Předkládaný katalog Arménské knižní umění v průběhu staletí ? "Ti, kdo pili z toků Ducha" vychází při příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy, která se uskuteční v Národní knihovně České republiky od 11. do 25. října 2016. Kniha obsahuje fotografie a popisky (ve třech jazycích ? angličtině, arménštině a češtině) sedmdesáti pěti manuskriptů a tisků, které vybral a okomentoval Haig Utidjian. Důraz je kladen na rané tisky, mj. vynikající editiones principes arménské Bible, Hymnáře a jiných liturgických knih. Zvláštního prostoru se dostalo dílům sv. Řehoře z Nareku a arménské církevní hudbě. Autor se zaměřil na představení typických rysů této tvorby, jež spočívá v jednotném propojování nejlepších dobových trendů evropské knižní ilustrace s prvky arménské tradice rukopisných iluminací. Publikace rovněž obsahuje významné příspěvky na témata přítomná na výstavě ? věnuje se také arménsko-českým literárním vztahům či genocidě Arménů v Osmanské říši během 1. světové války. Katalog má povahu vědeckého pojednání, může však sloužit též jako příruční kniha pro všechny milovníky krásných tisků či jako půvabný a nádherně ilustrovaný úvod do arménské kultury a spirituality. The present volume, published in connection with the Exhibition held in Prague's Klementinum "The Art of the Armenian Book through the Ages: ‘They who imbibed the effusions of the Spirit'” in 2016, includes photographs and descriptions in English, Armenian and Czech of seventy-five publications and manuscripts selected and presented by Haig Utidjian. There is an emphasis on early and rare publications, such as the magnificent editiones principes of the Armenian Bible, Hymnal and other liturgical volumes. The works of St. Gregory Narek and Armenian sacred music are particularly well covered. The author aims to present a most distinctive tradition ? one which succeeded in achieving a seamless combination of the best of contemporaneous European book illustration with elements of Armenian manuscript illumination; this may, in turn, serve as a metaphor for wider interactions in music and in spirituality, where too the Armenian tradition was enriched without losing its unique character. The volume includes substantial essays on a variety of related subjects, placing the exhibits in context, and also discussing Czech-Armenian literary interactions. The volume may be recommended as a handbook for researchers as well as a coffee-table volume for book lovers from all backgrounds ? not least those seeking an attractive and beautifully illustrated introduction to Armenian culture and spirituality.

Příběh o tom, jak původně partnerské směřování západní civilizace odbočilo na násilnou cestu nadvlády a dominance, která trvala pět tisíc let. Autorka rozlišuje dva modely lidské společnosti, dominanční a partnerský, přičemž dominanční model je založen na nadvládě jednoho pohlaví nad druhým, kdežto partnerský model předpokládá rovnoprávnou spolupráci. Ke zlomovému přechodu od partnerského modelu k modelu dominančnímu došlo kdysi v pravěku; dnes se začínají prosazovat různá hnutí preferující partnerský model, který by mohl lépe zajistit mírové přežití lidstva.

This monograph documents Haig Utidjian's research of recent years on the formation of the extant melodies of the Armenian Hymnal on the basis of the corpus of writings and transcriptions of the nineteenth-century Constantinopolitan musician and musicologist Ełia Tntesean (1834-1881). It serves to position the study of the nineteenth-century transcriptions of the melodies of the Armenian Hymnal on a substantially new basis, analysing particularly the manner in which the mediaeval neumatic notation was exploited in redacting the melodies that came to be recorded in the Limončean notational system. Instances are identified where Tntesean appears to have departed from his own avowed theoretical principles, choosing to afford precedence to implicit aesthetic criteria, as well as reflecting the influence of the quasi-improvisatory procedures of the time. Attention is also drawn to the valuable information that may be drawn from apparent idiosyncrasies in the deployment of the Limončean notation. This study is a major advance towards a fuller understanding of the manner in which the extant melodies of the Armenian Hymnal came to be constituted, and is set to stimulate a new wave of research on the music of the Armenian Hymnal and the notational systems that were employed to record it. It is enhanced by comparisons with other versions of the Hymnal from the same period, the investigation of parallels with the neighbouring practice of Ottoman makams, as well as fieldwork involving the surviving remnants of the oral tradition. It is also the first to give Tntesean his due as the greatest Armenian musicologist of the modern era.

Together, they mount a search for the Book of Ewolda, an esoteric tome that could reveal long-forgotten secrets about the Cathedral, the Grail and their connections to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Naïma has always known that her family came from Algeria – but up until now, that meant very little to her. Born and raised in France, her knowledge of that foreign country is limited to what she’s learned from her grandparents’ tiny flat in a crumbling French sink estate: the food cooked for her, the few precious things they brought with them when they fled.On the past, her family is silent. Why was her grandfather Ali forced to leave? Was he a harki – an Algerian who worked for and supported the French during the Algerian War of Independence? Once a wealthy landowner, how did he become an immigrant scratching a living in France?Naïma’s father, Hamid, says he remembers nothing. A child when the family left, in France he re-made himself: education was his ticket out of the family home, the key to acceptance into French society.But now, for the first time since they left, one of Ali’s family is going back. Naïma will see Algeria for herself, will ask the questions about her family’s history that, till now, have had no answers.Spanning three generations across seventy years, Alice Zeniter’s The Art of Losing tells the story of how people carry on in the face of loss: the loss of a country, an identity, a way to speak to your children. It’s a story of colonization and immigration, and how in some ways, we are a product of the things we’ve left behind.Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

