Iberian Horses - Andalusians & Lusitanos


This book is intended as a tribute to the baroque horses of Spain and Portugal. For centuries impressive Andalusian stallions have enchanted human beings and held them spellbound. They exude a beautiful compact elegance and a royal aura. Whether in harness, under the saddle, or running wild and free—their magnificence is unique and infinite. These horses were considered an important status symbol and even used to be weighed in terms of gold. Their legacy is immortal and is passed down throughout the generations in the bloodlines of the Pura Raza Espanola. The horses of the Puro Sangre Lusitano from Portugal, with their unique character and noble appearance, are of the same origin as their Spanish relatives. At the beginning of the eighteenth century the Sun King Joao V celebrated the heyday of equestrianism at his court in Lisbon. Lusitanos were much prized and sought after by all the European royal courts. They exude a very special charisma, are extremely impressive and truly magnificent.

Beethovent hallani


Mindannyiunknak ismerős a kép a szenvedélyes, komor Beethovenről, aki elszántan küzdött, hogy felülkerekedjen a siketségen, aki hallása elvesztése után is több mint egy évtizeden át folytatta a zenélést és a komponálást. Ezt általában emberfeletti hősiességnek tekintjük, de az igazság az, hogy Beethovennek a siketségre adott válasza nagyon is emberi. És azzal, hogy demisztifikáljuk a tetteit, sokat tanulhatunk Beethoven zenéjéről. Talán senki nem tud erről többet, mint Robin Wallace, aki nem csupán Beethoven zenéjének szentelte életét mint zenetudós, de szoros személyes tapasztalattal is rendelkezik a siketséggel kapcsolatban. Egy napon, negyvennégy éves korában Wallace felesége, Barbara azt tapasztalta, hogy nem hall a jobb fülére – a hallásvesztést az agydaganata kezelésére alkalmazott sugárterápia okozta. Három évvel később a bal fülére is megsiketült. Az életéből hátralévő nyolc és fél év alatt, bár cochleáris implantátumot használt, Barbara soha többé nem élhetett úgy, mint egy halló ember. Wallace megmutatja nekünk, hogy a közhiedelemmel ellentétben Beethoven nem harcba szállt hősiesen a siketséggel, hanem annál valami még nehezebb és nagyobb feladatot hajtott végre: alkalmazkodott a halláskárosodáshoz, és megváltoztatta a zenével való kapcsolatát, s e folyamat közben a zene természetének fontos szempontjait ismerte meg. A zene létrehozása vizuális és fizikai folyamat lett számára, amely látható utasításokból és a hangszerek mozgásából és rezgéséből fakad. A siketség talán lelassította, de páratlan mélységű alkotásokhoz is vezette őt. Beethoven alkotó életének története fonódik össze a könyvben Barbara és szerettei tapasztalataival, olyan szempontokat ismertetve meg velünk, olvasókkal, amelyeket csak a siketséggel élők mutathatnak meg. E szempontok könnyebben elérhetővé, érthetőbbé és átélhetőbbé teszik Beethoven zenéjét is, és segítenek megérteni, hogy egy fogyatékosság miként járulhat hozzá az élet teljességének megéléséhez és a fejlődéshez.

