For anyone interested in a gifted, neglected 20th century artist (thoroughly trained at the Kent Thanet School of Art and subsequently the renowned London Central School of Arts & Crafts), this retrospective art selection should provide a fascinating link to the post-WWII period of English art. This selection includes Maggie’s early post-war years. These include pen/ink advertising and magazine/book illustrations. Early Watercolours include an unnamed London bridge and paintings done in France, 1947. In the 1960’s Maggie began painting in oils. This coincided with her semi-abstract works inspired by storm-blasted trees. Concurrently, her ‘romantic dream fantasy’ period also began, resulting in many outstandingly creative works. These latter concerned the darkness of loss and separation. Maggie’s imaginative work also included illustrations for projected children’s books. Maggie’s lino-cut work is represented here in its impressive exactness. Her pastel work is notable for its engaging incisiveness. As well as landscape oils, Maggie’s work offers vividly recognisable children’s and adult’s portraits. Examples of her house commission paintings demonstrate Maggie’s assured handling of architectural structure. Her last oil works often dealt with inner desolation. For instance, Maggie’s striking oil picture: The Widows. Influences are found in the work of Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Rene Magritte and Max Ernst. Important Central School teachers such as John Minton and Bernard Meninsky can also be detected as influencing Maggie’s evolving artistic craftsmanship.

Pokud existují tři věci, které posunou vaše fotografování, jsou to: kompozice, kompozice a kompozice. Bylo by možné to říci i jinak třemi slovy na K: kreativní kompozice, kámo. To třetí slovíčko, „kámo“, je možné dle libosti nahradit jiným, vaší přirozenosti bližším, třeba „kapišto?“ apod. Michael Freeman ve své nejnovější knize zúročil mnoho let své fotografické i pedagogické praxe a spolupráce s řadou vydavatelství prestižních časopisů i publikací. Staví před fotografa zásadní otázku: Jak jste spokojen se svými fotografiemi? Chcete se posunout dál? A odpovídá na ni jasně a konkrétně: Jde to, ale musíte probudit svoji kreativitu. Fotografující majitelé fotoaparátů jsou velmi často sváděni vějičkami typu: Tři rady (nebo pět, deset…), které hned a výrazně vylepší vaše fotografie. Tak jako neexistují žádné úžasné a 100% návody na rychlé zhubnutí, zbohatnutí nebo naučení se několika cizím jazykům, neexistuje ani žádný instantní návod na dobrou fotografii. Existuje ale několik cest, jak se naučit fotografovat lépe. Michael Freeman těch cest ukazuje 50. Jde o způsoby, jak probudit vlastní kreativitu a jak se naučit s ní pracovat. Kreativita není něco, co bylo někomu dáno a jinému odepřeno. Je však zapotřebí ji v sobě hledat a objevovat. Je možné naučit se pravidlo třetin a potom čekat, až se fotografie zlepší. Freemanova kniha 50 cest ke kreativní fotografii není seznamem několika pravidel a neobsahuje ani zázračné pilulky proti špatným fotografiím. Je to praktický, bezpečný a zasvěcený průvodce na cestě ke kreativní fotografii. Autor knihy, Michael Freeman, mezinárodně uznávaný fotograf a propagátor digitální fotografie, je českým čtenářům velmi dobře známý. Překlady většiny jeho bestsellerů vyšly ve vydavatelství Zoner Press, nejznámější z nich jsou Očima fotografa, Myslete jako fotograf, Dobrá fotografie nebo Perfektní expozice, které tuto publikaci skvěle doplňují.

Crying Freeman: Plačící drak je přístupný od osmnácti let výše. Nabízí příběh vraha, který se zamiluje do jedné ze svých obětí. Crying Freeman je kriminálka, ve které se spojuje romantika s brutální nelítostností. Je to jako příběh Romeo a Julie převyprávěný markýzem de Sade a natočený Tony Scottem. Japonsky přepálené emoce a osudovost se tu střetávají s tím, co se pohledu evropana může jevit jako naprostá amorálnost. To vše navíc naprosto precizně vykreslené s perfektně rozfázovanými akčními scénami. Text praví: Jmenuje se Jo Hinomura a je nájemným vrahem čínské mafie zvané Sto osm draků. V kriminálním podsvětí, které z něj má strach, je však známý jako Plačící drak, zabiják, který nad osudem svých obětí prolévá slzy. Mladý, krásný a citlivý umělec Jo byl svými dračími pány psychologicky naprogramován, aby zabíjel na rozkaz. Vůli svých pánů se vzepřít nemůže, oni však zase nemohou zastavit jeho slzy lítosti. Manga Crying Freeman, kterou napsal legendární Kazuo Koike, autor série Lone Wolf and Cub (Osamělý vlk a vlče), a nakreslil nedostižný Rjoiči Ikegami, je čtením pro dospělé se vším všudy: je temná, násilná, morálně složitá a eroticky nabitá. Po celém světě je považovaná za mistrovské dílo v oblasti komiksů pro dospělé a je jedním z klenotů mezi dnes již klasickými mangami.

Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943), podobne ako jeho slávny spisovateľský predchodca sir Arthur Conan Doyle, bol pôvodným povolaním lekár. Svoje medicínske poznatky a metódy práce dokázal dobre zužitkovať aj vo svojej literárnej tvorbe: stal sa duchovným otcom literárnej postavy prvého vedeckého detektíva, súdneho lekára Dr. Thorndyka, predobrazu dnešných forenzných vyšetrovateľov. Ešte aj dnes dýchajú jeho pátrania čarom a milou patinou zaprášeného chemického laboratória s Bunsenovým horákom. Dr. John Thorndyke - impozantný gentleman s neodmysliteľným zeleným kufríkom, v ktorom si nosí prenosné laboratórium, je predchodcom dnešného žánru forenznej detektívky. Nadväzuje na vedeckú, "chemickú" stránku svojho predobrazu - slávneho Sherlocka Holmesa. R. Austin Freeman vo svojich detektívnych príbehoch kladie dôraz na perfektne prepracovanú technickú stránku zločinu a pri jeho vyšetrovaní na vedecké skúmanie materiálnych stôp. Kosti zavraždených obetí spievajú: Dr. Thorndyke hovorí, že každý predmet vie zaspievať svoju pieseň, ak pozorne nastražíme uši. Všetky experimenty a teórie, ktoré spisovateľ autor využil vo svojich detektívkach, ako vedec aj sám otestoval v laboratóriu. Na základe poznatkov špecializovaných vied Dr. Thorndyke s brilantnou logikou vyvodzuje svoje neotrasiteľné závery, vedúce k odhaleniu vraha. Richard Austin Freeman má významné miesto vo vývine detektívneho žánru: ako prvý ešte pred pátrom Knoxom sformuloval detektívne pravidlá fair play a vyskúšal si aj experiment tzv. príbehu obráteného naruby (inverted story). S prekladom jeho detektívneho románu prichádza k nášmu čitateľovi absolútna detektívna klasika.

''A TRULY IMPORTANT BOOK’ JOHN HUMPHRYS''FASCINATING… SHOCKING'' SPECTATORWhat is paranoia? What makes us anxious? How can this be overcome?Daniel Freeman, Professor of Psychology at Oxford, has spent thirty years at the vanguard of paranoia research and treatment. This remarkable and moving book tells the story of that journey.For decades, conventional wisdom held that paranoia was only experienced by people with severe mental health problems and little could be done to rectify its disastrous effects. Paranoia gives us a front row seat as Freeman turns the traditional view on its head.He develops life-changing treatments for clinical paranoia – often using state-of-the-art technology like virtual reality. He reveals that suspicion is rife in society, with paranoia widespread, conspiracy theories rampant and emotion all too often trumping evidence. He discovers the causes of mistrust, including the role of genes, trauma, lack of sleep, worry, low self-confidence, cannabis use and hearing voices, and delves into the murky world of Covid-19 conspiracy theories. Lighting up the narrative throughout are the rarely heard voices of people whose lives have been almost wrecked by paranoia – and then in many cases transformed by Freeman’s groundbreaking treatments.This is also a practical book. Freeman shows how we can measure our own levels of mistrust. He explains how we can remedy things if those levels are higher than we’d like, because although mistrust can seem engrained, things can change for the better. Ultimately, it can be overcome. Compelling and compassionate, this is a gripping tale from the front line of suspicion – an impassioned plea for the urgent rebuilding of trust between us all.

Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling series. Bourne is back... Jason Bourne has faced many killers before, but none as dangerous as the assassin who calls himself Lennon. Bourne thought he had Lennon cornered in Iceland, only to have the killer escape in a fiery explosion. Now Lennon's trail leads Bourne to New York and then to Washington D.C. and the body count rises with each deadly encounter. Bourne believes the assassin has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid. The only clue to the group's agenda is a young German woman, murdered in D.C. on her way to a covert meeting. But the woman's entire identity turns out to be a lie, and news reports of her death have been strangely twisted and suppressed. Finding the truth about this woman may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon and uncover the conspiracy behind the Pyramid. But the chase comes with high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is digging into the mystery too, and the battle against Lennon and the Pyramid will soon put Abbey in the assassin's crosshairs. Bourne will need to use every bit of his tradecraft and his genius for mayhem to expose this web of lies and murder before Lennon kills the woman he loves.

While Chinelo Okparanta''s story ''Fatu'' confronts the end of a relationship under the spectre of new life, other writers look towards aging as an opportunity for rebirth, such as Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, who takes on the role of being her own elder, comforting herself in the ways that her grandmother used to. Finally, in his comic story ''Everyone at Dinner Has a Max Von Sydow Story,'' Dave Eggers suggests that sometimes stories don''t have neat or clean endings - that sometimes the middle is enough.With new writing from Sandra Cisneros, Colum McCann, Omar El Akkad and Mieko Kawakami, Freeman''s: Conclusions is a testament to the startling power of literature to conclude in a state of beauty, fear and promise.

