Lautner
American architect John Lautner (1911-1994) is responsible for some of the most original buildings of the space age and, indeed, the 20th century. The residences he designed in the Los Angeles area, including the Chemosphere House and the Silvertop, are synonymous with the hopes and dreams of an entire era. Characterized by sweeping rooflines, glass-paneled walls, and steel beams, his buildings displayed a combination of fantasy and minimalism, often integrating water and incorporating surrounding landscapes. Lautner always placed great importance on the relationship between humans, space, and nature.

Rockwell
Since his work is categorized as illustration and was most famously featured on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, fine art critics were slow to acknowledge the importance of Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) as true artist, though his work was enormously popular during his lifetime and has endured as a crucial element in America’s perception of itself in the 20th century. Through the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, World War II, the 1950s and 60s, Rockwell illustrations were a part of daily life, showing, as he once said, "the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed."

Papírvárosok
Quentin Jacobsen egész életét azzal töltötte, hogy távolról csodálta a hihetetlenül kalandvágyó Margo Roth Spiegelmant. Így aztán, amikor a lány nindzsának öltözve kinyitja Quentin ablakát, bemászik rajta az életébe, és magával invitálja egy nagy fantáziával kitervelt bosszúhadjáratra, a fiú vele tart.
Egész éjszakás kalandjuk után új nap veszi kezdetét, s amikor Q megérkezik az iskolába, megtudja, hogy a mindig is enigmatikus Margo ezúttal valódi rejtéllyé lett. Hamarosan kiderül azonban, hogy vannak bizonyos nyomok, amelyek felderítése csak rá vár. Ezzel olyan csapongó kaland veszi kezdetét, amelynek során minél közelebb kerül, annál kevesebb tárul fel előtte a lányból, akiről azt hitte, jól ismeri.
A Printz-díjat elnyerő John Green azzal a ragyogó szellemességgel és izzó érzelmi őszinteséggel tér vissza, amely olvasók egy egész új generációját hozta lázba.

Dali (Art & Ideas)
One of the best-known and most visually influential artists of the 20th century, Salvadore Dali achieved fame on an international scale as both painter and celebrity. Bridging the gap between high art and popular culture, he created in his Surrealist works a startling imagery that moved freely into the Freudian world of the subconcious - and which has subsequently been widely adopted by media and advertising. Robert Radford traces Dali's career from the Spanish town of Figueras to membership of the Surrealist Circle in Paris, then on to New York and Hollywood - with the Spanish Civil War and World War II exploding in the background.

Braque (Great Modern Masters)
Focusing on the French painter, Georges Braque (1882-1963), this is one of a series of illustrated monographs which offer introductions to modern art and artists. Each book presents a profile of the artist and analysis of his distinctive style. Braque was one of the artistic pioneers of the 20th century. Together with his friend Picasso, he is considered a founding father of Cubism, a term first used to describe the fragmented, cube-like forms found in many of his most innovative works. Some of Braque's more inventive techniques included mixing pigment with sand and metal filings, and creating compositions of pasted paper collage, known as "papiers colles".

Pop Art
Pop Art was one of the most revolutionary art movements of the 20th century. In the 1950s, a group of artists in Great Britain and the USA, rather than despising popular culture, gladly embraced both its imagery and its methods, using photographs, advertisements, posters, cartoons and everyday objects to form the basis of their art. Their audacity at first scandalized the Establishment, but by the mid-1960s their work dominated the world art scene and names such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg were familiar to many. This book examines the formation and growth of the movement with selected examples from the style's most important exponents.

Their Eyes Were Watching God

Janie endures two stifling marriages before meeting the man of her dreams, who offers not diamonds, but a packet of flowering seeds ...'For me, THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD is one of the very greatest American novels of the 20th century. It is so lyrical it should be sentimental, it is so passionate it should be overwrought, but it is instead a rigorous, convincing and dazzling piece of prose, as emotionally satisfying as it is impressive.

Cezanne (Art & Ideas)
With his distinctive paintings of landscapes, figures and still-lifes, Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) profoundly influenced the Cubists and the direction of 20th-century art. This account of his life and work traces his full career from his early years in Aix-en-Provence, through his time in Paris studying the Old Masters and working with the Impressionists, to his later, reclusive years back in Provence, when he produced the pictures that made him the precursor of a new art. The book roots Cezanne in his own time and place, examining his work within the issues and debates of his own generation, particularly those about the essential characteristics and direction of French art and society.

Hide That Can
Photographer Deirdre O'Callaghan has produced an unsettling but ultimately engaging document of the residents at Arlington House, Europe's largest men's refuge. Built in the early 20th century for intinerant Irish workers, many of the residents have been displaced from their home country and suffer from mental and physical disabilities, largely alcoholism. O'Callaghan's work reveals the humour and companionship the men derive from their shared experience, both in the refuge and on their sponsored return trips to Ireland. This book won the ICP Infinity Award for best publication in 2003 and the Rencontres de la Photographie D'Arles award for best book. It was also included in the PDN Photography Annual 2003 in the best books category

Moscow And St.Petersburg In R
The history of Russia has seesawed through the centuries between Europe and Asia. In this dichotomy, St. Petersburg looked west and Moscow looked east. Power moved between the two cities, the Tsars were crowned in Moscow yet ruled from St Petersburg. But at the turn of the 20th century, just before Tsarist Russia came tumbling down, both cities experienced a sudden, brilliant flowering of the visual, literary and performing arts. Known in Russia as the Silver Age, this cultural renaissance is captured in all its dazzling originality from the unprecedented synthesis of the arts in the productions of Diaghilev's "Ballets Russes" to Stanislavsky's groundbreaking stagings of Chekov, to Malevich's revolutionary "Black Square" in this impeccably written, sumptuously illustrated volume.

Holtak ideje
Egy meggondolatlan tett és egy anya kétségbeesett lépése. Ennyi kell, hogy egy gondosan felépített emberélet pillanatok alatt romokban heverjen, egy álom semmivé foszlódjon. Ez Hoffmann Jakab és Róth Márton története. Egy forradalom, amely egyeseknek a szabadság, másoknak a megnyugvás érzésével kecsegtet. Ez egy nemzet története. Egy fiú, aki eltűnt apját keresi. Nem ítélkezik, csak emlékezik. Egy másik világra, egy boldog gyermekkorra. Ez az ő története. Reisinger Attila legújabb kisregénye ezekből az emberéletekből kiragadott pillanatokból formál kerek egészet. A történet Ausztria szovjet megszállásának utolsó napjaiból visszarepít a második világháború borzalmai közé, ám mielőtt végleg lezárul, az '56-os forradalom reménnyel átitatott és veszteséggel terhes napjait is feleleveníti. A szerző korábbi regényeihez hasonlóan ismét egy megtörtént eseményt dolgoz fel. A Holtak ideje regény a szeretetről, a reményről, a veszteségről, a sors iróniájáról, a bűnről és a bűnhődésről, az igazságosságról és az igazságtalanságról.
