Nielsen, East of the Sun
Step into a world of star-crossed lovers, magical winds, mischievous giants, and trolls, through some of the most exquisite illustrations in publishing history. In this gorgeous abridged edition, TASCHEN revives the most ambitious publication project of beloved Danish artist Kay Nielsen, one of the most famous children’s book illustrators of all time.
First published in 1914, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a celebrated collection of fairy tales gathered by legendary Norwegian folklorists Peter Christen Asbjornsen and Jorgen Engebretsen Moe on their journeys across Norway in the mid-19th century. Nielsen’s illustration edition of Asbjornsen and Moe’s tales is considered a jewel of early 20th-century children's literature, highly sought-after by art and book collectors worldwide. An original signed copy of the book sold at auction in 2008 commanded the highest price ever paid for an illustrated children’s book.
This finely crafted volume presents 10 of the original fairytales, and restores the stunning detail and artistry of Nielsen’s images to their original splendor. Featuring 41 illustrations, including many enlarged details from Nielsen’s rare original watercolors. The book comes with three accompanying essays, illustrated with dozens of rare and previously unseen artworks by Nielsen, that explore the history of Norwegian folktales, Nielsen’s life and work, and how this masterpiece came to be.

Midway Upon the Journey of Our Life
„Kde život náš je v půli se svou poutí“ je úvodním veršem z Pekla Danteho Božské komedie, název se tak již v úvodu staví do trpkého kontrastu k československé realitě 50. let. Autobiografická próza Josefa Jedličky je svědectvím člověka o současnosti zítřků, který svými břitkými pozorovacími schopnostmi odhaluje tragikomický svět stalinské éry. Jednotlivé epizody každodennosti i dějinných zvratů do sebe postupně zapadají a tvoří osobitou koláž, ve které se vzájemně prostupují časová pásma a roviny – vzájemně koexistují dobové záznamy (vystoupení Klementa Gottwalda na Staroměstském náměstí), ale také střípky ze života autora (přestěhování do Litvínova, život v koldomě ad.) nebo meditativní úvahy. Svědectví doby je podtrženo poetickým jazykem, který nepostrádá drsnou a aktuální věcnost – dosud platné spojitosti a vztahy se přeměňují, čímž se otevírá prostor volným asociacím i svébytné ironii. Jde tak o filozofickou reflexi prostoupenou literárními reminiscencemi a asociacemi, která navazuje na literární tradice předešlých desetiletí.

The Husky and His White Cat Shizun 1. - A Husky és az ő fehér macska mestere 1.
A The Untamed alapjául szolgáló regény rajongóinak
Epikus történelmi fantasy egy második esélyt kapott zsarnokról és hatalmas mesteréről, akit csak nem tud kiverni a fejéből.
Mo Ran ellenfelein keresztülgázolva válik a világ császárává, de kegyetlen uralmában sem lel kielégülést. A legnagyobb veszteséggel szembesülve öngyilkos lesz...
Saját tizenhatéves testében ébred fel, évekkel azelőtt, hogy nekikezdett volna véres hódításainak. A Shisheng csúcs kultivátor szekta ifjú tanítványaként Mo Ran másodszor is leélheti az életét.
Megesküszik, hogy ezúttal nem fogja elkerülni az öröm és boldogság, és senki sem fogja megalázni!
Vad szenvedély ébred benne mestere, a jóképű, de hűvös Chu Wanning iránt, és érzelmeit még az utóbbi macskához méltó távolságtartása sem enyhíti.
Bár Mo Rant csak az érdekli, hogy elérje a céljait, kétségek közt őrlődik, és már maga sem tudja, hogy mit kezdjen a tanára és saját érzéseivel.

Collateral Damage: Britain, America And Europe In The Age Of Trump
One of the UK's most experienced and respected diplomats reveals the inside story behind his resignation—and his perspective on the challenges of Brexit and the Trump White House.
"@realDonaldTrump: The wacky ambassador that the UK foisted on the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy . . . We will no longer deal with him."
Kim Darroch is one of the UK's most experienced and respected diplomats, and this unvarnished, behind-the-scenes account will reveal the inside story behind his resignation; describe the challenges of dealing with the Trump White House; and offer a diplomat's perspective on Brexit, and how it looked to Britain's closest ally.
Darroch was the British Ambassador to the US as the age of Trump dawned and Brexit unfolded. He explains why the British embassy expected a Trump victory from as early as February 2016, what part every key figure—from Steve Bannon to Sarah Sanders—has played in Trump's administration, and what balanced policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic should consider during this era of seismic change and populist politics.
A riveting account from the best-informed insider, Collateral Damage charts the strangest and most convulsive period in the recent history of Britain and the US—and shows how thirty months threatened to overturn three centuries of history.

Civilization of the Ancient
Civilizations of the Ancient World offers a uniquely visual approach to exploring the cultures of the key civilizations of ancient times. By combining historic engravings with a modern commentary that is at once authoritative and accessible, it creates both a visual celebration and invaluable reference for all students of early history. The main section of the book focuses on ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Rome and Greece, offering a detailed exposition of each in turn through thematic spreads depicting many aspects of their cultures. Government, society, war, religion, work, leisure, shelter, food, costume and daily life are all unveiled in vivid detail through carefully designed compositions of both coloured and monotone engravings. A second section features timelines, maps and overviews of the other key civilizations that were flourishing throughout the world at that time. Thus the reader is offered both a close-up view of the four major peoples who hold an endless fascination for modern readers, plus a broader panorama of the global cultures that shaped the ancient world.

Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century: Inequality and Redistribution, 1901-1998
A landmark in contemporary social science, this pioneering work by Thomas Piketty explains the facts and dynamics of income inequality in France in the twentieth century. On its publication in French in 2001, it helped launch the international program led by Piketty and others to explore the grand patterns and causes of global inequality?research that has since transformed public debate. Appearing here in English for the first time, this stunning achievement will take its place alongside Capital in the Twenty-First Century as a modern classic of economic analysis.
Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century is essential in part because of Piketty’s unprecedented efforts to uncover, untangle, and present in clear form data about patterns in tax and inheritance in France dating back to 1900. But it is also an exceptional work of analysis, tracking and explaining with Piketty’s characteristically lucid prose the effects of political conflict, war, and social change on the economic pressures and public policies that determined the lives of millions. A work of unusual intellectual power and ambition, Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century is a vital resource for anyone concerned with the economic, political, and social history of France, and it is central to ongoing debates about social justice, inequality, taxation, and the evolution of capitalism around the world.
