The Beautiful and Damned
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. From the author of The Great Gatsby, a tale of marriage and disappointment in the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald's rich and detailed novel of the decadent Jazz Era follows the beautiful and vibrant Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria as they navigate the heady lifestyle of the young and wealthy in 1920s New York. Patch is the presumptive heir to his grandfather's fortune, and keeps his equally spoiled wife in comfort while biding time until his grandfather's death. Patch is unable to hold down any kind of job and spends his days in luxury, indulging in whatever pleasures are available. But as the money begins to fail, so does their marriage. Patch's gradual descent into alcoholism, depression and alienation from his marriage ultimately lead to his ruin. Fitzgerald's novel is a remorseless exploration of the horrors of an age of excess and lost innocence. F. Scott Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Despite his present popularity, Fitzgerald was often in financial trouble, due to the fact that only one of his novels sold well enough to support the extravagant lifestyle that he and his wife Zelda adopted, and later Zelda's medical bills. His novel The Great Gatsby has sold millions of copies and remains a continual best-seller.

No Higher Honour
From one of the world's most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's compelling story of eight years serving at the highest levels of government. A native of Birmingham, Alabama who overcame the racism of the Civil Rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign. Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief adviser on national-security issues - a job whose duties included harmonizing the relationship between the Secretaries of State and Defense. It was a role that deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes. With the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the Administration's efforts to keep America safe. Here, Rice describes the events of that harrowing day - and the tumultuous days after. Surprisingly candid in her appraisals of various Administration colleagues and the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also offers here keen insight into how history actually proceeds. In No Higher Honor, she delivers a master class in statecraft - but always in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility, and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.

Kínáról
"Henry Kissinger (1923) az Egyesült Államok nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadója, majd külügyminisztere volt Richard Nixon és Gerald Ford elnöksége alatt. A huszadik századi amerikai külpolitika egyik legbefolyásosabb formálója és a hidegháború második szakaszában a kínaiamerikai kapcsolatok fő stratégája volt. ""Közel negyven évvel ezelőtt Richard Nixon elnök abban a megtiszteltetésben részesített, hogy elküldött Pekingbe kapcsolatot létesíteni egy Ázsia történelmében központi szerepet játszó állammal, amellyel Amerikának már több mint húsz éve nem volt magas szintű érintkezése. [] Az azóta eltelt időben ötvennél is többször jártam Kínában. Mint olyan sok látogató az évszázadok alatt, én is a kínai nép kitartása, kifinomultsága, családszeretete és kultúrája iránti csodálattal eltöltve jöttem el onnan. Ugyanakkor egész életemben a béke megteremtésének gondolata foglalkoztatott elsősorban amerikai szempontból. Abban a szerencsében volt részem, hogy vezető tisztviselőként, üzenetek közvetítőjeként és tudósként egyidejűleg ismerhettem meg Kínát mindkét megközelítésből. Ez a könyv kísérletet tesz arra, hogy részben a kínai vezetőkkel való beszélgetéseimre alapozva megmagyarázza azt a szemléletet, ahogy a kínaiak gondolkoznak a béke és a háború, a nemzetközi rend kérdéseiről, valamint ennek viszonyát a pragmatikusabb, esetről esetre haladó amerikai megközelítéshez. A különböző történelmek és kultúrák időnként egymástól eltérő konklúziókra jutnak. Nem mindig értek egyet a kínai látásmóddal, s némely olvasó is bizonyára így lesz ezzel. Szükségünk van azonban a megértésére, mivel Kína kiemelkedő szerepet fog játszani a huszonegyedik században kialakuló világban. Részlet az Előszóból"

Egon Schiele
One of the most important artists of the early twentieth century, Egon Schiele is vastly influential not just in his native Austria, where he was a major figure of Austrian expressionism, but around the world. Yet Schiele spent almost his entire life in Vienna and Lower Austria, and the cultural currents of the region can be seen in the ways he thought about and made art. With "Egon Schiele: The Beginning, " Christian Bauer focused on Schiele s early life and work, starting with his childhood in Tulln and following his career through his resignation from the Vienna Art Academy in 1909. Now, with "Egon Schiele: Almost a Lifetime, "Bauer sheds new light on how Schiele developed the essential elements of his creative practice in Tulln and Vienna, but also Krems, Klosterneuburg, Neulengbach, and Muhling, where the artist was put to work in a POW camp and painted a number of imprisoned Russian officers. Drawing on recent research and a cache of unpublished photographs, the book explores a number of previously neglected influences on Schiele s work, including his interest in x-ray technology and the art nouveau style of the artist and aristocrat Franz von Stuck. Schiele s work continues to inspire artists, critics, and collectors today. Packed with beautiful, large-scale reproductions, "Egon Schiele: Almost a Lifetime "shows the artist in the context of his homeland, including in the later stages of his career."

O'Keeffe
Mighty nature: The pioneering forms of Georgia O KeeffeGeorgia O Keeffe (1887 1986) was a major figure in modern American art for some seven decades. Importantly, her fame was not associated with shifting art styles and trends, but rather with her own unique vision, based on finding essential and abstract forms in nature.O Keeffe s primary subjects were landscapes, flowers, and bones, each explored in successive series over several years. Certain works went on for decades, producing 12 or more variations of an original image. Among these, O Keeffe s magnified pictures of calla lilies and irises are her most famous. Enlarging the tiniest petals to fill an entire canvas, O Keeffe created a proto-abstract vocabulary of shapes and lines, earning her the moniker mother of American modernism. In 1946, O Keeffe became the first female artist to be given a solo show at the MoMA in New York.This introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 traces O Keeffe s long and luminous career through key paintings, contemporary photographs, and portraits taken by Alfred Stieglitz, to whom O Keeffe was married. We follow the artist through her pioneering innovations, major breakthroughs, and her travels and inspirations in Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, and, above all, New Mexico, where she was particularly inspired by the majestic landscapes, vivid colors and exotic vegetation.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"

The Social Animal
#1 "NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER With unequaled insight and brio, "New York Times" columnist David Brooks has long explored and explained the way we live. Now Brooks turns to the building blocks of human flourishing in a multilayered, profoundly illuminating work grounded in everyday life. This is the story of how success happens, told through the lives of one composite American couple, Harold and Erica. Drawing on a wealth of current research from numerous disciplines, Brooks takes Harold and Erica from infancy to old age, illustrating a fundamental new understanding of human nature along the way: The unconscious mind, it turns out, is not a dark, vestigial place, but a creative one, where most of the brain s work gets done. This is the realm where character is formed and where our most important life decisions are made the natural habitat of "The Social Animal." Brooks reveals the deeply social aspect of our minds and exposes the bias in modern culture that overemphasizes rationalism, individualism, and IQ. He demolishes conventional definitions of success and looks toward a culture based on trust and humility.

#1 "NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER With unequaled insight and brio, "New York Times" columnist David Brooks has long explored and explained the way we live. Now Brooks turns to the building blocks of human flourishing in a multilayered, profoundly illuminating work grounded in everyday life. This is the story of how success happens, told through the lives of one composite American couple, Harold and Erica. Drawing on a wealth of current research from numerous disciplines, Brooks takes Harold and Erica from infancy to old age, illustrating a fundamental new understanding of human nature along the way: The unconscious mind, it turns out, is not a dark, vestigial place, but a creative one, where most of the brain s work gets done. This is the realm where character is formed and where our most important life decisions are made the natural habitat of "The Social Animal."
