The Ajanta Caves
A revised edition of a classic title, now with digitally restored photographs, showcasing the finest surviving examples of ancient Buddhist art. Since their chance rediscovery in 1819, the breathtaking paintings and sculptures of the Ajanta caves have inspired and delighted experts and amateurs alike. Ranging in date from the second century BCE to the sixth century CE, these ancient Buddhist artworks rank among the world’s most important cultural treasures.
Benoy K. Behl captured the beauty and luminosity of these works using long exposures and natural light and now presents them here digitally restored to show the paintings closer to their original glory than ever before. The exquisite murals, depicting the tales of previous incarnations of Buddha, scenes of princely processions, and fantastical birds and beasts, provide virtually the only evidence of painting styles that first developed in India and remain crucially important to the understanding of Buddhist art throughout Asia. On UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites, the Ajanta caves survive as a potent symbol of the great beauty of India’s rich artistic past. This new edition provides for the first time a view of some of the masterpieces of Ajanta painstakingly digitally restored by Behl.
Sensitively carried out, the restoration makes the paintings clearer without interfering with their original grace and nuance, leading to a deeper appreciation of their artistry. Accompanied by expert commentaries to fully immerse the reader in the cultural context of the murals, The Ajanta Caves will help preserve the legacy of the glorious art of Ajanta for years to come. 225 color illustrations

Watch
Now repackaged in an attractive and great value-for-money format, this overview of twentieth-century horology combines stunning pictures of the most covetable time-pieces with the unparalleled expertise of a world-renowned vintage watch dealer.
This impeccably researched and lavishly illustrated book traces the evolution of the watch across the twentieth century. It charts the early rise of the wristwatch, shows how the cataclysmic events of the 1929 Wall Street Crash unexpectedly led to a golden age of watch production, and demonstrates how the electronic watch, which almost destroyed the traditional industry, led to a mechanical watch renaissance in the last part of the century.
Each chapter focuses on a specific decade, opening with an introduction to the era’s stylistic and design highlights and then examines the development of specific genres of watches.
Hundreds of color photographs include full-page close ups that reveal intricate details of form, texture, and design. Alexander Barter’s vast knowledge informs his gripping texts, which discuss the major achievements in watch technology and design. This book also includes vintage advertisements and other promotional materials, helping to give a sense of the eras in which they were created.
The perfect gift for watch aficionados, this beautiful and informative volume presents the world’s finest watches with an elegance and depth befitting its subject.
Anime Through the Looking Glass
The magic and mastery of anime springs to life in this gorgeous celebration of the genre that features more than 150 full-color frames.
ANIME GOES TO WAR: A powerful narrative engine, such as Kaneda’s red motorcycle in Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s Akira, war is thebeating heart of anime, its shadow hovering over various genres.
HUMAN, ALL TOO HUMAN?: Man versus machine. Exploring new dialectics of body and mind through films like Rintaro’s Galaxy Express 999 andMamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: On the other side of the mirror, we discover wonderful worlds in dreamlike colors populated with protective spirits, fantastic creatures and humans that save the world like the messianic girl in Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä to the Space Pirate Captain Harlock
LIFE NOW: Exhibiting the metamorphosis of society and lifestyles, with scenes from family life to the schoolyard to the company, anime also sketches the human tragic-comedy with great acuity like Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name.
This uniquely powerful form of artistic expression has embraced complex and provocative ideas since its inception in the mid twentieth century.
This dynamic and wide-ranging book explores eighty key themes of the genre, from wars to natural disasters, nature to ecology, childhood to magic, dystopias to fables. It looks at more than one hundred masterpieces of Japanese animation, including Akira, Ghost in the Shell, One Piece, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies and Howl’s Moving Castle, to show how practitioners consistently balance tradition with modernity and how anime’s distinct style has influenced other forms of media such as video games, comic books and live-action films.
Covering an enormous range of talent—from Isao Takahata, Katsuhiro Ôtomo, and Makoto Shinkai to Studio Ghibli and Mamoru Oshii—it demonstrates how anime makes room for limitless creativity. Unfettered by the physical constraints of nature’s laws, these artists realize our deepest emotions and our wildest dreams.
A Modern Dal filozófiája
"Az emberek próbálhatják a zenét tudománnyá változtatni, de a tudományban egy meg egy mindig kettő lesz. A zene, mint minden művészet, újra és újra azt mondja el nekünk, hogy egy meg egy az a legjobb esetben három."
Aligha akad még egy ember a modern könnyűzenében, aki többet tudna a dalszerzés rejtelmeiről, mint Bob Dylan. A popkultúra ikonja és élő legendája az angolszász könnyűzenei dalkincs legjavát gyűjti egybe Little Richardtól, Elvis Presley-től és Frank Sinatrától kezdve Roy Orbisonon, Santanán és a Grateful Deaden át egészen Judy Garlandig, Cherig és Nina Simone-ig, hogy összesen hatvanhat, összehasonlíthatatlan stílusban megírt lírai esszéjében egyszerre meséljen a dalok mögött húzódó érzésvilágról, zenei formanyelvükről és keletkezésük körülményeiről. Ám Dylan nem elégszik meg ennyivel. Szövegei mindig többek egyszerű kommentárnál: egy-egy nóta kapcsán gyakran az emberi létezés mélyére ás, és önmagához híven sosem habozik véleményt nyilvánítani erkölcsi-társadalmi kérdésekben sem.
2020-ban kiadott Rough and Rowdy Ways című albumával Bob Dylan lett az egyetlen olyan előadó a könnyűzene történetében, akinek a hatvanas évek óta minden évtizedben sikerült felkerülnie a Billboard Top 40-es listájára. A modern dal filozófiája az első kötete a magyarul 2005-ben megjelent Krónikák, és a 2016-ban elnyert irodalmi Nobel-díj óta.

