Apokalypsy a vize/ Apocalypses and visions
Vstoupíme-li do imaginárního světa Jaroslava Róny a odhalíme jeho niterné výtvarné sny, pomůže nám to pochopit cíle umělcovy tvorby a dešifrovat široký námětový rejstřík a repertoár motivů jeho díla. Malířovo dílo vědomě reflektuje společenský, kulturní a politický kontext a živě reaguje na klíčové umělecké osobnosti, dobové proudy a tendence nebo současnou výtvarnou scénu. Jeho obrazy je možné vnímat jako kritickou sondu vedoucí k existenciální reflexi smyslu i cílů lidského života a proměn společnosti. Do celého malířského díla se promítá pestrá životní zkušenost, nevyčerpatelná tvůrčí představivost, osobitý výtvarný styl a technická i výrazová virtuozita. Zvláště naléhavé jsou obrazové kompozice, apokalypsy a vize, připomínající potenciální i reálné problémy současného světa, které hrozí vyústit v zánik lidské civilizace.
Entering Jaroslav Róna’s imaginary world and discovering his inner artistic dreams will help us understand the artist’s goals and decipher the wide repertoire of motifs in his works. In his works, Róna intentionally reflects the social, cultural and political context and addresses to key artistic personalities, contemporary trends and tendencies as well as the current art scene. His paintings can be seen as critical inquiry leading to an existential reflection on the meaning and purpose of human life and social transformations. They are the product of his varied life experience, inexhaustible creative imagination, distinctive style and technical and expressive virtuosity. His pictorial compositions, apocalypses and visions are distinguished by extraordinary insistence, reminding us of potential and actual problems of our world, which may result in the extinction of human civilization.
Vincent Hložník, Posolstvá a vízie / Messages and Visions
Rozsiahle dielo VINCENTA HLOŽNÍKA (1919 – 1997) sa stalo základom slovenského moderného výtvarného prejavu. Maliar, grafik, ilustrátor, vysokoškolský profesor, národný umelec Vincent Hložník je jednou z najvýznamnejších osobností slovenského výtvarného umenia 20. storočia. Súčasťou vrcholného moderného umenia na Slovensku je najmä fenomén známy pod názvom Hložníkova grafická škola. Jeho nové smerovanie vo výtvarnom umení inšpiratívne ovplyvnilo generáciu jeho súčasníkov i nasledovníkov a patrí k trvalým hodnotám slovenskej výtvarnej kultúry. Vincent Hložník bol maliarom európskeho rozmeru a patril k prvým zásadným slovenským ilustrátorom – ilustroval približne tristo kníh. Neodmysliteľnou súčasťou tvorby tohto veľkého umelca sú monumentálne práce – mozaiky a vitráže v kostoloch po celom Slovensku. Vystavoval doma, ale aj v Taliansku, Maďarsku, bývalom Sovietskom zväze, Mexiku, Veľkej Británii, Egypte a v iných štátoch. Táto publikácia o živote a diele Vincenta Hložníka je výsledkom dlhoročnej práce. Jej cieľom je prispieť k poznaniu tvorby, ktorej veľkosť charakterizuje prelínanie intelektu a fantázie na ceste pod povrch javov nášho sveta.

Lacná kniha Visions of Gerard (-70%)
'The piteousness of his little soft shroud of hair falling down his brow and swept aside by the hand over blue serious eyes'
Described by Kerouac as 'my most serious sad and true book', Visions of Gerard forms the first volume of his memoir cycle the 'Duluoz Legend'.
Based on Jack Kerouac's memories of the beloved older brother who died when he was a boy, it is unique among his novels for its dreamlike evocation of the sensations of childhood - its wisdom, anguish, intensity, innocence, joy and pain. It is a haunting exploration of the precariousness of existence.
'Called a "pain-tale" by Kerouac, it's the story of an almost divine, Buddha-like child wracked with sickness and suffering' Guardian

En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Star Wars Visions: Ronin
A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale. An original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology.
The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire.
Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith.
The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire . . . but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence.
Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side.
As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.
Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love.
When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one winter morning he is catapulted back to the brief time they spent playing together as children. Their unique spark is instantly reignited.
What comes next is a story of friendship and rivalry, fame and creativity, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, ultimately, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
