Misere
The coming of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century witnessed unprecedented changes in society: rapid economic progress went hand-in-hand with appalling working conditions, displacement, squalor and destitution for those at the bottom of the social scale. These new circumstances presented a challenge to contemporary image-makers, who wished to capture the effects of hunger, poverty and alienation in Britain, Ireland and France in the era before documentary photography. In this groundbreaking book, the eminent art historian Linda Nochlin examines the styles and expressive strategies that were used by artists and illustrators to capture this misere, roughly characterized as poverty that afflicts both body and soul. She investigates images of the Irish Famine in the period 1846–51; the gendered representation of misery, particularly of poor women and prostitutes; and the work of three very different artists: Théodore Géricault, Gustave Courbet and the less wellknown Fernand Pelez. The artists’ desire to depict the poor and the outcast accurately and convincingly is still a pertinent issue, though now, as Nochlin observes, the question has a moral and ethical dimension – does the documentary style belittle its subjects and degrade their condition?

Noir
Due to the technological advances of the nineteenth century, an abundance of black drawing media exploded onto the market. Charcoal, conte crayon, and fabricated black chalks and crayons; fixatives; various papers; and many lifting devices gave rise to an unprecedented amount of experimentation. Indeed, innovation became the rule, as artists developed their own unique-and often experimental-processes. The exploration of black media in drawing is inextricably bound up with the exploration of black in prints, and this volume presents an integrated study that rises above specialization in one over the other. This richly illustrated catalogue brings together such diverse artists as Francisco de Goya, Maxime Lalanne, Gustave Courbet, Odilon Redon, and Georges Seurat and explores their inventive works on paper. Sidelining labels like "conservative" or "avant-garde," the essays in this book employ all the tools that art history and modern conservation have given us, inviting the reader to look more broadly at the artists' methods and materials. This volume accompanies an exhibition of the same name on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from February 9 to May 15, 2016.

Tři ženy v Indii
Indii, zemi pro Evropany dosud exotickou, si v poslední době oblíbilo množství českých cestovatelů toužících po nevšedních zážitcích. Autorky tohoto cestopisu jsou cestovatelky zkušené, které si Indii zamilovaly, hodně toho o ní vědí a umějí o tom vyprávět. V knize živou a vtipnou formou popisují svou cestu po jihozápadní Indii (Bombaj, Góa, Karnátaka, Maháráštra), kterou ve třech podnikly v lednu až únoru 2005. J. Jůzlová a M. Hanelová, které jsou autorkami textu, Indii tehdy navštívily již podruhé, a tak v textu zaznamenaly i některé své postřehy z předchozí cesty, a začátkem roku 2007 tam vyrazily potřetí, takže měly i možnost srovnávat a získat aktuální informace. Zvídavému čtenáři, jehož zájem o Indii není jen povrchně turistický, jejich cestopis nabízí nejen vyčerpávající přehled radostí i útrap tzv. nezávislého cestování místními vlaky a autobusy, obohacený o příhody z bezprostřední komunikace s místními obyvateli, ale i velké množství informací o přírodních a kulturních památká

Pokoušení nesvobody
Autor v knize zkoumá, jak se chovali intelektuálové v době totalitních režimů 20. století, vystaveni pokoušení nacismu a komunismu. Tak jako všichni lidé mají i veřejně činní vzdělanci na vybranou – podlehnout svodům a připojit se k mocným, ať už z přesvědčení, nebo z oportunismu a kariérismu, anebo lákavé píšťalce nesvobody odolat. Dahrendorf si pro svou studii zvolil generaci narozenou v letech 1900–1910 a ptá se, jaké kvality museli tito lidé mít, že dokázali v čase nesvobody odolat. K takovým osobnostem s čistým štítem patří pro Dahrendorfa ve zkoumané generaci Raymond Aaron, Isaiah Berlin, Karl Popper, Norberto Bobbio, Jan Patočka, Teodor W. Adorno, Hannah Arendtová, Theodor Eschenburg. Tyto osobnosti autor považuje za nezpochybnitelné členy jím stvořené Societas Erasmiana, tedy intelektuálů jdoucích ve šlépějích humanisty Erasma Rotterdamského (1465–1536). V knize najdeme i portréty „kandidátů“ této společnosti, Dolfa Sternbergera, Sebastiana Haffnera, Gola Manna, Marion Dönhoffové a Ernsta Glaesera, ovšem opominutí nejsou ani tzv. „zahraniční členové“, tedy ti, kteří osobně v diktatuře nežili, ale velmi jasně ji dokázali popsat, například George Orwell. A pak jsou podrobeni zkoumání „odmítnutí kandidáti“ – Jean-Paul Sartre, Robert Havemann. Je to zkoumání zasvěcené, poučné a poutavé. Přeložila Jana Zoubková.