František z Braníka
František z Braníka je společné dílo Tří sester a Synů výčepu. Jde o původně skromný projekt, který se rozrostl tak, že nakonec vznikla kniha a album s osmadvaceti písničkami, jež vyvolávají ducha legendárního Františka Sahuly. Frontman Tří sester Lou Fanánek Hagen o projektu říká:
„Příběh Františka z Braníka je inspirován přesilnými zážitky, kterými mě obdařil život v hostincích nejnižší kategorie v pražském Braníku v osmdesátých letech minulého století. Bylo to v době, kdy socialismus pomalu umíral a kdy oprávněné či falešné nadšení z jeho budování opustilo všechny vrstvy obyvatelstva. V době mého dospívání a formování se v těsné blízkosti odvíjel příběh velkého ‚hledače‘ Františka Sahuly. Období tří let na sklonku osmdesátek je v jeho životě nabité zvraty, jakým většina lidí není vystavena v průběhu celého života.“
Obsahuje CD s 28 tracky.

The History of African Art
This indispensable introductory guide explores the art of the African continent from its early origins over 150,000 years ago to the contemporary, set in the context of postcolonial debates, the restitution of cultural objects and artifacts, and the challenges of the present. This enormous and complex field of study, once under-appreciated by the Western art world, is now of global importance and an essential subject of education in art history.
For ease of reference and analysis, leading African art expert Suzanne Preston Blier has structured this guide chronologically into manageable and meaningful chapters covering ancient art, the Middle Ages, travel and trade, encounters with Europe in the age of exploration, the colonial era, the rebuilding of the continent in recent times, and contemporary art. Addressed are core, continent-wide themes in African visual and cultural expression, from the life cycle (children, initiation, motherhood, religion) to the body and representations of power dynamics.
Important regional artistic expressions are also explored, such as the cultures of Mali (the Western Sudan), Nigeria (the lower Niger and Benue area), the Congo Basin, and various nomadic populations across the continent.Written from an inclusive, modern perspective, focusing not only on royal traditions but also the broader global history of the continent and its artistic practices, this is an excellent introduction for students, museum visitors, and anyone with an interest in fine art, African history, and cultural studies.

Ne-lidská fotografie
Kniha hledá koncepční rámec pro takové pochopení obrazových médií, jejich vizuality a percepce, jaké odpovídá situaci, kde člověk nefiguruje jako objekt, aktér ani adresát. V tomto ohledu jsou totiž klasické teorie fotografie, které se zaměřují na indexikalitu nebo pěstují konvenční narativ člověk versus stroj, už bez užitku. Zylinska proto přesouvá pozornost na ne-reprezentativní aspekty fotografické tvorby. S jejich pomocí představuje fotografii jako životodárnou sílu, formativní životní činnost i médium, které má moc adekvátně reagovat na mezní situaci, v níž se lidstvo a tato planeta ocitají.

Alain Robbe Grillet: Film a jeho dvojník
Do publikácie sú zaradené texty z obdobia od druhej polovice šesťdesiatych po osemdesiate roky, pokrývajú teda len istý výsek autorovho kreatívneho života. Pokiaľ sa nevenujú konkrétnym filmom alebo kinematografii, osvetľujú širšie súvislosti, ktoré môžu prispieť k interpretácii autorovej filmovej tvorby. Tento výber nemá ambíciu vyčerpať možnosti spoznávania jeho filmového diela, ciele publikácie sú oveľa skromnejšie. Má slovenskému čitateľovi ponúknuť možnosť zoznámiť sa s niektorými motívmi autorovho uvažovania o jeho vlastnej tvorbe, ale aj o rozprávaní a o umeleckej tvorbe vo všeobecnosti či o role imaginácie v živote jedinca a spoločnosti.

Teorém kamenné zahrady
Kniha Teorém kamenné zahrady unikátním způsobem mapuje prostředí střešovického ateliéru Bohumila Kafky s přilehlou zahradou, přičemž hranice mezi oběma prostory je nejasná a propustná. Kniha znejišťuje jak utilitární vnímání místa, tak jeho jasně konturovanou interpretaci. Místo toho nabízí reflexivní, tázající se přístup, odkazující ke konceptům jako je poetika prostoru, kulturní paměť nebo genius loci. „Ateliér“ a „zahrada“ se stávají nejednoznačnými, živoucími pojmy, které kniha ohledává v několika vrstvách tak, že vytvářejí vlastní polyfonní dialog. Časosběrná fotografická dokumentace Slávky Hajdeckerové, vznikající na Kafkárně v průběhu tří let, je doplněná imaginativními básnickými texty Kláry Krásenské, které reagují na zdejší konkrétní prostory. Knihu ohraničují esejistické texty Davida Bláhy a Matouše Lipuse, nabízející další možná čtení místa. Teorém kamenné zahrady se coby publikace sama blíží organickému, ale různorodému celku a z prostoru, který reflektuje, přejímá výzvu k vnímavému a otevřenému čtení. Grafika Klára Kvízová.
