Ašot Haas, Inside
Tesne pred prvým výročím otvorenia Galérie Nedbalka bola do výstavného plánu zaradená výstava mladého výtvarníka Ašota Haasa pod názvom Inside. Jedným z dôvodov je fakt, že sa s nadšením podieľal na vytvorení centrálneho architektonického priestoru novej zrekonštruovanej budovy. Horizontálny transparentný objekt, sa stal centrálnym optickým prvkom prezentácie súčasného výtvarného umenia v galérii. Ďalším dôvodom je rozsiahle portfólio materializovaných prác a možnosť vystaviť najnovšie projekty pod názvom Diamonds & Reliefs. Je to pekný jesenný pozdrav Galérie Nedbalka a Ašota Haasa slovenskému výtvarnému umeniu. (Palo Choma). Pri tejto príležitosti Galéria Nedbalka vydala knihu s najnovšími dielami Ašota Haasa. Zaujímavosťou knihy je v knižnej väzbe vložené dielo autora, spolu s jeho podpisom na titulnom liste.

American Royals – Felséges titkok
Most Beatrix Washington uralkodik Amerikában, az ország történelmének első királynője, akinek meg kell küzdenie mindazzal, amit elveszített a koronához vezető úton. Családja azonban minél előbb le akarja tudni az érdekházasságát egy olyan férfival, akit alig ismer. Senki sem tudhatja, hogy Beatrix szíve igazából a testőréé… Samantha hercegnő még sosem adott nagyobb pofonokat a közízlésnek, és továbbra is nővérének vőlegénye után eped. Sajnos semmi sem utal arra, hogy Beatrix esküvőjét le akarnák fújni, Sam viszont váratlanul talál mást, akin megakad a szeme. Nina mindenáron kerülni igyekszik a palotát, és közben olyasvalakibe szeret bele, akire a legkevésbé sem számított: a hozzá hasonlóan vérző szívű Ethanbe, akivel hamarosan ellenállhatatlannak találják egymást.

And Then What? Inside Stories of 21st-Century Diplomacy
So much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in today’ s world – and what does it take to do it well? From 2009 to 2014, Cathy Ashton was the EU’ s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, effectively Europe's foreign policy supremo responsible for coordinating the EU's response to international crises. Arriving in Brussels as a relative novice to international diplomacy, she faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent times in living memory. Decades-old certainties were swept away in days. Hope rose and fell, often in a matter of hours. From the frozen conflict of Ukraine to the Serbia-Kosovo deal, there were challenges, failures and moments of success. She encountered dictators and war criminals, and witnessed the aftermath of natural disasters, military action, and political instability. Working with US politicians and counterparts including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Burns, she negotiated historic settlements, such as the Iran nuclear deal. An ‘ honest broker’ , she navigated the needs of opposing politicians to chart a path towards collaboration and stability. Now Ashton takes us behind the scenes to show us what worked and what didn’ t, and how it felt to be in ‘ the room where it happened’ . From Serbia to Somalia, Libya to Haiti, she offers essential insight into how modern diplomacy works, examining the tools needed to find our way through the many challenges we face today.
Views from the Inside
From political novels to surrealist poetry and censored rock and roll, Czech underground culture of the latter twentieth
century displayed an astonishing, and unheralded, variety. This fascinating exploration of that underground movement—the historical, sociological,and psychological background that gave rise to it; the literature, music, and arts that comprised it; and its morerecent incorporation into the mainstream—draws on the voices of scholars and critics who themselves played an integral role in generating it. Featuring the writings of Czech poet Ivan Martin Jirous, philosopher-poet Egon Bondy, and writer Jáchym Topol, and Canadian expat and translator Paul Wilson—many of which have never before been available in English—as well as an expanded bibliography reflecting advances in scholarship. This second edition is both a work of literature and an eye-opening volume of criticism.

Moonshot: Inside Pfizers Nine-Month Race To Make The Impossible Possible
The exclusive, first-hand, behind-the-scenes story of how Pfizer raced to create the first Covid-19 vaccine, told by Pfizer's CEO Dr. Albert Bourla
A riveting, fast-paced, inside look at one of the most incredible private sector achievements in history, Moonshot recounts the intensive nine months in 2020 when the scientists at Pfizer, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Albert Bourla, made "the impossible possible"-creating, testing, and manufacturing a safe and effective Covid-19 vaccine that previously would have taken years to develop.
Dr. Bourla chronicles how the brilliant, dedicated minds at Pfizer, under the enormous strains of the global pandemic, overcame a series of crises that were compounded by social and political unrest, and reveals the doubts, decisions, obstacles, and failures they encountered. As Dr. Bourla makes clear, Pfizer's success wasn't due to luck; it was because of preparation driven by four simple values-Courage, Excellence, Equity, and Joy.
Moonshot is a story of leadership under the most unprecedented circumstances-how Dr. Bourla, a Greek immigrant, a child of Holocaust survivors, and a veterinarian, became the head of one of the world's largest corporations and initiated a dramatic transformation of the organization just before a global health crisis would serve to test the organization, its scientists and its leader, like never before. Moonshot describes best practices that can be used to address the multiple, unprecedented challenges our world faces, reveals Pfizer's implementation of scientific breakthroughs at a record-breaking pace, and offers leadership lessons that can help anyone successfully manage their own seemingly unsolvable problems. As Dr. Bourla explains, "I am sharing the story of our moonshot-the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the core values that allowed us to make it happen-in hopes that it might inspire and inform your own moonshot, whatever that may be."

