Definitive Depeche Mode Video Library Presents the Group's Original Music Video Singles--from 1981 to 2013--in a 3DVD DigiPak
Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection -- the definitive 3DVD library anthology containing more than four hours of the post-punk pioneers' groundbreaking music videos (and two-plus hours of audio commentary) -- will be released by SONY Music Entertainment on November 18, 2016.
Video Singles Collection is the first official Depeche Mode archival title to be released under the SONY imprimatur since SME acquired rights to the DM catalog in July 2015.
"We're pleased and honored to be releasing Depeche Mode's Video Singles Collection, an essential addition to the band's recently licensed catalog documenting their lasting contributions to music video history," said Richard Story, President Commercial Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment.
The 3DVD set presents more than three decades worth of Depeche Mode's international hit singles as lensed for the group's mind-blowing progression of innovative and provocative music videos directed by a who's who of cinematic visionaries including Julien Temple, Anton Corbijn, D.A. Pennebaker, John Hillcoat and others.
Throughout Depeche Mode's career, the group has placed an essential emphasis on the quality of their videos, collaborating with world-class directors and crews on some of the most influential and powerful short films in music video history.
"Videos have always played an essential part in how we wanted to present Depeche Mode's music to the world," agreed the members of the band. "It's been amazing to go back and relive all the experiences and memories these videos evoke after all these years. It's incredible to have all our videos finally together in one place and we're hoping our fans enjoy this journey through time as much as we did."
Video Singles Collection is the first in a series of band-approved retrospective projects examining Depeche Mode's extraordinary career and effect on pop culture and marks the first time that DM's video singles--from 1981 to 2013--have been compiled together in a single anthology.
The set includes 55 newly restored versions of the essential video singles in the DM canon in addition to four rare alternate videos and new commentary on specific individual clips, recorded by members of Depeche Mode especially for this release.

What is Black Art?
A landmark anthology on British art history, bringing together overlooked and marginalized perspectives from 'the critical decade'
What is Black art? This vital anthology gives voice to a generation of artists of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage who worked within and against British art institutions in the 1980s, including Sonia Boyce, Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers and Rasheed Araeen. It brings together artists' statements, interviews, exhibition catalogue essays and reviews, most of which have been unavailable for many years and resonate profoundly today. Together they interrogate the term 'Black art' itself, and revive a forgotten dialogue from a time when men and women who had been marginalized made themselves heard within the art world and beyond.
War
Historians and theorists explore the anthropology and history of war
Originating from the Engelsberg Seminar of 2015, this anthology gathers texts from internationally renowned historians, journalists, researchers and authors exploring war as both a creator and destroyer of states, from early civilization to the present day.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces
Explore the Hero's Journey in stories as old as humanity and as new as last night's dreamThe latest incarnation of Oedipus, the continued romance of Beauty and the Beast, stand this afternoon on the corner of 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for the traffic light to change. — Joseph CampbellSince its release in 1949, The Hero with a Thousand Faceshas influenced millions of readers by combining the insights of modern psychology with Joseph Campbell’s revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology. In these pages, Campbell outlines the Hero’s Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through virtually all of the world’s mythic traditions. He also explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, the mythic pattern of world creation and destruction.As part of the Joseph Campbell Foundation’s Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, this third edition features expanded illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and more accessible sidebars.As relevant today as when it was first published, The Hero with a Thousand Facescontinues to find new audiences in fields ranging from religion and anthropology to literature and film studies. The book has also profoundly influenced creative artists—including authors, songwriters, game designers, and filmmakers—and continues to inspire all those interested in the inherent human need to tell stories.Reviews:“I have returned to no other book more often since leaving college than this one, and every time I discover new insight into the human journey. Every generation will find in Hero wisdom for the ages.” — Bill Moyers“In the three decades since I discovered The Hero with a Thousand Faces, it has continued to fascinate and inspire me. Joseph Campbell peers through centuries and shows us that we are all connected by a basic need to hear stories and understand ourselves. As a book, it is wonderful to read; as illumination into the human condition, it is a revelation.” — George Lucas“Campbell’s words carry extraordinary weight, not only among scholars but among a wide range of other people who find his search down mythological pathways relevant to their lives today....The book for which he is most famous, The Hero with a Thousand Faces [is] a brilliant examination, through ancient hero myths, of man’s eternal struggle for identity.” — Time

