A Concrete Alliance - Vanessa Grossman

The compelling story of the significant relationship between communism and modern architecture in postwar France  The massive reshaping of French cities that took place between 1958 and 1981 is commonly regarded as a unique episode in which modernist ideals were tested on an unprecedented scale. Yet the history of postwar French modernism has never fully accounted for the influence of one of architecture’s most important institutional patrons, the French Communist Party (PCF). Drawing political theory and architectural history into conversation, Vanessa Grossman probes the shifting but enduring alliance between modern architecture and the PCF in the aftermath of the political crisis of 1958, prompted by the Algerian War of Independence and Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power.  Focusing on key episodes, Grossman discusses the work of Renée Gailhoustet (a rare female architect of her generation), Jean Renaudie, and members of the Atelier d’urbanisme et d’architecture (AUA), in collaboration with architectural elders such as Jean Prouvé and Oscar Niemeyer, who self-exiled to France, and in relation to contemporary Marxist thinkers such as philosophers Louis Althusser and Henri Lefebvre. Grossman exposes how communist politics and architectural modernism were mutually reinforcing ideologies that circulated in France across national and international networks of architects, urban planners, civil servants, intellectuals, activists, and politicians. Offering a new understanding of the postwar realization that architecture, particularly housing, could be employed as a political tool, this highly original book reveals the meaningful dialogue between French communism and architectural modernism.

The People Immortal - Vasily Grossman

One of Grossman''s three great war novels - alongside Life and Fate and Stalingrad."A significant, valuable addition to Grossman''s small but powerful body of work" WILLIAM BOYD"A remarkable novel that illuminates the terrible realities of Barbarossa and the banal horror of warfare with incomparable understanding and insight" JONATHAN DIMBLEBY"There are always good reasons for reading Grossman, but few times are as resonant as our own" Financial Times"At the heart of his writing lies a tireless humanity and empathy" Telegraph"Grossman combines a journalist''s eye with a novelist''s empathy" SpectatorSet during the catastrophic defeats of the war''s first months, it tracks a Red Army regiment that wins a minor victory in eastern Belorussia but fails to exploit this success. A battalion is then entrusted with the task of slowing the German advance, and eventually encircled, before ultimately breaking out and joining with the rest of the Soviet forces.Grossman''s descriptions of the natural world - and his characters'' relationship to it - are both vivid and unexpected, as are his memorable character sketches: eleven-year-old Lionya is determined to hang on to his toy revolver as he walks a long distance behind German lines; his defiant grandmother slaps a German officer in the face and is shot; Kotenko, a fiercely anti-Soviet peasant who initially welcomes the Germans, hangs himself in despair when they treat him with contempt; and Semion Ignatiev, a womanizer and gifted story-teller, turns out to be the boldest and most resourceful of the rank-and file soldiers.Grossman spent most of the war years close to the front line. But The People Immortal is far from being mere morale-boosting propaganda. On the contrary, as letters included in this volume make clear, it was read as a textbook, and as a work of military education. This edition includes not only the unredacted novel itself, translated here for the first time since 1946, but also a wealth of background material.A heavily redacted English translation of The People Immortal was published in 1946. This current edition is the first that reflects Grossman''s original text.Translated from the Russian by Robert and Elizabeth Chandler

