The History of Sexuality: 2: The Use of Pleasure
The second volume of Michel Foucault's pioneering analysis of the changing nature of desire explores how sexuality was perceived in classical Greek culture.
From the stranger byways of Greek medicine (with its advice on the healthiest season for sex, as well as exercise and diet) to the role of women, The Use of Pleasure is full of extraordinary insights into the differences - and the continuities - between the Ancient, Christian and Modern worlds, showing how sex became a moral issue in the west.

The Tablet of Destinies
A beguiling new reimagining of one of the most ancient and mysterious origin myths of human civilization
'The Flood didn't come suddenly as a big surprise. It came at the end of a long, tormented story. Men just went on multiplying and the noise they made was ever more irksome . . . I remember days of desperation.'
A long time ago, the gods grew tired of humans and decided to send a flood to destroy them. But Ea, the god of fresh underground water, didn't agree. He advised one of his devotees, Utnapishtim, to build a quadrangular boat to house humans and animals, and saved these living creatures from the Flood.
Rather than punish Utnapishtim for his disobedience, Enlil, King of the gods, granted the mortal eternal life and banished him to the island of Dilmun. Thousands of years later, when Sinbad the Sailor is shipwrecked and arrives on that very same island, the two begin a conversation about courage, loss, salvation and sacrifice.
Following Calasso's masterful retelling of ancient Greek myths in The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony and Indic myths in Ka, this richly imaginative work delves into the crucible of our collective consciousness to reimagine the origin stories of one of the earliest human civilizations.

"Her fingers itch, and she can't wait any longer, she traces the contour of her vagina. In a circular movement, she lets her hands get closer and closer to her core. Lets her fingers wander over her labia. Light as a feather, she strokes herself as her labia grows bigger and bigger and spreads wider and wider.

The Riddles of Ukiyo-e
- This book sheds light on the often mysterious iconography in Japanese prints
- Lavishly illustrated with over 130 prints of women and men, from the heyday of Japanese printmaking
- A passionate introduction to the intriguing art of Ukiyo-e
Women and men – strong, proud, tragic or beautiful – from the heyday (1765–1865) of Japanese printmaking are this book's subject. It seeks to dig below the surface of the prints to describe the often subtle iconography employed in these masterful creations by the most famous artists of their time. It begins with Suzuki Harunobu's subdued and introverted scenes of women seated on verandas. The book then moves on to the spectacular ‘big face' (okubi-e) portraits of prostitutes and Kabuki actors by artists like Kitagawa Utamaro, Toshusai Sharaku and Utagawa Kunimasa. Frail ‘streetwalkers', forced by circumstance into the lowest ranks of prostitution, are transformed into elegant beauties, obscuring their tragic existence. The spectacle of heroes from Japan's rich mythological and pseudo-historical past crowd the printed sheet. Stern-faced actors drawn by the confident hands of Utagawa Toyokuni and his pupil Kunisada demonstrate the economy of line and powerful expression of the woodblock medium. Each print is explored in the finest detail in order to explain the riddles of Ukiyo-e: the intriguing and captivating mode of visual expression that would have such a profound influence on Western art.

Royal Blood - Back To The Water Below CD
KDO: Jedno z nejskloňovanějších jmen současné kytarové scény. Mike Kerr a Ben Thatcher pocházejí z anglického Brightonu. Podobně jako třeba White Stripes nebo The Black Keys hudebně vycházejí z dřevního blues rocku, kritika v souvislosti s nimi nejčastěji používá termín modern garage rock. Royal Blood hrají ve velmi úsporném a unikátním nástrojovém obsazení baskytara a bící. Nepoužívají žádné přednatočené pásky nebo mašinky, přesto dokáží s pomocí pedálových efektů vytvořit plný a opravdu hutný zvuk.
CO: Back to the Water Below je nadcházející čtvrté studiové album anglického rockového dua Royal Blood. Vyjde 1. září 2023 u Warner Records. Album bylo produkováno samotnou skupinou, přičemž většinu svého předchozího alba si produkovali sami.
