiai hírvivő a világban. Mert ez egy kicsit mindannyiunk közös sikerét is megtestesíti." ( Dr. Habsburg György)

Galambnagymama
A nagymama galambbá változik, az elhagyott trombita megszólal, a magányos kislány halacska lesz, az állatkereskedésben pótapa is kapható; és a nem létező kutya harap. Nógrádi Gábor meséi mindannyiunk által megélt érzéseket formálnak varázslatos történetekké. "A Galambnagymama első meséi közel húsz éve jelentek meg, és néhány szülőtől, nagymamától már akkor is kaptam kedves, dicsérő leveleket. Azóta számos tanárnő, édesanya írta meg, vagy mondta el személyesen; hogy könyveim közül a Galambnagymama a kedvence. Az író nagyon ritkán tudja kiszámítani műve valódi hatását az olvasóra. Így jártam én is. Gyerekeknek írtam ezeket a meséket, és az érzékenyebb kamaszok mellett a gyereklelkű felnőttek értik, érzik igazán." Nógrádi Gábor

What this book can do for you: You support certified climate protection projects, receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press reviews in the book preview) as well as advice proven in practice, which leads step by step to success - also thanks to add-on.
Because courageous managers who are ready for change are rarely met: Those who belong to them usually carry their organization instead of letting it carry them. They encourage and empower people instead of dominating them. They work in teams instead of setting themselves apart from others. They inspire without exaggerating their claim to power. Those who lead courageously and radically seek long-term and sustainable success and not the quick kick. In short, they are perfectly suited for the modern VUCA world. This book shows how courageous radical leadership can succeed.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.
Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process.
The publisher is also involved in numerous, well-documented charitable projects, e.g. on climate protection, and supports the quality of neural machine learning and international understanding through its translation from German into English.
Editor Simone Janson is chairwoman, publisher, and best-selling author. She was also one of the 20 most important German bloggers and columnist of renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

Summertide
‘You may have noticed,’ said Maut, ‘that the Tree is on the move.’ On the edge of the town of Kottow stands the tallest (and oddest) Tree in the land. It’s a staid and solid arbour — until the Tree picks up its mighty old roots and wanders off, taking its resident band of misfits away with it. Whither goes the Tree? Not even the wizard can say. 'There is something mighty fey about all this, or my name ain't Diggory Stokey.' Far away from Kottow, a forest lies lost in the mists of a dream. There’s much to mend in this hoary old wood, for the Summer’s been swept from the glittering skies, and no one’s keeping an eye on the Winter... 'Enchanted forests,' Mudleaf spat. 'Bah. Like it's been raining magic this long age through.' The good folk of Kottow aren’t used to so wayward a magic — not even Maut Fey, the one with the sunlight behind her eyes. But magic will have its way with them, whether they will or no. Summertide’s waiting. Can the folk of the Tree bring it back, or will the wild magic wash them away? “If you mixed elements of the Faraway Tree, Narnia, Frozen and A Midsummer Night’s Dream together, you might get something like Summertide. Maybe.” — The Author ‘Almond tarts for her MAJESTY!’ someone else roared. ‘Apple ice-wine for her majesty!’ Praise for the Wonder Tales: “...large helpings of wit and whimsy... readers who enjoy the old-fashioned language of classic fairy tales will be pleased with this one.” - Publishers Weekly on Faerie Fruit “Her faultless prose by turns ascends with the lark, leads you down secret paths like the willow-the-wisp, bewitches you into bewilderment, and sparkles with eye-bedazzling wonder...” - NYT bestselling author Mercedes Lackey on Gloaming

Pokoli remény
Gabriel Emerson professzor lemond a Torontói Egyetemen betöltött állásáról, hogy új életet kezdhessen szeretett Julianne-jével. Biztos benne, hogy együtt bármivel képesek szembenézni. És alig várja, hogy apa lehessen.
Julianne doktori képzése azonban akadályozza Gabriel terveit, hiszen a Harvard elvárásai a nő minden idejét felemésztik. Amikor Julianne-t az a megtiszteltetés éri, hogy Oxfordban tarthat előadást, Gabriel összetűzésbe keveredik vele az előadáshoz végzett kutatásai miatt, mert tőle eltérő álláspontot képvisel. Oxfordban többen is felbukkannak a múltból, köztük egy régi rivális, akinek legfőbb szándéka, hogy Julianne rossz hírét keltse, és napvilágra hozza Gabriel legsötétebb titkait.
Gabriel úgy dönt, hogy szembeszáll megmaradt démonjaival, és megpróbál többet megtudni a biológiai szüleiről. Ezzel az események olyan láncolatát indítja el, amely meglepő hatással lehet rá, Julianne-re és a férfi családalapítási tervére.
Nem tudjuk megváltoztatni a múltunkat, egyedül a jövőnkön tudunk változtatni.

The Man Who Knew Too Much
This contains the first 8 of the 12 stories in the published book The Man Who Knew Too Much and Other Stories. In these 8 detective thrillers, the main protagonist is Horne Fisher. (The omitted four are individual stories with separate heroes/detectives.)Due to close relationships with the leading political figures in the land, Fisher knows too much about the private politics behind the public politics of the day. This knowledge is a burden to him because he is able to uncover the injustices and corruptions of the murders in each story, but in most cases the real killer gets away with the killing because to bring him openly to justice would create a greater chaos: starting a war, reinciting Irish rebellions, or removing public faith in the government.A film of the same title was made in 1934 and remade in 1956, both directed by Alfred Hitchcock, but the films had nothing at all in common (except the title) with these short stories. Hitchcock decided to use the title simply because he had the rights for some of the stories.(Reference: Wikipedia)

The Aeneid of Virgil (I-VI)
The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem written by Virgil in the 1st century BC (between 29 and 19 BC) that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who traveled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. It is written in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half treats the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed.The hero Aeneas was already known to Greco-Roman legend and myth, having been a character in the Iliad; Virgil took the disconnected tales of Aeneas' wanderings, his vague association with the foundation of Rome and a personage of no fixed characteristics other than a scrupulous piety, and fashioned this into a compelling founding myth or nationalist epic that at once tied Rome to the legends of Troy, glorified traditional Roman virtues and legitimized the Julio-Claudian dynasty

Marina
Američan Mariani přijíždí na studijní stáž do Gorbačovova Sovětského svazu, kde se seznámí s půvabnou dívkou Marinou. V její společnosti poznává i moskevskou zlatou mládež, která se za časů perestrojky prohání po městě v západních autech a nic jí není svaté. Dramatické vyvrcholení jednoho večírku, na němž hlavní roli sehraje Garry Ardanjanc, syn významného komunistického funkcionáře, ovlivní Marianiho budoucnost víc, než se zpočátku mohlo zdát. Kam se vyvine Američanův příběh, který hrdina prožívá ve společnosti své lásky Mariny a tajemné bytosti Čching v Rusku, Římě a na nejmenovaném ostrově v asijských tropech? Minulost nikdy nekončí, a tedy vlastně neexistuje; cokoliv, co se událo, nás může nečekaně zasáhnout. Z kulis politického a mediálního divadla posledního dvacetiletí vystupuje příběh lásky, dekadence a frustrované pomsty s odkazy na Edmonda Dantese a Botticelliho obraz La Primavera, v jehož originálně zpracovaném mytickém tématu nalezneme jeden z klíčů k románovému příběhu.