Expressionism
During the first two decades of the 20th century, many artists famously experimented with nonrepresentational expression. Taking cues from ideas hinted as by artists such as El Greco, Goya, Van Gogh, and Munch, Expressionists sought to transform reality rather than depict it in any sort of literal fashion. Egon Schiele, Max Beckmann, Paul Klee, and Wassily Kandinsky are among Expressionism’s most famous exponents.

The Galaxy, and the Ground Within
Sunday Times bestselling author Becky Chambers returns to the Galactic Commons in the final installment in her award-winning and critically acclaimed Wayfarers series.
With no water, no air, and no native life, the planet Gora is unremarkable. The only thing it has going for it is a chance proximity to more popular worlds, making it a decent stopover for ships traveling between the wormholes that keep the Galactic Commons connected. If deep space is a highway, Gora is just your average truck stop.
One of the many establishments present is the Five-Hop One-Stop, a place where long-haul spacers can stretch their legs (if they have legs, that is), and pick up fuel, transit permits, and assorted supplies. The Five-Hop is run by an enterprising alien and her occasionally helpful child, who both work hard to provide a little piece of home to everyone passing through.
When a freak technological failure halts traffic to and from Gora, three strangers are thrown together at the Five-Hop. Grounded, and with nothing to do but wait, the trio - an exiled artist with an appointment to keep, a cargo runner at a personal crossroads, and a mysterious individual doing her best to help those on the fringes - are compelled to confront where they've been, where they might go, and what they might be to each other.

Picasso Black and White
Picasso Black and White examines the artist's lifelong exploration of a black and white leitmotiv through some 110 paintings and a selection of sculptures and works on paper. Picasso continued the tradition of engaging the color black that had been employed throughout a centuries-long history of Spanish painting by fellow artists Jose de Ribera, Diego Velazquez, Francisco de Zurbaran, and Francisco de Goya. Moreover, he made highly effective use of isolated black, white, and gray hues in a nod to monochromatic grisaille painting and to drawing, line, and form. As this volume attests, the recurrent motif of black and white appears throughout Picasso's oeuvre, including his blue and rose periods, his investigations into Cubism and Surrealism, his interpretations of historical subject studies for his celebrated painting Guernica, World War II, and an homage to old masters, as well as the powerful paintings of his last years. Featuring reproductions of more than 150 works, this book examines the extraordinary complexity and power of these expressive artworks, which purge color in order to highlight their formal structure. Including essays by leading Picasso scholars, this book is a unique and coherent perspective on one of the world's most innovative and influential artists.

Great Yoga Retreats
Looking for a tranquil vacation that leaves you relaxed, restored and uplifted? Then try a Yoga retreat. Even if enlightenment is not your aim, you’ll definitely achieve a luminous glow. Yogis understand the positive influence of natural surroundings and feng shui on the body, mind and soul, while the healthy organic food (almost always vegetarian) served at most retreats leaves you feeling lighter and purified. Whether you go by yourself, with a friend or partner, or even in a group, you will always find friendly company. Angelika Taschen has found the most exquisite and inspirational Yoga retreats around the world: choose from an exotic luxury hotel in Bhutan, a spiritual ashram in India, a farmhouse in Tuscany or a beach resort in Mexico. But be warned, Yoga can easily become a way of life. You might find yourself planning your days and even holidays around Yoga practice. Highlights include the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, the birthplace of Yoga, one of the holy cities of the Ganges and a renowned pilgrimage site, where the Beatles attended the Maharishi's ashram in 1968; Yogamagic, an eco-retreat in Goa on the gentle Indian Ocean. Italy is not just a destination for the cultural and culinary traveller but also for the dedicated Yogi: Il Convento in Tuscany and Santa Maria del Sole in Puglia strike a balance between Yoga and the sensual Italian lifestyle. The Esalen Institute in Big Sur is a legendary New Age destination, offering Yoga and much more, with over 500 spiritual and physical workshops; while Amansala's Bikini Boot Camp in Tulum, Mexico, combines beach life with Yoga classes.
