Stříbrná a modrá: šperky z Číny v Náprstkově muzeu / Silver and Blue: Jewellery from China in the Ná
První práce v českém jazyce, která přináší ucelené informace o šperku z Číny. Zaměřuje se na sbírku v Náprstkově muzeu pocházející z období konce dynastie Čching (16441911). Tím, že tato sbírka zastupuje materiály, techniky výroby a typy, které se objevují během celé historie čínského šperkařství, je možné na jejich příkladu ukázat, jakou roli šperky zastávaly v tradiční čínské společnosti. Kromě toho přibližuje osobnosti a příběhy spojené s touto sbírkou. Práce je určena zájemcům o dějiny šperkařství, sběratelství a čínské umělecké řemeslo. Dvojjazyčné, česko-anglické vydání, bohatý obrazový doprovod.
The present monograph is the first Czech language study to provide comprehensive information about jewellery in China. It focuses on the Late Qing Dynasty (16441911) collection in the Náprstek Museum. However, it represents the materials, techniques, and types that have appeared throughout the history of Chinese jewellery-making and shows the role of jewellery in traditional Chinese society. In addition, it also presents personalities and acquisition histories associated with this collection. This work is intended for those interested in the history of jewellery, collecting, and Chinese arts and crafts.

That is, until his mysterious death.On a July evening in 1928, Lowenstein boarded his aircraft with six others to travel from England to Brussels. He never arrived. While flying over the English Channel, Lowenstein fell through an exit door of the airplane on his way to the lavatory.People were quick to explain his mysterious death. Many said his fall was an accident while others speculated that he jumped from the plane to commit suicide. And of course, there were the more sinister theories claiming that someone pushed him out of the aircraft. But who? And why?Investigative journalist William Norris develops a theory of how and why this prominent, rich, and famous man died so violently without any explanation or official investigation. Did Lowenstein fall, did he jump, or was he pushed from his own aircraft?The Man Who Fell from the Sky contains excitement and mystery as Norris researches the business tycoon’s life, death, and aftermath of his demise and comes to a conclusion of how Alfred Lowenstein vanished into thin air.

The Teacher from Mars
"The Teacher from Mars" became an instant classic when it was published in the February 1941 issue of the classic pulp magazine, Thrilling Wonder Stories. It concerns a Martian who comes to Earth as a teacher, experiencing—in the wake of a devastating war—racism and intolerance. Told from the first person viewpoint of an alien, it was unusual for its time, and Eando Binder (the pseudonym of Otto O. Binder) selected it as his best work for the 1954 anthology, My Best Scieince Fiction Story.

Hermes: Straight from the Horse's Mouth
This irresistible, authorized, illustrated gift book from the luxury brand Hermes is an homage, in stories and drawings, to the artisans and craftsmen who have been the foundation of the iconic brand since its beginnings as a saddle-maker for the carriage trade in 19th-century Paris. The stories are short, pithy, often quite witty, and they include first-person accounts from the leather artisans, silk manufacturers, and goldsmiths, gardeners, window dressers, designers, and electricians who have plied their craft at Hermes.We learn about quirky characters in the atelier who refuse to share their tools, of an elevator ride with a visiting President Nixon that went badly wrong, of a life-sized white rhinoceros made for a window display that disappears in Switzerland, reappears in Colorado, and returns, eventually, to Paris. A concise and witty company history, the book shares genuine love for the craft of producing luxury goods of the highest quality.Even if you can't afford to buy your partner a Hermes bag or wallet, you can afford to give them this enchanting book.
