Ručně sešívaná vazba. Zadní kapsa pro poznámky. Zesílené listy, kterými neprosvítá inkoust. Velikost midi - 130 x 180 mm. Gramáž papíru 100 gsm. 176 stran. Nelinkovaný. Umění a řemeslo Jeden z nejvlivnějších návrhářů 19. stolení, William Morris, se snažil znovu zavést bohatý kvalitní a jednotný styl do dekorativního umění, atributy, jež považoval za ztracené díky pokroku. William Morris (1834 – 1896) byl jedním z nejslavnějších zastánců hnutí Arts and Crafts. Upřednostňoval ideál řemeslníků a jejich hrdost z vlastního díla před odlidšťujícím náporem průmyslové revoluce. Při vytváření vzorů tkané a potištěné textilie se rozhodl pracovat se starověkou technikou tisku. Tvrdil, že každá výzdoba je marná, pokud vám nepřipomene něco z vás. Pro své vzory hledat inspiraci z přírodního prostředí kolem sebe, tapiserií, starých tisků herbářů a také z ostrosti a množství detailů středověkého umění. Jeho ztvárnění antických květin a rostlin, hloubka tónů a magická gradace odstínů se staly klasikou v návrhu dekorativního umění, včetně naší kolekce William Morris.

Proč Západ vládne - Ian Morris
Oblast světa, kterou dnes označujeme jako Západ, získala díky průmyslové revoluci v 19. století světovou nadvládu, která trvá dodnes. Nicméně nyní, na začátku 21. století, se začínají šířit obavy, že nastupující hospodářská síla Číny a Indie znamená konec Západu jako globální supervelmoci. Jsou tyto obavy opodstatněné? A proč se vlastně do takto dominantní pozice v minulosti dostaly zrovna státy Západu? Britský historik a archeolog Ian Morris se ve své vlivné knize zaměřuje na vzorce historie v horizontu tisíců let a přináší zajímavou odpověď na obě tyto otázky. Klíčem k nadvládě Západu nebyla kultura, rasové rozdíly nebo výjimečné výkony jedinců. Zásadní byla role geografie, která určovala, jak si byli místní lidé schopni ve svých každodenních životech poradit s nedostatkem surovin, nemocemi, migrací nebo proměnami klimatu. Souhra zeměpisných faktorů a lidské vynalézavosti přitom pokračuje a svět se díky tomu podle Morrise bude nadále proměňovat, což poznamená i velmocenské postavení vyspělých zemí. Kniha je zásadním příspěvkem k dějinám naší civilizace a skvělým výchozím bodem k porozumění současné geopolitické situaci.

Dennis Morris
A career retrospective on one of the all-time great photographers of both music and black culture, Dennis Morris. When we think of the trailblazing photographer Dennis Morris’s work, music is right there. Morris’s adventures in the 1970s reggae and punk scene laid the groundwork for a six-decade career.It all began with Bob Marley: Morris doorstepped Marley in his early teens while skipping school and went on to capture much of Marley’s tour, which launched his career as a music photographer. He later became the official photographer for the Sex Pistols, and for John Lydon’s next project, Public Image Limited, Morris was art director and designer as well as taking iconic images for the band. He captured the greats of reggae and roots music, from Lee 'Scratch' Perry to Toots and Jimmy Cliff, forming friendships with many of the acts.Morris's documentary and street photography work, with roots in his experiences as a Black teenager in 1970s Britain, bring us visionary projects that explore race, politics and cultural identity. From the miner's strike to squat protests, from civil rights organizations to pop-up studio portraits, his work was a reckoning with his new home, capturing eccentricity and individual spirits with his camera. Edited by Laurie Hurwitz, this book unfolds in two electrifying parts: the first unravels Morris’s lens on race, culture and identity in 1970s Britain, while the second pulses with encounters with music legends like Patti Smith, Gregory Isaacs, The Stone Roses and Radiohead.With contributions from agnès B and Sean O’Hagan, the book will delight photography fans and music lovers alike. It includes previously unseen images, and is supported by an internationally touring exhibition, presenting Morris’s influential work in depth for the first time.

The Ashtray - Errol Morris
Filmmaker Errol Morris offers his perspective on the world and his powerful belief in the necessity of truth. In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result.  At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investigation as The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War. Kuhn, meanwhile, was—and, posthumously, remains—a star in his field, the author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that has sold well over a million copies and introduced the concept of “paradigm shifts†to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk.  The Ashtray tells why—and in doing so, it makes a powerful case for Morris’s way of viewing the world, and the centrality to that view of a fundamental conception of the necessity of truth. “For me,†Morris writes, “truth is about the relationship between language and the world: a correspondence idea of truth.†He has no patience for philosophical systems that aim for internal coherence and disdain the world itself. Morris is after bigger game: he wants to establish as clearly as possible what we know and can say about the world, reality, history, our actions and interactions. It’s the fundamental desire that animates his filmmaking, whether he’s probing Robert McNamara about Vietnam or the oddball owner of a pet cemetery. Truth may be slippery, but that doesn’t mean we have to grease its path of escape through philosophical evasions. Rather, Morris argues powerfully, it is our duty to do everything we can to establish and support it.  In a time when truth feels ever more embattled, under siege from political lies and virtual lives alike, The Ashtray is a bracing reminder of its value, delivered by a figure who has, over decades, uniquely earned our trust through his commitment to truth. No Morris fan should miss it.