Since TASCHEN released The Great American Pin-up, international interest in this distinctly American art form has increased exponentially. Paintings by leading artists such as Alberto Vargas, George Petty, and Gil Elvgren that sold for $ 2,000 in 1996 are going for $ 200,000 and more today. Pin-up—drawings, paintings, and pastels of an idealized female face and figure intended for public display—was produced between 1920 and 1970 for calendars, magazine covers, and centerfolds.The majority of original paintings were discarded by publishers and calendar companies after printing, making the surviving art that much more precious. This attractively priced edition showcases the top 10 names in the game. Each chapter opens with a reproduction of an original calendar or magazine cover by that artist.The reproduction quality of the paintings, pastels, and preparatory sketches that follow—largely sourced from the original art—invites the viewer to trace the brushstrokes, while the exquisite period calendars, vintage prints, and original model photos document the artists’ creative process. Much of these ephemera were photographed on-site at the historic Brown & Bigelow Company, home to the world’s largest archive of vintage pin-up calendars.

Fotografie z pozostalosti Karola Divalda sú dnes v majetku viacerých galérií a múzeí vo Francúzsku, Maďarsku, na Slovensku i v Poľsku. Fotografie publikované v tejto knihe boli vydané v roku 1887 a poskytla nám ich Slovenská národná galéria Bratislava. Originálne fotografie s rozmerom 15,6 x 11,8 cm boli nalepené na kartónoch o veľkosti 30,6 x 23,7 cm. Pod každým obrázkom je opis fotografie uvedený v dvoch jazykoch – maďarčine a nemčine a vyhradené právo na rozmnožovanie a meno fotografa. Fotografie boli umiestnené v ozdobnom kufríku z hrubých lepenkových dosiek potiahnutých červeným knihárskym plátnom, na ktorom je zlatým písmom plastickou razbou uvedený titul v maďarčine a nemčine: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Maďarský karpatský spolok). Kufrík obsahoval 30 fotografií. Mal rozmery: výška 26,0 cm, šírka 33,2 cm, hĺbka 4,5 cm Titulná stránka v dvoch jazykoch obsahuje názov albumu a meno autora fotografií. Tu sú tiež publikované početné ocenenia získané autorom fotografie na rôznych výstavách od roku 1869. Samozrejme, naše vydanie doznalo niekoľko zmien, daných nielen možnosťami súčasnej techniky, ale aj snahou umožniť širšej verejnosti mať v svojej knižnici doma nádherné Divaldovy fotografie. Vydanie v pôvodnej podobe v kufríkoch by bolo nákladné a v obmedzenom počte. Publikácia je teda v pevnej väzbe, pričom na obálke je obrázok pôvodného balenia fotografií. Originálna veľkosť fotografií je zachovaná a pridali sme aj popisky fotografií v slovenskom a anglickom jazyku. Zároveň uvádzame aj niekoľko životopisných dát o autorovi, Karolovi Divaldovi. ------------------------ Photographs from Karol Divald's estate are now owned by several galleries and museums in France, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. The photographs published in this book were published in 1887 and provided to us by the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. The original photographs measuring 15.6 x 11.8 cm were pasted on cartons measuring 30.6 x 23.7 cm. Below each image is a description of the photograph in two languages – Hungarian and German together with the reserved reproduction right and the name of the photographer. The photographs were placed in a decorative case made of thick cardboard plates covered with red book cloth, on which the title in Hungarian and German is engraved in gold lettering: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Hungarian Carpathian Association). The case contained 30 photographs. Its dimensions were: height 26.0 cm, width 33.2 cm, depth 4.5 cm The title page in two languages contains the title of the album and the name of the author of the photographs. Numerous awards won by the author of photography at various exhibitions since 1869 are also published here. Of course, our edition has undergone several changes, due not only to the possibilities of current technology, but also to the effort to allow the general public to have Divald's beautiful photographs in their library at home. An issue in its original form in cases would be expensive and limited in number. The publication is therefore in hardcover, while the cover contains a picture of the original package of photographs. The original size of the photos has been preserved and we have also added photo captions in Slovak and English. At the same time, we present here some biographical data about the author, Karol Divald.

We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Ryan Holiday, who dropped out of college at nineteen to serve as an apprentice to bestselling 'modern Machiavelli' Robert Greene and is now a media consultant for billion-dollar brands, draws on the philosophy of the Stoics to guide you in every situation, showing that what blocks our path actually opens one that is new and better. If the competition threatens you, it's time to be fearless, to display your courage. An impossible deadline becomes a chance to show how dedicated you are. And as Ryan discovered as Director of Marketing for American Apparel, if your brand is generating controversy - it's also potentially generating publicity. The Stoic philosophy - that what is in the way, is the way - can be applied to any problem: it's a formula invented more than 2,000 years ago, whose effectiveness has been proven in battles and board rooms ever since. From Barack Obama's ability to overcome obstacles in his election races, to the design of the iPhone, the stoic philosophy has helped its users become world-beaters.
