Outlandish
In Outlandish, acclaimed travel writer Nick Hunt takes us across landscapes that should not be there, wildernesses found in Europe yet seemingly belonging to far-off continents: a patch of Arctic tundra in Scotland; the continent's largest surviving remnant of primeval forest in Poland and Belarus; Europe's only true desert in Spain; and the fathomless grassland steppes of Hungary.
From snow-capped mountain range to dense green forest, desert ravines to threadbare, yellow open grassland, these anomalies transport us to faraway regions of the world. More like pockets of Africa, Asia, the Poles or North America, they make our own continent seem larger, stranger and more filled with secrets.
Against the rapid climate breakdown of deserts, steppes and primeval jungles across the world, this book discovers the outlandish environments so much closer to home - along with their abundant wildlife: reindeer; bison; ibex; wolves and herds of wild horses. Blending sublime travel writing, nature writing and history - by way of Paleolithic cave art, reindeer nomads, desert wanderers, shamans, Slavic forest gods, , European bison, Wild West fantasists, eco-activists, horseback archers, Big Grey Men and other unlikely spirits of place - these desolate and rich environments show us that the strange has always been near.
Master Pavol and his Altar
Find out about the tallest Gothic winged altar in the world!
The Basilica of St. James in Levoča features a unique work of art: the tallest late-Gothic winged altar in the world (18.62 metres tall). It was created by master-woodcarver Pavol of Levoča (born around 1460, died between 1537 - 1542), one of the few medieval artists working in this region who are known by name. He was commissioned to work on a new high altar sometime after 1500, probably at the bidding of local nobleman Ján Thurzo. Creating this altar required several years of preparation and wood-carving work, not only by Master Pavol himself but involving all the craftsmen in his workshop as well. The altar was completed in 1508; it was the largest in central Europe at that time, and its retable (the vertical altarpiece) remains to this day one of the greatest artworks of its kind in Europe north of the Alps.
This guide to Master Pavol and his high altar will familiarize you with the life of Master Pavol himself, the background to the creation of the famous Levoča altar and the atmosphere of the period in which this important religious artwork was made, and it also presents a detailed interpretation of the altar's features. Another equally worthwhile part of the guide is its extraordinary pictorial content: a unique collection of photographs by world-famous Czech photographer Jan William Drnek.

Lőcsei Pál mester szárnyas oltára
Ismerje meg a világ legnagyobb szárnyas oltárát!
A lőcsei Szent Jakab-templom kivételes műremeket őriz – a világ legmagasabb (18,62 m) késő gótikus stílusú szárnyas oltárát. Az oltárt Lőcsei Pál mester (szül. 1460 körül – megh. 1537 és 1542 között) készítette, egyike azon kevés középkori művészeknek, akik hazánk területén alkottak, és akit név szerint is ismerünk. Megbízói 1500 táján választották ki őt az igényes munka kivitelezésére, feltehetően Thurzó János sugalmazására. A főoltár megalkotásához többéves előkészületre volt szükség. Az oltárépítményen nemcsak Pál mester dolgozott, hanem egész műhelye részt vett a munkában. A szárnyas oltár 1508-ban nyerte el végleges formáját. Abban az időben a legnagyobb méretű oltár volt Közép-Európában – oltártáblája ma is a legnagyobbak közé tartozik a kontinensen.
Könyvünk, a Lőcsei Pál mester szárnyas oltára megismerteti az olvasóval a híres lőcsei oltár születésének körülményeit, közelebb hozza hozzánk Pál mester személyét és felvázolja azt a kort is, amelyben ez a nevezetes alkotás született. Részletesen elemzi magát a művet is. A szöveggel egyenértékű a könyvet illusztráló lenyűgöző képanyag, amelyet Jan William Drnek világhírű cseh fotográfus készített.

