Jordánia
Sivatagok, várak és próféták országa
A sivatag legmagasabb pontjáról, Dzsebel-Rám magasságából Jordánia csupán végtelen kő- és homoksivatagnak tűnik: lenyűgöző és elhagyatott. Mégis, az események, amelyek ezen a kiégett tájon történtek, megváltoztatták a világ sorsát: erre járt Mózes és Sába királynője, a tömjénszállító karavánok és Arábiai Lawrence csapatai is. Mindennek nyoma maradt: Jordánia egy hatalmas múzeum.
The Illusion of Life : Disney Animation
The most complete book on the subject ever written, this is the fascinating inside story by two long-term Disney animators of the gradual perfecting of a relatively young and particularly American art from, which no other move studio has ever been able to equal.
The authors, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, worked with Walt Disney himself as well as other leading figures in a half-century of Disney films. They personally animated leading characters in most of the famous films and have decades of close association with the others who helped perfect this extremely difficult and time-consuming art form. Not to be mistaken for just a how-to-do-it, this voluminously illustrated volume (like the classic Disney films themselves) is intended for everyone to enjoy.
Besides relating the painstaking trial-and-error development of Disney's character animation technology, this book irresistibly charms us with almost an overabundance of the original historic drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White and Bambi (among many, many others) as well as early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic features such as Fantasia and Pinocchio.
With the full cooperation of Walt Disney Productions and free access to the studio's priceless archives, the authors took unparalleled advantage of their intimate long-term experience with animated films to choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork carefully stored away.
The book answers everybody's question about how the amazingly lifelike effects of Disney character animation were achieved, including charming stories of the ways that many favorite animated figures got their unique personalities. From the perspective of two men who had an important role in shaping the art of animation, and within the context of the history of animation and the growth of the Disney studio, this is the definitive volume on the work and achievement of one of America's best-known and most widely loved cultural institutions. Nostalgia and film buffs, students of popular culture, and that very broad audience who warmly responds to the Disney illusion of life will find this book compelling reading (and looking!).

Správa z Namu
Nam - tri písmenká, ktoré nie až tak veľmi dávno v mladých Američanoch vyvolávali ukrutný strach, pretože išlo o skrátenú podobu slova Vietnam. Pre mnohých chlapcov, čo s čerstvými diplomami práve vyšli zo škôl a univerzít, znamenalo odchod do vzdialenej krajiny, nekonečné útrapy a riziko, že už možno nikdy neuvidia svojich najbližších. Dievčatá zase pri jeho počutí mysleli na bolestné rozlúčky s prvými láskami a na obavy zo správ z bojísk, lebo neraz im oznamovali, že ich milý sa vracia domov prikrytý štátnou vlajkou.
V rovnakej situácii sa ocitnú aj hrdinovia ďalšieho bestselleru Danielle Steelovej Správa z Namu - sympatický absolvent právnickej fakulty Peter a jeho pôvabná priateľka Pax, poslucháčka žurnalistiky. Petrov povolávací rozkaz do Vietnamu znamená koniec ich plánom do budúcnosti. Pre Pax je však strata Petra dvojnásobne trpká. Poskytol jej oporu, keď na ňu vlastná rodina zanevrela a doma sa cítila ako cudzinec, a s ním spájala i svoje predstavy o pokojnom manželstve. Rozčarovaná Pax sa ako mladá dopisovateľka novín Morning Sun ocitá na miestach, kde Peter prežil posledné chvíle. Je rozhodnutá odhaliť pravdu o nezmyselnej vojne a správami z obávaného Namu prebrať ľudí z ľahostajnosti. Počas pobytu v ohnisku pustošivého konfliktu spoznáva odvrátenú tvár krajiny: čarokrásnu prírodu i zopár príjemných priateľov. Lenže ani tu ju osud nešetrí a pripraví jej kruté skúšky. Danielle Steelová raz vyhlásila: "Verím, že nejestvuje fyzický, finančný, duševný alebo osobný problém, ktorý by sa nedal prekonať!"
Zdá sa, že podľa týchto slov sa riadi aj jej hrdinka Pax, ktorá sa nevzdáva a bojuje o lásku zrodenú zo straty, strachu a súženia do poslednej chvíle.

The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh
A new selection of post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gough's letters, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh put a human face on one of the most haunting figures in modern Western culture. In this Penguin Classics edition, the letters are selected and edited by Ronald de Leeuw, and translated by Arnold Pomerans in Penguin Classics.
Few artists' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh's, and this selection, spanning his artistic career, sheds light on every facet of the life and work of this complex and tortured man. Engaging candidly and movingly with his religious struggles, his ill-fated search for love, his attacks of mental illness and his relation with his brother Theo, the letters contradict the popular myth of van Gogh as an anti-social madman and a martyr to art, showing instead a man of great emotional and spiritual depths. Above all, they stand as an intense personal narrative of artistic development and a unique account of the process of creation.
The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing van Gogh's inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life. This edition also includes the drawings that originally illustrated the letters.
Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890) was born in Holland. In 1885 he painted his first masterpiece, The Potato Eaters, a haunting scene of domestic poverty. A year later he began studying in Paris, where he met Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Seurat, who became very important influences on his work. In 1888 he left Paris for the Provencal landscape at Arles, the subject of many of his best works, including Sunflowers.
If you enjoyed The Letters of Vincent van Gogh, you might also like 100 Artists Manifestos, available in Penguin Modern Classics.
'If there was ever any doubt that Van Gogh's letters belong beside those great classics of artistic self-revelation, Cellini's autobiography and Delacroix's journal, this excellent new edition dispels it'
The Times
City of the Century
The epic of Chicago is the story of the emergence of modern America. Here, witness Chicago's growth from a desolate fur-trading post in the 1830s to one of the world's most explosively alive cities by 1900.Donald Miller's powerful narrative embraces it all: Chicago's wild beginnings, its reckless growth, its natural calamities (especially the Great Fire of 1871), its raucous politics, its empire-building businessmen, its world-transforming architecture, its rich mix of cultures, its community of young writers and journalists, and its staggering engineering projects-which included the reversal of the Chicago River and raising the entire city from prairie mud to save it from devastating cholera epidemics. The saga of Chicago's unresolved struggle between order and freedom, growth and control, capitalism and community, remains instructive for our time, as we seek ways to build and maintain cities that retain their humanity without losing their energy.
City of the Century throbs with the pulse of the great city it brilliantly brings to life.

The Fourth Turning
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A startling vision of what the cycles of history predict for the future."--USA Weekend
William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world--and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America's past will predict its future.
Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four eras--or "turnings"--that last about twenty years and that always arrive in the same order. In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period.
First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now-established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis--the Fourth Turning--when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.
The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for America's next rendezvous with destiny.
