Art Nouveau
The Art Nouveau movement became an international phenomenon at the beginning of the twentieth century that ushered in the era of modernity in almost every aspect of cultural life. For decades critics have argued that Art Nouveau was not an artistic period in its own right, but an amalgam of artists and styles that served as a bridge between neoclassicism and modernism. In this comprehensive, authoritative and copiously illustrated book, art historian Norbert Wolf explores Art Nouveau as a logical outgrowth of the historic forces in which it arose. This book focuses on the movement's wide variety of applications and reclaims its prominence in the pantheon of modern art history. Chapters on aesthetics, spirituality and the cult of beauty offer luminous examples of works by Mucha, Gaudi, Hoffmann, Klimt, Horta, Munch and Tiffany, among many others. Wolf's text is both informed and accessible, providing an exciting narrative that brings the Art Nouveau movement into clear focus. Beautifully produced to appeal to a wide range of readers, this new edition gives one of the world's most popular styles the serious consideration it deserves.

The History of Graphic Design: 1 - 1890-1959
A Visual History of Graphic Design - A comprehensive look at hundreds of landmark projects, industry leaders profiles, and illustrated timelines for each decade.
History is a complex business. Fortunes boom and bust, empires wax and wane, and change-whether social, political, or technological-has its winners, its losers, its advocates, and its enemies. Through all the turbulent passage of time, graphic design-with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea-has distilled the spirit of each age.
This book offers a comprehensive history of graphic design from the end of the 19th century to the remains of World War II. It traces the evolution of this creative field from its beginning as poster design to its further development into advertising, corporate identity, packaging, and editorial design. Organized chronologically, the volume features over 2,500 seminal designs from all over the world, 71 of which are profiled in detail besides 61 leaders in the field, including Alphonse Mucha (chocolate advertisements), Edward Johnston (London Underground logo and typeface), El Lissitzky (constructivist graphics), Herbert Matter (photomontage travel posters from Switzerland), Saul Bass (animated opening titles), and A. M. Cassandre (art deco posters).
With his sweeping knowledge of the field, author Jens Muller curates the standout designs for each year alongside a running sequence of design milestones. Meanwhile, in his introductory essay, David Jury situates graphic design from its point of origin in early printing, engraving, and lithography to striking creative developments in the 19th century. Each consecutive decade is then prefaced by a succinct overview as well as a stunning visual timeline, offering a vivid display of the variety of graphic production in each decade as well as the global landscape which it at once described and defined.
As we move on from and reflect upon the 20th century, this staggering collection represents the foundations of what would influence some of the fastest changing creative fields, and a long-overdue recognition of the enormous contribution graphic design has made to economics, politics, social causes, arts, media, and the way we see the world.
A second volume in preparation will cover the period from 1960 to today.

Vojtěch Preissig (angl.)
The publication sums up current knowledge and for the first time presents the complete facts on Preissig’s rich body of work as a designer, which encompassed a wide range of activities, from bespoke graphics, to work on books and periodicals, to creating ornamental patterns and designs, right through to typography. Preissig’s American period includes the key time he spent teaching at the Teachers College of Columbia University in New York and in particular at Wentworth Institute in Boston, his work for a number of publishing houses, and finally his successful war posters, assessed here for the first time within the context of his work as a whole. The publication traces the fate of the artist and his work within the context of his era, and looks back reflectively on Preissig’s work during his individual creative periods. These are presented in chronological order, from his Parisian period, characterised by the influence of Alfons Mucha on Preissig’s work and his discovery of the craft of graphic design, to his Prague period, a time of bold ambitions culminating in disillusion and in the collapse of his own studio, followed by the ‘American dream’ period, interrupted by the First World War, and then eventually presenting Preissig with the dilemma about returning home, and finally his ultimate turn towards a new vision, the optimistic pursuit of which was however definitively thwarted by the onset of the Second World War.

Konyha, sör, főzés
"Az utóbbi időben jócskán megszaporodott a sörös könyvek száma. Egyre többen vannak olyanok, akik otthon, saját konyhájukban, pincéjükben, garázsukban állnak neki sört főzni. Ma már könnyen beszerezhetők az alapanyagok és a szükséges berendezések, így nem meglepő, hogy ez a hobbi nagy népszerűségnek örvend a fiatalok körében.
A témában eddig megjelent művek komoly, talán túlságosan is szakszerű írások. Ezen változtat ez a kis könyvecske, amelyben a szerző, saját bőrén megtapasztalt sikereit és kudarcait felhasználva, szórakoztatóan ismerteti meg olvasóit a házi sörfőzéssel és a sörfogyasztás kultúrájával. Ennek köszönhetően Mucha Attila művéből nemcsak a sörfőzés alapjaival ismerkedhetünk meg, hanem a szerző és könyvének tárgy - az általa főzött sörök - szoros kapcsolatával, valamint mindazzal, ami ehhez tartozik."

The Sweet Life in Paris
From the New York Times bestselling author of My Paris Kitchen and L'Appart, a deliciously funny, offbeat, and irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other confections.
Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city and after a nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he finally moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood. But he soon discovered it's a different world en France. From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries of men's footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the cheese plate, here is David's story of how he came to fall in love with--and even understand--this glorious, yet sometimes maddening, city. When did he realize he had morphed into un vrai parisien? It might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of men's dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris appearances and image mean everything. Once you stop laughing, the more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown Sugar-Bourbon Glaze, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread, Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and Mocha-Creme Fraîche Cake, will have you running to the kitchen for your own taste of Parisian living.

Pierrot Mon Ami
Ce silence, cette nuit, ces rues étroites, tout disposait Pierrot ne penser rien de précis. Il regardait droite, gauche, comme pour accrocher quelque part ses petites curiosités, mais ne trouvait rien - tout au plus les enseignes, et qui ne valaient pas les billes de l'avenue de Chaillot. Il songea un instant visiter le bobinard de cette sous-préfecture, mais il ne rencontrait personne pour le renseigner. Finalement il se perdit. Il traversait maintenant une petite banlieue ouvrire, avec des manufactures ici et l. Plus loin, Pierrot atteignit une route assez large, avec un double liséré d'arbres, peut-tre nationale ? peut-tre départementale ? Il marcha encore quelques instants. Il entendit tout prs de lui un grand cri, un cri de femme, un cri de peur.
Affaire Saint-Fiacre
Un grattement timide la porte ; le bruit d'un objet posé sur le plancher : une voix furtive : Il est cinq heures et demie ! Le premier coup de la messe vient de sonner... " Maigret fit grincer le sommier du lit en se soulevant sur les coudes et tandis qu'il regardait avec étonnement la lucarne percée dans le toit en pente, la voix reprit : " Est-ce que vous communiez ? " Maintenant, le commissaire Maigret était debout, les pieds nus sur le plancher glacial. Il marcha vers la porte qui fermait l'aide d'une ficelle enroulée deux clous. Il y eut des pas qui fuyaient, et, quand il fut dans le couloir, il eut juste le temps d'apercevoir une silhouette de femme en camisole et en jupon blanc. Alors il ramassa le broc d'eau chaude que Marie Tatin lui avait apporté, ferma sa porte, chercha un bout de miroir devant lequel se raser."
