Essays on artists who have withdrawn from the art world or have adopted an openly antagonistic position against it.This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. A large part of the artist''s role in today''s professionalized art system is being present. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity. By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Essays on Lutz Bacher, Stanley Brouwn, Christopher D''Arcangelo, Trisha Donnelly, David Hammons, Agnes Martin, Cady Noland, Laurie Parsons, Charlotte Posenenske, and Albert York.

Anna had never met anyone like Willow. Entering art school with lofty ideas about Art and her role in it, Anna was wholly unprepared for someone as mysterious, moody - and cool - as Willow. Here was Anna''s muse and collaborator all in one, ready to bring her in on Art''s great secrets. Now, five years later, Anna is weary. Where art school was boundless creativity and collaboration, the New York art scene is all about survival. Worse: Willow''s true nature as a muse only to herself has become nakedly apparent, as has her cruelty. So the mugging Anna has staged for Willow this morning? It''s supposed to send Willow running back to her true friend. The knife is supposed to be a mirror in which this ''artist'' can finally see the monster she''s become. It''s supposed to give Anna her power back. But this morning isn''t just any Tuesday. It''s September 11, 2001. And as the city reels from the seismic events of that day, Willow never returns home. Anna keeps quiet about the prank and her growing panic that she''s to blame for Willow''s disappearance. But as the hours and days tick by, Anna begins to question whether she''s the mastermind she thought she was, or the pawn. Alternating between the friends'' art school tenure and their lives in 2001 New York, Tell Them You Lied reveals how difficult the search for answers is when you''d rather have anything but the truth.

In 1506, Michelangelo – a young but already renowned sculptor – is invited by the sultan of Constantinople to design a bridge over the Golden Horn. The sultan has offered, alongside an enormous payment, the promise of immortality, since Leonardo da Vinci''s design was rejected: ''You will surpass him in glory if you accept, for you will succeed where he has failed, and you will give the world a monument without equal.'' Michelangelo, after some hesitation, flees Rome and an irritated Pope Julius II – whose commission he leaves unfinished – and arrives in Constantinople for this truly epic project. Once there, he explores the beauty and wonder of the Ottoman Empire, sketching and describing his impressions along the way, and becomes immersed in cloak-and-dagger palace intrigues as he struggles to create what could be his greatest architectural masterwork. Tell Them of Battles, Kings and Elephants – constructed from real historical fragments – is a thrilling page-turner about why stories are told, why bridges are built, and how seemingly unmatched pieces, seen from the opposite sides of civilization, can mirror one another.

On December 15, 1868, Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794–1868), Professor of Botany at the University of Munich and director of the Royal Botanic Garden, was carried to his grave in a coffin covered with fresh palm leaves. These were a reference to his groundbreaking Natural History of Palms: a work in three volumes, published between 1823 and 1853. At the time, this encyclopedic treasury contained the sum of human knowledge on the topic, and included 240 exquisite chromolithographic illustrations, featuring landscape views of palm habitats and botanical dissections.This epic folio was based on von Martius’s expedition to Brazil and Peru with zoologist Johann Baptist von Spix, sponsored by King Maximilian I of Bavaria, to investigate natural history and native tribes. From 1817 to 1820 the pair traveled over 2,250 km (1,400 miles) throughout the Amazon basin, the most species-rich palm region in the world, collecting and sketching specimens. On their return both men were awarded knighthoods and lifetime pensions. In his epic work, von Martius outlined the modern classification of palm, produced the first maps of palm biogeography, described all the palms of Brazil, and collated the sum of all known genera of the palm family. Apart from his own collection of specimens and notes, von Martius also wrote about the findings of others. Von Martius’s folio is unusual in its inclusion of cross-sectioned diagrams, conveying the architecture of these mighty trees, which central Europeans would have found hard to imagine accurately. Equally remarkable are the color landscapes showing various palms—often standing alone—which have a simple and elegant beauty. This famous work is an unrivaled landmark in botanic illustration and taxonomy.

