William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love - Philip Hoare
How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protest…Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake.‘A life-changing book’ The Times, Book of the Week‘A poetic fever dream’Telegraph‘Queer in all senses of the word’ Neil Tennant‘Undoubtedly Hoare’s masterpiece’ Olivia LaingIn 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero – a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them.In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.‘A book that is neither Blake biography nor critical analysis nor legacy-tracing nor personal odyssey but a capacious mixing of them all … a joyful and dizzying romp through the stories of those who came under Blake’s posthumous spell’ Philip Marsden,Spectator ‘Beneath the leaps and returns, the book is skilfully structured, following Blake’s life and art, and rendering all the inset lives complete, however discontinuous they appear … One can foresee a rush of books in the run-up to 2027, the bicentenary of Blake’s death, but nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love’ Jenny Uglow, TLS

Peter Blake - Marco Livingstone
A fully updated edition of the most comprehensive illustrated survey of the life and work of Peter Blake, one of Britain’s most popular artists. Since his emergence in the early 1960s as a key member of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake has become one of the best-known and most popular artists of his generation. Though primarily a painter, he has worked across many media, from drawings, watercolours and collages to sculpture and printmaking, as well as commercial art in the form of graphics and album covers – most notably his design for The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album in 1967. Exploring his remarkable creative output from the 1950s to the present, Peter Blake is the most comprehensive illustrated survey available of the life and work of the artist. Marco Livingstone grounds Blake’s art firmly in his working-class origins, identifying a yearning for the innocence of childhood in his bittersweet paintings of the early to mid-1950s that depict children reading comics or going to the Saturday matinee at the cinema. From that moment, while studying at the Royal College of Art in London, Blake concerned himself with popular entertainments as subject matter, and as the source of formal solutions, for his paintings. The directness with which Blake gave expression to his enthusiasms for mass culture during the 1950s brought him to the forefront of the Pop Art movement before it had even been named, and independently of the investigations into similar areas by other British, American and European artists. The radical nature of his collage paintings of 1959–62, in particular, in which he combined existing imagery from popular culture with unapologetically bold and bright colours, made him a singularly influential figure within British Pop. This fully updated edition includes a new chapter on what the artist has jokingly styled his ‘Late Period’, in which Blake has continued to mine the many strands of his art with undiminished energy and completed some of his most ambitious long-standing projects. As well as the sheer scale of Blake’s production, what becomes clear is the kaleidoscopic variety of subject matter, form and medium to be found in his work, its humour and friendly appeal, and, above all, its celebration of life and humanity.

Familiar to both young and old, Quentin Blake’s entertaining and lively artworks are full of characters that have amused and inspired generations of readers. He is best-known for his collaborations on children’s books, including those written by Michael Rosen, John Yeoman, Russell Hoban, and, most famously, Roald Dahl.An artist for seven decades, Blake’s first drawings were published in Punch when he was just sixteen. He has also illustrated literary classics such as A Christmas Carol, Candide, and Don Quixote, and in the last twenty years, Blake has extended his practice to large-scale works for hospitals, libraries, and public spaces. He has received numerous prizes and awards for his illustration work, including the Whitbread Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal, and the international Bologna Ragazzi Award. In 1999, he was appointed the United Kingdom’s first-ever Children’s Laureate; he has won the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the highest international recognition given to creators of children’s books; and he has been awarded a knighthood for “services to illustration.”A unique celebration of the illustrator’s art to date, this beautiful collection guides the reader through Blake’s extraordinary body of work. Seventy years of the artist’s drawings and illustrations of enormous diversity are represented―including recent unpublished work―alongside text by distinguished writer and illustration specialist Jenny Uglow, with commentary by Blake himself.

