Jeden muž. Tisíce nepřátel. 24 hodin na přežití… Na vrcholku Hadrianova mauzolea stojí osamělá postava. Hluboko dole se v paprscích zapadajícího slunce třpytí hladina rozbouřené řeky. Všude kolem se rozprostírá nekonečný Řím, nejmocnější město světa. Po schodech nahoru duní kroky. Vlákali ho do pasti. Nepřítel se blíží. Není kam utéci. Musí skočit. Ještě otřesený se vyškrábe z ledové vody. Je sám a beze zbraně, bez peněz i bez přátel, polapen v osidlech smrtelného spiknutí. Stíhají ho nejen městské stráže, ale též najatí zabijáci, kteří mají jediný úkol. Najít ho a zabít. K tomu, aby spiklence odhalil, mu zbývá posledních dvacet čtyři hodin. Zítra, po západu slunce vládce tohoto světa zemře. A s jeho smrtí přijde i chaos a krvavé násilí. Když zemře císař, zemřou i všichni, které Balista miluje. Musí se dostat do Kolosea a varovat Galliena dřív, než opustí císařskou lóži, dřív než padne do rukou vrahů. Čas nelítostně běží.

A drawn and handwritten work of non-fiction about the medium of photography, the photography world, and how the invention of photography influenced people's thinking and behavior. It explores topics such as the camera's wormhole-like capabilities, why being photographed causes stage fright, how the present is becoming a stage for the future, analog vs. digital photography, the relationship between the photographer and the photograph, and how we are losing the possibility of gaining an authentic memory of a moment from a photographic attempt to conserve it. "A funny and delicate philosophical survival kit for a better understanding of the influential, omnipresent shadow of photography.” -Joan Fontcuberta "This work by Magda Stanová is a visual essay, not only because she works with numerous photographic reproductions (famous as well as completely private ones), but also and perhaps primarily because of how she thoughtfully contrasts technical perfection with simple drawings which eliminate everything accessory and show only what is essential, though not in the way a chart does, since even the drawings come alive here and lead their own cheerful life.” -Miroslav Petříček Magda Stanová is a multi-disciplinary artist and a senior lecturer at the Department of Theory and History of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. She is the author of Algorithms in Art (2016) and a co-author of The Pedestrian's Venice (2017).

The Shadow of the Mine tells the story of King Coal in its heyday, the heroics and betrayals of the Miners’ Strike, and what happened to mining communities after the last pits closed.No one personified the age of industry more than the miners. Coal was central to the British economy, powering its factories and railways. It carried political weight, too. In the eighties the miners risked everything in a year-long strike against Thatcher’s shutdowns. Their defeat doomed a way of life. The lingering sense of abandonment in former mining communities would be difficult to overstate. Yet recent electoral politics has revolved around the coalfield constituencies in Labour’s Red Wall. Huw Beynon and Ray Hudson draw on decades of research to chronicle these momentous changes through the words of the people who lived through them.This edition includes a new postscript on why Thatcher’s war on the miners wasn’t good for green politics. ‘Excellent’NEW STATESMAN ‘Brilliant’TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT‘Enlightening’GUARDIAN

Ghost stories reached the height of popularity in the late nineteenth century and this collection offers a fine selection of ghostly tales from that time. Many of the contributors are amongst the most famous writers in the English language led by the master of the genre, M. R. James. What all the stories have in common is that they give the reader a delicious sense of terror but in different ways. Rudyard Kipling in ‘The Phantom Rickshaw’ and Charles Dickens in ‘The Signalman’ expertly twist their protagonists’ emotions, creating fear and dread.Mary Elizabeth Braddon and E. Nesbit aim for downright terror in their tales ‘The Shadow in the Corner’ and ‘Man-Size in Marble’ and there’s even room for some spooky humour with Saki’s tale, ‘Laura’. With tales of revenge, supernatural malevolence and ghostly goings on, this anthology is full of expertly crafted and terrifying ghost stories.This series of gorgeous pocket-sized paperbacks from Macmilan Collector's Library celebrates the very best Gothic and horror literature, teeming with monsters, misfits and ghosts.

