Lacná kniha Mens Adventure Magazines in Postwar America
To pay homage to the American periodicals of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s that "documented" such outrageous exploits, TASCHEN brings you this hefty, comprehensive guide packed full of colorful cover art, sumptuous sample spreads, and enlightening essays. With an in-depth introductory essay describing the history, culture, and artistry of men’s adventure—a.k.a. "sweat"—magazines, as well as chapter-by-chapter exploration of various subjects including the role of women and the portrayal of Nazis and Communists, this definitive study of the genre examines not only the popular appeal of the magazines but also their social and political implications. Also included are publisher listings and profiles of artists and writers, as well as an interview with Norm Eastman, one of the genre’s most important artists.

Lacná kniha Yellow Dog
When 'dream husband' Xan Meo is vengefully assaulted in the garden of a London pub, he suffers head-injury, and personality-change. Like a spiritual convert, the familial paragon becomes an anti-husband, an anti-father. He submits to an alien moral system - one among many to be found in these pages. We are introduced to the inverted worlds of the 'yellow' journalist, Clint Smoker, the high priest of hardmen, Joseph Andrews, the porno tycoon, Cora Susan, and Kent Price, the corpse in the hold of the stricken airliner, apparently determined, even in death, to bring down the plane that carries his spouse. Meanwhile, we explore the entanglements of Henry England: his incapacitated wife, Pamela, his Chinese mistress, He Zhezun, his fifteen-year-old daughter, Victoria, the victim of a filmed 'intrusion' which rivets the world - because she is the future Queen of England, and her father, Henry IX, is its King. The connections between these characters provide the pattern and drive of "Yellow Dog". Novelists have noticed that contemporary reality keeps outdoing their imaginations. Yet there is still the obligation to attempt a reading of the present and the very near future. If, in the twenty-first century, the moral reality is changing, then the novel is changing too, whether it likes it or not. "Yellow Dog" is an early example of how the novel, or more particularly the comic novel, can respond to this transformation. But Martin Amis is also concerned here with what is changeless and perhaps unchangeable - patriarchy, and the entire edifice of masculinity, the enormous category-error of violence, arising between man and man, the tortuous alliances between men and women, and the vanished dream (probably always an illusion, but now a clear delusion) that we can protect our future and our progeny.

Lacná kniha Eugenie Grandet
« Tout est grand dans ce célbre roman, sans que rien ne bouge. Eugénie est une sorte de sainte selon l'homme, toujours fidle une mme pensée, mais toute naturelle. [...] Eugénie est le premier personnage de ce drame d'amour [...] En Grandet, ce rocheux Grandet, il y a une source de tendresse émouvante, quand il se cache pour voir sa fille la toilette. [...] Au rebours on trouvera dans Eugénie tous les stratagmes du coeur, et un vrai courage affronter le terrible homme aux gants de cuir. On a tout dit sur Grandet. On a moins remarqué ce mot de reine, lorsque Eugénie se trouve maîtresse d'une immense fortune et assiégée d'intrigues. Elle répond : « Nous verrons cela» comme son pre faisait. [...] Ainsi l'âme de Grandet finit par tre sauvée. Balzac laboure la terre. »

Lacná kniha LIFE - A Journey Through Time
In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us all. Lanting’s true gift lies beyond his technical mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before. From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, LIFE is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is Lanting’s most remarkable achievement to date.