100 Movies of the 2010s
Cinema has likely never been written off so often. In the decade of the 2010s, it is true, much has changed - both in how we watch movies, and in how we see ourselves. Social media and the internet have shaped a new understanding of the self and the world. As streaming services multiplied our viewing options and video games offered alluring realities of their own, the big screen faced serious competition. Even before the usual delays between theatrical release and further distribution became ever shorter, movies often found themselves downgraded to mere "content", to be clicked at on colorful screen tiles. Are all that remain to cinema its cult of celebrity, blockbusters, and computer-animated visual effects?
Quite the contrary - even a cursory glance at our anthology reveals a cinema that is surprisingly diverse, dynamic, and above all alive and kicking, resulting in a decade that was anything but boring, monotonous, and doomed to extinction. And in all honesty: Would you really be satisfied watching all the films compiled here purely via streaming? The movie theater remains a place of yearning, and our book lets you feel its powerful breath.
Each of the 100 most compelling movies of the decade is discussed in detail by editor Jurgen Muller and his team of authors, and illustrated with a wealth of visual material. The volume also includes biographies of actors and directors, box-office takings, background information, and a comprehensive list of Oscar (R) winners from 2012 to 2021. For Jurgen Muller and Philipp Buhler in their wide-ranging introduction, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019) offers the perfect metaphor for the contradictions and ambivalences of contemporary cinema. This volume is a new milestone for all cineastes and movie lovers!
Báječný svět hub
Houbaření je typicky český fenomén. Houbaří ostatní Slované, Italové, občas Němci, především Bavoři. Ale nikdo na světě nesbírá houby s takovým nadšením, vášní a entuziasmem jako Češi. Když začnou růst houby, davy lidí směřují k lesu. Děje se tak už celá staletí. Za každého počasí a bez ohledu na režim, který právě v Čechách vládne. Kamenova kniha popisuje různé podoby této nikdy neutuchající vášně. Čtenář se v ní setká s velkými houbaři a mykology, s houbami jedlými, jedovatými, erotickými, komickými a kosmickými. S houbami zpívajícími a zarytě mlčícími. A s houbaři, kteří ten houbový svět čtenáři představí v nečekaných situacích a souvislostech.
Báječný svět hub je jedinečným průvodcem úžasným světem hub a jejich nadšených milovníků.

Pověsti z Čech
Kniha Pověsti z Čech Josefa Virgila Grohmanna (1831–1919), významného domácího německy píšícího mytologa, je historicky první sbírkou českých pověstí. Toto unikátní dílo je však širší veřejnosti téměř neznámé – ani ne tak proto, že od jeho prvního a dosud jediného vydání uplynulo již téměř 150 let, jako spíš z toho důvodu, že vyšlo pouze v německém jazyce. Díky tomuto účelovému zapomenutí, způsobenému především národnostními předsudky, byly Grohmannovy Pověsti známé jen úzké hrstce odborníků a v českém překladu vycházejí poprvé až nyní. Grohmannova sbírka je cenná nejen pro své historické prvenství, ale i pro svoji nebývalou odbornou úroveň, ve které překonává i četné pozdější sbírky domácího slovesného folkloru. Její autor totiž lidové pověsti chápal jako hodnotu a pramen stojící sám o sobě, který není třeba nikterak literárně upravovat, a svým čtenářům tak jako první u nás předložil komplexní a autentický obraz lidové pověstní tradice.ePUB ISBN 978-80-7428-063-4MOBI ISBN 978-80-7428-087-0

The Penguin Book of Bengali Short Stories
A landmark new anthology of Bengali literature in English, including many previously untranslated stories
The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions.
Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales.
A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.
Lacná kniha The Atlas of Monsters (-50%)
One day a collection of very old maps in found in a dusty library. They show where in the world monsters from mythology and folklore can be found. According to the notes left with them they were made by Cornelius Walters, an intrepid explorer from the 15th century. But did Walters really make these elaborate maps, or is it all a hoax? The librarian who discovered them is not certain ... and what are the strange messages in a cryptic code that Walters records in his ship's log?
Inside this wonderous atlas are trolls and dragons, minotaurs and krackens, goblins and giants ... and there is a puzzle to solve.
Stuart Hill's spectacular illustrations evoke the beauty of a medieval map, but with a contemporary twist.
