The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from 'the modern Machiavelli', Robert Greene, international bestselling sensation author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction and War. This concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely.Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality.Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules.

A new concise history of modern painting, offering an indispensable reference to the complexities and characteristics of this medium. While acknowledging the legacy of Herbert Read’s classic 1959 study A Concise History of Modern Painting in the World of Art series, academic and artist Simon Morley places the foundation of modern art much earlier than Read, at the emergence of Romanticism and the dawn of the industrial age. Structured loosely chronologically by period, the focus is as much on individual artists as well as movements, with works discussed within a broader context - stylistic, historical, geographical, and gender and ethnic frames - themes that recur throughout the chapters. Generously illustrated, the global and diverse range of artists featured include William Blake, Édouard Manet, Hilma af Klint, Kazimir Malevich, Willem de Kooning, Amrita Sher-Gil, Faith Ringgold, and Kehinde Wiley. This guide also includes an Appendix in the form of questions the reader might like to ask in relation to the artists and the ideas discussed - in order to reconsider the works from a contemporary perspective.

Jedna z celosvětově nejúspěšnějších a nejprodávanějších knih o tom, jak funguje moc. Amorální, skandální, velice cynická, a přitom nesmírně pravdivá.Naučí vás poznat a správně si vysvětlovat myšlenky, přání i chování druhých a využívat to ve svůj prospěch. Díky radám autora pro vás bude mnohem snazší postupovat po kariérním žebříčku. Autor je velký znalec lidské psychologie a ví, co říká. To, co popisuje, v dnešním světě opravdu funguje. Není to duchovní či ezoterická kniha. Je to cynický návod na to, jak nenápadně manipulovat, využívat a překonávat jiné lidi tak, abychom měli čím dál větší moc, čím dál větší úspěch.Tento návod však stojí na dobré znalosti lidské povahy. A zároveň, uvedené zákonitosti jsou podány velmi rafinovaně – na to, aby je člověk opravdu pochopil a vhodně uplatňoval, musí být silný, rozhodný, inteligentní a vynalézavý. Na cestě k moci je totiž nutné rozvíjet své silné stránky a nejednu pozitivní vlastnost. Motivací sice může být moc, zisk a osobní prospěch, ale to člověka současně nevyhnutně pohání vpřed na cestě celkového rozvoje a růstu.Každá kapitola představuje jeden ze 48 daných zákonů, a to podle této osnovy: znění zákona; z něj plynoucí rady (v knize nazvané „klíče k moci“); příběh z historie, případně nějaké podobenství či legenda, jež daný zákon ilustruje; rozbor celého tématu; symbolické znázornění podstaty uvedeného zákona; citát známé osobnosti. Skutečné případy čtenáře poučí, jak i z prohrané pozice můžete ješte stále směřovat k vítězství.

Tato kniha je hlavně o psychologickém svádění, aby lidé podlehli vašemu kouzlu. Je to velmi svůdná kniha. Už jen při jejím čtení ve vás začnou sílit netušené schopnosti a možnosti. Svádění je vrcholný projev moci. Ten, kdo mu podlehne, tak nečiní z donucení, ale ochotně a s radostí. Ženám se líbí svádět muže a muže ženy; spisovatelé svádějí čtenáře, herci diváky, prodavači zákazníky, politici svádějí voliče, tedy nás všechny. A přesto jen nemnozí lidé ovládají umění svádět. Tato kniha obsahuje promyšlené lekce, jak se chovat, pokud je vaším cílem někoho svést. Robert Greene je velký znalec lidské duše. Jeho styl psaní je velmi inteligentní, kultivovaný, inspirativní a vtipný. Vypráví o tom, co je pro člověka lákavé a svůdné, tak poutavě, že už jen při čtení těchto stránek máme chuť zažít něco vzrušujícího, krásného a neobyčejného. Uvedená důkladně podložená vysvětlení se týkají univerzálních lidských sklonů, tužeb a slabostí. Vnímavý čtenář si z nich snadno vyvodí obecnější poznatky, jež může aplikovat i jinde než v oblasti erotiky a lásky. Svádění je velmi mocná psychologická hra. Moudrý autor proto nezapomíná ani na důležitá varování a upozornění. Hlavním cílem je totiž užívat si život nad rámec všednosti, povinností a omezení.

