She cannot restrain herself, cannot hold it off any longer, cannot remain silent. Their groaning and moaning seem to be amplified in the quiet room, and when she moans louder, it is as though he does too.

Yama: The Pit
A novel about prostitution in Moscow.From the introduction:It must not be thought, despite its locale, that Kuprin’s “Yama” is a picture of Russian prostitution solely; it is intrinsically universal. All that is necessary is to change the kopecks into cents, pennies, sous or pfennings; compute the versts into miles or metres; Jennka may be Eugenie or Jeannette; and for Yama, simply read Whitechapel, Montmartre, or the Barbary Coast. That is why “Yama” is a “tremendous, staggering, and truthful book— a terrific book.” It has been called notorious, lurid— even oleographic. So are, perhaps, the picaresques of Murillo, the pictorial satires of Hogarth, the bizarreries of Goya...

Waits Tom - The Black Rider (2023 Remaster Edition) CD
Thomas Alan Waits (narodený 7. decembra 1949) je americký hudobník, skladateľ, skladateľ a herec. Jeho texty sa často zameriavajú na spodinu spoločnosti a sú prednesené jeho typickým hlbokým, štrkovitým hlasom. V 70. rokoch pôsobil predovšetkým v jazze, no jeho hudba od 80. rokov odrážala väčší vplyv blues, rock, vaudeville a experimentálne žánre. Napriek nedostatku mainstreamového komerčného úspechu Waits ovplyvnil mnohých hudobníkov a získal si medzinárodný kult a bolo o ňom napísaných niekoľko biografií. V roku 2015 sa umiestnil na 55. mieste v rebríčku "100 najlepších skladateľov všetkých čias" časopisu Rolling Stone. V roku 2011 ho uviedli do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.
"The Black Rider" je dvanásty štúdiový album, vydaný v roku 1993 na Island Records, obsahuje štúdiové verzie piesní, ktoré Waits napísal pre hru The Black Rider, ktorú režíroval Robert Wilson a na ktorej sa podieľal William S. Burroughs. Hra vychádza z nemeckej ľudovej rozprávky Der Freischütz od Johanna Augusta Apela, ktorú predtým spracoval do opery Carl Maria von Weber. Hra mala premiéru 31. marca 1990 v divadle Thalia v nemeckom Hamburgu. Jeho svetová premiéra v anglickom jazyku sa odohrala v roku 1998 na medzinárodnom festivale v Edmontone. Album bol remastrovaný Chrisom Bellmanom v Bernie Grundman Mastering z pôvodnej master pásky osobne pod dohľadom Toma Waitsa a Kathleen Brennan.

The Nation of Plants
As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents. They have been on the planet for only about 300,000 years ago (nothing compared to the three billon years of plant evolution), yet have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. It's time for the plants to offer advice. In this playful, philosophical manifesto, Stefano Mancuso, expert on plant intelligence, presents a new constitution on which to build our future as beings respectful of the Earth and its inhabitants. These eight articles - the fundamental pillars on which plant life is based - must henceforth regulate all living beings.

The Chestermarke Instinct
Excerpt:"Every Monday morning, when the clock of the old parish church in Scarnham Market-Place struck eight, Wallington Neale asked himself why on earth he had chosen to be a bank clerk. On all the other mornings of the week this question never occurred to him: on Sunday he never allowed a thought of the bank to cross his mind: from Sunday to Saturday he was firmly settled in the usual rut, and never dreamed of tearing himself out of it. But Sunday's break was unsettling: there was always an effort in starting afresh on Monday. The striking of St. Alkmund's clock at eight on Monday morning invariably found him sitting down to his breakfast in his rooms, overlooking the quaint old Market-Place, once more faced by the fact that a week of dull, uninteresting work lay before him. He would go to the bank at nine, and at the bank he would remain, more or less, until five. He would do that again on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, and on Thursday and on Friday, and on Saturday. One afternoon, strolling in the adjacent country, he had seen a horse walking round and round and round in a small paddock, turning a crank which worked some machine or other in an adjoining shed: that horse had somehow suggested himself to himself."

The Drawings of Vincent van Gogh
The Drawings of Vincent van GoghArranging by theme, from drawings of humble harvesters to beautifully rendered depictions of landscapes, pensive life studies to memorable sketches of the famous Yellow House, eminent art historian Christopher Lloyd encourages readers to consider the artist’s drawings from a fresh viewpoint: documenting successes and failures, experiments, trials, and disappointments.
Primarily self-taught, Van Gogh’s approach to drawing was instinctual, but he soon recognized the importance of mastering the grammar of art, as well as materials and techniques, in order to expresshis emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible. With examples from the artist’s voluminous and highly charged family correspondence, sketchbooks, and comparative artworks, this engaging study outlines why drawing is central to Van Gogh’s oeuvre, and equal to the intensity and reputation of his paintings.
Featuring works from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and many other important collections in Europe and the United States, this beautifully illustrated volume offers an extensive interpretation of the artist’s drawings, beyond what has been published to date.
