The acclaimed Danish poet Tove Ditlevsen’s autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy ("A masterpiece" —The Guardian) continues with Youth. Following Childhood, this second volume finds the young author consumed in trials by fire that only fuel her relentless passion for artistic freedom—placing her on a devastating and destructive path recounted in the final volume, Dependency.Forced to leave school early, Tove embarks on a checkered career in a string of low-paid, menial jobs. But she is hungry: for poetry, for love, for real life to begin. As Europe slides into war, she must navigate exploitative bosses, a Nazi landlady, and unwelcome sexual encounters on the road to hard-won independence. Yet she remains ruthlessly determined in the pursuit of her poetic vocation—until at last the miracle she has always dreamed of appears to be within reach.Youth, the second volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, is a strikingly honest and immersive portrait of adolescence, filled with biting humor, vulnerability, and poeticism.

The final volume in the renowned Danish poet Tove Ditlevsen’s autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy ("A masterpiece" —The Guardian). Following Childhood and Youth, Dependency is the searing portrait of a woman’s journey through love, friendship, ambition, and addiction, from one of Denmark’s most celebrated twentieth century writersTove is only twenty, but she''s already famous, a published poet, and the wife of a much older literary editor. Her path in life seems set, yet she has no idea of the struggles ahead—love affairs, wanted and unwanted pregnancies, artistic failure, and destructive addiction. As the years go by, the central tension of Tove''s life comes into painful focus: the terrible lure of dependency, in all its forms, and the possibility of living freely and fearlessly—as an artist on her own terms.The final volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, and arguably Ditlevsen''s masterpiece, Dependency is a dark and blisteringly honest account of addiction, and the way out.

Niterná zpověď jedné z nejvýznamnějších dánských autorek dvacátého století V Dánsku již kultovní trilogie zavádí čtenáře do Kodaně mezi třicátými a sedmdesátými lety dvacátého století. Tove Ditlevsenová vypráví svůj životní příběh — příběh ženy z obyčejného dělnického prostředí, odkud se snažila co nejdříve uniknout do světa literatury. Kniha vyobrazuje složitá ženská přátelství, manželství bez citu a porozumění, mateřství a nechtěná otěhotnění, milostná vzplanutí, rozpolcení mezi muži, závislost na alkoholu a drogách, ale především závislost na psaní. Autorka se již v sedmnácti letech stala slavnou básnířkou, ovšem věnovala se i psaní novel, románů, povídek, esejů a především memoárů. Svůj život ukončila roku 1976 sebevraždou. Ačkoli ji soudobá kritika kvůli jejímu dělnickému původu i prostému faktu, že je žena, nebrala vážně, Ditlevsenová se nakonec vypracovala v jeden z nejnaléhavějších hlasů dánské literatury dvacátého století a se stejnou intenzitou oslovuje čtenáře po celém světě i dnes.

The story of Permasteelisa, an Italian company behind the facades of some of the most famous buildings in the world. The great global cities of the Western, Middle Eastern, and Asian world tend to resemble each other more and more. The new buildings of cities such as London, Hong Kong, New York, or Frankfurt are similar, and even the skylines increasingly seem to resemble one another. The fact that there are just a few great architects behind these constructions partly explains this phenomenon. This book reveals how the work of these architectural talents is also made possible by companies such as Permasteelisa, which offer technological solutions for constructing the most futuristic buildings.

The artistic gaze into the mirror – Egon Schiele personally and in close-up. Many artists share the desire for involvement with the self and their own appearance. In the oeuvre of Egon Schiele, self-portraits occupy a central role. Over a period of many years Schiele recorded himself in various poses and styles. This publication focuses in detail on this crucial and yet often only marginally mentioned aspect of his art. Egon Schiele’s contorted and eccentric figures are among the world’s iconic images. For many of these works he and his own body served as model. His interest often lay not in his own self, but more generally in the position of the individual in the changing modern world. As in experimental arrangements, Schiele poses in a variety of roles. In doing so he “uses” his face and wears it like a mask. The publication offers a comprehensive representation of this life theme of the artist genius.
