She dressed as a boy and, although she had been christened Georgina, he liked calling her George.

Metallica ohlásila vydání živého alba S&M2 se San Francisco Symphony a nyní vypouští nové verze All Within My Hands a Nothing Else Matters. Koncerty S&M2 6. a 8. září 2019 byly historickým okamžikem z několika pohledů - nejenže byly slavnostním otevřením sanfranciské arény Chase Center, ale znovu spojily kapelu a symfonický orchestr poprvé od jejich vystoupení v roce 1999, které bylo zachyceno na Grammy vítězné desce, jež představila do té doby vůbec první symfonické ztvárnění písní Metallicy. Koncerty vyprodané a nadšeně přijaté 40 tisíci fanoušky, kteří za kapelou přicestovali ze 70 zemí světa.

It used to be exciting to sneak out into the workplace-bathroom to have sex with her lawyer-colleague without the rest of the office noticing. But the excitement soon faded for her – as did her lust for him. But when she books a spontaneous weekend trip to Barcelona, with accommodations at the private apartment of a lesbian couple, she suddenly finds her desires returning with full force.

A century of classic vampire cinema--in posters, stills and artwork--from Murnau to True Blood and beyond This visual feast celebrates classic vampire cinema--mainstream and niche--through the many colorful ways in which the key films have been marketed and consumed. F.W. Murnau's haunting film Nosferatu had its premiere in Berlin in March 1922. Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, tried hard to sue the production company for breach of copyright but had to settle in the end for a court order to destroy all prints and negatives. The film kept resurrecting, though, and is now considered the first, and one of the greatest, of all vampire movies--the founder of a dynasty of prints of darkness. The bloodline has spread from Nosferatu to Hollywood's Dracula and progeny (1931-48); from Hammer's Dracula/Horror of Dracula and sequels (1958-74) to versions of Sheridan Le Fanu's story "Carmilla" and other lesbian vampires (1970-2020); from the bestselling novels 'Salem's Lot and Interview with the Vampire to vampires who have shed their capes, hereditary titles and period trappings to become assorted smalltown oddballs, addicts, delinquents, psychopaths, rednecks, fashionistas, gay icons, comedians and even comic-book heroes (1975-2022). This book is dripping with stills, posters, artworks, press books--many of which have not seen the light of day for a very long time--and is authored by cultural historian and connoisseur of the Gothic Christopher Frayling, who has been called "the Van Helsing de nos jours." Christopher Frayling (born 1946) is a recognized authority on Gothic fiction and horror movies. His study Vampyres (1978, 1990, 2016) and his classic four-part television series Nightmare: The Birth of Horror (1996) have helped to move Gothic horror from margin to mainstream. He is the author of Frankenstein and Once upon a Time in the West.

Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn't sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes. In this volume in her series for TASCHEN, leading graphic designer Yang Liu tackles one of the hottest, and one of the oldest, topics of all: he and she. Drawing on the experiences, challenges, and many perspectives on men and women she has encountered in her own life, Yang Liu distills the vast, swirling question of gender into bold, binary pictograms. Dealing with a whole host of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom, Yang Liu's designs are as simple and accessible in their presentation as they are infinite in the associations, evocations, and responses they elicit. Combining age-old stereotypes with topical discrepancies, this fresh approach to the roles and relationships of men and women is, above all, an effort to synthesize a notoriously thorny issue into a fun and refreshing graphic form, and thus to lighten and enlighten our mutual understanding and tolerance.

Transformative Visions An illustrated history of the Twelve Step program Drawing on art, literature, and scientific research, scholar and therapist Kikan Massara delves into the Twelve Steps – the widely used and respected program of recovery. Developed in the early 20th century to address alcoholism, the Twelve Step program was later found to be an effective tool in aiding recovery for all types of addictions and compulsive behaviors. Now for the very first time, Twelve Step recovery is linked to a visual narrative.

Featuring in-depth studies by leading experts in several converging fields, the book examines the history behind the Twelve Steps, from the program's origins in Depression-era America to building a foundation for recovery that incorporates concepts identified by psychologist C. G. Jung. The volume also offers relevant insight into the meaning of addiction in today's society. With striking imagery, literary quotations, and psychological references, the Twelve Step program is reintroduced to a wider audience as timely, accessible, and constructive. At a time of radical change and opportunity, this visual edition honors the transformative power of these universal principles and thoughtfully explores ways of aligning with them. The editor

Během putování po horách vyprávějí příběhy o krajině, životě hor a lidí, kteří je postupně obývali, a o jejich smyslu pro člověka geolog Václav Cílek a herečka Květa Fialová. Říp, Bezděz, Blaník, Sněžka, Milešovka, Radhošť, Kleť, Radobýl, Kozákov, Trosky, Hostýn, Pálava a Petřín – mnohé z těchto hor sloužily od nepaměti jako strážní hory a jako místo pro komunikaci se vzdálenými kmeny. Pravděpodobně ještě před příchodem Keltů se vrcholky hor staly spojnicí s božstvy a místem uctívání vyšších sil. Keltští druidové na jejich temenech konali své obřady, ve středověku se tu slavily Svatojánské noci, v baroku se na vrcholech hor stavěly poutní kaple a v devatenáctém století se hory staly cílem prvních turistů. Přestože na většinu z nich vedou asfaltované silnice, pořád jsou poměrně málo dotčeny moderní civilizací. Jaká tajemství tyto hory ukrývají a co znamenají pro český národ?
