Afrika navždy
Vždy som si myslel, že to, čo som čítal
kedysi dávno v starých knihách
o Afrike, už dávno neexistuje – prírodné
kmene, húfy zvierat na nedozerných
pláňach, tradície divokých
kmeňov, dunivé zvuky bubnov, nahé
telá tancujúcich domorodcov, ich oštepy,
slamené domy, krvavé zvyky…
Našťastie som tomu celkom neuveril.
Hľadal som. Hľadal som dlho… Po tom, čo som prešiel veľkú časť
Východnej Afriky, som zamieril na západ a do ťažko prístupného
stredu Čierneho kontinentu.
„Bum ! Bum ! Bum !“ – neustále tlčú bubny nespútaných kmeňov.

Views of Africa
It is the foreign, the magical, the secretive that fascinates us about Africa. Views of Africa approaches this vast continent and its people from another perspective. Photographer Stefan Schutz travelled through Africa over many months in an SUV, crossing countries, landscapes and decades, seeking that other Africa remote from the major routes. The results were fascinating photographs of people and landscapes that we have not seen from this perspective before and that bring us closer to the mystery of Africa.

Sebastiao Salgado, Africa
Sebastião Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black-and-white images of distressed people taken in places where most wouldn’t dare to go. Although he has photographed around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years. From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. He knows exactly how to grab the essence of a moment and his images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions. This stunning book brings together Salgado's photos in three parts: the first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today's Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises.

Green Hills of Africa
This is Ernest Hemingway's lyrical journal of a month on safari in the great game country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline journeyed in December 1933. Hemingway's well-known interest in - and fascination with - big game hunting is magnificently captured in this evocative account of his trip. It is an examination of the lure of the hunt and an impassioned portrait of the glory of the African landscape and of the beauty of a wilderness that was, even then, being threatened by the incursions of man.

Prežila som africké peklo
Alena je mladé dievča, ktoré stále lieta v oblakoch. Jej najväčším snom je ísť do Afriky, miluje tú krajinu a aj všetko, čo je s ňou spojené. Stretne tam Alexa, ktorý ju natoľko opantá, že ju presvedčí, aby s ním zostala.
Domov sa vráti zariadiť si nejaké veci a potom sa vráti do Afriky, aby tam začala pracovať a žiť svoj sen.
Ani len netuší, čo sa na ňu chystá a že život, ktorý žila doteraz, bol prechádzka ružovou záhradou. Z letiska ju vyzdvihne chlap, ktorý ju vezie do pravého pekla, z ktorého niet úniku. Celá jej pyramída v čo verila, sa rúca a pochybovala, že sa niekedy postaví do pôvodného tvaru.
Nájde sa niekto, kto jej pomôže?
Alebo umrie sama na tomto Bohom zabudnutom mieste a jej mama sa nikdy nedozvie, čo sa s ňou stalo, lebo ju pochovají ako prašivého psa kdesi za domom, kde to peklo prežívala na vlastnej koži?
Kniha je 18+ a nie je pre slabšie povahy!
Príbeh je písaný v spolupráci s jednou ženou, ktorá si niečím podobným prešla, miesta a aj postavy sú vymyslené, ale ten dej je reálny a povedzme si to rovno, práve v tejto chvíli sa niekde tam, možno aj neďaleko od vás, deje niečo podobné.

Africa Is Not A Country
A bright portrait of modern Africa that pushes back against harmful stereotypes to tell a more comprehensive story.
You already know these stereotypes. So often Africa is depicted simplistically as an arid red landscape of famines and safaris, uniquely plagued by poverty and strife.
In this funny and insightful book, Dipo Faloyin offers a much-needed corrective. He examines each country's colonial heritage, and explores a wide range of subjects, from chronicling urban life in Lagos and the lively West African rivalry over who makes the best Jollof rice, to the story of democracy in seven dictatorships and the dangers of stereotypes in popular culture.
By turns intimate and political, Africa Is Not A Country brings the story of the continent towards reality, celebrating the energy and fabric of its different cultures and communities in a way that has never been done before.
Faces Of Africa
"I try to read people's lives," says photographer Mario Marino. In this new photo book, the Austrian-born camera artist presents over 220 color and black-and-white photographs from some of the most remote areas of Ethiopia, Tanzania, Sudan, and Kenya.
Stunning landscapes combine with powerful portraiture, capturing in particular remote communities whose heritage and ways of life are threatened by the combined forces of tourism, technology, and globalization. With his subjects illuminated by the sunlight alone, particular attention is given to traditional markers upon the body: face paint, hair styles, and jewelry. Beyond simple reportage or documentation, Faces of Africa strives to create a timeless portrait that speaks to the deep geographical and cultural roots of each individual.

Afrika z kufríka
S deťmi je to občas iná divočina. Na pomoc vám prichádzajú šikovní vychovávatelia z prírody. Ich nápady skrotia neposedné detské šelmičky a výchovu hravo zvládnete. Verte im!
Prenosný kufrík s rozkladacím veršovaným leporelom je vymyslený ako spoločné čítanie najmenších s rodičmi. Vychádza z poznania, že malé deti obľubujú príbehy o zvieratách a rady sa učia napodobňovaním. Každé zvieratko, ktoré dieťa spoznáva na safari, má určitú pozitívnu vlastnosť a na jej základe radí dieťaťu, ako si osvojiť potrebné návyky a vykonávať aj menej obľúbené činnosti. Rodičov často stojí dosť síl, kým naučia svoje ratolesti, aby si zvykli na prvé každodenné povinnosti. Možno, že s pomocou sympatických vychovávateľov z ríše zvierat všetko pôjde ľahšie!
Kufrík a leporelo fungujú ako harmonický celok, a to aj zásluhou pôsobivého dizajnu a ilustrácií z dielne mladej slovenskej výtvarníčky Kataríny Hutníkovej.
State of Africa
Africa is forever on our TV screens, but the bad-news stories (famine, genocide, corruption) massively outweigh the good (South Africa). Ever since the process of de-colonialisation began in the mid-1950s, and arguably before, the continent has appeared to be stuck in a process of irreversible decline. Constant war, improper use of natural resources and misappropriation of revenues and aid monies contribute to an impression of a continent beyond hope.
How did we get here? What, if anything, is to be done? Fully revised and updated and weaving together the key stories and characters of the last sixty years into a stunningly compelling and coherent narrative, Martin Meredith has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how to organise 10,000 different ethnic groups has led to what Tony Blair described as the 'scar on the conscience of the world'. Authoritative, provocative and consistently fascinating, this is the seminal book on one of the most important issues facing the West today.
