Strange Beasts of China - Yan Ge
In the city of Yong''an, a fiction writer and amateur cryptozoologist is commissioned to uncover the stories of its fabled beasts. These creatures, with their greenish stomachs or gills or strange birthmarks, live alongside humans in near-inconspicuousness, some with ancient forbears, others engineered as artificial breeds. Guided - and often misguided - by her elusive university professor and his scrappy sidekick-student Zhong Liang, our narrator finds herself on a mission to track down each species. And as she blunders from one implausible situation to the next, she comes one step closer to revealing her own multifaceted beastliness... Part detective story, part metaphysical enquiry, Strange Beasts of China addresses existential questions of identity, being, love and morality with whimsy and grace.

Jonathan Strange & pan Norrel - Susanna Clarková - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Pan Norrell má poslání. Hodlá se zasadit o návrat magie do Británie!Na počátku 19. století se v Anglii vyskytují pouze mágové-teoretici, jejichž příležitostná setkání připomínají spíš diskusní kroužek usedlých gentlemanů. Přesto se jednomu z nich, samotářskému panu Norrellovi, podaří oživit sochy v yorské katedrále, a tak se ostrovní zemí ovládanou šíleným králem rozletí zpráva o návratu skutečné magie. Pan Norrell se vypraví do Londýna, aby národu pomohl v boji proti Napoleonovi, a nečekaně narazí na nadaného mladého mága, kterého vezme do učení. Jonathan Strange je však nejen okouzlující talent, ale i arogantní boháč, načež vztah nesourodé dvojice pokřiví rivalita. Zatímco mistr se užírá tajnůstkářstvím a řevnivostí, učedníka přitahuje dávná nebezpečná magie z časů tajemného Krále Havrana. V sázce se proto ocitne jak jejich partnerství, tak osud všeho, co je oběma tolik drahé.Autorčino románové opus magnum, jež získalo ceny Hugo a Locus a dočkalo se ocenění i mimo žánr fantasy, můžete znát rovněž jako stejnojmenný seriál z produkce BBC. „Celý ten veliký (rozměrem i významem) román je jeden barvitý cirkus plný kouzel, zábavných postav – a v neposlední řadě jemného, leč o to chytlavějšího humoru.“ – Fantasya.cz„Tradiční anglický román oděný ve fantastickém hávu.

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.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Mary Neal and the Suffragettes Who Saved Morris Dancing - Kathryn Atherton
At the beginning of the 20th century Morris dancing had all but died out in much of England. It was militant suffragettes and slum girls who kick-started the revival that returned the forgotten dances of the countryside to towns and villages across the nation. As a result of their commitment to preserve and pass on the dances, the Morris survived as a living tradition that is still performed to this day. And the impetus to do so came from the women’s aspiration to change society for the better, the same impetus that drove them to militant action and to prison.The Morris revival and the militant suffrage movement were inextricably linked. The leader of the dance revival, Mary Neal, was a life-long radical campaigner for the rights of women and children. With her friend Emmeline Pethick she ran the Esperance Girls’ Club in one of London’s most deprived areas. She and Emmeline both sat on the national committee of Mrs Pankhurst’s militant Women’s Social and Political Union, the most notorious of the groups campaigning for the vote for women.The women’s embrace of traditional dance was rooted in Mary’s aspirations for equality and her commitment to social and political reform.

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.

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, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Záložka Paperblanks - Morris Windrush
Dekorativní papírová záložka v designu Paperblanks kolekce William Morris. Oboustranný a texturovaný potisk. Zaoblené rohy. Logo Paperblanks. Rozměry 182 x 40 mm. 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.

Venice - Jan Morris
Often hailed as one of the best travel books ever written, Venice is neither a guide nor a history book, but a beautifully written immersion in Venetian life and character, set against the background of the city''s past. Analysing the particular temperament of Venetians, as well as its waterways, its architecture, its bridges, its tourists, its curiosities, its smells, sounds, lights and colours, there is scarcely a corner of Venice that Jan Morris has not investigated and brought vividly to life. Jan Morris first visited the city of Venice as young James Morris, during World War II. As she writes in the introduction, ''it is Venice seen through a particular pair of eyes at a particular moment - young eyes at that, responsive above all to the stimuli of youth.'' Venice is an impassioned work on this magnificent but often maddening city. Jan Morris''s collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Sydney, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain and Manhattan ''45. Since its first publication, Venice has appeared in many editions, won the W.H. Heinemann award and become an international bestseller.

News from Nowhere - Morris William
The famous novel News from Nowhere (1890), written by socialist pioneer and artist William Morris, combines utopian socialism and soft science fiction. Starting on January 11, 1890, it was first serialized in the Commonweal newspaper. In the story, William Guest, the narrator, falls asleep on the way home from a Socialist League meeting and wakes up in a world where the means of production are owned by everyone and democratically controlled. This society lacks private property, large cities, authority, a monetary system, marriage and divorce, courts, jails, and class structures. The only reason this agrarian culture is able to function is that people enjoy being in nature and consequently enjoy what they do. The structure of this civilization as well as the interpersonal interactions it fosters are some of the topics covered in the book. When Morris presents himself as an enchanted character in a period and place other than Victorian England, he combines Marxism and the romance genre. Morris, the romance character, runs into romance archetypes dressed in Marxist garb as he searches for love and camaraderie and, through them, a reborn self.

Art, Wealth and Riches - Morris William
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.Based on a lecture given at the Manchester Royal Institution in 1883, Art, Wealth and Riches is a thought-provoking essay that considers art as having educative and aesthetic value that should be shared with the many, rather than financial value that should be hoarded by the few. Morris asks: ''Is art to be limited to a narrow class who only care for it in a very languid way, or is it to be the solace and pleasure of the whole people?''

Out Loud - Mark Morris, Wesley Stace
‘The absorbing story of an uncompromising genius of the dance.’ Salman Rushdie‘Candid, compelling. . . I loved every word of insight into the mind of a master.’ Sunday TimesMark Morris was nineteen when he moved to New York to become a professional dancer. Flat broke, he found a group of like-minded artists that danced together, travelled together, slept together – a collective which became the Mark Morris Group.Suddenly, Morris was on a fast ascent, and with success also came controversy: from the circus of his tenure at La Monnaie in Belgium to his work on the biggest flop on Broadway history. But through the Reagan-Bush era and the worst of the AIDS epidemic, Morris emerged as one of the great visionaries of modern dance, an artist as joyful as he is provocative.

J.K. Rowling's five-film Fantastic Beasts adventure series continues with the original screenplay for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of GrindelwaldAt the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world. This second original screenplay from J.K. Rowling, illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima, expands on earlier events that helped shaped the wizarding world, with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films.
