Ve zlomku vteřiny - Bouřlivý život Eadwearda Muybridgea.


Cestovatel a průkopník kinematografie, nebo šílenec, tvrdohlavý experimentátor a vrah? Nejnovější komiks Guye Delislea je příběhem výjimečné osobnosti, kterou byl Eadweard Muybridge! Doba zlaté horečky v Kalifornii znamenala velké peníze, riskantní rozhodnutí a odvážné sny. Tehdy Muybridge přijíždí do Ameriky a brzy se stává jedním z nejslavnějších fotografů své doby. S pomocí nejbohatšího muže Spojených států, Lelanda Stanforda, se mu podaří nevídaný kousek: zachytit na fotografický film průběh cválajícího koně. Tím se stává tím, kdo zastavil čas, a také prvním, kdo zobrazil film, dávno před Edisonem a bratry Lumierovými. Přinášíme vám pohnutý životopis průkopníka kinematografie Eadwearda Muybridge a panorama doby, v níž žil. Guy Delisle, známý svými reportážními kreslenými filmy (mimo jiné Jeruzalémské kroniky, Barmské kroniky a Pchjongjang), se tentokrát vrací do minulosti a nahlíží do okamžiku, kdy byla vynalezena fotografie, otřásla se pozice malířství a začala kinematografie.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World


Murakami's surreal, mind-bending masterpiece: a sci-fi pastiche and a Utopian fantasy novel ingeniously woven together. A narrative particle accelerator that zooms between Wild Turkey Whiskey and Bob Dylan. Unicorn skulls and voracious librarians. John Coltrane and Lord Jim. Science fiction, detective story, post-modern manifesto. All this rolled into one rip-roaring novel, End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland is the tour de force that expanded Haruki Murakami's international following. Tracking one man's descent into the Kafkaesque underworld of contemporary Tokyo, Murakami unites East and West, tragedy and farce, compassion and detachment, slang and philosophy. 'A remarkable writer...he captures the common ache of contemporary heart and head' Jay McInerney 'His fantasies, with their easy reference to western pulp fiction and music, retain a beauty of the mind' Guardian WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR

Engagement


A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time ‘I want to have him, I really do. I just don’t want him to have me.’ Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work. Engagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world’s future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.
