Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského / The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský
Kniha Klavírní myšlení Ivana Klánského představuje čtenářům významnou osobnost současného pianistického umění, prof. Ivana Klánského. Pojednává o jeho tvůrčím a pedagogickém zrání, životní cestě od jeho prvních klavírních krůčků přes studia na konzervatoři a AMU v Praze až po jeho rozsáhlou pedagogickou praxi. Zachycuje jeho začátky v roli klavírního pedagoga a postupné utváření svébytné, osobité metodiky, kterou mimořádně úspěšně uplatňuje ve své pedagogické praxi. Tato metodika je čtenáři přiblížena prostřednictvím myšlenkového vnímání hudby Ivanem Klánským a je vyjádřením jeho estetických a etických postojů v oblasti interpretačního umění. První kapitoly jsou věnovány životní dráze a stěžejním pilířům jeho klavírní metodiky, jakými se jeví diagnostika výkonu interpreta, práce klavíristy s časem a zvukem, fyzicko-technické zákonitosti klavírní hry. Přibližují i nejoriginálnější součásti jeho pedagogicko-metodického systému, kterými se stala impulzová metoda a metodický princip rozčleňování interpretace na horizontálně nebo vertikálně hudebně zpracované plochy. Další kapitoly rozebírají názory a pohledy Ivana Klánského na interpretaci hudby jednotlivých hudebněhistorických období od 17. do 20. století.
The book The Piano Thinking of Ivan Klánský introduces readers to the life and work of an eminent proponent of contemporary piano-playing interpretation and pedagogy prof. Ivan Klánský. It deals with his creative and pedagogical development from his first musical accomplishments through studies at the Conservatoire and Academy of Performing Arts in Prague up to his extensive pedagogical practice. It also covers his early pedagogical experiences and the gradual formation of his specific piano-teaching method which he has been applying successfully throughout his entire career. This method is being explored through the prism of Klánskýs intellectual perception of music and represents an expression of his aesthetic and ethical attitudes in the area of interpretative art. The first chapters are devoted to his career and to the key points of the methodology of his piano lessons, including the diagnosis of the players potential for appropriate achievement, his or her implementation of sound and timing issues, and the physiological and practical rules of piano technique and practice. We also present the most innovative parts of his teaching method, i.e. the impulse method focused on the range of touch and tone production, also progression in horizontal and vertical playing. The closing parts explore Klánskýs views on the interpretation of music in performance throughout particular historical periods, from the 17th to the 20th centuries.

The Rebel and the Kingdom
The wild story of a college activist's high-stakes attempt to topple the North Korean regime and change the world.
In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety.
Meanwhile, Hong's secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government's activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong Un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong Nam, the dictator's older brother, Hong, along with Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Nam's family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid-an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world's most unlikely fugitives.
In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo-to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope-who broke numerous details of Hong's operations in The Wall Street Journal-now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world's most mysterious and unsettling nation.

And when Spanish explorers landed on his shore to seek their fortunes, nothing would ever be the same again...

The Librarian of Auschwitz: The Graphic Novel
The Librarian of Auschwitz is ideal for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice, this graphic novel is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. Based on a true story, it is an extraordinary novel of courage and hope by Antonio Iturbe and Loreto Aroca.
'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns . . .'
Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezin ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the 'living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be 'borrowed' to educate the children in the camp.
But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor . . .
Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.
The Facemaker
The poignant story of the visionary surgeon who rebuilt the faces of the First World War's injured heroes, and in the process ushered in the modern era of plastic surgery
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind's military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. The war's new weaponry, from tanks to shrapnel, enabled slaughter on an industrial scale, and given the nature of trench warfare, thousands of soldiers sustained facial injuries. Medical advances meant that more survived their wounds than ever before, yet disfigured soldiers did not receive the hero's welcome they deserved.
In The Facemaker, award-winning historian Lindsey Fitzharris tells the astonishing story of the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies, who dedicated himself to restoring the faces - and the identities - of a brutalized generation. Gillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, became interested in the nascent field of plastic surgery after encountering the human wreckage on the front. Returning to Britain, he established one of the world's first hospitals dedicated entirely to facial reconstruction in Sidcup, south-east England. There, Gillies assembled a unique group of doctors, nurses and artists whose task was to recreate what had been torn apart. At a time when losing a limb made a soldier a hero, but losing a face made him a monster to a society largely intolerant of disfigurement, Gillies restored not just the faces of the wounded but also their spirits.
Meticulously researched and grippingly told, The Facemaker places Gillies's ingenious surgical innovations alongside the poignant stories of soldiers whose lives were wrecked and repaired. The result is a vivid account of how medicine and art can merge, and of what courage and imagination can accomplish in the presence of relentless horror.