Meister Paul und sein Altar
Erfahren Sie mehr über den höchsten Flügelaltar der Welt!
In der Basilika des Heiligen Jakobus in Leutschau befindet sich ein einzigartiges Kunstwerk – der höchste spätgotische Flügelaltar der Welt (18,62 m). Sein Autor ist der Bildhauer Meister Paul von Leutschau (*um 1460 - † zwischen 1537 - 1542), einer der wenigen mittelalterlichen Künstler, die in unserem Gebiet tätig waren und namentlich bekannt sind. Er wurde mit der Arbeit am Altar irgendwann nach 1500 beauftragt, wahrscheinlich auf Einladung von Johannes Thurzo. Der Altar erforderte eine mehrjährige Vorbereitung und die Arbeit nicht nur von Meister Paul selbst, sondern auch seiner gesamten Werkstatt. Im Jahr 1508 war der Altar fertig – zu jener Zeit war er der größte Altar in Mitteleuropa und das Altarretabel gehört bis heute zu den größten Kunstwerken seiner Art in den Ländern Europas hinter den Alpen.
Der Führer Meister Paul und sein Altar berichtet über die Umstände der Entstehung des berühmten Leutschauer Altars und Meister Paul selbst, er bringt Ihnen die Atmosphäre der Zeit näher, in der dieses bedeutende sakrale Werk geschaffen wurde und enthält eine detaillierte Interpretation des Altars. Ein ebenso wertvoller Bestandteil des Führers ist das außergewöhnliche Bildmaterial - einzigartige Fotografien des weltberühmten tschechischen Fotografen Jan William Drnek.

Rooms of Their Own
Rooms of Their Own travels around the world examining the unique spaces, habits and rituals in which famous writers created their most notable works.
The perennial question asked of all authors is, 'How do you write?'. What do they require of their room or desk? Do they have favourite pens, paper or typewriters? And have they found the perfect daily routine to channel their creativity? Crossing centuries, continents and genres, Alex Johnson has pooled 50 of the best writers and transports you to the heart of their writing rooms - from attics and studies to billiard rooms and bathtubs.
Discover the ins and outs of how each great writer penned their famous texts, and the routines and habits they perfected. Meet authors who rely on silence and seclusion and those who need people, music and whisky. Meet novelists who travel half-way across the world to a luxury writing retreat, and others who just need an empty shed at the bottom of the garden. Some are particular about pencils, inks, paper and typewriters, and some will scribble on anything - including the furniture. But whether they write in the library or in cars, under trees, private islands, hotel rooms or towers - each of these stories confirms that there is no 'best way' to write.
From James Baldwin, writing in the small hours of the morning in his Paris apartment, to DH Lawrence writing at the foot of a towering Ponderosa pine tree, to the Bronte sisters managing in a crowded co-working space, this book takes us into the lives of some of history's greatest ever writers, with each writing space illustrated in evocative watercolour by James Oses.
In looking at the working lives of our favourite authors, bibliophiles will be transported to other worlds, aspiring writers will find inspiration and literature fans will gain deeper insight into their most-loved authors.

Moja cesta
Ako aktívneho cestovateľa ma nemôže prekvapiť nič, tvrdil som, kým som sa nevydal pešo na cestu do Compostely v 58 rokoch s nulovou kondíciou. Jediná cesta môjho života, ktorá sa nedala naplánovať, ani predvídať. Camino sa totiž nezdoláva, zdoláva sa myseľ. Nie je to cesta z bodu A do bodu B, ale dobrodružná výprava do vlastného vnútra. Tvoje zbrane sú sebazaprenie, sebadisciplína, viera a otvorenosť voči všetkému, čo ti príde do cesty. Cesta do Compostely je paralelou života. Môžeš ju premrhať šomraním na vlastnú bolesť a nepohodlie, alebo s detskou zvedavosťou a nadšením obdivovať a tešiť sa z každého pohľadu, človeka, nového dňa a zážitku. Kráčať s obavami, alebo s radostným očakávaním ďalšej lekcie. Volanie Camina som pociťoval niekoľko rokov.
Prečo do toho ale zakaždým zasiahla ,,vyššia moc,, a na moju cestu som sa mohol vydať až teraz, som pochopil až na jej konci. Naozaj má všetko svoj dôvod. A ani táto kniha by nevznikla, ak by som túto púť absolvoval v ktoromkoľvek inom roku i čase. Ak inšpiruje aspoň jedného čitateľa k tomu, aby sa vydal na svoju vlastnú cestu, potom to všetko malo zmysel.