Frank Herbert's Dune series is one of the great creations of imaginative literature, science fiction's answer to The Lord of the Rings.Decades after Herbert's original novels, the Dune saga was continued by Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, in collaboration with Kevin J. Anderson. Working from Frank Herbert's own notes, the acclaimed authors reveal the chapter of the Dune saga most eagerly anticipated by readers: the Butlerian Jihad.Throughout the Dune novels, Frank Herbert frequently referred to the war in which humans wrested their freedom from "thinking machines." In Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson bring to life the story of that war, a tale previously seen only in tantalizing hints and clues. Finally, we see how Serena Butler's passionate grief ignites the struggle that will liberate humans from their machine masters; here is the amazing tale of the Zensunni Wanderers, who escape bondage to flee to the desert world where they will declare themselves the Free Men of Dune. And here is the backward, nearly forgotten planet of Arrakis, where traders have discovered the remarkable properties of the spice melange....

Published for the centenary of his birth, a gathering of lucid, intensely lyrical poetry from one of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent literary voicesbe courageous when reason fails you be courageousin the final reckoning it is the only thing that countsZbigniew Herbert was one of the best-known and most-translated poets of post-war Poland, opposed alike to Communism, Fascism, nationalism and the Church, yet moved, throughout his work, by ‘a powerful sense of right and wrong without a corresponding belief in a system’ (New York Times).His is a poetry of compression, lucidity and profound humanity. The universe he conjures is deeply informed not only by his own time, but by history – by that of the Medieval Mediterranean and Central Europe, as much as of the Classical world – and by a taste for historical and philosophical paradox. In the early and middle works, the figure of the trickster never seems far from view. Throughout, Herbert asks questions about the nature and needs of sentient beings. His desire, always, is to ‘touch the essence’: to get to the heart of life.Selected with an introduction and afterword by J. M. Coetzee and Alissa Valles, this outstanding gathering from the full range of Herbert’s poetic output invites readers to experience the beauty and profundity of a remarkable body of work.

Herbertova nezaměnitelná poetika, opřená o klasické vzdělání i výtvarnou citlivost, je dnes už dědictvím 20. století, stále však inspiruje svým nesmlouvavým postojem, nedůvěrou k myriádám obrazů nebo zacházením s emblematickou maskou-postavou pana Cogito.V českých překladech se básnické dílo Zbigniewa Herberta objevilo poprvé už na konci padesátých let především díky Vlastě Dvořáčkové, básníku Miroslavu Holubovi, který se s Herbertem osobně znal, nebo Miroslavu Červenkovi. Naopak eseje se dočkaly vydání až mnohem později. Nový výbor je také osobním pohledem Josefa Mlejnka na Herbertovo dílo - některé básně již česky vyšly a nyní jsou publikovány v novém překladu. Zbigniew Herbert (1924-1998) byl významný polský básník a esejista, stal se symbolem protikomunistického odporu v Polsku a byl několikrát nominovaný na Nobelovu cenu. Svou první básnickou knihu Struna světla vydal v roce 1956, v roce 1974 vychází jeho kniha Pan Cogito, jejíž hlavní stejnojmenná postava se pak objevuje i v následujících Herbertových knihách. Poslední sbírka Epilog bouře byla vydána v roce jeho úmrtí. Je také autorem knižních reportážních esejů Barbar v zahradě (1962), na které navázaly soubory Zátiší s udidlem (1993) a Labyrint u moře (2000), v nichž reflektuje své časté cesty do zahraničí, kde pobýval řadu měsíců, někdy i let. Ačkoli v exilu nikdy natrvalo nezůstal, pobyt mimo Polsko pomáhal Herbertovi vyrovnat se s komunistickou totalitou, a zároveň promýšlet vztah k evropskému kulturnímu dědictví a tradici.

Dvě zásadní práce jednoho z předních okultních spisovatelů první poloviny 20. století. Herbert Friteche, významný homeopat a žák Gustava Meyrinka, s odkazem na staré a osvědčené autority v oblasti mystiky a esoterního bádání vede své čtenáře k vnitřnímu probuzení a poznání vnitřní pravdy,. V pojednání Vyšší bdělost si dává Herbert Fritsche za cíl vytvořit jakousi základnu pro další studium Královského umění, "vytknout cestu, jež začíná právě tam, kde zrovna stojíme". Jde mu především o vnitřní vedení, aby již nebylo třeba jiného poučení než toho, jehož se nám dostane od probuzeného vlastního "já". V Malé učebnici bílé magie hovoří Fritsche o příslibu této cesty k Bohu a upozorňuje na svody černé magie. Fritsche se opírá zejména o texty a dílo Paracelsa, Swedenborga a Gustava Meyrinka.