The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewry - Vasily Grossman

The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewryis a collection of eyewitness testimonies, letters, diaries, affidavits, and other documents on the activities of the Nazis against Jews in the camps, ghettoes, and towns of Eastern Europe. Arguably, the only apt comparism is to The Gulag Archipelago of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This definitive edition of The Black Book, including for the first time materials omitted from previous editions, is a major addition to the literature on the Holocaust. It will be of particular interest to students, teachers, and scholars of the Holocaust and those interested in the history of Europe.By the end of 1942, 1.4 million Jews had been killed by the Einsatzgruppen that followed the German army eastward; by the end of the war, nearly two million had been murdered in Russia and Eastern Europe. Of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, about one-third fell in the territories of the USSR. The single most important text documenting that slaughter is The Black Book, compiled by two renowned Russian authors Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman. Until now, The Black Book was only available in English in truncated editions. Because of its profound significance, this new and definitive English translation of The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewry is a major literary and intellectual event.From the time of the outbreak of the war, Ehrenburg and Grossman collected the eyewitness testimonies that went into The Black Book. As early as 1943 they were planning its publication; the first edition appeared in 1944. During the years immediately after the war, Grossman assisted Ehrenburg in compiling additional materials for a second edition, which appeared in 1946 (in English as well as Russian).Since the fall of the Soviet regime, Irina Ehrenburg, the daughter of Ilya Ehrenburg, has recovered the lost portions of the manuscript sent to Yad Vashem. The texts recovered by Ms. Ehrenburg include numerous documents that had been censored from the original manuscript, as well as items that had been hidden by the Grossman family. In addition, she verified and, where appropriate, corrected the accuracy of documents that had already appeared in earlier editions of The Black Book.

The Psychoanalytic Encounter and the Misuse of Theory - Lee Grossman

In clear, accessible language, Lee Grossman addresses the disjuncture between analytic literature and clinical work in an effort to render analytic theorizing more representative of clinical experience. Pointing out the ways in which analytic literature can fail to capture the intensity of feeling and the stumbling, lurching, working in the dark that captures much of clinical engagement, Grossman shows how incomprehensibility is sometimes mistaken for wisdom. As an alternative, Grossman shows how attention to what he calls the syntax of thought can naturally define three different broad categories of life experience: the omnipotence of the neurotic, the wishful, short-sighted thinking of the perverse, and the concrete, disordered thinking of the psychotic. Using rich clinical material, interspersed with detailed exposition and artful satire, Grossman departs from conventional theoretical writing to provide new ways of conceptualising analytic therapy. Addressing analytic therapy as an encounter between two people, both governed by forces about which they know very little, this book provides essential insights for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and other clinical practitioners both in training and in practice.

Strane has been accused of sexual abuse by a former student, who reaches out to Vanessa, and now Vanessa suddenly finds herself facing an impossible choice: remain silent, firm in the belief that her teenage self willingly engaged in this relationship, or redefine herself and the events of her past. But how can Vanessa reject her first love, the man who fundamentally transformed her and has been a persistent presence in her life?

The Thinking Heart - David Grossman

*Winner of the Heinrich Heine Prize for Literature*A hundred and fifty years of conflict. What does that do to a person’s soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier?International Booker Prize-winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:How could this massacre have happened?How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace. Ultimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?