Jan Morris - Paul Clements
'A marvel of clarity, fluency, and (Morris's favourite word in her final days) kindness.' The Sunday Times'A measured and elegant biography that Morris aficionados will find fascinating.' The TimesThe first full account of a truly remarkable life. When Jan Morris passed away in 2020, she was considered one of Britain's best-loved writers. The author of Venice, Pax Britannica, Conundrum, and more than fifty other books, her work was known for its observational genius, lyricism, and humour, and had earned her a passionate readership around the world. Morris's life was no less fascinating than her oeuvre. Born in 1926, she spent her childhood amidst Oxford's Gothic beauty and later participated in military service in Italy and the Middle East, before embarking on a career as an internationally feted foreign correspondent. From being the only journalist to join the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 to covering the trial of Adolf Eichmann, Morris's reportage spanned many of the twentieth century's defining moments. However, public success masked a private dilemma that was only resolved when she transitioned genders in the 1960s, becoming renowned as a transgender pioneer. She went on to live happily with her wife, Elizabeth, in Wales for another five decades, and never stopped writing and publishing. Here, for the first time, the many strands of Morris's rich and at times paradoxical life are brought together. Based on a wealth of interviews, archival material, and hitherto unpublished documents, Jan Morris: life from both sides portrays a person of extraordinary talent, curiosity, and joie de vivre.

They share their thoughts as they stood at the edge of their research, risking life and tempting death as they penned their dispatches from afar; enduring the proximity of active lava-spewing volcanos in Australia; suffering starvation and isolation in the harsh tundra of the Arctic; rescuing trapped kids in hazardous caves in Thailand; plunging into the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean to excavate the history of the Titanic; communicating with the other side of the galaxy; and so much more, all to quench the insatiable curiosity of humanity—and still, humanity strives to discover more.Using the source material and interviews with the explorers, Letters from the Edge offers a path to understanding the edge of our knowledge, and ultimately, to understanding ourselves.

News from Nowhere - Morris William
''The only English utopia since More''s that deserves to be remembered as literature.''News from Nowhere (1890) is the best-known prose work of William Morris. The novel describes the encounter between a visitor from the nineteenth century, William Guest, and a decentralized and humane socialist future. Set over a century after a revolutionary upheaval in 1952, these ''Chapters from a Utopian Romance'' recount his journey across London and up the Thames to Kelmscott Manor, Morris''s own country house in Oxfordshire. Drawing on the work of John Ruskin and Karl Marx, Morris''s book is not only an evocative statement of his egalitarian convictions but also a distinctive contribution to the utopian tradition. Morris''s rejection of state socialism and his ambition to transform the relationship between humankind and the natural world, giveNews from Nowhere a particular resonance for modern readers.The text is based on that of 1891, incorporating the extensive revisions made by Morris to the first edition.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Decorative Arts: Their Relation to Modern Life and Progress and The Manifesto of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings - Morris Will
William Morris is perhaps best known today for the beautiful textile designs he created under the banner of Morris & Co, which continue to decorate homes around the globe. As one of the leading lights of British socialism, however, he is less well known, and this series of Morris''s Manifestos seeks to highlight his extraordinary contribution to the literary canon on subjects socialist and artistic.The second in the Morris''s Manifestos series, The Decorative Arts is a passionate argument against the homogenisation of production, and a cry for art to make itself seen in design – ''art will make our streets as beautiful as the woods, as elevating as the mountainsides.''This edition also includes The Manifesto of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, the society founded by William Morris and his architect friend Philip Webb, which sought to oppose the ''destructive restoration'' that was going on in ancient buildings at the time.

Morris Minor - Gillian Bardsley
At its launch in 1948 the Morris Minor was an exciting and fresh concept, with radical engineering and daring ‘American’ styling.Morris Motors had given a young engineer named Alec Issigonis his first chance to head up a design team and, though he would become most famous for the Mini ten years later, the Morris Minor was just as innovative in its time. Manufactured for twenty-three years, some 1.6 million would be made before production ended in 1972. Behind the Minor’s success as the first British car to reach 1 million sold, however, there was a fierce battle to get it into production in the face of opposition from the company’s founder and chairman, Lord Nuffield.Sold as an estate car, a convertible and a van, and used in motor racing and rallying, the versatile Morris Minor was much loved as a production car and has retained its popularity as a classic, with many clubs devoted to keeping it on the road. Using period illustrations from the BMC archive, Gillian Bardsley tells the story of this iconic British car.This book is part of the Britain’s Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain’s past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with the Morris Minor in all its variety.

101 Surrealists - Desmond Morris
A concise compendium of the lives and work of the 101 most significant Surrealists by one of the last surviving members of the movement, bestselling author and artist Desmond Morris, who knew several of the key participants personally. 2024 marks the centenary of Surrealism, one of the most influential artistic movements of the modern era. In 1924, André Breton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto, a call to arms which established Surrealism as a literary and artistic movement.Rather than attempting to analyse the work of the Surrealists, bestselling author and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris focuses on them as remarkable individuals. What were their personalities, their predilections, their character strengths and flaws? Did they enjoy a social life or were they loners? Were they bold eccentrics or timid recluses? Featuring 101 artists, from the famous – Duchamp, Dali, Magritte, Miro, Carrington, Kahlo, Picabia, Ernst and others – to the neglected – Mesens, Rimmington, Sage, Fini, Bellmer, Colquhoun and Gonzalez – this book draws on the author’s personal knowledge of the Surrealists, capturing in concise form their life histories, idiosyncrasies and often-complex love lives. Surrealism was both spectacular and international, shaped by the darkest, most irrational workings of the unconscious.Shocking, witty and always entertaining, Morris's potted summaries and punchy anecdotes illuminate striking variations in artistic approach to the Surrealist philosophy, both in the artists’ works and lives. A complement to Morris's earlier biographical volumes, 101 Surrealists encapsulates each artist in new and abridged texts that convey with immediacy the impact and significance of each of the 101 artists featured.
