Miért hordott póthajat Haydn hajdanán?
Miért akarta kidobni Händel az egyik legjobb énekesnőjét az ablakon? Kikkel és hogyan bulizott együtt Schubert? Hogyan kerülte el Csajkovszkij, hogy személyesen is találkozzon legnagyobb hódolójával? Miért húzta végig az osztálytermen orruknál fogva a növendékeit Dvořák? Milyen zenét írt Fauré, miután teljesen megsüketült? És miért hordott póthajat Haydn hajdanán? Ezekre a kérdésekre is választ kapunk a világhírű csellista, Steven Isserlis gyerekeknek írott második könyvéből, amelyben hat további kedvenc zeneszerzőjét mutatja be szórakoztató és olvasmányos módon. Nemcsak a zeneszerzők életútját ismerhetjük meg a kötetből, hanem valódi portrét is rajzol róluk Isserlis, aki abban is segít az olvasónak, hogy mely művek meghallgatásával érdemes kezdeni a komponistákkal való ismerkedést.
Borzasztó boldog vagyok, hogy Miért hordott póthajat Haydn hajdanán? című könyvemet is kiadják Magyarországon, a világ legzeneibb országában. Remélem, tetszeni fognak a történetek a tekintélyes Händel úrról, a kedves Haydn papáról, a szegény és szomorú Schubertről, a patetikus Csajkovszkijról, a heves vérmérsékletű, sörissza Dvořákról, és a gyengéd, kifinomult Gabriel Fauréról (aki a legkedvesebb zeneszerzőim egyike, de valamiért alig ismert Magyarországon). Valamennyien egyedülálló, elbűvölő, vicces és rendkívül érzelmes személyiségek: alig várják, hogy találkozzanak veled! Jó szórakozást! Steven Isserlis
Attila, a barbár király
John Man, a nagy sikerű "Dzsingisz kán" szerzője legújabb könyvében az 5. századi Római Birodalom legfélelmetesebb támadóját, a hunok nagy királyát mutatja be. Az "Isten ostoraként" emlegetett Attila zsákmányra éhes harcosai élén sikeresen nyomult az egykori birodalmi főváros, Róma felé, miközben ravasz diplomataként többször is megsarcolta Bizáncot. Az angol történész-író a korabeli gót, görög, római beszámolók mellett ismeri és felhasználja a hun-magyar rokonságot valló krónikáinkat, a magyar, a germán, a gall mondakincset; magyarországi kutatásai során megismerkedett a hazai hun régészet eredményeivel, a Kassai Lajos felújította lovas íjászattal is. Oknyomozó történészként, gazdag fantáziájú ismeretterjesztőként rajzol portrét Attiláról: a népét összefogó hadvezérről, a ravasz diplomatáról, a családapáról, üstökösként felívelő pályájáról és titokzatos haláláról. Közben felvázolja a sikert sikerre halmozó, majd a népek tengerében nyomtalanul eltűnő Hun Birodalom és a nagy ellenfelek, Bizánc és Róma korabeli évtizedeit. A kötet gazdag fotóanyaga és a térképek segítenek eligazodni e távoli kor eseményei között.

Zdánlivě empatická a laskavě vyhlížející učitelka manipuluje prostřednictvím svých žáků jejich rodiči za účelem osobního obohacení, ať už v podobě materiálních výhod, či dokonce vidiny milostného poměru. Nejen z obavy o prospěch svých milovaných dětí většina rodičů třídní učitelce základní školy podléhá a poskytuje jí nejrůznější služby, dárky a jiné pozornosti. Najdou se však tři rodiny, které se rozhodnou učitelce vzepřít a stávající situaci se společně s ředitelkou školy pokusí zvrátit na konspirativní třídní schůzce. Děj strhujícího a velmi aktuálního snímku o síle lidského charakteru inspirovaného skutečnou událostí se sice odehrává na začátku 80. let, ale jde o příběh univerzální, který by se mohl odehrát kdekoliv a v jakékoli době, neboť zkorumpovanost, stejně jako malost a vypočítavost vládnou světem bez ustání.