Počátečním bodem pro určení správné strategie je vaše mysl. Staňte se skutečným mistrem strategie při řešení všech druhů konfliktů. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se vždy minou účinkem. Odvážná kniha o odvěké součásti lidského života a společnosti – bojování a válčení, vítězství a prohře. Díkybohu žijeme v části světa, kde nezuří válka, přesto však všude stále probíhají nějaké konflikty, jež se nás více či méně dotýkají. Kromě toho každý z nás ve svém osobním životě pravidelně o něco bojuje a naráží na různé formy nepřátelství. Autor vychází ze skvělé znalosti lidské povahy i potřeb dnešní doby. Ve 33 kapitolách předkládá strategie a klíčové dovednosti, které vedou k úspěchu a síle. Ty podkládá citáty osobností, jež se staly v dějinách známými úspěšnými dobyvateli či válečnými stratégy, jako například Napoleon či Winston Churchill, nejvíc však cituje staré čínské dílo Umění války od Sun-c’ (4. století př. n. l.). „O vítězství ve válkách a všech druzích konfliktů rozhoduje strategie. Počátečním bodem je vaše mysl. Mysl, která nevidí svět jasně a nedokáže rozpoznat priority, vytváří strategie, jež se minou účinkem. Abyste se stali skutečnými stratégy, musíte učinit tři kroky. Za prvé je třeba si uvědomit, jaké slabosti mohou narušovat strategické schopnosti vaší mysli. Za druhé – vyhlaste určitý druh války sami sobě, abyste se posunuli dál. A za třetí: bojujte nemilosrdně, bez přestání a s využitím jistých strategií proti nepřátelům uvnitř své osobnosti.“ „Žijeme v době, kdy jsou lidé jen zřídka otevřeně nepřátelští. Pravidla boje – ať už sociálního, politického nebo vojenského – se změnila. Ačkoliv je dnes na světě více soutěživosti a konkurence než kdykoliv dříve, přímá agrese je chápána jako něco nepřípustného, takže lidé se naučili útočit nečekaně a lstivě.“

Naïma has always known that her family came from Algeria – but up until now, that meant very little to her. Born and raised in France, her knowledge of that foreign country is limited to what she’s learned from her grandparents’ tiny flat in a crumbling French sink estate: the food cooked for her, the few precious things they brought with them when they fled.On the past, her family is silent. Why was her grandfather Ali forced to leave? Was he a harki – an Algerian who worked for and supported the French during the Algerian War of Independence? Once a wealthy landowner, how did he become an immigrant scratching a living in France?Naïma’s father, Hamid, says he remembers nothing. A child when the family left, in France he re-made himself: education was his ticket out of the family home, the key to acceptance into French society.But now, for the first time since they left, one of Ali’s family is going back. Naïma will see Algeria for herself, will ask the questions about her family’s history that, till now, have had no answers.Spanning three generations across seventy years, Alice Zeniter’s The Art of Losing tells the story of how people carry on in the face of loss: the loss of a country, an identity, a way to speak to your children. It’s a story of colonization and immigration, and how in some ways, we are a product of the things we’ve left behind.Translated from the French by Frank Wynne

In the early eighteenth century, Newstead Abbey was among the most admired aristocratic homes in England. It was the abode of William, 4th Baron Byron - a popular amateur composer and artist - and his teenage wife Frances. But by the end of the century, the building had become a crumbling and ill-cared-for ruin. Surrounded by wreckage of his inheritance, the 4th Baron's dissipated son and heir William, 5th Baron Byron - known to history as the 'Wicked Lord' - lay on his deathbed alongside a handful of remaining servants and amidst a thriving population of crickets.This was the home that a small, pudgy boy of ten from Aberdeen - who the world would later come to know as Lord Byron, the Romantic poet, soldier, and adventurer - would inherit in 1798. His family, he would come to learn, had in recent decades become known for almost unfathomable levels of scandal and impropriety, from elopement, murder, and kidnapping to adultery, coercion, and thrilling near-death experiences at sea. Just as it had shocked the society of Georgian London, the outlandish and scandalous story of the Byrons - and the myths that began to rise around it - would his influence his life and poetry for posterity.The Fall of the House of Byron follows the fates of Lord Byron's ancestors over three generations in a drama that begins in rural Nottinghamshire and plays out in the gentlemen's clubs of Georgian London, amid tempests on far-flung seas, and in the glamour of pre-revolutionary France.

1919. The eyes of the world are on Paris, where statesmen, diplomats and politicians have gathered to discuss the fate of half the world's nations in the aftermath of the cataclysm that was the Great War. A horde of journalists, spies and opportunists have also gathered in the city and the last thing the British diplomatic community needs at such a time is the mysterious death of a senior member of their delegation. So, when Sir Henry Maxted falls from the roof of his mistress's apartment building in unexplained circumstances, their first instinct is to suppress all suspicious aspects of the event. But Sir Henry's son, ex Royal Flying Corps ace James 'Max' Maxted, has other ideas. He resolves to find out how and why his father died - even if this means disturbing the impression of harmonious calm which the negotiating teams have worked so hard to maintain. In a city where countries are jostling for position at the crossroads of history and the stakes could hardly be higher, it is difficult to tell who is a friend and who a foe. And Max will soon discover just how much he needs friends, as his search for the truth sucks him into the dark heart of a seemingly impenetrable mystery.
