Yves Saint Laurent's Studio: Mirrors and Secrets
The name of Yves Saint Laurent, one of the great fashion designers of the twentieth century, evokes the now-iconic looks he helped popularize as part of the modern woman's wardrobe: the Le Smoking tuxedo jacket, the pea coat, the Mondrian dress, the jumpsuit. But seven years after Saint Laurent's death, the man himself remains an enigma and a source of fascination (two Yves Saint Laurent biopics were released in 2014). In "Yves Saint Laurent's Studio: Mirror and Secrets," the first book to be published by the Fondation Pierre Bergé with Yves Saint Laurent, fashion historian Jérômine Savignon invites the reader into the designer's studio, revealing Saint Laurent's approach to fashion and design. Illustrated with more than 40 previously unpublished photographs, this volume offers a fresh, behind-the-scenes glimpse at the work of this iconic fashion designer. A precocious talent, Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) started work at the venerable fashion house of Christian Dior at the age of 18. He started his own design house in 1961 with his partner Pierre Bergé. Saint Laurent was one of the first designers to hire nonwhite models, and the first to lend his name to a ready-to-wear line while maintaining his haute couture business. He became the first designer to be honored with a Costume Institute retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art during his lifetime, with a 1983 show organized by Diana Vreeland, who called him the "Pied Piper of fashion," because "whatever he does, women of all ages, from all over the world, follow."

Mighty and Almighty: Reflections on Faith, God and World Affairs
Does America, as George W. Bush has proclaimed, have a special mission, derived from God, to bring liberty and democracy to the world? How much influence does the Christian right have over U.S. foreign policy? And how should America and the West deal with violent Islamist extremists? Traditionally, politicians have sought to downplay the impact of religious beliefs in international affairs. In this illuminating first-hand account, one of the most renowned figures in American politics argues that understanding the place and power of religion - and knowing how best to respond to it - is essential if America is to lead successfully around the world. Here, Madeleine Albright examines religion and foreign affairs through the lens of American history as well as her own personal experiences in public office, with a preface and opening chapters specially written for the UK edition. She offers a sharp critique of U.S. policy, condemnation for those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends, and praise for political, cultural, and spiritual leaders who seek to harness the values of faith to bring people together. Albright has written a thought-provoking work that calls for bold leadership to rein in the many religious rivalries around the globe and lay the groundwork for a new moral consensus. 'Learned, eloquent and thoughtful... Much of what she says seems obvious except that it obviously hasn't been followed.' - Raymond Seitz, Sunday Telegraph.""

Spoza čarovného prútika
Ohlásili prestávku a Gambon vyčaroval zo svojej brady cigaretu. Nás dvoch bolo často vídať pred skladom, v ktorom stála Astronomická veža, ako si užívame „závan čerstvého vzduchu“, ako sme tomu hovorili. Okolo nás pobehovali maliari, štukatéri, tesári a elektrikári a medzi nimi sme ja a Dumbledore poťahovali z cigariet.
Dospievanie Toma Feltona od nakrúcania filmu Piadimužíci po úlohu čarodejníka rozhodne nemožno označiť za obyčajné. Vo svetle reflektorov sa ocitol už ako dvanásťročný, keď získal kultovú rolu Draca Malfoya vo filmoch o Harrym Potterovi.
Tom prvý raz úprimne a s humorom jemu vlastným opisuje, aké to bolo vyrastať na plátne a byť súčasťou čarodejníckeho sveta. Hovorí o zlomovom bode vo svojom živote, o filmovom zákulisí a priateľoch, ktorých počas desiatich rokov získal, ako aj o kladoch a záporoch slávy a života po skončení nakrúcania potteroviek.
Pripravte sa na stretnutie so skutočným čarodejníkom.
