The Illustrated Story of Art
Great art movements and the paintings that inspired them. The Illustrated Story of Art is an innovative approach to understanding the history of art, from cave painting to the modern day, with pivotal works of art examined in the context of history, culture and the lives of their creators. This invaluable art reference book reveals the creative impulse behind every major art movement, from the Renaissance to Surrealism and abstract to pop art, with a visual timeline to show famous paintings and key events. Turning-point paintings that triggered movements are identified and explained as well as the influences behind the famous artworks such as technical advances, admired techniques of earlier artists, and changes in society. So you'll learn why Boudin's Beach Scene inspired the impressionist movement and why Monet's Grainstacks defined it. Vivid images of artistic masterpieces from each style and a glossary of terms make this an indispensable work of reference. Covering the evolution of each major art genre as well as featuring the famous paintings that ignited new artistic movements, The Illustrated Story of Art presents the history of art in a visually stunning way, that is perfect for art-lovers, exhibition-goers and anyone who appreciates great art.

Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, co-authored by her son Harry Whittaker, draws Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion.
1928, Paris
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious, talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn't dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word about who he really is.
As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has vowed to keep. But across Europe an evil is rising, and no-one's safety is certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more.
2008, the Aegean
The seven sisters are gathered together for the first time, on board the Titan to say a final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly.
To the surprise of everyone, it is the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts. But for every truth revealed, another question emerges. The sisters must confront the idea that their adored father was someone they barely knew. And even more shockingly: that these long-buried secrets may still have consequences for them today.

The Story of Tracy Beaker
Introducing Tracy Beaker, 10-year-old girl-wonder and the daughter of a famous Hollywood actress . . . sort of. Tracy Beaker’s not exactly sure what her mother does, because Tracy has been in foster care for as long as she can remember. She has a picture of her mother, who’s pretty enough to be in movies, so maybe she is. And maybe one day Tracy’s mother will show up and reclaim her long-lost daughter, and together they’ll have fabulous adventures. Then again, maybe she won’t. In the meantime, Tracy’s doing everything she can to take care of herself–even though she has to share her birthday cake with silly Petey Ingham just because they have the same birthday . . . and even though the other girls she lives with are mean and nasty and rude and horrible. Mostly. Then a journalist shows up to write a story about their orphanage, and she and Tracy strike up a special friendship. In a story written with humor and sensitivity, Tracy emerges as a spirited girl who’s not quite as tough as she lets everybody think she is.From the Hardcover edition.

The Story Of The Lost Child
Soon to be an HBO series, book four in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) Here is the dazzling saga of two women, the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila. In this book, life's great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women's friendship, examined in its every detail over the course of four books, remains the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. But now, she has returned to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from Naples. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Yet somehow this proximity to a world she has always rejected only brings her role as unacknowledged leader of that world into relief. Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.

Lacná kniha Slovakia Illustrated Encyclopedia of monuments (-70%)
The ambition of the illustrated encyclopaedia is to introduce a cultivated reader to the most extensive fund of architectural monuments and creative art relics in Slovakia. It is not an expert or art-historical publication describing or arranging the, often contradictory expert opinions. In the past decades, many of them have been collected in publications of this type. In contrast to scientific work, you will not encounter them there. On the contrary, we present painting, murals, altars, churches, castles, manor houses and historic town centres that only use their birth certificates, characteristics and forms to recount their history. The idea of this encyclopaedia`s was the reader to look closer, to establish relationships, to answer the questions of "why is it like that" when regarding the illustrations and photographs - or best, when visiting the sites directly. This publication aims to provide the largest possible scope of basic information - on where to find the beauty, on its orderers, creators, similar sites, the period and environment, in which it was created. Of course, many monuments do not have a known builder, painter, sculptor or craftsman. For most centuries, there were men - humble creators who did not feel the need for own presentation.
Even though no names are mentioned "at least" the work introduces them. You will also find the names of those who had the structures or pieces of art created and an explanation of the period in which the work was created. Current creators - artists usually assume a negative attitude to being questioned on the meaning of their work. Structures, sculptures and paintings of the past centuries hide messages that the period society understood. And often are very complicated. They include an enormous wealth of stories, fates, symbolism of the Old and New Testament, various legends, period reflections of science and literature. Some have their roots in the pre-Christian cultures. It is even possible to read the fortunes of people, orderers and viewers of these works. The period community looked much deeper at the shapes of architecture and the meaning of its details. In this publication, we are trying to point out at least a fraction of them.
Scenario and concept, draft, concept and coordination of 3D drawings, production of onsite photographic shooting, author of texts and annotations Peter Kresanek. Author of page on Slovak National Gallery and consultant Dusan Buran.
Book details:
1 109 entries
more than 5500 photographs with detailed descriptions

BEYOND THE STORY – A BTS tízéves története
AZ ELSŐ HIVATALOS KÖNYV --
amely a BTS tizedik születésnapjára jelenik meg, olyan történetekkel, amelyek túlmutatnak azon, ami már tudható a BTS-ről, köztük korábban nem látott fotókkal, videók QR kódjaival és minden információval az albumokról.
A BTS 2013. június 13-án kilépett a nagyvilágba, és most, 2023 júniusában a tizedik évfordulóját ünnepli. Azóta ikonikus, nemzetközi előadókká váltak és a csúcsra jutottak, ebben a jelentőségteljes pillanatban az első hivatalos könyvben visszatekintenek az idáig vezető eseményekre. Ennek során a BTS tovább táplálja a fényesebb napokhoz vezető erőt, és újabb lépést tesz meg az úton, amelyen senki más nem járt előtte.
A BTS eddigi utazásának személyes, színfalak mögötti történeteit interjúkon és Kang Myengseok - aki a több médiafelületen írt a K-popról és a koreai popkultúráról - több mint három éven át írt mélyreható riportjain keresztül meséli el. Hét - kronológiai sorrendbe rendezett - fejezetben, a BTS debütálását megelőző időktől kezdve a jelenig, a tagok friss hangja és véleménye egymással harmóniában mesél el egy őszinte, élettel teli és intenzív történetet. A kamera és külsőségek nélkül lefolytatott személyes interjúkban több szempontból mutatják be zenei útjukat és beszélnek annak jelentőségéről.
A könyvet a BTS tagjait egyenként és művészként bemutató portrék nyitják meg, és számos művészi fotó, a korábbi albumok dallistái és több mint 330 QR kód található benne. A BTS digitális előadóként az interneten keresztül kommunikált a világgal, és ez a könyv lehetővé teszi az olvasók számára, hogy azonnal hozzáférjenek az előzetesekhez, zenei videókhoz és egyéb online tartalmakhoz, amelyek elmélyítik a BTS-sztori kulcsmomentumainak megértését. A főbb mérföldköveket tartalmazó idővonallal kiegészülve a BEYOND THE STORY lenyűgöző archívum -- valóban mindent tartalmaz a BTS-ről, egyetlen kötetben.