Kniha - autor Alex Ross, 784 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Alex Ross, renowned New Yorker music critic and author of the international bestseller and Pulitzer Prize finalist The Rest Is Noise, reveals how Richard Wagner became the proving ground for modern art and politics?an aesthetic war zone where the Western world wrestled with its capacity for beauty and violence. For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Around 1900, the phenomenon known as Wagnerism saturated European and American culture. Such colossal creations as The Ring of the Nibelung, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal were models of formal daring, mythmaking, erotic freedom, and mystical speculation. A mighty procession of artists, including Virginia Woolf, Thomas Mann, Paul Cézanne, Isadora Duncan, and Luis Bunuel, felt his impact. Anarchists, occultists, feminists, and gay-rights pioneers saw him as a kindred spirit. Then Adolf...

Half fairy tale and half historical account of a revolution that never was, Owen King's The Curator is full of sly humor, sensuality, and strangeness - Holly BlackFrom Sunday Times bestselling author Owen King comes a Dickensian fantasy of illusion and charm where cats are revered as religious figures, thieves are noble, scholars are revolutionaries, and conjurers the most wonderful criminals.At first glance, the world has not changed: the trams on the boulevards, the grand hotels, the cafes abuzz with conversation. The street kids still play on the two great bridges that divide the city, and the smart set still venture down to the Morgue Ship for an evening's entertainment.Yet it only takes a spark to ignite a revolution.For young Dora, a maid at the university, the moment brings liberation. She finds herself walking out with one of the student radicals, Robert, free to investigate what her brother Ambrose may have seen at the Institute for Psykical Research before he died.But it is another establishment that Dora is given to look after, The Museum of the Worker. This strange, forgotten edifice is occupied by waxwork tableaux of miners, nurses, shopkeepers and other disturbingly lifelike figures.As the revolution and counter-revolution outside unleash forces of love, betrayal, magic and terrifying darkness, Dora's search for the truth behind a mystery that she has long concealed will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the very edge of worlds.In The Curator, Owen King has created an extraordinary time and place - historical, fantastical, yet compellingly real, and a heroine who is courageous, curious and utterly memorable.

Tyto snímky představují pro ně i pro mě šťastné období. Všechny jsou o bezpochyby největší hudební skupině 20. století, a proto jsou tyto fotografie tak důležité." – Harry Benson, 2012Na začátku roku 1964, dostal Harry Benson nabídku z londýnských novin The Daily Express, aby fotograficky dokumentoval vystoupení Beatles v Paříži a především zachytil podobu francouzské „beatlemánie“ ¨. Práce, kterou přijal, se tak stala vstupenkou na největší jízdu jeho života.Beatles Bensona vřele přivítali a nechali nahlédnout do samého nitra jejich hudebního i soukromého života, což dalo vzniknout velmi intimním fotografiím z doby největší slávy skupiny. V Paříži vznikla slavná fotografie polštářové bitvy v Georgeově hotelovém pokoji. Benson nafotil také jejich přelomovou první návštěvu Spojených států a masivní dopad fanouškovské hysterie na New York, jejich slavné vystoupení v The Ed Sullivan show představuje skupinu na Floridě, včetně jejich nečekaného setkání s Cassiem Clayem.Soubor Bensonových černobílých fotografií ukazuje Beatles zblízka - při komponování, na koncertech, při setkání se svými fanoušky, odpočívající, ale také když se snažili zvládat napjaté vztahy v době, kdy sláva postupně izolovala vztahy mezi jednotlivými členy kapely.Kniha obsahuje kromě stovky fotografií dříve nepublikovaných, také úvodní slova napsaná samotným Bensonem, a bezpočet citací a novinových výstřižků z té doby.Publikace vychází v nakladatelství Taschen jako limitované vydání v počtu pouze 1764 kusů, číslované a podepsané fotografem Harry Bensonem.

Now, those who once served them - the Gifted - are spared only because they have accepted the rebellion's Four Tenets, vastly limiting their own powers. As a young Gifted, Davian suffers the consequences of a war lost before he was even born. He and his friends are despised beyond their school walls for the magical power they wield: a power that Davian, despite his best efforts, cannot seem to control. Worse, with his final test approaching and the consequences of failure severe, time to overcome his struggles is fast running out. But when Davian discovers he wields the forbidden power of the Augurs, he unwittingly sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life - and shake the entire world.
