Bohuslav Martinů a Brno
I když skladatel Bohuslav Martinů v Brně nikdy nežil ani pracovně nepůsobil, patřilo mezi místa, kde bylo jeho dílo – často vůbec poprvé – pravidelně uváděno. Publikace se zabývá především fenoménem Martinů scénických děl, která byla v Brně uvedena ve světové nebo československé premiéře – jak za života skladatele, tak po jeho smrti. V tomto smyslu se Brno jednoznačně stalo místem s nejčetnějším uvedením nových martinůovských inscenací v celosvětovém měřítku. Cílem práce je seznámit čtenáře s okolnostmi vzniku děl a okolnostmi jejich brněnských nastudování a také s reakcemi odborné veřejnosti v dobových recenzích. Podrobně jsou představeni dva velcí brněnští propagátoři Martinů tvorby Václav Nosek a Zdeněk Zouhar, jimž jsou věnovány samostatné kapitoly. Ostatní aktivity spojené s brněnským prostředím jsou zmíněny jen okrajově pro doplnění souvislostí a získání celkového přehledu.

Sacred Sites. The Library of Esoterica
A Journey Through Spiritual Landscapes
Taking us on a journey through the history of sacred art and architecture, Sacred Sites explores the myriads of ways in which we imbue our environments with profound and enduring meaning. From our early designation of nature and the body as temple to our futuristic embrace of imaginary realms, we travel the vast and mystical landscapes of myth, religion, and imagination.
Through gathering, we ignite our spaces with spirit, we circle the bonfire, bow down at the forest altar, give praise at the temple to our chosen divinities. Through pilgrimage, we carve indelible pathways, making our meditative way across continents, generations of footsteps treading, again and again, upon sacred grounds. And through our creative offerings to spirit - we envision new worlds, wildly imaginative odes to what we deem as holy; golden temples hewn of rock, enormous spirals sculpted from sand and soil, silent sanctuaries hidden among wooded groves. We paint the ancient cave walls, carve petroglyphs to mark the way, place roses in veneration at the candlelit shrine.
Slowly, stone-by-stone, we build monuments to our gods, a cosmic geometry held within our sacred architecture of worship. These hidden patterns can be found in the mysterious, towering pyramids found across the globe and throughout an astounding diversity of cultures, in the marble sanctuaries built to house the Greek and Roman goddesses, and in the windblown mountain monasteries of ancient Asia and the indigenous cliff-dwellings of the American Southwest.
Nature, art, beauty, these are the common elements found both within the places made sacred by our ancestors and in the multitude of environments where we strive to connect to source, and to ourselves. Tracing a hallowed route from rugged stone temples to transcendent works of modern architecture, the fifth volume in The Library of Esoterica celebrates the collective history of spaces made sacrosanct through human worship.

Každá skupina, klan nebo společenství, která praktikovala tetování měla svá místa, kde se lidé na tetování připravovali či se tam tetování přímo provádělo. Častokrát tetovací sezení doprovázela hudba, písně či jiné rituály. Měli své tatéry/tatérky a jejich pomocníky.
Samozřejmě používali různé tetovací pomůcky k přenášení a aplikaci motivů. V neposlední řadě také různé ingredience pro získávání barev pro tetování. Pro to vše měla jednotlivá společenství své názvy a termíny , ve své vlastní řeči či dialektu, a právě tyto termíny včetně popisu, častokrát už ztracené v historii, přináší tato kniha.
Schéner
Schéner Mihály éppúgy tekinthető a reneszánsz művészek kései leszármazottjának, mint a sajátosan értelmezett, magyar posztavantgárd jelentős képviselőjének. Fest, rajzol, szobrot varr és önt, gyűri és tépi a vásznat, játékot fabrikál, bábot tervez, új szavakat kreál, esszét és bölcs aforizmákat ír, karnevált szervez, performanszok főszereplője. Képletesen szólva, igazi vagabundként otthonosan jár-kel a magyar Alföld homokbuckáin, ahol hajdanvolt pásztorok és betyárok alakja sejlik fel a hajnali párában,és egykori, daliás huszárok vívják soha véget nem érő harcukat. Megmássza az Olümposz sziklás oldalát a pánsípok néhány futamáért. Betér a népi fazekasműhelyekbe és életre kelti a bumfordi miskakancsókat, új formákkal munkát ad a mézeskalácsosoknak,majd a velencei karnevál forgatagában "alakoskodik". Míg az egyik pillanatban reneszánsz udvarok titkait lesi ki, a másikban már a Pokol bugyraiban szembesül az emberi kiszolgáltatottság különböző stációival. Hagyományos kategóriákkal megközelíthetetlen művészete így alkotói folyamatokat tükröző tematikai sorozatokból, formai szekvenciákból, kötetlen anyaghasználatból és a műfaji határok átlépéséből szövődik össze.

Azzedine Alaia: A Couturier's Collection
A stunning showcase of Azzedine Alaia's remarkable fashion collection, published here for the first time.
Azzedine Alaia (1935–2017) was not only a world-renowned fashion designer but also an avid collector of vintage fashion. Now a major exhibition at the Palais Galliera, Paris, Azzedine Alaia showcases the extensive collection he built up over the decades, driven by his fascination with the history of couture and his desire to conserve its heritage for future generations.
Accumulated in utmost secrecy and never revealed during his lifetime, the sumptuous selection of garments ranges from the nineteenth-century elegance of Jacques Doucet and the House of Worth to the names that shaped twentieth-century fashion—Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Schiaparelli—and contemporary innovators such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen.
Captured in specially taken photographs, these meticulously crafted pieces are a tribute to Alaia’s unerring tastes, to the couturiers who inspired and influenced him, and to his endless respect for the craftspeople who created such objects of lasting beauty.
