In Beyond the Avant Garde, scholars from Czechia, Canada, Germany, and Hungary take a new approach to exploring the work of one of Central Europes most interesting modernist painters -- Bohumil Kubišta. While many art historians have consigned Kubištas work into an idealized Czech canon, Kubišta did not identify with a nation state clearly defined by ethnicity, language, and territorial reach. Although born and raised in the Czech lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he traveled widely, maintained important international contacts, and served as a successful artillery officer in Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. Taking a transnational approach that incorporates thorough topographical research, the authors of Beyond the Avant-Garde: Bohumil Kubišta and European Modern Art attempt to redraw the current map of European modernism by exploring the artists subversive approach to the stylistic currents of his time. The book reveals the complex artistic, cultural, and historical relationships within early twentieth-century Europe, as Kubišta and other Central Europan artists tried to balance their admiration for the dominant artistic trends coming out of Paris with their desire to find alternative forms expression, arising from local artistic and intellectual sources. It traces Kubišta's steps through the boulevards and cafes of Paris and other cities, such as Florence and Pula, while also using cartographic techniques to record the progress of his artwork between various artistic points on Europes artistic map. In addition to the twenty scholarly chapters, the book features a wealth of documentation, including: high quality images of the artists work; an exhaustive 160-page timeline with notes from and about the artist, as well as documentary support; a comprehensive inventory of 363 Kubišta works; an exhibition list from 1907 to 2019.

One of the great coming-of-age tales, now with a new introduction by Alice Winn, author of In Memoriam ‘Decades have passed since I first discovered A Separate Peace but its impact remains unforgettable. It's a deeply moving coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of war’ M.L. Stedman, author of The Light Between Oceans In the uncertain early years of the second world war, two boys collide at a prestigious New England boarding school. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. As they spiral into a fraught, intense friendship, a shocking act of violence will banish the innocence of these boys and their world forever. An American modern classic and perennial bestseller, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence, and a haunting treatise on the horrors of war. ‘A model of restraint, deeply felt and beautifully written’ Observer ‘Exceptional power and distinction’ The Times ‘A quietly vital and cleanly written novel that moves, page by page, toward a most interesting target’ Truman Capote ‘A novel that made such a deep impression on me at sixteen that I can still conjure the atmosphere in my fifties: of yearning, infatuation mingled indistinguishably with envy, and remorse’ Lionel Shriver
