John Lennon Letters
John Lennon was a writer as well as a musician. It was entirely natural for him to put pen to paper whenever he had an idea, a thought, a reaction or a desire to communicate. He lived - and died - in an age before emails and texts. Pen and ink was what he turned to. John wrote letters and postcards all of his life; to his friends, family, strangers, newspapers, organisations, lawyers and the laundry - most of which were funny, informative, campaigning, wise, mad, poetic, anguished and sometimes heartbreaking. For the first time, John's widow, Yoko Ono, has given permission to publish a collection of his letters. The Editor is the Beatles' official biographer, Hunter Davies, who knew John well. John's letters are in a way something of a mystery - where are they all? Over the years many have come up at auction, then sold to dealers and collectors. Or they have been kept by the recipients, locked up safely. It has been a wonderful piece of detective work tracing many of these 250 letters, postcards and notes, which are arranged in chronological order, so that a narrative builds up, reflecting John's life. It will be visual - in a sense that many of the letters are reproduced as they were, in his handwriting or typing, plus the odd cartoon or doodle. THE JOHN LENNON LETTERS is fundamentally a book to read and study, providing a unique insight into the mind of one of the great figures of our times.
Szendrő vára
"A Boldva folyó mellett Borsod vármegyének két nevezetes vára emelkedett: Borsod, melytől a vármegye nevét vette s mely ősi szerkezetében már Szent István korában fennállott, s tőle északra Szendrő, mely noha századokkal később épült, sokkal jelentősebb szerepet töltött be az ország és a vármegye történetében, mint amaz." (a Szerző)
Az 1908-as kiadás reprintje.
Man Who Sold the World
No artist offered a more incisive and accurate portrait of the troubled landscape of the 1970s than David Bowie. Cultural historian Peter Doggett explores the rich heritage of Bowie's most productive and inspired decade, and traces the way in which his music reflected and influenced the world around him. From "Space Oddity", his dark vision of mankind's voyage into the unknown terrain of space, to the "Scary Monsters" album, Doggett examines in detail Bowie's audacious creation of an 'alien' rock star, Ziggy Stardust, and his increasingly perilous explorations of the nature of identity and the meaning of fame. Mixing brilliant musical critique with biographical insight and acute cultural analysis, "The Man Who Sold The World" is a unique study of a major artist and his times.
The Architect Says
This is a book of quotations by and about architects, and architecture. One quotation per page, the quote on the left and right side of the spread will in some way respond to each other. The Architect Says will resemble a dinner party, with an architect from the eighteenth century sitting next to one practicing today, or two contemporary architects talking to each other: complimenting, competing, disagreeing. Occasionally, a critic will add his or her two cents to the mix.
Picasso Black and White
Picasso Black and White examines the artist's lifelong exploration of a black and white leitmotiv through some 110 paintings and a selection of sculptures and works on paper. Picasso continued the tradition of engaging the color black that had been employed throughout a centuries-long history of Spanish painting by fellow artists Jose de Ribera, Diego Velazquez, Francisco de Zurbaran, and Francisco de Goya. Moreover, he made highly effective use of isolated black, white, and gray hues in a nod to monochromatic grisaille painting and to drawing, line, and form. As this volume attests, the recurrent motif of black and white appears throughout Picasso's oeuvre, including his blue and rose periods, his investigations into Cubism and Surrealism, his interpretations of historical subject studies for his celebrated painting Guernica, World War II, and an homage to old masters, as well as the powerful paintings of his last years. Featuring reproductions of more than 150 works, this book examines the extraordinary complexity and power of these expressive artworks, which purge color in order to highlight their formal structure. Including essays by leading Picasso scholars, this book is a unique and coherent perspective on one of the world's most innovative and influential artists.

Vogue The Editor`s Eye
In September 2012, Vogue, the world's most influential fashion magazine, will celebrate its 120th Anniversary. Many of Vogue's hundreds of gorgeous images have remained timeless. With work by photographers such as Steichen, Horst, Avedon, Penn, Newton, Leibovitz, Testino, Weber, among others, Vogue: The Editor's Eye is a visual journey through the choices and images that have shaped fashion and the way it is interpreted inside and outside of the industry. On the other side of the lens, this book pays homage the models who are celebrated for their charisma and versatility, including Suzy Parker, Lisa Fossagrives, Jean Shrimpton, Linda Evangelista, Natalia Vodianova; the most memorable, have become pop culture touchstones that have far outlasted their context and influenced fashion for generations. What remains unexamined is the unseen but critical role of the Fashion Editor in creating the world's best fashion images. The Editor's Eye sets out to change this, bringing fascinating new insight to the study and appreciation of fashion. With the same photographer, the same model and the same clothes, three different Fashion Editors would produce three vastly different images. This book defines the role the fashion editor plays in the conception, tone and look of a published photograph, bringing an entirely new vantage point to the study and appreciation of fashion. Drawing on Vogue magazine's exceptional archive, and selecting 8 of Vogue's all time great Fashion Editors: Polly Mellen, Babs Simpson, Grace Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Camilla Nickerson, Phyllis Posnick and others, The Editor's Eye delivers a chapter on each editor and includes photo portfolios, essays and interviews. Writers include Judith Thurman, Vince Aletti and Michael Roberts.

