Konečně je tady! Kniha, ke které mě dlouho přemlouvali moji přátelé i kolegové. „Roberte, proč neuděláš knihu, která by chronologicky, od začátku do konce, rekapitulovala tvůj život?“ ptali se mě a já jsem cítil, že jestli má ta kniha vzniknout, vznikne v ten správný okamžik. „Poslední velká kniha“ Roberta Vana vychází teď. V ten správný okamžik, jak s oblibou fotograf říkává, „mezi třicítkou a smrtí“. Třísetstránková fotografická biografie je inspirovaná životem. Jeho křehkostí, smrtelností a nevyzpytatelností. Kniha Robert Vano nese pouze jméno autora. Dokumentuje sedm dekád fotografova života a jeho uměleckou kariéru. Je sestavena z barevných i černobílých snímků a doplněna o autentický text, který vznikl z rozhovorů s Robertem Vanem. Společně s fotografiemi vypráví poutavý příběh s otevřeným koncem. Velká část snímků pochází z doposud nepublikovaného osobního archivu fotografa a z originálních kinofilmů, které čekaly na znovuobjevení více než padesát let.

This unprecedented angle on the oeuvre of Robert Wilson reveals the importance of chair design for his cross-medium artFor American experimental theater stage director and playwright Robert Wilson (born 1941), theater is a totality of visual, textual and performative mediums. Wilson has incorporated furniture designs into his scenography since his earliest productions in the 1960s. In almost all of my plays, there is a chair specially designed, he said. Often, the chairs are much like an actor. Wilsonâ ™s chairs, with their frequently referential names (the Kafka Chair, Queen Victoria Chairs, the Mondrian Chair), assume expanded significance as the surviving artifacts of each performance.The works in this publication range from 1969 to 2011, from the stainless steel mesh Parzival Sofa (1987) to the painted wood Clementine Hunter Rocker (2011). Wilsonâ ™s practice as a designer is illuminated by his practice as a collector, with pieces in materials ranging from wood, bronze and steel to taxidermied legs, tempered glass and neon. This publication includes several works never previously exhibited.

Audiokniha: Příběhy z tančírny Century Je to jednoduché – chodí sem totiž lidi. A to znamená, že se může stát cokoliv Argentinské tango, to jsou krásné ženy, vysoké podpatky, milongueros, vášeň a slunce … ale také lidé s všedními starostmi, poutníci žíznící po lásce a objetí, které pohání lidská potřeba pohybovat se společně do rytmu hudby. V seattleské tančírně Century se setkávají lidé nejrůznějšího věku, pohlaví, národnosti, náboženského vyznání a osudů. To, co je důležité venku, na tom tady nezáleží. Jde tu totiž o jediné - o tanec, který se může stát cestou k proměně. Tango je novým pohledem na svět, otevřením zapomených dveří v pokoji života...Zkuste vzít za kliku, je dost možné, že ani ty vaše ještě nebudou zamčené! Vždyť tanec neznamená nic jiného než objímat se a kráčet při hudbě. Robert Fulghum (1937) Robert Fulghum je mužem mnoha tváří.

Master cartoonist Charles Burns has never hidden his passion for comic books and pop culture from the 1950 and 1960s. Inspired by the romance, horror, and sci-fi comics of his youth, as well as the 1960s American underground, the author of Black Hole (Fantagraphics, 2017) has created a collection of 80 original comic book covers that, through his own inimitable aesthetic, present an alternate universe of stories that never were, but that you will wish existed. The covers - some with otherworldly titles in alien letterforms, and others that riff on classic genres (Throbbing Hearts, Unwholesome Love) and eras (Drug Buddy, Huss) - each inspire a multitude of interpretations, build entire worlds, and suggest entire narratives that lie within their non-existent guts. This is Burns at his most playful, imaginative, and suggestive, using the format of the comic book to continue to explore many of the themes that run through all his longer-form work - adolescence, metamorphosis, nightmares, and sexuality - and provide a pretext for the creation of some of the most mysterious and bewitching imagery of Burns s incredible career. Kommix is like discovering an entire box of comic books you never knew existed.

Providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair, Egwene s fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower-and possibly the world itself.Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time(R) by Robert Jordan has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters.

Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Magnificent ... the pinacle of rugby writing â “ Owen Slot, The TimesThe 1997 British Irish Lions tour to South Africa is one of the most iconic in rugby history. Written off at home and abroad, Martin Johnson s men were given no hope of success against the world champion Springboks in their own backyard. But a combination of brilliant coaching, astute selections and outstanding players laid the foundations for the touring side s outstanding attacking mindset and brutal stonewall defence.On the other side was a team expected to stamp their authority on the tourists and confirm their place as the best side on the planet. But with political, racial and economic scandals swirling around the Springbok camp, plus a rookie coach parachuted into office just before the tour began, the hosts were under huge pressure.In a Test series that will go down in legend as one of the most compelling of all time, the sides could barely be separated. This is the inside story from both camps as they battle for supremacy, lifting the lid like never before as a huge cast of characters look back on those extraordinary weeks and the impact it had on their lives and careers thereafter.

Old Songs fuses short stories, histories, lyrics and illustrations in an enthralling reimagining of traditional folk ballads. Sunday Times Bestselling historian Amy Jeffs and Illustrator Gwen Burns combine forces to create a rich compendium, singing of travel, mystery, magic and the essential urges of humanity. Featuring iterations of fairy tales and sinister descendants of Greek myths and bible stories, as well as a cast of lesser-known characters with names like Tam Lim, Child Wynd and Maisery, Old Songs threads a tapestry of Britain s landscape, history and cultures. At the base of hills we can visit to this day, elf queens kidnap hapless poets and carry them through rivers of blood; and at the foot of a tree whose offspring still stand in the forests of Northumberland, a girl mimes combing the hairless head of a dragon who was once her brother.In spellbinding tales of brown-skinned girls who danced on their lovers graves, of golden-masted ships captained by the Devil, of fiddles that cried Murder! , of men kidnapped by fairies and boys married at fourteen, we find narrative motifs as ancient as humanity itself.In the histories interconnecting the stories, we find the fantastical rooted in the everyday, bringing to light the real experiences of great swathes of people to whom such story-songs were not only familiar, but a way of escaping into the extraordinary and returning gratefully home. Bringing enchantment to familiar landscapes, ballads were created anew by each singer and passed down from fireside to fireside, at the knees of childhood nurses, in manuscripts and in early printed pamphlets. Now, ten stories are gathered here, beautifully recreated for modern readers.Praise for Amy Jeffs This gorgeous book should live on the bookshelves in every house that cares about the idea of Britain, what is was and where it came from The Times A beautiful retelling of British myths and exquisitely illustrated too Daily Express I have fallen so completely in love with this book... just one of the finest, most covetable things around Katherine Rundell A thing of beauty The Herald
