The Ruin of Kasch
A sparkling new translation of the classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and artThe Ruin of Kasch takes up two subjects: "the first is Talleyrand, and the second is everything else," wrote Italo Calvino when the book first appeared in 1983. Hailed as one of those rare books that persuade us to see our entire civilization in a new light, its guide is the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, who knew the secrets of the ancien regime and all that came after, and was able to adapt the notion of "legitimacy" to the modern age. Roberto Calasso follows him through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, making occasional forays backward and forward in time, from Vedic India to the porticoes of the Palais-Royal and to the killing fields of Pol Pot, with appearances by Goethe and Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Marx, Walter Benjamin and Chateaubriand.
At the centre stands the story of the ruin of Kasch, a legendary kingdom based on the ritual killing of the king and emblematic of the ruin of ancient and modern regimes.'Startling, puzzling, profound . . .
a work charged with intelligence and literary seduction' The New York Times'Unique, idiosyncratic and vaultingly ambitious... essential reading' Independent'A great fat jewel-box of a book, gleaming with obscure treasures' John Banville

Hapka Petr - Zlatá kolekce 3CD
To nejlepší z Hapkových písniček, natočených za téměř padesát let! Šedesátka skladeb je na jednotlivých discích rozdělena do neformálních chronologických bloků Malé písně, V penziónu Svět a Štěstí je krásná věc. Zásadní interpretkou je Hana Hegerová, přítomná ve všech tvůrčích obdobích skladatele, klavíristy, kapelníka a příležitostného zpěváka Petra Hapky, který však spolupracoval i s řadou dalších. Karel Gott, Waldemar Matuška, Václav Neckář, Milan Chladil, Naďa Urbánková nebo Eva Pilarová patří spíše do let šedesátých, byť s pozdějšími občasnými návraty. Milan Drobný, Karel Zich, Hana Zagorová, Marie Rottrová, Jiří Korn nebo Karel Černoch se přidali v těch sedmdesátých. Michael Kocáb, Richard Müller, Lucie Bílá, Jana Kirschner, Jarda Svoboda, František Segrado, Szidi Tobias, Jaromír Nohavica nebo Vojtěch Dyk pak patří k nejsoučasnějším studiovým nebo pódiovým projektům, především těch s textařem Michalem Horáčkem. Žánrovou šíři tvorby skvělého melodika Petra Hapky doplňují i filmové melodie, v tomto výběru zastupované například snímky Léto s kovbojem, Panna a netvor, Krakonoš a lyžníci nebo Tisícročná včela. Toto trojcédéčko přináší velkou porci velkých hitů, nabízí však také vydáváním méně frekventované, ale rovněž velmi zajímavé a kvalitní nahrávky. Také zásluhou početných licencí je to písňová sestava s možným označením za definitivní – a navíc dramaturgicky sestavená tak, že skvěle poslouchatelná. Petr Hapka už bohužel žádné nové melodie nenapíše, ale tenhle výběr v exkluzivní supraphonské Zlaté kolekci ho skvěle připomíná.
Největší hity, překvapivé songy i filmové melodie z let 1964–2012!

Leonardo
For the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci, this updated edition of our XL title provides the most comprehensive survey of the life and work of the master painter, sculptor, architect, and inventor. The catalogue raisonnéof paintings covers both surviving and lost works, while full-bleed detailsallow us to inspect even the subtlest brushstrokes that came to revolutionize art history.
Unmatched in his ingenuity, technical prowess, and curiosity, Leonardo da Vinci(1452–1519) epitomizes the humanistic ideal of the Renaissance man: a peerless master of painting, sculpture, cartography, anatomy, architecture—and more. Simultaneously captivating art historians, collectors, and the millions who flock yearly to admire his works, Leonardo’s appeal is as diffuse as were his preoccupations. His images permeate nearly every facet of Western culture—The Vitruvian Manis engraved into millions of Euro coins, The Last Supperis considered the single most reproduced religious painting in history, and the Mona Lisahas entranced countless artists and observers for centuries.
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death, this updated edition of our XL title is an unrivaled survey of Leonardo’s life and work, including a catalogue raisonné encompassing both his surviving and lost paintings. Through stunning full-bleed details, we experience every measured brushstroke, each a testament to Leonardo’s masterful ability.
An expansive catalog of nearly 700 of Leonardo’s drawingsfurther illuminates the breadth of his pursuits. From diagrams of intricately engineered machines to portraits of plump infants, they stand reflective of his boundless and visionary technical imagination, balanced with a subtle and perceptive hand, capable of rendering quotidian moments with moving emotional timbre.
Also included is a new forewordby Frank Zöllner, expanded exclusively for this special edition, which dissects the latest scientific developments on Leonardo’s work and the story behind the haunting Salvator Mundi, which recently fetched a record-breaking $ 450 million at auction.

He has published numerous works on Renaissance art and art theory, and on 20th-century art. Since 1996 he has been Professor of Medieval and Modern Art at the University of Leipzig. For TASCHEN he has authored the XL monographs on Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette's dramatic life-story continues to arouse mixed emotions. To many people, she is still 'la reine méchante', whose extravagance and frivolity helped to bring down the French monarchy; her indifference to popular suffering epitomised by the (apocryphal) words: 'let them eat cake'. Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny.
In this biography Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI, the accusations and sexual slurs made against her, her patronage of the arts which enhanced French cultural life, her imprisonment, the death threats made against her, rumours of lesbian affairs, her trial (during which her young son was forced to testify to sexual abuse by his mother) and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination
This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly unsolvable mysteries. 'The Tell-Tale Heart' and 'The Fall of the House of Usher' are key works in the horror canon, while in the 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' and 'The Mystery of Marie Roget' we find the origins of modern detective fiction. Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe's prose work before his premature death in 1849.
This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagination feature With an afterword by Jonty Claypole.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