Two Sisters - Blake Morrison
''Tender, vivid and achingly sad'' GUARDIAN, BOOK OF THE YEARTWO SISTERS publishes on the 30th anniversary of Blake Morrison’s ground-breaking book And When Did You Last See Your Father? which forged the way for a new genre of confessional memoir.‘She’s gone, that’s all, and though there’s no retrieving her I’d like to make sense of who she was and what she became. It wasn’t just that she changed over time. She could change from day to day. Drink made it worse but the origins went deeper. You never knew which you’d get, the kind and loving Gill or her doppelgänger. Two sisters.’Blake Morrison has lost a sister and a half-sister in recent years. Both are the subjects of this remarkable and heart-breaking memoir, along with a forensic examination of sibling relationships in history and literature.Blake’s sister Gill struggled with alcoholism for a large part of her life, and her shocking death is the starting point for Two Sisters. Blake returns to their childhood to search for the origins of her later difficulties, and in doing so unearths the story behind his half-sister, Josie.As he unravels these narratives, Blake deals movingly in the guilt and shame that will be familiar to every person who has struggled with addiction in their family. He is unflinching in doing so, and the result is a book which provides testament to that common struggle, as well as acknowledging the complex, hidden forces on which all our lives are based.Two Sisters is the extraordinary new memoir from the chronicler of human frailty, Blake Morrison.

Although he died nearly 200 years ago, something about his work continues to haunt the twenty-first century. What is it about Blake that has so endured? In this illuminating essay, John Higgs takes us on a whirlwind tour to prove that far from being the mere New Age counterculture figure that many assume him to be, Blake is now more relevant than ever.

Alone With You in the Ether - Olivie Blake
From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance.Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change. Everything else, however, is slightly different.Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes. Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a literary, intimate study of time, space - and a love story like no other.Praise for Olivie Blake:'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong'This is a book to savor' - Publishers Weekly'Pages fly by in this character-driven novel that is intimate, complicated, and utterly romantic' - Booklist

William Blake: Selected Poems - William Blake
''To see a World in a Grain of Sand''And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour''William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake''s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable ''prophetic'' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake''s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.

Svět v zrnku písku - William Blake, Květa Krhánková
Reedice výboru Blakeovy poezie v překladu Jiřího Valji.William Blake (28. 11. 1757 - 12. 8. 1827). Anglický básník, grafik, výtvarník, filozof, vynálezce. Jedna z nejvýraznějších a nejoriginálnějších osobností romantismu. Revolucionář a kritik uspořádání společnosti. V jeho díle se prolíná tvorba básníka, mystika a vizionáře s tvorbou malíře a především kreslíře a grafika. William Blake byl básník i výtvarník experimentální, jeho práce vyrůstaly z nespokojenosti, filozofický odboj spojoval s hledáním nových výrazových prostředků. Blakeův mytologický systém je nám dnes stejně vzdálený jako mytologie antická, stejně jako ona přestal být skutečností teologickou a stal se faktem uměleckým. Jeho dílo zůstává živé těmi umělecky silnými hodnotami, k nimž jej jeho mystický názor podněcoval: odvahou přemýšlet samostatně o dogmatu, konkrétním a přitom filozofickým básnickým viděním a lidským zaujetím umělce, pro něhož příroda je mrtvá, není-li v ní člověk. Blake ovlivnil i mnohé umělce 20. století. Jeho verš: "Kdyby byly dveře vnímání očištěny, všechno by se člověku zjevilo ve své nekonečné podstatě" inspiroval Jima Morrisona k pojmenování své skupiny The Doors. Sbírka obsahuje i nejznámější, děsivě krásnou báseň Tygře, tygře.