Heat 2
Michael Mann, Oscar-nominated filmmaker and writer-director of Heat and Miami Vice, teams up with Meg Gardiner to deliver Mann’s first crime novel, an explosive return to the world and characters of his classic film Heat – an all-new story that illuminates what happened before and after the film.
Described by Michael Mann as both a prequel and sequel to the renowned, critically acclaimed film of the same name, HEAT 2 covers the formative years of homicide detective Vincent Hanna (Oscar winner Al Pacino) and elite criminals Neil McCauley (Oscar winner Robert De Niro), Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), and Nate (Oscar winner Jon Voight), and features the same extraordinary ambition, scope, rich characterizations, and attention to detail as the epic film.
This new story leads up to the events of the film and then moves beyond it, featuring new characters on both sides of the law, new high-line heists, and breathtakingly cinematic action sequences. Ranging from the streets of L.A. to the inner sancta of rival Taiwanese crime syndicates in Paraguay to a massive drug cartel money-laundering operation just over the border in Mexico, HEAT 2 illuminates the dangerous workings of international crime organizations and the agents who pursue them as it provides a full-blooded portrait of the men and women who inhabit both worlds.
Operatic in scope, HEAT 2 is engrossing, moving, and tragic – a masterpiece of crime fiction from one of the most innovative and influential filmmakers in American cinema.
Kimono Style
The untold modern history of the Japanese kimono and its dynamic relationship to Western culture
Japan's engagement with Western clothing, culture, and art in the mid-nineteenth century transformed the traditional kimono and began a cross-cultural sartorial dialogue that continues to this day. This publication explores the kimono's fascinating modern history and its notable influence on Western fashion. Initially signaling the wearer's social position, marital status, age, and wealth, older kimono designs gave way to the demands of modernized and
democratized twentieth-century lifestyles as well as the preferences of the emancipated "new woman." Conversely, inspiration from the kimono's silhouette liberated Western designers such as Paul Poiret and Madeline Vionnet from traditional European tailoring. Juxtaposing never-before-published Japanese textiles from the John C. Weber Collection with Western couture, this book places the kimono on the stage of global fashion history.

Titian
Tiziano Vecellio (c.1488/90-1576) - known in English simply as Titian - was a remarkably versatile painter, equally comfortable with a wide range of genres and subjects. Unlike many artists from history whose work has been appreciated only after their death, Titian enjoyed fame and success throughout his career, which spanned over seven decades. Based in Venice, Titian received commissions from many local patrons and the Venetian government, as well as many distinguished figures from further afield, such as the Pope, the German emperor and the King of Spain. Titian's contemporary biographer, Giorgio Vasari, praised his skill as a colourist, the artist's careful modelling and depth of colour, shown to especially good effect in mythological works such as 'Bacchus and Ariadne' (1520-3) and 'Tarquin and Lucretia' (1569-71), continue to impress viewers in the twenty-first century. In addition to his success in representing pagan mythological themes, his skill as a portrait painter also won him many prestigious commissions, while his renown as a painter of religious subjects resulted in the creation of high-profile altarpieces, as well as individual works for private patrons. This new monologue combines Peter Humfrey's scholarly yet accessible text with 200 beautiful reproductions of Titian's works, from oil paintings and frescos to preparatory drawings. Careful attention has been paid to the scale and quality of the images, allowing the works and their vivid colours to be shown in their true intensity. The book is a perfect introduction to the work of this original and influential Renaissance artist.

OWC Billy Budd, Sailor and Selected Tales
`Truth uncompromisingly told will always have its ragged edges.' So wrote Melville of Billy Budd, Sailor, among the greatest of his works and, in its richness and ambiguity, among the most problematic. As the critic E. L. Grant Watson writes, `In thi
s short history of the impressment and hanging of a handsome sailor-boy are to be discovered problems as profound as those which puzzle us in the pages of the Gospels.' Outwardly a compelling narrative of events aboard a British man-of-war during the
turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars, Billy Budd, Sailor is a nautical recasting of the Fall, a parable of good and evil, a meditation on justice and political governance, and a searching portrait of three extraordinary men. The passion it has aroused in
its readers over the years is a measure of how deeply it addresses some of the fundamental questions of experience that every age must reexamine for itself. The selection in this volume represents the best of Melville's shorter fiction, and uses the
most authoritative texts. The eight shorter tales included here were composed during Melville's years as a magazine writer in the mid 1850's and establish him, along with Hawthorne and Poe, as the greatest American story writer of his age. Several of
the tales - Bartleby the Scrivener, Benito Cereno, The Encantadas, The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids - are acknowledged masterpieces of their genres. All show Melville a master of irony, point-of-view, and tone whose fables ripple
out in nearly endless circles of meaning.

Britten Benjamin
Benjamin Britten (1913-76) was the greatest English composer of his time, and the first of his generation to enjoy a wide international reputation. With the great success of Peter Grimes (1945), he effectively re-invented English opera and was a pioneer of music for film and radio. His monumental War Requiem reached a wider audience than any other choral work of the century. He had an international reputation as a pianist and conductor and founded a major arts festival in Aldeburgh, the small East Coast town in which he made his home. For much of his life, however, British critics dismissed his music as merely 'clever', and some of his major works had disastrous premieres.In his twenties he considered emigrating to the USA, and lived there for over two years, but homesickness for the county of Suffolk drew him back and inspired some of his finest music. A pacifist and a homosexual, he was the subject of much malicious gossip, yet his sexuality and his political and social convictions directly or indirectly inspired much of his art. For the greater part of his creative life he lived with and enjoyed a uniquely creative partnership with the tenor Peter Pears, for whom most of his songs and principal roles in all his operas were written. In this masterly biography, the author creates a portrait of a great artist and discusses the contradictions of his quintessential Englishness and his world stature, his outsider status and his membership of the establishment, his artistic adventurousness and his constant regard for musical forms and traditions.

