Vienna Portrait of the City
Vienna combines drama and elegance like no other. For centuries the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the stately city on the Danube, has been defined by vast palaces and imperial grandeur-but behind the Baroque opulence, Vienna is also a place of genteel coffee house culture, epicurean tradition, and a heritage of both delicate and daring music, art, and design, from Johann Strauss to Egon Schiele, from Gustav Mahler to Josef Hoffmann.
This volume is a treasure trove of photography from the last 175 years, following the evolution of Vienna from imperial capital to modern metropolis. Like a visual walk through time and cityscape, hundreds of carefully curated pictures trace the developments in Vienna's built environment and the cultural and historical trends they reflect, whether the urban Gesamtkunstwerk of the 19th-century Ringstrasse or the experiments of "Red Vienna" in the 1920s, when the city had a social democrat government for the first time.
Through these remarkable photographs, we discover not only the great landmarks and lesser-known corners of Vienna, but also the ubiquity and the tumult of its history. We see the cultural blossoming of the fin de siecle, when radical innovators such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Adolf Loos, and Sigmund Freud turned Vienna into a "laboratory of modernity"; the clashes of 1934; the ascent of Nazi dictatorship; and the horrors writ by the Holocaust in what was once one of the most populous and multi-ethnic cities on earth. More recently, fascinating postwar photographs explore the Vienna of the Third Man, at once a city in ruins and a hub for spies. The book closes with the most recent pictures, celebrating the emergence of today's Vienna-one of the most attractive cities in Europe, in which rich history once again coexists with international flair and vibrant contemporary culture.
V lese visí anděl
Brilantní norská detektivka, jež v sobě skrývá hrůzné tajemství. Holger Munch miluje vážnou hudbu, matematické hádanky a pokuřování cigaret. Kromě toho je policejní detektiv. Už se chystá do důchodu, v němž si tohle všechno užije, jenže Norskem právě otřásají podivné vraždy šestiletých holčiček, které někdo obléká do bílých šatiček a nechává v lese s cedulkou „Cestuju sama“ na krku. Munch se tak musí postavit do čela speciální jednotky a hlavně přesvědčit Miu Krügerovou, slavnou vyšetřovatelku, aby se vrátila do služby. Podaří se mu to? Dokáže Mia Měsíční paprsek, jak jí přezdívají norská média, vyřešit případ plný symbolů a slepých uliček? Vrah si s detektivy evidentně pohrává a celé Norsko se může jen strachovat, že se v lese objeví další malý anděl.„Visí tam anděl.“„Jak to myslíš?“„Visí tam v lese anděl.“Tobias brášku objal a cítil, jak se chvěje.„Teď si vymýšlíš, Torbene.“„Ne, visí tam.“„Můžeš mi ukázat kde?“Bratříček k němu zvedl oči.„Nemá křídla, ale určitě je to anděl, vím to.“„Ukaž mi to,“ řekl Tobias vážně a postrčil brášku před sebe mezi smrky.Bestseller v Holandsku (vyprodáno hned v předprodeji) a v Německu, kde se přes tři týdny držel v žebříčku Der Spiegelu. „Člověk je skoro v pokušení nazvat tuto knihu učebnicí moderní detektivky. Takhle se to má dělat! (...) Jsou tu všechny nutné ingredience a jsou namíchány s naprostou bravurou.“ - Folkebladet (DK)„Zcela brilantní norská detektivka, která má všechno, co si jen lze od dobrého příběhu přát. Uvěřitelné a poutavé postavy. Nesmírně napínavou zápletku, jež v sobě skrývá hrůzné tajemství. A nečekaně působivé vystižení různých míst, kde se děj odehrává, jež vytváří velmi příjemný kontrast mezi městskými scénami a těmi zasazenými do venkovské krajiny.“ - Aftonbladet (Švédko)„Má-li tohle být autorův debut, je to nevídaná literární senzace.“- Bergens TidendePod pseudonymem Samuel Bjork se skrývá úspěšný norský spisovatel, dramatik, zpěvák a textař Frode Sander Oien (* 1969). Svou první divadelní hru napsal v jedenadvaceti letech, od té doby vedle dalších her vydal dva vysoce hodnocené romány: Pepsi Love (2001) a Speed k snídani (2009), natočil šest hudebních alb, věnuje se také výtvarnému umění a překládá Shakespeara. Jeho první detektivka V lese visí anděl (2013) se hned po vydání stala hitem v celé Skandinávii. A následně tento vrstevnatý a propracovaný detektivní román, v němž uvádí na scénu dvojici detektivů Holgera Muncha a Miu Krügerovou, vyvolal obrovskou vlnu mezinárodního zájmu. Překládá se do pětadvaceti světových jazyků, včetně hebrejštiny či japonštiny. A všude tam, kde zatím vyšel, ho čtenáři vítají s nadšením. V Holandsku byl rozebrán už v předprodeji a psalo se o něm jako o thrilleru roku, přes tři týdny se držel v žebříčku nejprodávanějších knih podle německého Der Spiegelu, velký úspěch slavil i ve španělském vydání. A tisíce fanoušků Mii a Holgera se už teď můžou těšit na pokračování, norsky letos vyjde druhý díl série s názvem Sova.