Povídky Šimka a Grossmanna - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Původní LP album 1218 0434 "Povídky Šimka a Grossmanna" vydal Supraphon v roce 1978 - některé písně a povídky již digitálně vyšly na různých CD albech, ale LP v původní podobě a sestavě vychází poprvé i s původním komentářem Miloslava Šimka: Dobrý den, vážená přátelé! Upřímně Vás vítám nad deskou povídek Šimka a Grossmanna, které jsme s Jirkou Grossmannem psali nejprve pro klub Olympik ve Spálené ulici, a později pak pro divadlo Semafor. Nejvíce jsme jich četli v Návštěvních dnech, což byly zprvu vlastně literárně hudební večery. Dobře je pamatují i písničkáři Mirek Paleček a Michael Janík, kteří v těchto pořadech vystupovali jako hosté. Proto jsem je pozval i na veřejnou nahrávku této desky, aby nám atmosféru někdejších Návštěvních dnů alespoň trochu přiblížili. A nyní mi dovolte několik slov k povídkám, zejména k těm, které na desce předčítám. Jejich psaní bylo jistě ovlivněno i tím, že já jsem nějakou dobu učil a Jirka se asi dvakrát přišel podívat do mých hodin, převlečen za inspektora. Když jsem začal učit na devítileté střední škole v Praze Střešovicích, byla mi svěřena kromě jiných předmětů i výuka hudební výchovy. Kdo mě slyšel zpívat, ví, že to byl zločin spáchaný na mně i dětech. Když se to Jirka dozvěděl, smál se – podle mě až zbytečně dlouho a nahlas. Ale všechno zlé je k něčemu dobré. Díky tomu, že jsem vyučoval hudební výchově, vznikla povídka „Výchovný koncert“. Jinou událost školního života, na kterou jistě nelze zapomenout a na kterou jsme pochopitelně nezapomněli ani my s Jirkou, je bezesporu branné cvičení, jak se ostatně jmenuje i další příběh. Jednou, když Jirka ležel v nemocnici na Karlově náměstí – to už na něj útočila nemoc – jsme v pokojíku, který nám vyhradil pan primář, sepsali povídku „Jak jsem onemocněl“. Na ní je vidět Jirkův obrovský elán. Moc jsem to u něho obdivoval, ani v době nemoci neztrácel smysl pro humor. Jednou z našich nejpopulárnějších povídek v době, kdy jsme ještě hráli v klubu Olympik, byla povídka nazvaná „Můj první mejdan“. Museli jsme ji číst, kdekoliv jsme se objevili, diváci si nám o ni psali, sami si ji opisovali. Po letech na ni vzpomínal jeden mladík na jakési besedě a ptal se nás, jestli také někdy popíšeme studentský večírek. A my tenkrát slíbili, že se o to pokusíme. „Maturitní večírek“ patří mezi poslední povídky, které jsme s Jiřím Grossmannem napsali. A jestliže na této desce je na konci zařazena naopak jedna z našich prvních povídek „Quido shání nevěstu“, je to proto, že na počátky své spolupráce s Jirkou vzpomínám snad nejraději. Byli jsme bezesporu ovlivněni němými groteskami, které jsme milovali a ochotně chodili všude tam, kde se zrovna promítaly. Proto i v „Quidovi“ do sebe lidi hodně strkají, ba i házejí po sobě šlehačkou. Váš Miloslav Šimek

More Than I Love My Life - David Grossman

*LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE*An epic, deeply moving novel about the power of love and loving with courage - from the Man Booker International Prize-winning author of A Horse Walks into a Bar.On a kibbutz in Israel in 2008, Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera, the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit family. But festivities are interrupted by the arrival of Nina: the iron-willed daughter who rejected Vera''s care; and the absent mother who abandoned Gili when she was still a baby.Nina''s return to the family after years of silence precipitates an epic journey from Israel to the desolate island of Goli Otok, formerly part of Yugoslavia. It was here, five decades earlier, that Vera was held and tortured as a political prisoner. And it is here that the three women will finally come to terms with the terrible moral dilemma that Vera faced, and that permanently altered the course of their lives.''More Than I Love My Life... is a profound testament to the emotional power of fiction and shows why some critics regard Grossman as a candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature.''

Jak vycvičit psa s pomocí lásky a vědy - Annie Grossman

Konečně kniha o výcviku psů, která dává smysl jak pro psy, tak i pro jejich majitele - a využívá metody pozitivního posilování založené na vědeckých poznatcích. Po generace slavní trenéři tvrdili, že majitelé psů musí nad svými mazlíčky "dominovat", a kritizovali ty, kteří se své psy odvážili hýčkat láskou. Kniha Jak vycvičit psa s pomocí lásky a vědy představuje moderní, vědecky podložený přístup k výcviku psů, který ukazuje, že chování milovaných mazlíčků lze měnit i bez nátlaku a násilí. Novinářka a trenérka psů Annie Grossman rozebírá, co pozitivní posilování skutečně znamená, a ukazuje, že "dobrý výcvik psů" může být i klíčem k lepšímu pochopení nás samotných.

The Alliance - Matt Brolly

Four cities, four killers, four murders. The Alliance is just getting started.When four unconnected serial killers simultaneously commit identical murders across four different US cities, FBI Special Agent Shannon Wallace faces an unprecedented threat—a cooperative of killers working in unison. Each homicide is witnessed by a survivor, and now these lucky ones need to decide how to tell their stories to the world.Their posts about the horrific murders create a media storm and a new term is soon coined for the killers: The Alliance. As they recruit new killers into their ranks and more innocent people linked to the initial murders are killed it becomes clear that Wallace is dealing with an unprecedented threat—a deadly alliance formed to terrorize the nation with coordinated strikes.With the killers always one step ahead, the very fabric of society threatens to unravel and Wallace battles to decipher The Alliance’s endgame before they dismantle civilization city by city. In a desperate race against time, can Wallace uncover the members and motives of the Alliance and end their reign of terror before more victims wind up dead.

