A magyar szecesszió bútorművészete
A XIX. század végén kibontakozó és a XX. század első évtizedében virágzó szecesszió az iparművészetben teljesedett ki. A nemzetközi stílusirányzatok hatására és a hazai stíluskeresés eredményeként átformálódott a magyar bútorművészet is. A nemzeti stílus megteremtését célzó törekvések létrehozták a szecesszió magyaros változatát, egyes tervezők külföldi példákat követtek, a néprajzi kutatások a népi bútorformákat és díszítőelemeket emelték be a polgári otthonok falai közé. A tervezők köré csoportosított tárgyak a hazai bútorművészet eredményein keresztül mutatják be a magyar szecesszió sokszínűségét. A kötet ismert életművek -Lechner Ödön, Horti Pál, Toroczkai Wigand Ede, Lajta Béla, Kozma Lajos- darabjai mellett olyan, szinte elfelejtett művészek alkotásait is bemutatja, mint Pálinkás Béla, Wessely Vilmos vagy Menyhért Miklós. A kötet a bútorok mellett tervek, rajzok, archív felvételek segítségével igyekszik minél teljesebb képet adni egy-egy alkotói pályáról és a korszak bútorművészetéről.

Becoming Ella Fitzgerald
A landmark biography that reclaims Ella Fitzgerald as a major American artist and modernist innovator.
Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996) possessed one of the twentieth century’s most astonishing voices. In this first major biography since Fitzgerald’s death, historian Judith Tick offers a sublime portrait of this ambitious risk-taker whose exceptional musical spontaneity made her a transformational artist.
Becoming Ella Fitzgerald clears up long-enduring mysteries. Archival research and in-depth family interviews shed new light on the singer’s difficult childhood in Yonkers, New York, the tragic death of her mother, and the year she spent in a girls’ reformatory school?where she sang in its renowned choir and dreamed of being a dancer. Rarely seen profiles from the Black press offer precious glimpses of Fitzgerald’s tense experiences of racial discrimination and her struggles with constricting models of Black and white femininity at midcentury.
Tick’s compelling narrative depicts Fitzgerald’s complicated career in fresh and original detail, upending the traditional view that segregates vocal jazz from the genre’s mainstream. As she navigated the shifting tides between jazz and pop, she used her originality to pioneer modernist vocal jazz. Interpreting long-lost setlists, reviews from both white and Black newspapers, and newly released footage and recordings, the book explores how Ella’s transcendence as an improvisor produced onstage performances every bit as significant as her historic recorded oeuvre.
From the singer’s first performance at the Apollo Theatre’s famous “Amateur Night” to the Savoy Ballroom, where Fitzgerald broke through with Chick Webb’s big band in the 1930s, Tick evokes the jazz world in riveting detail. She describes how Ella helped shape the bebop movement in the 1940s, as she joined Dizzy Gillespie and her then-husband, Ray Brown, in the world-touring Jazz at the Philharmonic, one of the first moments of high-culture acceptance for the disreputable art form.
Breaking ground as a female bandleader, Fitzgerald refuted expectations of musical Blackness, deftly balancing artistic ambition and market expectations. Her legendary exploration of the Great American Songbook in the 1950s fused a Black vocal aesthetic and jazz improvisation to revolutionize the popular repertoire. This hybridity often confounded critics, yet throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Ella reached audiences around the world, electrifying concert halls, and sold millions of records.
A masterful biography, Becoming Ella Fitzgerald describes a powerful woman who set a standard for American excellence nearly unmatched in the twentieth century.

Mystéria křesťanská aneb o kosmogonikcém tajemství Velikonoc
Pronikavý rozbor velikonočních obřadů zaměřený na zasvěcení do tajemstvíVzkříšení jakožto spásy světa jeho znovustvořením: "Spása duše souvisí snápravou, přerodem lidské "přirozenosti". Uvidíme, že o "přírodu" a"přirozenost" v těchto obřadech jde především. V mysterijní zkušenostisplývá přirozenost duše s přirozeností veškerenstva a spása vlastní sespásou světa. Obé se setkává v 'srdci přirozenosti', které - tak jakoNoemova Archa či Archa Úmluvy - zachraňuje, uchovává a chrání kosmickýřád stvoření, zatímco svět sám dochází své obnovy skrze tajemný průchodnestvořenem, otevřený Kristovým Zmrtvýchvstáním. Událostí Vzkříšenípovstává svět ze svého nebytí - tak jako fénix z vlastního popele."