Heisenberg szeme
A távoli jövőben az emberiség merev kasztrendszerben él. A Földet eonok óta a halhatatlan optimberek irányítják. Hatalmuk korlátlan és megkérdőjelezhetetlen. Génsebészeti úton manipulált és a múlt felől tudatlanságban tartott közemberek végtelen milliói szolgálják őket. Az utódnemzésre csak a kiváltságos kevesek kapnak engedélyt, de még ők is csak elvétve produkálnak életképes utódot.

Potter tudja, hogy az életével játszik, mégis képtelen rá, hogy elpusztítsa a embriót, mely veszélybe sodorhatja az optimberek uralmát...

When Nothing Else Matters
For fans of Netflix's The Last Dance, this is the definitive account of Michael Jordan's spectacular and disastrous return to basketball.
As one of the greatest, most celebrated athletes in history, Michael Jordan conquered professional basketball as no one before. Powered by a potent mix of charisma, near superhuman abilities and a ferocious drive to dominate the game, he achieved every award and accolade conceivable before retiring from the Chicago Bulls and taking an executive post with the Washington Wizards. But retirement didn't suit the man who was once king, and at the advanced age of thirty-eight Michael Jordan decided it was time to reclaim the court that was once his.
Having closely followed Jordan's final two seasons, Michael Leahy draws a fascinating portrait of an intensely complex man hampered by injuries and assaulted by younger players eager to usurp his throne. In this enthralling book Jordan emerges as an ambitious, at times deeply unattractive character with, unsurprisingly, a monstrous ego. WHEN NOTHING ELSE MATTERS is an absorbing portrait not only of one athlete's overriding ambition, but also of a society so in thrall to its sports stars that it is blind to all their faults.

The Last Secret of the Secret Annex
The extraordinary, never-before-told story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex.
Bep was just twenty-three when the Franks went into hiding and she risked her life to protect them, plunging into Amsterdam's black market under the noses of German soldiers and Dutch spies to source food and medicine for the Annex. In those cramped quarters, Bep and Anne's friendship blossomed. As this book reveals, while she was sharing meals with Anne Frank, Bep's sister Nelly whose name was scrubbed from Anne's published diary was collaborating with the Nazis.
Written by Bep's own son, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex interweaves her story with Anne Frank's and Nelly's to show us the Secret Annex as we've never seen it before.
We follow Bep after the war as she struggles to build a life in the shadow of her past, unable to get over losing Anne nor put to rest the horrifying suspicion that she had been betrayed by her own flesh and blood.
Captivating and unsettlingly suspenseful, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex is a portrait of ordinary families caught between the victims and persecutors, in which collaborators and resisters often lived under the same roof. With a moving mother-son relationship at its heart, it explores how historical trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, and how sometimes keeping a secret hurts far more than revealing a shameful truth.
The Slow Road to Tehran
One woman, one bike and one richly entertaining, perception-altering journey of discovery.
In 2015, as the Syrian War raged and the refugee crisis reached its peak, Rebecca Lowe set off on her bicycle across the Middle East. Driven by a desire to learn more about this troubled region and its relationship with the West, Lowe's 11,000-kilometre journey took her through Europe to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, the Gulf and finally to Iran.
It was an odyssey through landscapes and history that captured her heart, but also a deeply challenging cycle across mountains, deserts and repressive police states that nearly defeated her. Plagued by punctures and battling temperatures ranging from -6 to 48C, Lowe was rescued frequently by farmers and refugees, villagers and urbanites alike, and relied almost entirely on the kindness and hospitality of locals to complete this living portrait of the modern Middle East.
This is her evocative, deeply researched and often very funny account of her travels - and the people, politics and culture she encountered

Dürer in Detail
- 2020 marks the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer's year - long journey to the Low Countries from 1520 to 1521
- Dürer is one of the most important artists of the Northern Renaissance
- Stunningly large close-up details reveal his paintings, drawings and graphic work as never before Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) is one of the most important and influential artists of the Northern Renaissance. He was a painter, printmaker and theorist and knew the major Italian artists of his time, such as Raphael, Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci. His enormous talent and skills as a draughtsman revealed themselves at a very young age: they can already be seen in the silverpoint Self-Portrait made in 1484 when he was barely 13 years old. Patronized from 1512 by the Emperor Maximilian I, Dürer realized numerous engravings, altarpieces, portrait and self-portraits, watercolors and books. His introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, secured his reputation as the most important figure of German Renaissance. Dürer in Detail reveals the work of the German master as never before, in breathtaking, full-page details. Till-Holger Borchert, German art historian and director of the Bruges Museums, describes Dürer's paintings, drawings and graphic masterpieces detail by detail, while offering original insights in clear and accessible language. The book is organized thematically and includes a biography, an annotated list of works and a suggested reading list.