Robert Hromec Inside a Time Capsule
Keď Robert Hromec v roku 2011 vymenil klasické plátno za hliník, hneď po prvých realizovaných dielach bolo jasné, že nejde len o experiment, ale zásadnú zmenu celkového spôsobu jeho výtvarného uvažovania. Prezentovaná kolekcia INSIDE A TIME CAPSULE (Vnútri časovej kapsuly) predstavuje najnovšie diela z rokov 2016 — 2017. Robert Hromec bol na slovenskej výtvarnej scéne vždy solitérom a od spomínaného roku 2011 sa jeho pozícia osamelého hľadača osobitého prejavu ešte zvýraznila.
Výstava Roberta Hromca prezentuje odvážne expresívne práce vytvorené náročnou kombinovanou technikou. Jej súčasťou je šesť veľkorozmerných obdĺžnikových malieb na obzvlášť veľkom hliníkovom plechu s rozmermi 1 × 2 metre a osem malieb na hliníkovom plechu polovičnej veľkosti. K štyrom zo šiestich veľkorozmerných prác sú pripevnené sivé štvorcové plechy s obrazom rúk, ktoré pôsobia, akoby sa vznášali nad povrchom obrazu. K povrchu viacerých štvorcových malieb je zasa pripevnený pevný hliníkový obdĺžnik. Práve tieto hliníkové obdĺžniky boli inšpiráciou pre názov výstavy, keďže umelec si predstavoval svoje maľby ako akúsi časovú kapsulu odrážajúcu život v dnešnom svete, ktorá doručí nevyhnutné informácie o našej súčasnej realite nasledujúcim generáciám.
Vytvorením cyklu INSIDE A TIME CAPSULE umelec naznačuje, že žiť v našom čase znamená žiť bez istoty. V umení, rovnako ako v politike, starý poriadok zaniká a nový sa ešte neobjavil — momentálne žijeme v napätí a chaose. V tomto momente destabilizácie sa však jedincom, ich rukám a mysliam, otvára obrovská príležitosť oveľa slobodnejšie prebádať rôzne nové postupy a nájsť v nich krásu.
Do 72-stranového katalógu prispeli svojimi textami až šiesti medzinárodne uznávaní kurátor – Rick Kinsel z New Yorku, Giacomo Marco Valerio z Milána, Martina Campese z Benátok, Dorothea Jeger z Zürichu, Ivan Jančár z Bratislavy a Anton Divácký z Prahy. Dvojjazyčná, slovensko-anglická publikácia obsahuje tiež zoznam vystavených diel, biografiu umelca a prierez vybraných výstav.

Chci mluvit jako rodilý Američan CD

The American Empire vs. The European Dream
Our ?age is defined by many different often contradictory values and processes of which the dominance of the American Empire is the most important. Europe with its fundamentally failed euro project challenged both the political and monetary hegemon status of the Empire and attempted to create a new empire. The American Empire did not put up with a rival global currency, so it has waged all types of modern warfare to prevent this attempt. That is how the vision of a European Empire turned to be a nightmare instead of a sweet and nurturing dream.
The book – using an unconventional approach and a broad historical perspective – analyses the American Empire, the current world order, its defining features, the relations and motivations of the major players and the grand strategies that they outline. In this multi-valued world, what goals and guidelines can safely lead us towards global prosperity? Do we need to set frameworks for our national visions in the 21st century, and if so, what are our main reference points in this volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world?
In order to restore the global balance of power, Europe have to give up its imperial ambitions and it has to return to its 16th century roots when European open-mindedness, cultural diversity and spiritual revolutions led to the cradle of future breakthroughs in science, technology and governance. The new global player, China also has an important role in restoring the global balance of power. The USA and China, the two world powers that complements each other in character can bring the new golden age of the global community.
By understanding these processes on individual level and as a nation, Hungary can develop new and successful strategies that incorporate eastern wisdom and western openness with which it can move closer to being one of the winners of this changing world order.

American Royals – Királyi élet
KÉT HERCEGNŐ VETÉLKEDÉSE A KORONÁÉRT. KÉT LÁNY VETÉLKEDÉSE A HERCEG SZÍVÉÉRT. EZ AZ AMERIKAI FELSÉGEK TÖRTÉNETE. Miután Amerika gyôzelmet aratott a függetlenségi háborúban, a nép felajánlotta George Washington tábornoknak a koronát. Kétszázötven évvel késôbb még mindig a Washington-ház ül a trónon. A dinasztiák többségéhez hasonlóan Washingtonéknál is be van biztosítva az utódlás. Minden gyerek pontosan tudja, mit várnak el tôle. Ôk az amerikai fenségek. Beatrice hercegnô, akire az a sors vár, hogy Amerika elsô nôi uralkodója legyen, hirtelen elviselhetetlenül fojtogatónak találja az egész életét kitöltô feladatot. A húga senkit sem érdekel igazán, kivéve, ha éppen felrúg valamilyen szabályt, ezért Samantha hercegnôt sem érdekli semmi, leszámítva… leszámítva a fiút, aki szigorúan tiltott gyümölcs számára. És akkor ott van még Samantha ikertestvére, Jefferson herceg. Ha egy nemzedékkel korábban születik, ô lenne a király, de az új öröklési törvény miatt csupán harmadik a trónöröklés rendjében. Az amerikaiak túlnyomó többsége imádja az ô szédületesen jóképu hercegüket… akinek szívéért két lány – két szélsôségesen ellentétes lány – vetélkedik.
