Having spanned both banks of the Vltava River since 1357, Charles Bridge has become an inseparable part of Prague’s breathtaking panorama. Its foundation stone was laid by Emperor Charles IV himself, and despite facing numerous challenges over the centuries, the bridge still stands today. Over time, it has been adorned with numerous sculptures. With the exception of the bronze statue of St. John of Nepomuk, all 29 remaining statues and sculptural groups of significant saints are made of stone. Thanks to them, Prague’s oldest surviving stone bridge is a true masterpiece, unparalleled anywhere in the world – a must-see sight for any visitor to the city.

The long and thorny past of the Prague Jewish diaspora has left us with many monuments and even more stories that have won their unique place among other old Prague legends. When was the foundation stone of the Old New Synagogue laid? Was it really brought from Jerusalem by angels on their snow-white wings? Was the Golem the first artificial man in the world, or was he a man of flesh and bone, like any other mortal man? These and similar stories from the times when the Jewish ghetto began to form in the town, from the times when Josefov was thriving, and also from the times of the mediaeval Jewish pogroms, are contained in the book by M. Wagnerová mapping the history of the old Jewish Prague.

Alegorické pohádkové podobenství o povedené-nepovedené rybě, která má problém udržet směr, s plavaním je tak trochu na štíru, a tak raději chodí po dně, protože má nohy. Jenže i když se někdo narodí nedokonalý, ještě to neznamená, že je k ničemu. Ryba Chyba má sice špatný zrak, a tak nosí brýle, ale umí číst. Je jiná než ostatní běžné ryby, ale jediná dokáže zachránit domovský rybník, který byl vyškrtnutý ze Stříbropěnného seznamu, protože jeho vodník odešel na odpočinek, aby mohl nerušeně skládat básně. Ryba Chyba je novou moderní pohádkou významné současné autorky Magdaleny Wagnerové, tentokrát doplněnou osobitými ilustracemi akad. mal. Zdeňka Netopila, výtvarníka s výrazným autorským rukopisem, který společně s aktuálním textem obsahujícím morální poselství vytváří knihu (nejen) pro inteligentního dětského čtenáře.

Ferdinand Weinberger a Vilém, děd a vnuk, žijí ve společné domácnosti a dennodenně jsou vystavováni nelehkým zkouškám, které před ně staví jediná žena - manželka a babička. Hana Weinbergerová však není ani typická manželka, ani běžná babička, i když v obou případech jde o milující ženu, která však svým nonkonformním přístupem k životu staví laťku tolerance příliš vysoko. Ne každý v rodině je schopný a ochotný ji přeskočit. Co je pro milujícího manžela jediným možným řešením, i když nesnadným, je nepřijatelné pro dceru a nepochopitelné pro vnuka. Hana Weinbergerová žije život, který se neslučuje s běžnými představami ostatních. Jedinou výjimku tvoří zástupy jejích oddaných žáků, které Hana Weinbergerová s nebývalou obětavostí vyprovodila do života. A tak je navzdory své povaze a nátuře milovaná všemi, ať už výhradně či s připomínkami. Kde je však v takovém případě spravedlnost? Tuto otázku si postupně kladou členové její nejbližší rodiny, její milenci i vnější pozorovatelé. A každý musí nutně dospět k jiné odpovědi. Další prozaický počin spisovatelky a nakladatelské redaktorky Magdaleny Wagnerové tentokrát míří k autobiografickým motivům. Ilustracemi Zdeňka Netopila se publikace stává opravdovým knižním skvostem.

Delve into the world of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his Glasgow School of Art-trained contemporaries who forged a unique and distinct vision in both art and architecture at the end of the Victorian era. The Glasgow Style is the name given to the work of a group of young designers and architects working in Glasgow from 1890–1914. At its centre were four young friends who had trained at Glasgow School of Art; two architects and two artists – Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Herbert MacNair, Margaret Macdonald and Frances Macdonald – who were simply known by their friends and contemporaries as ‘The Four’. Their work was a personal vision in the new international style of the 1890s, Art Nouveau, and is perhaps best known for Mackintosh’s architecture and furniture. But at the root of this new style was a graphic language which all four shared.Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Art of The Four presents the most coherent story to date of this important group, concentrating on the entirety of their artistic imagery and output, far beyond the best known work of the 1890s, and charting the constantly changing relationships between the artists and their work.

She spends her time shopping, going to bridge parties and bringing up her children to be pleasant, clean and have nice manners. And yet she finds modern life increasingly baffling, her children aren''t growing up into the people she expected, and sometimes she has the vague disquieting sensation that all is not well in her life.

T. Joshi''s illuminating introduction and notes to each story.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