Nomad Two Worlds
In the last decade it has evolved from James' individual attempt to understand the clash of ancient and modern cultures he witnessed growing up in Australia to what it is today - a powerful expression of partnership and reconciliation in action through art, music and film that has become a global example of true collaboration across deep cultural divides. From its humble beginnings as a photographic and film exhibition in New York in 1999, "Nomad Two Worlds" endured the years leading up to the global event known in the political narrative simply as The Apology, the 2008 public apology made to Indigenous Australians by the then Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. Developing "Nomad Two Worlds" has involved a decade of groundwork, including travel to remote regions of northern Western Australia with senior Indigenous custodians who have provided access to sites of great cultural significance to the Aboriginal people of that region. Burial grounds, gorges, stunning coastlines and desert locations, often restricted and secret, were allowed to be photographed and filmed by James in the spirit of meaningful reconciliation. The result, an unprecedented artistic collaboration of hand embellished art photographs, form the heart of a "Nomad Two Worlds" installation. The ABC Documentary released in 2011 "Becoming Jangala" is a detailed look back at the creation of "Nomad Two Worlds" and the special bond between Bieundurry and James and can be viewed on this site.

Thália szekerén
Régi filmekben lehet látni, amint vándorszínészek zötykölődő "ekhósszekérrel", ponyvákkal takart ócska járműveken róják az országutakat. Maguk varrják a jelmezeket, festik a díszleteket, írják a plakátokat, aki épp nem szerepel, beáll súgónak vagy kellékesnek. Ott alszanak, ahol rájuk sötétedik, kocsmákban, istállókban lépnek föl, sokszor a szabad ég alatt...
Romantikus életnek tűnik, ám a valóságban egyáltalán nem volt az. Nagyon sok többé vagy kevésbé tehetséges művész vállalta ezt az életformát, amelyben a lemondás általában százszor több volt, mint az elért siker. Persze az is igaz, hogy a vándorszínészet nem mindig jelentett kóborlást - sokszor sikerült valamelyik városban "gyökeret ereszteni", és ott hosszabb időre letelepedni.
Nők is járták az országot. A "hirdetésre" jelentkező első színész, Moór Anna, Kántorné és a leghíresebb Déryné Széppataki Róza. Ő még megérte, hogy az utazásokból kőszínházba kerüljön, még ott is rámosolygott a siker - valódi lételemét mégis a vidéki fellépések jelentették.
Aztán ott volt Schodelné Klein Rózsi, az első operaénekesnő, akiről kevesen tudják, hogy az ő produkciójának emlékét őrzi a Normafa. Későbbi életét és pályafutását egy nagy szerelemnek áldozta föl. Hollósy Kornélia egy dúsgazdag örmény "nábob" lányából lett az egyik legnépszerűbb énekesnő.
Laborfaly Rózát akár a múzsák kötetben is tárgyalhattuk volna, hiszen Jókai Mórral kötött házassága legalább olyan érdekes és fordulatos, mint a hölgy színpadi pályafutása. Bulyovszky Lilla előle menekült el nemcsak a Nemzeti Színházból, hanem az országból is, és lett "majdnem világhírű".
Végül Prielle Kornélia, akit fiatalon Petőfi akart elvenni, de ő egy olyan színésztársát választotta, akivel "se vele, se nélküle" házasságba jutott: elvált tőle, majd újra hozzáment. A Nemzeti Színházban ő kapta meg először az "örökös tag".
Ekkoriban kezdődött a balett is, a mára már csaknem ismeretlen Aranyváry Emíliával, aki balerina volt és koreográfus. Aztán úgy 40 éves kora körül egyszer csak megmagyarázhatatlan módon eltűnt, nyoma veszett - máig se derült ki, mi történt vele...
Sorsok pályaképek, titkok, legendák Thália korai "papnői körül".