Kouzelná flétna


Světoznámý egyptolog a kulturolog Jan Assmann (* 1938) se přibližně od přelomu tisíciletí mimo jiné soustavně věnuje obrazům Egypta v postrenesanční evropské kultuře, zvláště na poli literatury či esejistiky (např. u Thomase Manna či Sigmunda Freuda) a v hudebně dramatické tvorbě (např. u Händela, Verdiho či Schönberga). Jeho brilantní rozbor Kouzelné flétny třetího velkého enigmatického díla naší kultury vedle Shakespearova Hamleta a Leonardovy Mony Lisy nabízí obsahový i žánrový klíč ke zdánlivé zmatenosti operního děje a umožňuje pochopením historických souvislostí oživit plnou estetickou působivost díla pro současnost. Kouzelná flétna uvádí na jeviště rituál, který se před diváky nejenom odvíjí, ale také je subtilně a přitom intenzivně vtahuje do rituálního dění. V tom tkví jádro estetické ideje, na níž opera spočívá a z níž vyplývá vše ostatní, tedy jazyková a hudební dramaturgie díla. Je to myšlenka jedinečná a geniální; nevím o jiné opeře, jež by byla pojata takto kompletně jako výkon rituálu byť jsou vztahy mezi operou a rituálem obecně vzato těsné a v raných italských operách často nacházíme jednotlivé rituální scény, například výstupy zaklínání duchů nebo obětování. Přestože Kouzelná flétna v tomto propojení rituálu s operou dosahuje naprostého úspěchu, nemělo dílo v tomto ohledu žádné předchůdce a nenašlo ani následníky.

Accidentally Wes Anderson


Wes Anderson's beloved films announce themselves through a singular aesthetic - one that seems too vivid, unique, and meticulously constructed to possibly be real. Not so - in Accidentally Wes Anderson, Wally Koval collects the world's most Anderson-like sites in all their faded grandeur and pop-pastel colours, telling the story behind each stranger than-fiction-location. Based on the viral online phenomenon and community of the same name, Accidentally Wes Anderson celebrates the unique aesthetic that millions of Anderson fans love - capturing the symmetrical, the atypical, the unexpected, the vibrantly patterned, and distinctively coloured in arresting photographs from around the world. Authorised by Wes Anderson himself, and appealing to the millions who love his films, this book is also for fans of Cabin Porn and Van Life - and avid travellers and aspiring adventurers of all kinds.

Baumhorn Lipót


Baumhorn Lipót (1860–1932) a zsinagógaspecialisták legtermékenyebb képviselője volt Európában: 26 zsinagógát tervezett a Történelmi Magyarország területén, melyek közül 22 fel is épült. Pályája kezdetén lerótta tiszteletét elődei előtt keleties és historizáló alkotásaival, és a német alaprajzi- és kupolatípus adaptálásával megalkotta sajátos szerkezeti prototípusát. A századforduló csúcsműve Szeged neológ zsinagógája volt, melynek épu¨letornamentikája beszédes szimbolizmust rejt. Önálló, a magyaros szecessziót a modern funkcionalitással ötvöző stílusára ezt követően talált rá a ceglédi, az újvidéki és a Budapest Dózsa György úti zsinagógák tervezésekor. Az első világháború után a korszerű épu¨letszerkezetet többnyire klasszicizáló köntösbe bújtatta, melynek továbbra is szerves részét képezte az orientalizálás. A műfaj hattyúdala a gyöngyösi zsinagóga volt 1930 köru¨l, mely utoljára megidézte a közösségek századfordulós virágzását. Világi épületeivel együtt életműve közel 90 alkotásból áll; a főváros mellett Szegeden, Temesváron és Újvidéken székházak, lakó- és bérpaloták fémjelzik nevét.

Decadence and Dark Dreams: Belgian Symbolism


Sensuousness, magic, a profound momentousness and irrationality are the hallmarks of the new art movement of Belgian Symbolism, which emerged during the 1880s. From Georg Minne and Fe licien Rops to Fernand Khnopff and James Ensor, the portraits, figure paintings and landscapes revealed a fascination with the eerie and the nefarious, with Thanatos und Eros. The remarkable feature of Belgian Symbolism is its predilection for the morbid and the bizarre. Death and decay became leitmotifs in art. In around 1900, artists tried to link a new mysticism with an extravagant and precious style. The central figure in this context was the femme fatale as an expression of excess and lust, often paired with echoes of the esoteric and the demonic. Many stimuli for European Symbolism had their origins in Belgium. This wide-ranging and lavishly illustrated volume examines this phenomenon.