Potomci slavných vzpomínají 4
Snad každý si aspoň v čase vánočním vybaví něco o Jakubu Janu Rybovi, bude vědět, kdo to byl František Palacký či František Křižík. Mnozí si vzpomenou na televizní cyklus Potomci slavných, podle něhož sepsali Václav Filip a Libuše Štědrá již čtvrtou knihu příběhů vynikajících Čechů. Nahlédnete v nich mj. do osudů sochaře Josefa Mařatky, nezapomenutelného Eduarda Hakena a jeho ženy Marie Glázrové, svérázného komika Ference Futuristy i jeho bratra Emana Fialy a čtenářsky oblíbeného Františka Kožíka. Poměry, ze kterých tito nevšední lidé vzešli, bývaly z dnešního pohledu až neuvěřitelně skromné v porovnání s tím, čeho v životě profesně dosáhli a jak výraznou stopu v dějinách naší země zanechali.
Autorům se přitom mnohdy až detektivním způsobem podařilo objevit řadu neznámých souvislostí, vystopovat potomky, o nichž se nevědělo, a získat unikátní dokumenty. Nikde jinde např. nenajdete tak bohatě rozvětvený a až do současnosti dovedený rodokmen J. J. Ryby, leckoho podnítí k zamyšlení Palackého vize Čechů v Evropě...
Autentické vzpomínky potomků a vyprávění o tom, jakými životními peripetiemi prošli a zda navázali na odkaz svých významných předků, doplňují kromě jedinečných rodokmenů vzácné dobové fotografie a celkově bohatý obrazový doprovod.

The Disappearance of Stephanie Mailer
A twisting new thriller from the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
In the summer of 1994, the quiet seaside town of Orphea reels from the discovery of four murders.
Two young police officers, Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott crack the case and identify the killer.
Then, twenty years later and just as he is on the point of taking early retirement, Rosenberg is approached by Stephanie Mailer, a journalist who believes he made a mistake back in 1994 and that the real murderer is still out there, perhaps ready to strike again. But before she can give any more details, Stephanie Mailer mysteriously disappears, and Rosenberg and Scott are forced to confront the possibility that her suspicions might have been proved true.
What happened to Stephanie Mailer?
What did she know?
And what really happened in Orphea all those years ago?
Translated from the French by Howard Curtis

WOMXN: Sticks and Stones
"There are so many words, insults, labels and boxes for women to be packaged and packed off in. Often, but not always, they're words coined by men."
Why that is, is a bigger conversation that is starting to be had by women everywhere. We're slowly, but oh-so-surely, making it clear that there is no man in womxn. We're writing him out and writing us back in, and we deserve a suffix all of our own that is free from patriarchal roots. So from here on in, we are WOMXN.
Sticks and Stones is a powerful reclamation of the slurs and insults thrown at women for centuries. It's a righting of wrongs - a rewriting of sexist, belittling and shaming language. It's a tool for breaking free from the stereotypes and impossible standards used to confine women, transforming them into messages of resilience and resolve. And, most importantly, it's a rallying call for change, healing and empowerment.
It takes the words, slurs, insults and labels that are used to diminish women every day and breaks them down and tears them apart. It transmutes and rewrites these words - sometimes with all of the pain they trigger, sometimes in the form of positive affirmations, mantras and poems - all told in acrostics.
With their underlying meditative rhythms, these acrostics are also a remedy for healing wounds and empowering women to have the confidence to be their true selves. You can dip in and out, or read it cover to cover. You can come back to, and work through, any words that resonate with you. Lexy also offers clearing meditations at the back of the book to help you tackle the words that hurt you most, helping to remove them from your past, present and future.
This title is illustrated by the hugely talented illustrator and print maker Margaux Carpentier. Margaux creates pictures using a symbolic language, so each piece has its own unique message for every individual. Her work is inspired by all the incredible colours of the world. She adapts her illustrations in 3D and large-scale murals, the most recent of which is currently on display in Brown Hart Gardens in Mayfair, London.