Between the end of Frank Herbert''s Dune and his next novel Dune Messiah lies a mystery: how a hero adored by a planet became a tyrant hated by a universe. Paul of Dune begins the story of those twelve fateful years and the wars of the jihad of Paul Muad''Dib. It is an epic of battle and betrayal; of love and idealism; of ambition and intrigue. Above all, it is the story of how Paul Atreides - who achieved absolute power when scarcely more than a boy - changes from an idealist into a dictator who is the prisoner of the bureaucrats and fanatics who surround him. Have you read Dune? And have you read Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson''s novels continuing the story? The latest are Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune.

For many poets there comes a point in their careers when a Selected Poems seems a logical step. Their style is now established, their subject-matter is their own, and their greatest hits lend themselves to a succinct introduction to their career. But for WN Herbert, that was never what it was all about. The idea that he has had a career, let alone that it was ‘about’ anything, strikes him as extremely unlikely. Instead, he has always enjoyed the opportunity to head off in as many directions as possible. Usually at the same time. In addition to his main collections, WN Herbert has been involved in many collaborative side projects, arising from travel, dialogue, translation and the challenge of a new sequence or form. This book contains the best of his ‘unselected’ poems, including On Your Nerve: A Wake for Frank O’Hara, Don Juan’s Pilgrimage and his award-winning pamphlet, Murder Bear. Unselected Poems is an invitation to consider the less-travelled tracks we might have taken and could yet follow, whether as writers or readers. Set off, if you would – follow that bear!

''A profoundly important book'' KAY BURLEY''Should be required reading by lawyers and lawmakers alike'' CATHY NEWMAN''A triumph'' HELENA KENNEDYIF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY NEEDED HELP, COULD YOU TRUST THE LAW TO BE ON YOUR SIDE?Award-winning barrister Charlotte Proudman has dedicated her working life to representing women who find themselves in need of help from the family law courts. Time and again, she has watched as these women are let down by the system that is supposed to protect them. Seeking only justice and safety, they have instead been met with cruelty and disdain, deemed unreliable witnesses compared to the men who abused them.From family courts failing to protect victims from abusers to the misogynistic bullying Charlotte herself receives from senior members of her profession, the problem is clear: no matter their circumstances, women across the country are suffering at the hands of a legal system built by men.But change is on the horizon. In He Said, She Said, Proudman gives voice to the women whose stories are all too often brushed aside in the name of giving abusers ''the benefit of the doubt''. Through real-life cases spanning forced marriage, domestic abuse, child abduction and female genital mutilation, Proudman highlights the troubling biases and shocking prejudice that underlie our legal system - and in a book that is at once thrilling, engaging and deeply compassionate, puts forward her own inspiring vision for long-term change.

“Grease, Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a fabulous rockin’ and rollin’ origin story with every juicy inspiration that went into creating it. . . . A must read for all Grease fans.” —Didi Conn, Grease’s “Frenchy”  What started as an amateur play with music in a converted trolly barn in Chicago hit Broadway fifty years ago—and maintains its cultural impact today. Grease opened downtown in the Eden Theatre February 14, 1972, short of money, short of audience, short of critical raves, and seemingly destined for a short run. But like the little engine that could, this musical of high school kids from the 1950s moved uptown. On December 8, 1979, it became the longest running show—play or musical—in Broadway history. Grease: Tell Me More, Tell Me More is a collection of memories and stories from over one hundred actors and musicians, including the creative team and crew who were part of the original Broadway production and in the many touring companies it spawned. Here are stories—some touching, some hilariously funny—from names you may recognize: Barry Bostwick, John Travolta, Adrienne Barbeau, Treat Williams, Marilu Henner, Peter Gallagher, and others you may not: Danny Jacobson, creator of Mad About You; Tony-winning Broadway directors Walter Bobbie and Jerry Zaks; bestselling authors Laurie Graff and John Lansing; television stars Ilene Kristen, Ilene Graff, and Lisa Raggio, and many, many more. Read about the struggles, the battles, and the ultimate triumphs achieved in shaping the story, characters, and music into the iconic show now universally recognized the world over.
