The Stars' Share / La part des etoiles
Sir Paul Smith, with a wry grin in front of a bookshelf. Javier Bardem, utterly relaxed, in sneakers in a sunny field. Rasmus Kofoed, chef at Geranium in Copenhagen, one of the best restaurants in the world, atop an ivy-covered wall. What all these portraits have in common - along with a sense of closeness and privacy - is a glass. For this is how Gerard-Philippe Mabillard photographs his friends and acquaintances, all celebrities from the world of film, art, fashion, design, and culture.
Mabillard himself worked as a creative professional before taking the position of director of the Vin du Valais non-profit association. For him, the glass, filled with wine or water, is the link between the people he portrays: a symbol of friendship and community. Through his photography project, Mabillard is supporting the NGO Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia.
Text in English and French.
The Challenge
In this thrilling novel from the world’s favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel, a small community is tested when their children go missing while exploring a dangerous local peak, forcing them to band together during the crisis.
Fishtail, Montana, is home to Anne and Pitt Pollock, local royalty, high school sweethearts and owners of the successful Pollock ranch. The sprawling foothills of the Beartooth Mountains surround the town, overlooking the Pollocks’ property and the nearby ranch belonging to Bill and Pattie Brown. The two couples have known each other since childhood. Their sons Peter Pollock and Matt Brown are also the best of friends. When they and two other local kids meet Juliet Marshall, new to town after her parents’ bitter divorce, the five of them are soon inseparable, spending their summer days swimming, horseback-riding, hiking and fishing.
But one August afternoon, their latest adventure takes a dangerous turn – and quickly escalates into a battle for survival – when they find themselves trapped on Granite Peak. Fear reverberates through the town as their parents grow ever more desperate to hear word that their children have been found. They must place their own trials aside amid a massive search-and-rescue operation. As they come to lean on one another for support, a media frenzy ensues, heightening tensions and testing some already fragile relationships.
In the aftermath of this one fateful event, devastating secrets are revealed, new love appears on the horizon, and families are forced to reconsider what they once held dear.

If These Apples Should Fall
A penetrating analysis of the work of one of the most influential painters in the history of modern art by one of the world's most respected art historians.
For more than a century the art of Paul Cezanne was held to hold the key to modernity. His painting was a touchstone for Samuel Beckett as much as Henri Matisse. Rilke revered him deeply, as did Picasso. If we lost touch with his sense of life, they thought, we lost an essential element in our self-understanding.
If These Apples Should Fall: Cezanne and the Present looks back on Cezanne from a moment - our own - when such judgments may seem to need justifying. What was it, the book asks, that held Cezanne's viewers spellbound?
At the heart of Cezanne lies a sense of disquiet: a homelessness haunting the vividness, an anxiety underlying the appeal of colour. T. J. Clark addresses this strangeness head-on, examining the art of Pissarro, Matisse and others in relation to it. Above all, he speaks to the uncanniness and beauty of Cezanne's achievement.

Progresivní rock
Kniha se zabývá formováním progresivního rocku na přelomu šedesátých a sedmdesátých let 20. století. Pozornost je věnována undergroundovým kořenům daného žánru na angloamerické scéně, vlivu tvorby The Beatles na jeho uměleckou podobu i globálnímu trendu ke komplikaci výrazových prostředků rocku, který v sedmdesátých letech vyústil v rozsáhlé multimediální projekty skupin Genesis, Pink Floyd či Yes. Významnou část knihy tvoří pojednání progresivního rocku v kontextu komunistického Československa, jež se rozpíná od uměleckých souvislostí až po ty sociokulturní či kulturně politické. Ve vybraných statích jsou čtenáři představeny klíčové nahrávky, jejich technické zázemí či vztah k té či oné hudební tradici. Jiné kapitoly naopak ukazují progresivní rock ve světle uměleckých i politických ideologií a doktrín.

