Frida Kahlo Painter and her Work
"I was considered a Surrealist. That is not right. I never painted dreams. What I depicted, was my reality." Our book zooms right into this reality, and it does so in a new and unusual way: presenting Frida Kahlo's paintings in a general view and in selected details, it reveals the wealth of stories and creatures hidden in her self-portraits; it makes tangible the life-long physical and spiritual pain endured by the artist; and it illustrates painterly skills and techniques reminiscent of old European masters. Making visible what tends to escape one's notice in her seemingly familiar paintings, this lavish volume takes even inveterate Kahlo fans on a mesmerizing discovery trip to the sensuousness, the beauty, and the abysses of her world. This monograph presents Frida Kahlo's life and work in pictures. Frida Kahlo expert Helga Prignitz-Poda provides elaborate background information on each of the paintings.

Wagstaff: Before and After Mapplethorpe: A Biography
Sam Wagstaff, the legendary curator, collector, and patron of the arts, emerges as a cultural visionary in this groundbreaking biography. Even today remembered primarily as the mentor and lover of Robert Mapplethorpe, the once infamous photographer, Wagstaff, in fact, had an incalculable-and largely overlooked-influence on the world of contemporary art and photography, and on the evolution of gay identity in the latter part of the twentieth century. Born in New York City in 1921 into a notable family, Wagstaff followed an arc that was typical of a young man of his class. He attended both Hotchkiss and Yale, served in the navy, and would follow in step with his Ivy League classmates to the "gentleman's profession," as an ad executive on Madison Avenue. With his unmistakably good looks, he projected an aura of glamour and was cited by newspapers as one of the most eligible bachelors of the late 1940s. Such accounts proved deceiving, for Wagstaff was forced to live in the closet, his homosexuality only revealed to a small circle of friends. Increasingly uncomfortable with his career and this double life, he abandoned advertising, turned to the formal study of art history, and embarked on a radical personal transformation that was in perfect harmony with the tumultuous social, cultural, and sexual upheavals of the 1960s. Accordingly, Wagstaff became a curator, in 1961, at Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum, where he mounted both "Black, White, and Gray"-the first museum show of minimal art-and the sculptor Tony Smith's first museum show, while lending his early support to artists Andy Warhol, Ray Johnson, and Richard Tuttle, among many others. Later, as a curator at the Detroit Institute of Arts, he brought the avant-garde to a regional museum, offending its more staid trustees in the process. After returning to New York City in 1972, the fifty-year-old Wagstaff met the twenty-five-year-old Queens-born Robert Mapplethorpe, then living with Patti Smith. What at first appeared to be a sexual dalliance became their now historic lifelong romance, in which Mapplethorpe would foster Wagstaff's own burgeoning interest in contemporary photography and Wagstaff would help secure Mapplethorpe's reputation in the art world. In spite of their profound class differences, the artistic union between the philanthropically inclined Wagstaff and the prodigiously talented Mapplethorpe would rival that of Stieglitz and O'Keefe, or Rivera and Kahlo, in their ability to help reshape contemporary art history. Positioning Wagstaff's personal life against the rise of photography as a major art form and the simultaneous formation of the gay rights movement, Philip Gefter's absorbing biography provides a searing portrait of New York just before and during the age of AIDS. The result is a definitive and memorable portrait of a man and an era.

Lacná kniha Heracles and Other Plays (-90%)
Alcestis * Heracles * Children of Heracles * Cyclops Euripides wrote about timeless themes, of friendship and enmity, hope and despair, duty and betrayal. The first three plays in this volume are filled with violence or its threat, while the fourth, Cyclops, is our only surviving example of a genuine satyr play, with all the crude and slapstick humour that characterized the genre. There is death in Alcestis, which explores the marital relationship of Alcestis and Admetus with pathos and grim humour, but whose status as tragedy is subverted by a happy ending. The blood-soaked Heracles portrays deep emotional pain and undeserved suffering; its demand for a more humanistic ethics in the face of divine indifference and callousness makes it one of Euripides' more popular and profound plays. Children of Heracles is a rich and complex work, famous for its dialogues and monologues, in which the effects of war on refugees and the consequences of sheltering them are movingly explored. In Cyclops Euripides takes the familiar story of Odysseus' escape from the Cyclops Polyphemus and turns it to hilarious comic effect. Euripides' other plays are all available in Oxford World's Classics.

The Open Society and Its Enemies
Written in political exile during the Second World War and first published in 1945, Karl Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies is one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. Hailed by Bertrand Russell as a 'vigorous and profound defence of democracy', its now legendary attack on the philosophies of Plato, Hegel and Marx exposed the dangers inherent in centrally planned political systems. Popper's highly accessible style, his erudite and lucid explanations of the thought of great philosophers and the recent resurgence of totalitarian regimes around the world are just three of the reasons for the enduring popularity ofThe Open Society and Its Enemies, and for why it demands to be read both today and in years to come.This is the first of two volumes of The Open Society and Its Enemies.

Az én alapszakácskönyvem
"Receptkönyvek kategóriájában tán a legnagyobb kihívás egy jó alapszakácskönyv készítése. Nem feltétlenül a receptek mennyisége miatt, inkább átérezve a felelősséget, hogy lesznek, akiknek hosszú időre ez válik háztartásában a meghatározó szakácskönyvvé. Így nemcsak a recepteknek kell tökéleteseknek lenniük, hogy öröm legyen a főzés és az evés, de egyfajta irányt is sugallniuk kell, hisz étkezésünk egészségünkre is kihat.
Azt szeretném, ha ezek után az én alapszakácskönyvemet mindenki a magáénak érezné, s ha bárki megkérdezné, honnan van ez a kitűnő recept, csak annyi lenne a válasz: Az én alapszakácskönyvemből!" (A szerző)

Volanie Číny
Kniha Volanie Číny je osobnou výpoveďou jezuitského kňaza z jeho misijnej skúsenosti v čínsky hovoriacom svete: najskôr super moderný Hongkong a kúsok Európy na brehu Číny v meste Macau, neskôr práca s hendikepovanými deťmi na Taiwane a nakoniec nezabudnuteľná kontinentálna Čína. Prechádzajúc týmto svetom, autor si uvedomuje, že Čína dnes vo svete predstavuje jedinečný fenomén, ktorý rezonuje čoraz viac vo všetkých sférach života spoločnosti. Čína sa v súčasnosti pre mnohých stáva nezvyčajnou výzvou i tajomným volaním. Okrem skúseností prežitých vo svete Ďalekého východu a stručnej histórie pôsobenia jezuitov v tejto časti sveta sa autor podelil aj o veľmi osobnú skúsenosť, ktorú prežil v rámci procesu rozlišovania o povolaní na misie do Číny. Keďže sa v tomto procese rozlišovania a rozhodovania nechal viesť svätým Ignácom z Loyoly, skutočným majstrom duchovného rozlišovania, návody pretavené autorovou osobnou skúsenosťou sa môžu stať vzácnymi pre každého, kto stojí pred akýmkoľvek vážnym životným rozhodnutím. Obsahuje 16-stranovú farebnú obrazovú prílohu.