Vanessa Bell

A stunning display of the vibrant and wide-ranging talent of Vanessa Bell in the first catalogue devoted to the artist.Vanessa Bell (1879–1961) has been known as the still, quiet centre around which the Bloomsbury Group revolved,. She was renowned for her beauty, her complex romantic entanglements and, later, her domestic gravitas – and as the sister of Virginia Woolf. But Bell was also one of the most advanced British artists of her time, with her own distinctive vision, boldly interpreting new ideas about art which were brewing in France and beyond.This publication beautifully showcases Bell’s pioneering oil paintings, photographs, ceramics, fabrics, decorative screens and works on paper in a revelatory affirmation of her vibrant and wide-ranging talent. Including more than 180 colour plates, Vanessa Bell is a definitive record of Bell’s accomplishments. The book is enhanced with photography of Charleston, the Sussex farmhouse that she occupied with creative flair alongside Duncan Grant and the rest of her unconventional family.With sections devoted to portraiture, landscape, still life, design, domestic scenes and female subjects, the book gathers together a rich chorus of voices – from renowned Bloomsbury scholars to emerging experts – delivering a fresh view of an intrepid modern artist seen clearly on her own terms at last.

My Cousin Maria Schneider - Vanessa Schneider

"Lovingly written" Deborah Harry"An exquisite portrait of a tragic heroine" Violaine HuismanA spare, heartbreaking memoir and tribute to Maria Schneider, the 1970s movie starlet who catapulted to fame in the controversial film Last Tango in Paris-only to live the rest of her life plagued by scandal-as told from the perspective of her adoring younger cousin.The late French actress Maria Schneider is perhaps best known for playing Jeanne in the provocative film Last Tango in Paris, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and released to international shock and acclaim in 1972. It was Maria''s first major role, alongside film legend Marlon Brando, when she was barely eighteen years old. The experience would haunt her for the rest of her life, traumatizing her and sparking a tabloid firestorm that only ceased when she began to retreat from the public eye nearly two decades later.To Maria''s much younger cousin, Vanessa Schneider, Maria was a towering figure of another kind-a beautiful and fearsome fixture in Vanessa''s childhood, a rising star turned pariah whose career and struggles with addiction won the family shame and pride in equal measure. Here, Vanessa recounts the challenges of their overlapping youths and fraught adulthood and reveals both the tragedy and inevitability of Maria''s path in a family plagued by mental illness and in a society rife with misogyny.Unsentimental and suffused with deep love, My Cousin Maria Schneider is the story of a talented artist and the cousin who admired her, and of exploitation and how its lingering effects can reverberate through a lifetime.

Vanessa Bell - Wendy Hitchmough

One of Britain’s most radical and influential artists working in the first decades of the twentieth century, Vanessa Bell was a pioneer for professional women  Vanessa Bell was a leading figure within the Bloomsbury Group and known for her unconventional lifestyle, but her work as a painter, designer, and decorator has often been overlooked and relegated within the bombastic, male-dominated field of British modernism.  With new research, including previously unpublished letters, Wendy Hitchmough explores the ways in which Bell (1879–1961) forged new pathways as a modernist woman. Writing openly about depression and mental health at a time when the subject was stigmatised, as well as challenging taboos surrounding women’s bodies, Bell exploited the patriarchal society that oppressed her. She responded to the nudes and pastoral scenes of Cézanne, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse with themes of miscarriage and motherhood. She exhibited with her partner, Duncan Grant, and comparisons between their parallel careers highlight the gender disparities that shaped her life and work.  Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical celebrates the artist’s trailblazing approach to art as well as life, her rejection of conventions, and the challenge she posed to the structures of early twentieth-century society.