Opevnění v okolí Prahy
V době zvýšeného ohrožení Československa na konci 30. let minulého století bylo opevňováno nejen pohraničí, ale řada pevnostních linií vznikla i ve vnitrozemí republiky. Na obranu přístupů k hlavnímu městu byla vybudována 112 km dlouhá fortifikační linie, tzv. "Pražská čára". Její průběh byl od Mělníka přes Velvary, Slaný, Smečno, Novou Huť pod Nižborem a Beroun ke Hlásné Třebáni a poté přes brdský hřeben ke Slapům n. Vlt. Od srpna 1936 do září 1938 zde bylo vybetonováno 830 pevnostních objektů a desítky kilometrů překážkového systému. Tato fakta, širčí veřejnosti dosud málo známá, jsou v této publikaci přibližována za pomoci četných dobových dokumentů a fotografií, z nichž většina je zveřejněna poprvé po 65 letech od tragických událostí podzimu 1938. Přílohová část publikace obsahuje zejména letecké snímky, pořízené v letech 1938-1953, na kterých je vyznačeno umístění většiny z 830 pevnostních objektů vybudovaných v rámci 17 stavebních úseků tzv. Pražské čáry. Dále zde najdeme ukázky původní dokumentace jednotlivých stavebních úseků z fondů Vojenského historického archivu, terén pevnostní linie zachycený na řadě dobových pohlednic a výkresy stavebně nejzajímavějších realizovaných pevnůstek. Nechybí ani celková přehledná mapa Pražské čáry formátu A3 s vyznačením rozmístění jednotek dvou českosloveských divizí, které byly na podzim 1938 připraveny k obraně hlavního města. V obou svazcích publikace bylo zpracováno přes 270 dobových fotografií, pohlednic, leteckých snímů a technických výkresů.

Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine
Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.

Etické dilemy Pierra Abélarda
Autor skúma etiku Pierra Abélarda v celej jej komplexnosti, ako po historickej, diachrónnej línii, tak aj synchrónnej v rámci kontextu života Pierra Abealarda. V Jozekovom texte je zvýraznená subjektivizačná tendencia Abélardovej náuky o poznaní, ktorá sa prejavuje v etike v dôraze na úmysel, ako jedinečnom a podstatnom kľúči k spravodlivému etickému aj právnemu hodnoteniu každého jednotlivého človeka. Text nastoľuje problematiku mravnej indiferencie v ľudskom konaní. Mravnú kvalitu dostáva ľudský skutok až vôľovým rozhodnutím konať proti svojmu svedomiu alebo v súhlase so svojim svedomím. Čo je proti svedomiu, to je mravné zlo - etický nedostatok. Ťažisková časť získaných materiálov pochádza z dominikánskych, benediktínskych a jezuitských archívov a knižníc, kde bolo možné nahliadnuť do zdrojov originálneho i sekundárneho charakteru.

Hyperborea
A career-to-date retrospective of a unique creative talent. A journey to the most inaccessible Arctic regions of Siberia, showing dreamlike encounters with its people, landscapes, and fauna. Hyperborea presents unforgettable visual tales of life in the Siberian Arctic that Evgenia Arbugaeva knew when she was growing up in Tiksi, a town on the shore of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Yakutia. Her work discloses both the fragility and beautiful desolation of the land and those who inhabit it, and her rigorously composed photographs glow with rich otherworldly color, bristle with the raw vibrancy of the climate, and exhibit the quiet intensity of lives borne out in seclusion and extremes.
This beautifully produced photobook contains a decade of work, with photographs selected from across the full range of Arbugaeva’s series and extensive travels across the Russian Arctic coast to connect with people living in these remote and inhospitable places. The photographs that she brings back from her long-term visits convey a world where everything seems humans and nature, the sky and the land. An elemental space of deep solitude and slower pace of life. Her images invite us to contemplate a territory that has been a place of longing and imagination for many, which is now under existential threat from a multitude of environmental changes.
With an introduction by anthropologist Piers Vitebsky, four texts by Arbugaeva to supplement the images, and a specially commissioned map to provide a sense of where Arbugaeva’s work is located, Hyperborea is a future collectible for all photobook fans and introduces a global audience to a very special talent in the world of photography. 45 color illustrations

Hardcore
A rich visual celebration of Pulp’s sixth album, This is Hardcore, featuring unseen photography and behind-the-scenes interviews.
From the mid- to late 1990s, Paul Burgess was invited by Jarvis Cocker to document the British band Pulp, taking photographs during video shoots, live gigs, and other events for what has become one of the landmark albums of the period, This Is Hardcore. Written and designed by Burgess and Louise Colbourne, Hardcore contains a candid selection of previously unseen images of the band, behind the scenes and on set, from the four main video shoots made to promote the album.

The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 2: 1966-2021
The second volume of Clinton Heylin's magisterial biography takes us from Dylan's 1966 motorcycle accident to the present day. We meet a man who is determined to confound expectations; yet whatever he does only seems to confirm his iconic status to fans and critics alike.
There are peaks and troughs. Long periods of writer's block are followed by sudden bursts of creativity that produce some of the best work of his career, including perhaps his most celebrated album, 1975's Blood On The Tracks. There is the unpredictable recording process, with Dylan often including on his albums the worst takes and leaving off the best songs altogether. On the Neverending Tour he reinvents his songbook on a nightly basis, at times without recognition. Then there are the albums and songs that reveal the genius of an artist whose lyrics draw on centuries of American culture but who refuses to be shackled to his own past.
Today his voice is almost unrecognisable from his 1960s peak, and the man whose songs had been devoted to dissecting his romantic relationships has become focused on mortality, solitude and getting old. Yet his albums continue to top the charts, 2020's Rough And Rowdy Ways being his fourth No. 1 album of the twenty-first century.
There is no other living artist whose creative output has remained constantly intriguing, often baffling, sometimes infuriating but always fascinating for over sixty years. Clinton Heylin's definitive, scrupulously researched and revelatory life, based on unprecedented access to the official Tulsa archive and other new sources, paints the fullest and brightest portrait yet of an iconic figure that has defined contemporary culture.