The Storks (EN)
"One of you will be hanged, the second imprisoned, the third burned and the fourth turned upside down. " This is how the children mocked the family of storks that lived on the roof. This frightened the chicks and, to reassure them, their mother spoke of the long journey they would soon take. And, who knows, perhaps one day they would have their revenge on the little tyrants who mocked them in their nest.

Meister Paul und sein Altar
Erfahren Sie mehr über den höchsten Flügelaltar der Welt!
In der Basilika des Heiligen Jakobus in Leutschau befindet sich ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk – der höchste spätgotische Flügelaltar der Welt (18,62 m). Sein Autor ist der Bildhauer Meister Paul von Leutschau (*um 1460 - † zwischen 1537 - 1542), einer der wenigen mittelalterlichen Künstler, die in unserem Gebiet tätig waren und namentlich bekannt sind. Er wurde mit der Arbeit am Altar irgendwann nach 1500 beauftragt, wahrscheinlich auf Einladung von Johannes Thurzo. Der Altar erforderte eine mehrjährige Vorbereitung und die Arbeit nicht nur von Meister Paul selbst, sondern auch seiner gesamten Werkstatt. Im Jahr 1508 war der Altar fertig – zu jener Zeit war er der größte Altar in Mitteleuropa und das Altarretabel gehört bis heute zu den größten Kunstwerken seiner Art in den Ländern Europas hinter den Alpen.
Der Führer Meister Paul und sein Altar berichtet über die Umstände der Entstehung des berühmten Leutschauer Altars und Meister Paul selbst, er bringt Ihnen die Atmosphäre der Zeit näher, in der dieses bedeutende sakrale Werk geschaffen wurde und enthält eine detaillierte Interpretation des Altars. Ein ebenso wertvoller Bestandteil des Führers ist das außergewöhnliche Bildmaterial - einzigartige Fotografien des weltberühmten tschechischen Fotografen Jan William Drnek.

Primer of Happiness 2 - Self knowledge, connections, self change
Why a person attracts a "bad" partner? Why what you desire is not becoming true? How to speed up the intention? What is the reason of excessive apologizing and self blame? How to solve the pressure of gossiping and envy?
What is the real origin of illness? The more you help others, the more they hurt you?
The second part of Hirax´s Primer of Happiness focuses on self observation as the way of getting to know you and clearing, perception of the connections with things that keep repeating , the beginning of inner dialogue, getting rid of bad habits and programs that harm us. The author tries to answer why a person does not get what he desires, how to speed up the intention (by sacrifice and humility), he accentuates the importance of gratitude, self forgiveness, the end of excessive apologizing and self blame. It comes to solving the consequences of gossiping, envy, creation of illnesses, hidden guilt with the consequence of a caravan of pains.
The book describes the model and the creation of "victims", silent energetic vampire, reasons of the low self esteem and the birth of fears in a person, model of aggressive energetic vampire, the creation of monkey´s love. In the chapters focused on relationships, Baričák paid attention to the importance of communication, the elimination of conflicts and arguments, and understanding why a person attracts a "bad" partner.
The book wants to positively motivate towards the stepping to the way of self change and melting of the spiritual pains.
O autorovi:
We only see what we are ready to see, and I'm nothing else but a mere medium allowing the flow of that which is within each one of us. Were it not for nature, love, writing and other forms of creativity, my soul would be a mess. In fact, I'm not a writer, nor a musician, traveller, photographer, philosopher, businessman, poet, blogger, or a lyricist... I'm a mere human soul, and therefore miraculous. Just like you. I make my mistakes, I have my lows, I laugh, I hurry and slow down later, only to caress and appreciate life again, to wash in my tears that wonderful gift, which often seems to be the hardest stone of suffering. I have my dreams, I pray for things, I accept and feel grateful. Here and now. There's no other way more beautiful...
Friends with Benefits: Through Tony's Eyes (EN)
He had the dream man of half the female population of this godforsaken planet pinching his left nipple. Everything else became blurry in his mind as he gave in to the sensation and moaned loudly. The fleeting pain turned him on even more. He wasn’t one to chicken out when it came to pain as pleasure.