A Bigger Picture - Vanessa Nakate

‘Vanessa Nakate continues to teach a most critical lesson. She reminds us that while we may all be in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat.’ - Greta ThunbergNo matter your age, location or skin colour, you can be an effective activist.Devastating flooding, deforestation, extinction and starvation. These are the issues that not only threaten in the future, they are a reality. After witnessing some of these issues first-hand, Vanessa Nakate saw how the world’s biggest polluters are asleep at the wheel, ignoring the Global South where the effects of climate injustice are most fiercely felt.Inspired by a shared vision of hope, Vanessa’s commanding political voice demands attention for the biggest issue of our time and, in this rousing manifesto for change, shows how you can join her to protect our planet now and for the future.Vanessa realized the importance of her place in the climate movement after she, the only Black activist in an image with four white Europeans, was cropped out of a press photograph at Davos in 2020. This example illustrates how those who will see the biggest impacts of the climate crisis are repeatedly omitted from the conversation. As she explains, ‘We are on the front line, but we are not on the front page.’Without A Bigger Picture, you’re missing the full story on climate change.‘An indispensable voice for our future.’ - Malala Yousafzai‘A powerful global voice.’ - Angelina Jolie

Concrete Jungle

Combine concreteÂ’s stoicism with luscious vegetative environments and you get to the language of tropical modernism. In continuity with its founding principles from the mid 20th century, todayÂ’s architectural visionaries renew the use of raw materials, such as exposed concrete, to explore functionality rather than aesthetics.No matter if works are created in total symbiosis with the tropical landscape or surrounded by flourishing nature, Concrete Jungle presents the dichotomy of the rough material being softened by interaction with the interior and exterior. When gray meets green a never ending range of impressions awakens.

V dôsledku finančnej krízy v roku 2008 sa život Vanessy O´Brienovej odrazu obrátil hore nohami. Po rokoch na poste medzinárodne úspešnej manažérky sa jej kariéra zrútila ako domček z karát a ona začala hľadať nový zmysel života. Rozhodla sa pre celkom nepravdepodobný cieľ: vyliezť na Mount Everest.O dva roky neskôr zastala na vrchole sveta. A odtiaľ pokračovala ďalej.Už ako tínedžerka dobre vedela, čo znamená sama na vlastnú päsť tvrdo drieť a pretĺkať sa životom po tom, ako utrpela zničujúcu stratu, ktorá jej rozbila rodinu. Vanessa počas horolezeckých výstupov ako dobrodružka zisťovala svoje možnosti a hranice, až z nej vyrástla prieskumníčka s vysokohorským nadhľadom na meniaci sa svet – a s novým poslaním podeliť sa o svoje znalosti a vášeň s ľuďmi na celom svete. Vanessina cesta, vyrozprávaná srdečne a s humorom, ktorá viedla z amerického predmestia až do Zóny smrti na Evereste, oba póly Zeme, a napokon na najnebezpečnejší vrchol K2, je príbehom o odolnosti, vyššom cieli a odvahe prekonať každú prekážku.

Vanessa Bell

This publication, together with the exhibition it accompanies, presents the largest ever survey of work by Vanessa Bell (1879–1961). Described in 1923 as ‘the most important woman painter in Europe’, Bell was a pioneering modernist and founding member of the Bloomsbury Group, a circle of influential English artists, writers and intellectuals in the first half of the twentieth century.The book traces Bell’s explorations into the Italian Renaissance, her encounters with the European avant-garde, including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, and her leading role in social and cultural activities such as the Friday Club, a group of artists founded in 1905, as well as the design enterprise Omega Workshops. It also looks at the key contributions Bell made towards the development of abstract art, creating what friend and art critic Roger Fry described as ‘visual music’.Collaborations formed an essential part of Bell’s approach to art, including with her sister, the writer Virginia Woolf, and the artist Duncan Grant, with whom Vanessa Bell’s all-encompassing approach to art found its ultimate expression in Charleston, the farmhouse they shared in East Sussex.Through over 130 works of art produced across her entire career this book examines the development of Bell’s landscapes, still lifes and portraits alongside her wider approach to creativity through design, furniture, ceramics and drawings.