Temná hmota - Blake Crouch - audiokniha
Audiokniha: „Temná hmota je jedna z nejlepších knih jakéhokoli roku… a jakékoli reality.“ Book Reporter. „Jsi v životě šťastný?“ To byla jedna z posledních slov, která Jason Dessen slyšel, než po útoku maskovaného muže upadl do bezvědomí. Než se probudil připoutaný na lůžku a obklopený cizími lidmi v ochranných oblecích. Než se na něj člověk, jehož nikdy neviděl, usmál a řekl: „Vítej zpátky.“ Ve světě, kde se probral, není Jasonův život ten, který zná. Jeho žena není jeho žena. Jeho syn se nikdy nenarodil. A Jason není průměrný profesor fyziky, ale proslulý génius, jenž dokázal něco pozoruhodného. Něco nemožného. Který svět je skutečný a o kterém se mu jen zdá? A pokud je skutečný ten z jeho vzpomínek, jak se do něj lze vrátit? Cesta zpět však bude úžasnější a zároveň děsivější, než si kdy dokázal představit… KREDITY: Temná hmota: Blake Crouch| Překlad Veronika Volhejnová | Čte Lukáš Hlavica| Režie Jan Drbohlav | Zvuk a střih Kate Hamsíková¬| Hudba Petr Hanzlík | Mastering Štěpán Škoch | Natočeno ve studiu All Senses Production s. r.¬o.¬| Grafiku CD podle knižní obálky upravila Jana Rybová | Produkce Kateřina Višinská| Vydala Euromedia Group, a.¬s.¬– Témbr, v¬ říjnu 2023.

In this radical new biography, we return to a world of riots, revolutions and radicals, discuss movements from the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, and explore the latest discoveries in neurobiology, quantum physics and comparative religion to look afresh at Blake''s life and work - and, crucially, his mind. Taking the reader on wild detours into unfamiliar territory, John Higgs places the bewildering eccentricities of a most singular artist into context and shows us how Blake can help us better understand ourselves.

Not for Art's Sake - Quentin Blake
An art book about art that has a purpose, focusing on work by Quentin Blake that has been commissioned for a particular place or for a particular use. Illustration is the most accessible visual artform and one that is used in all aspects of life; as Quentin Blake says, 'it is, if you like, a vernacular; it’s a language that everybody understands. They may look at it and not think that they’re looking at art, but it’s having the effect on them of art. It’s a language that everybody can read, so to speak.' The work here shows Quentin using this vernacular to great effect and for very different purposes. In 2007 when Elizabeth II was opening the new Eurostar at St Pancras, Quentin was asked to hide an unsightly building across the road. He drew a 2-colour illustration on his drawing board showing a cast of characters that you might meet on a London Street; this was then blown up large enough to wrap a five-storey building. Since then he has found other opportunities for site specific work. Here are beautiful drawings of new-borns, mothers and fathers in a maternity hospital in France. Some images were etched, larger than life-size, on the external glass of the building as well as used in corridors and delivery suites. Most recently Quentin has done a series of drawings of everyday life for the family rooms for prisons across the UK. And charities have benefited from Quentin’s enjoyment of drawing for a purpose; the Roald Dahl Marvellous Charity’s logo and cards; for Comic Relief’s two virtual pantomimes during lockdown, he drew the scene changes for Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast which were then auctioned; he created a rainbow for the NHS trust mug, and posters for Islington Libraries to encourage reading. All these and more are featured in this charming book, which opens with a foreword by Quentin Blake, and includes photographs of him at work.

Cote d'Or - Raymond Blake
The Côte d’Or may be small in size but its influence is huge and its reputation alone can intimidate even the most seasoned wine professional. Divided into two halves, the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, it is little more than a 30-mile stretch of vineyard but some of the world’s best known – and most expensive – wines are produced here. Of all the world’s wine regions it is here that terroir pushes itself to the fore, explaining the eye-watering prices paid for even the most modest parcels of vineyard.Raymond Blake’s companionable Côte d’Or demystifies this notoriously complicated region, explaining succinctly the history of winemaking in this part of Burgundy, the complexity of the subdivided vineyards and the special role played by geology and climate in the creation of these wines. Visiting a selection of notable producers, Blake provides his take on each, along with a suggestion of that winemaker’s most distinctive or interesting wine for readers to try. After a rundown of the characteristics of each vintage from the last 30 years, and notes on some outstanding earlier vintages, Blake considers what the future might hold for the côte, including the challenges posed by premature oxidation, extreme weather and world events. He ends the book by providing some ideas to help those planning a trip to the region get the most out of their visit.This fresh take on one of the world’s most influential wine regions is an essential addition to the library of any burgundy enthusiast.