An inspirational collection of the world's most beautiful scenic runs, selected by the editors of cult independent running magazine Like the Wind. Trail running is as simple as it sounds: just put one foot in front of the other, somewhere unpaved and outdoors. The opportunities it presents are endless, with a wide variety of routes that stretch over mountains, forests and deserts, in hot climates and frigid ones, through some of the most wild and beautiful places on Earth. Targeted at both novice and experienced runners, this book presents the finest trail-running locations around the world. From the heights of the Alps to the snowy expanses of the Arctic to the jungles of Latin America and the outback Down Under, each destination is brought to life by a different trail runner, showcasing exactly what makes each location so spectacular, as well as providing practical information to keep you moving on the ground. Compiled by the editors of Like the Wind, the first independent running magazine, each run offers an unparalleled experience, while the foreword was written by renowned American ultramarathon runner Dean Karnazes. As trail-running events assume the popularity and buzz of music festivals – tens of thousands of people run in some of the world’s toughest endurance races – this book offers a passport to exotic places and experiences, on and off the trail, at a time when getting off-grid and alone with yourself has never been more important.

Outsider Classics is Dead Ink''s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcasts. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Dick and Reggie are ''leather boys'', working-class London teens with an affinity for leather jackets and motorcycles who become friends through their involvement in a gang. For Dick, the money he gets from the gang''s thefts helps to support his ailing grandmother; for Reggie, membership in the gang provides relief from an unhappy home life and a loveless marriage. When Reggie decides to leave his unfaithful wife and move in with Dick, the two soon discover their feelings for each other are much stronger than mere friendship. As they make plans for their future together, will they find the happiness they seek, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy? The first novel to offer an authentic portrayal of love between ordinary, working-class young men, Gillian Freeman''s The Leather Boys is a groundbreaking classic of gay fiction that remains moving and compelling today. Freeman''s novel and its 1964 film adaptation played a vital part in liberalizing British attitudes towards homosexuality.

A monumental and exhilarating history of European thought, from the fall of Rome in the fifth century AD to the Scientific Revolution thirteen centuries later.The Awakening traces the recovery and refashioning of Europe''s classical heritage from the ruins of the Roman Empire. The process of preservation of surviving texts, fragile at first, was strengthened under the Christian empire founded by Charlemagne in the eighth century; later, during the High Middle Ages, universities were founded and the study of philosophy was revived. Renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought provided the intellectual impetus for the Renaissance of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, whose ideas – aesthetic, political and scientific – were disseminated across Europe by the invention of the printing press. Equally momentous was Europe''s encounter with the New World, and the resulting maritime supremacy which conferred global reach on Europe''s merchants and colonists. Vivid in detail and informed by the latest scholarship, The Awakening is powered not by the fate of kings or the clash of arms but by deeper currents of thought, inquiry and discovery, which first recover and then surpass the achievements of classical antiquity, and lead the West to the threshold of the Age of Reason. Charles Freeman takes the reader on an enthralling journey, and provides us with a vital key to understanding the world we live in today.Praise for The Awakening: ''The Awakening is a work of serious scholarship by an author who has clearly been everywhere, seen everything and read voraciously. But it is also a work written with great elan and, given its scope, undertaken with considerable courage'' Christopher Lloyd, Surveyor of the Queen''s Pictures, 1988-2005''The Awakening recounts the slow evolution of Western thought that restored legitimacy to independent examination and analysis, that eventually led to a celebration, albeit a cautious one, of reason over blind faith.'' Stan Prager''The Awakening is a very timely book and an excellently written and produced one. Freeman is a good host, a superb narrator and tells his story with aplomb'' International Times

Selected as a Book of the Year 2017 in the Guardian. 'Maggie Nelson's short, singular books feel pretty light in the hand... But in the head and the heart, they seem unfathomably vast, their cleverness and odd beauty lingering on' Observer. In 1969, Jane Mixer, a first-year law student at the University of Michigan, posted a note on a student noticeboard to share a lift back to her hometown of Muskegon for spring break. She never made it: she was brutally murdered, her body found a few miles from campus the following day. The Red Parts is Maggie Nelson's singular account of her aunt Jane's death, and the trial that took place some 35 years afterward. Officially unsolved for decades, the case was reopened in 2004 after a DNA match identified a new suspect, who would soon be arrested and tried. In 2005, Nelson found herself attending the trial, and reflecting with fresh urgency on our relentless obsession with violence, particularly against women. Resurrecting her interior world during the trial - in all its horror, grief, obsession, recklessness, scepticism and downright confusion - Maggie Nelson has produced a work of profound integrity and, in its subtle indeterminacy, deadly moral precision.