Unneutral Murder
The liner on which Lee Mappin was travelling on what was to be one of his most dangerous and exciting missions slid unescorted from New York, her sides brilliantly flood-lit to display the neutral flag of Portugal. Among the passengers who crowded every cabin were several in whom Lee took more than a mild interest; the good-looking, smiling young Ronald Franklin, for instance, who said he was an American agent for Swiss watches; John Stanley, going out to the hard-pressed U.S. Legation in Lisbon, and his young wife Vera, daughter of a wealthy tobacco nabob; Kate McDonald, the smartly dressed but slightly pseudo-Scottish woman. Whatever the divers purposes which prompted their voyage to Europe their immediate activities were going to be very much the concern of Lee Mappin.

The House of Gucci
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE from director Ridley Scott, starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver
The sensational true story of murder, madness, glamour, and greed that shook the Gucci dynasty, now fully updated with a new afterword
On March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci, heir to the fabulous fashion dynasty, was slain by an unknown gunman as he approached his Milan office. In 1998, his ex-wife Patrizia Reggiani Martinelli--nicknamed "The Black Widow" by the press--was sentenced to 29 years in prison, for arranging his murder.
Did Patrizia murder her ex-husband because his spending was wildly out of control? Did she do it because her glamorous ex was preparing to marry his mistress, Paola Franchi? Or is there a possibility she didn't do it at all?
The Gucci story is one of glitz, glamour, intrigue, the rise, near fall and subsequent resurgence of a fashion dynasty. Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and widely acclaimed, The House of Gucci will captivate readers with its page-turning account of high fashion, high finance, and heart-rending personal tragedy.

Bauhausmadels
Pioneers of Modernity
A tribute to the Bauhaus’s women artists
Celebrating the centennial of a groundbreaking School of Art and Design, this volume marks the founding of the Bauhaus with a visual exploration of its most underrated members. While the institution provided women with new opportunities in education, along the way, they were faced with unreasonable family expectations, the ambiguous attitude of the faculty and administration, outdated social conventions, and, ultimately, the political repression of the Nazi regime.
Unprecedented in current literature, Bauhausmädels presents 87 artists and artisans through texts and photographic portraits, many published for the very first time. Recent archival discoveries revive the biographies of better-known talents. In the 1920s, the title “Bauhaus girl” expressed a silent admiration for the young women who courageously eluded traditional gender roles to build a different, creative future. These include Marianne Brandt, the first woman to be admitted to the Bauhaus metalworking program whose designs are used by Alessi to this day; Gertrud Arndt who, dissuaded by the faculty from studying architecture, instead shone through her photography and rug design; and Lucia Moholy, who photographed the Bauhaus buildings in iconic shots, but spent the rest of her life trying to retrieve the negatives which were withheld from her. Moreover, the volume reminds us of other women artists whose names, nearly forgotten, also stand for early pioneers of gender equality, refusing to follow the beaten tracks society and their families insisted on.
With almost 400 portrait photographs taken between 1919 and 1933, Bauhausmädels creates a visual impression of the women artists who attended the most progressive art school of the 20th century and, departing from there, often changed the world of art, architecture, design, and even politics. Insightful biographical data sheds light on each artist’s individual struggle, persistence in the face of adversity, and incredible accomplishments. In this grand family album, we discover a group of unique trailblazers whose legacy paved the way for women artists after them. Text in English French, and German
