Entryways of Milan. Ingressi di Milano. 45th Ed.
First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city's most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained façades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry.
The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city's most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively shot by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility and a stylistic interplay of detail shots-such as stones, door handles, and handrails-with larger architectural views.
The images are accompanied by concise contributions from Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish, and Grazia Signori, together bringing a wealth of architecture, design, and natural stone expertise to guide the reader through the applied materials and fittings as well as the art-historical and social implications of each of the ingressi. As much an architectural city guide as an aesthetic study, the book provides the exact address and an annotated Milan map for all featured entryways, as well as the architect name and date of construction.
In the well-documented realm of 20th-century Italian design, Kolbitz has stepped over the threshold and delivered a brand new area of inquiry in Milanese modernism. With the rigor of its multifaceted research, poised photography, and breadth of its featured hallways, this is an invigorating new reference work and an inside look at the city's design DNA across high to low architecture.
Babylon, Albion
Whoever said nature is still has not borne witness to the migration of the seasons.In this lyrical enquiry, Dalia Al-Dujaili considers what it means to belong in your land. She traces the rich heritage of the earth beneath our feet and the wildlife that call it home – from the oak tree and date palm to fairytale creatures, such as dragons, unicorns and the ancient Lamassu. Weaving together Arab and Islamic mythology with the English and Christian pastoral, Al-Dujaili unmasks the communal lush, familiar and, at times, dark places we share.A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, Babylon, Albion is a compelling re-imagining of what it means to be native.
Tree of Knowledge
A poet watches the limbs of a eucalyptus tree get sawed off: the image persists, recurring across poems of art, language, selfhood, memory, and lossJoan Mitchell said, When I talk about love, I mean loving a tree. When I talk about love, I mean loving where a tree used to be.Men assess the eucalyptus tree growing on the poet''s street; a crane arrives. The sound of a chainsaw rings in the air and branches begin to fall. This tree-cutting haunts the poet, and refracts across the remarkable work collected in Tree of Knowledge as Chang turns her thoughts to artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell and Hilma af Klint.Roving, evocative, and intricate, Tree of Knowledge is rooted in Victoria Chang''s crystalline voice and generous, probing gaze, and by certain images ? trees, a hanging figure, a branch, fingertips, a briefcase ? that resurface like apparitions.

Moje Antonie
Moje Antonie patří k nejvýznamnějším dílům americké literatury a představuje vrchol autorčiny tvorby. Vypráví hluboký příběh o dětství, kořenech a hledání vlastního místa ve světě.
Příběh je zasazen do období osidlování amerického středozápadu na sklonku 19. století, kdy za lepší budoucností mířily na americké prérie tisíce přistěhovalců z Evropy. Na pozadí tohoto velkého stěhování sledujeme osud české dívky Antonie Šimerdové, od chvíle, kdy s celou rodinou přichází do Ameriky. Přijíždějí plni naděje, na drsný život na prérii však nejsou připraveni a tvrdá realita jim brzy přinese tragédii. Antonie musí pracovat na farmě i ve městě, naráží na nevyzpytatelnost přírody i lidí, na chudobu i nenaplněnou lásku. Přesto si uchovává vášeň pro život, houževnatost i citlivé srdce. Její příběh vidíme obdivnýma očima oddaného přítele, Američana Jima.
Moje Antonie je významná nejen svou literární kvalitou, ale i českým rozměrem příběhu. Willa Cather s nezaměnitelným rukopisem a hlubokým porozuměním pro lidskou povahu vykresluje krajinu, postavy i pozoruhodné osudy a román tak právem patří mezi literární klasiku 20. století.
„Cather líčí české vystěhovalce při vší lásce realisticky správně.”
T. G. Masaryk