Za hranice fotografie. Beyond photography
Eva Heyd je profesionální fotografka, novinářka, spisovatelska a kurátorka. Především je však výtvarnice, která pracuje a experimentuje s fotografickým obrazem. Tato kniha představuje reminiscenci její více než čtyřicetileté tvorby, jež zahrnuje klasické fotografie, fotomontáže, koláže i trojrozměrné objekty.
Výtvarné aktivity autorky byly zásadně ovlivněny její emigrací do USA v polovině osmdesátých let. Zatímco její raná česká díla nepřesahují rámec klasické černobílé fotografie, v New Yorku, kde žila dvacet let, začíná experimentovat s daným médiem a překračuje jeho hranice.
The Making of the Modern Middle East
Jeremy Bowen, the International Editor of the BBC, has been covering the Middle East since 1989 and is uniquely placed to explain its complex past and its troubled present.
In The Making of the Modern Middle East – in part based on his acclaimed podcast, ‘Our Man in the Middle East’ – Bowen takes us on a journey across the Middle East and through its history. He meets ordinary men and women on the front line, their leaders, whether brutal or benign, and he explores the power games that have so often wreaked devastation on civilian populations as those leaders, whatever their motives, jostle for political, religious and economic control.
With his deep understanding of the political, cultural and religious differences between countries as diverse as Erdogan’s Turkey, Assad’s Syria and Netanyahu’s Israel and his long experience of covering events in the region, Bowen offers readers a gripping and invaluable guide to the modern Middle East, how it came to be and what its future might hold.

Theodor Pištěk, Jan Pištěk - Dva světy / Two Worlds
Kniha zachycuje jedinečné setkání Theodora a Jana Pištěka, otce a syna, dvou vynikajících malířů, kteří se představili v roce 2022 na přehlídce Dva světy v pražské Galerii Villa Pellé.
Šlo o významnou událost: přes nejužší příbuzenskou vazbu totiž společně nikdy nevystavovali.
Theodor je klíčovou osobností hyperrealistického malířství a jeho tvorba kostýmního návrháře mu přinesla světové uznání.
Jan zaujímá důležité postavení v postmoderní generaci, jež vstoupila na uměleckou scénu na přelomu osmdesátých a devadesátých 20. století.
Každý má svůj nezaměnitelný styl vycházející z osobitého vidění skutečnosti a oba jsou perfekcionisti.
Kniha přibližuje úctyhodné rodinné kořeny, ukazuje všechny vystavené obrazy a plastiky a zároveň pro budoucnosti uchovává podobu přehlídky, jež měla mimořádný divácký ohlas.
Soundtrack - Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker CD
„John opět přišel s naprosto dechberoucím soundtrackem a vytvořil úchvatné, děsivé, záhadné i intimní melodie, a zároveň vytvořil i nové aranže svých dobře známých klasických melodií,” přibližuje režisér Star Wars J. J. Abrams. „George Lucas mi dal jedinečnou příležitost pracovat na jednom projektu nepřetržitě po čtyři dekády, a za to jsem mu nesmírně vděčný. Ke každému filmu jsem mohl vytvořit unikátní hudbu, která dohromady tvoří jeden kompaktní celek,” doplňuje Williams.
Případ levného bytu - The Adventure of the Cheap Flat
Pokud se něco zdá být příliš výhodné, než aby to byla pravda, je to přinejmenším podivné. Když si manželé Robinsonovi pronajmou byt v londýnské čtvrti Knightsbridge za čtvrtinu obvyklé ceny, vzbudí to pozornost kapitána Hastingse, který případ levného bytu předá k vyřešení svému příteli Herculu Poirotovi. V povídce Záhada lovecké chaty brání Herculu Poirotovi chřipka zúčastnit se vyšetřování případu. Dokáže ovšem sám Hastings zjistit, proč cizinec, který navštívil pana Pace před jeho zavražděním, odešel oknem? V povídce Cikánka má Dickie Carpenter fóbii z cikánů, vyplývající z tajemného prožitku z dětství. Má se nového setkání znovu obávat, nebo může být tentokrát jeho spásou? V poslední povídce Lampa s tajemným nádechem slyší malý chlapec v bytě, kam se se svojí matkou právě nastěhoval, záhadné kroky a hlasy jiného chlapce. Mohou jeho vjemy souviset s osudy bývalých nájemníků?
