Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'Born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south.

The great Dutch author and traveller Cees Nooteboom (author of Roads to Santiago and The Following Story) sheds new light on the city, its history and its treasures VENICE: "A dream of palaces and churches, of power and money, dominion and decline, a paradise of beauty." By the author of Roads to Santiago and Roads to BerlinWith this treasury of his time spent in Venice over a period of fifty-five years, Nooteboom makes himself the indispensable companion for all lovers of "the sailing, amphibious city", and for every new visitor.Because he is a master storyteller with an inexhaustible curiosity, and always with a suitcase of books (to which new discoveries are added), he brings vividly and poetically to life not only the tumultuous history of the Republic but along the way its doges, its villains, its heroes, its magnificent painters, its architects, its scholars, its skies, its canals and piazzas and alleyways, and on his expeditions its "bronze voices of time".Those who know and love this city and its literature will recognise Nooteboom - in Laura Watkinson's fine translation - as the dazzling heir and companion to Montaigne, Thomas Mann, Rilke, Ruskin, Proust, Brodsky, and Donna Leon. His homage to Venice is a generous introduction, learned and enchanting, and worthy of its magnificent subject."His writing is lyrical and densely textured. He is a poet of time and memory" - COLIN THUBRONTranslated from the Dutch by Laura Watkinson

Akustický obraz Pokud právě budujete své nové studio nebo řešíte akustiku toho stávajícího, zvažte investici do kvalitních akustických prvků Razzor Acoustic, které mají oproti nejlevnějšímu řešení v podobě různých pěnových panelů zásadní výhodu v mnohem vyšší účinnosti. Akustické rámy Razzor Acoustic jsou vyráběny v České republice a disponují zřetelně vyššími absorpčními schopnostmi při redukci nebo úplném pohlcení určitých frekvencí, nežli často preferované nejlevnější řešení z pěny. V rámu o velikosti 600 x 600 x 100 mm je umístěn absorpční materiál Envizol TB OH 50, což je ekologická minerální vata s nejvyšší účinností a gramáží 50 kg/m3. Tento materiál, na rozdíl od jiných minerálních vat neuvolňuje nebezpečné mikro střípky a je sám o sobě plně recyklovatelný. Jeho hlavní vlastností je vynikající efektivní absorpce 50% u frekvence 150 Hz, a kompletní absorpce od 300 Hz výše! Další výhodou je samotný design a estetický vzhled. Rám vyrobený z truhlářské 18 mm silné březové překližky (EN 636-2, S, E1) je opatřen medovým finišem a celý panel je potažen bavlněnou tkaninou (210 - 350 g/m2, 80%CO + 20%PES). Na pohled krásný panel tak působí značně lepším dojmem, nežli pěnové pyramidy chytající prach.

Translated by George Chapman, with Introductions by Jan Parker.Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector''s body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer''s heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia.Chapman''s Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and readable translations of Homer. Chapman''s freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought.

Hailed as one of the most significant figures of early Modernism and at the same time condemned for his work and his morals – the discussion about Gauguin, his art and his character is still relevant today. Especially at a time where #MeToo is shedding new light on Gauguin’s relationship with adolescent girls and his share in colonialism in French Polynesia. Gauguin – The Master, the Monster and the Myth is the first in-depth biography about the artist written by a Danish writer. The publication shares new insights about Gauguin – about his complex character as an artist and a human being. It challenges the traditional ideas we have about his life and work. Flemming Friborg unfolds the fascinating story about Gauguin’s life and the millieu of Impressionism that he was a part of but also at the same time distinguishing himself from. The book shows how his method and moral was bound in a carefully maintained, personal brand and therefore the master and the monster must be seen as inseparable – and therefore, as a result of this, Gaugain’s legacy and status as a genius artist remains unclear.

Kombinovaný konektor Speakon pro výstup reproduktoru má buď standardní 1/4” připojení nebo uzamykatelný konektor Speakon pro extra bezpečnost. The Amp má integrovaný sluchátkový zesilovač, který zní stejně jako výstup z reproduktoru. To je ideální pro praxi, zkoušení pedálů nebo pro chvíle, kdy potřebujete hrát ticho. The Amp může fungovat bez připojeného reproduktoru, takže může být v umístěn klidně v pedalboardu s ostatními pedály. The Amp má univerzální IEC vstup. Může pracovat od 100 do 260 VAC. Bez ohledu na to, kde na Zemi se nachází, lze jej zapojit do elektrické zásuvky a používat bez potřeby dalšího napájecího příslušenství. Interní XLR výstup poskytuje vyvážený linkový výstup. Není zahrnuto žádné modelování nebo simulace, žádné menu nebo presety. Je velmi přímočaré a snadné získat skvělý tón z lampového předzesilovače The Amp a použít jej jako přední část pro modelovací systém, nahrávací setup nebo pro přímé hraní na pódiu. The Amp má také výstup „pedal level“, kde jej lze použít jako přední konec pedalboardu nebo jako „amp-like“ efekt na zadním konci pedalboardu. Neexistuje žádná náhrada za dokonalý souzvuk mezi magnetickým kytarovým snímačem a prvním stupněm elektronkového zesilovače, a to je něco, co mnohdy chybí v moderních pedalboardových setupech. Použití The Amp před efektovým řetězcem přidá harmonickou a elektronkovou muzikálnost do celého signálního řetězce, který začíná přesně tam, kde na tom záleží nejvíc: mezi kytarovým snímačem a elektronkou. Použití The Amp dále v signálovém řetězci vytváří jedinečné tonální možnosti. Dobře funguje s pedály a ke stávajícímu zesilovači může přidat extra EQ nebo reverb. The Amp může řídit vstup zesilovače jako extra elektronkový zesilovací stupeň. Může být jako záloha pro vintage zesilovač, který potřebuje servis, nebo se může použít namísto nekvalitního místního vybavení na vašem turné. S hmotností 2,5 liber a tolika různými způsoby použití může být The Amp vaším novým nejlepším přítelem.

Amp 100 je dalším vysokovýkonným přírůstkem do modelové řady The Amp, která v roce 2018 nastavila standard pro elektronkové zesilovače vhodné do pedalboardů/hybridní kytarové zesilovače třídy D. Maximální výkon byl zvýšen na 100 W a byl přidán integrovaný zesilovací obvod FET a dvojité ovládání reverbu. Černá povrchová úprava s dřevěnými postranními panely a stříbrnými knoflíky doplňuje pěkný vzhled.V Amp 100 interní FET boost začíná při jednotném zesílení a může fungovat jako 'always on' EQ "vylepšovač", jemně zesilující střední frekvence, nebo jako výkonný drive, který tlačí elektronku 12AX7 do plné saturace. Boost je umístěn mezi triodami předzesilovací elektronky. Vnitřní umístění boostu zachovává interakci mezi vstupem nástroje a prvním elektronkovým stupněm a také zvyšuje světlou výšku, takže Amp 100 může stále dobře fungovat s externím pohonem a boost pedály.Amp 100 má systém duálního ovládání reverbu, který přidává ovládání pro čas doznívání i směs reverbu. Ovládání doznívání má velmi široký rozsah.Amp 100 sdílí všechny skvělé vlastnosti The Amp: linkový výstup studiové kvality se simulací kabinetu, výstup pro pedály, výstup pro sluchátka a univerzální napájení.

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Andrew Frayn, Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture at Edinburgh Napier University.In these two compelling novels H.G. Wells imagines terrifying futures in which civilisation itself is threatened.The narrator of The War of the Worlds is quick to discover that what appeared to be a falling star was, in fact, a metallic cylinder landing from Mars. Six million people begin to flee London in panic as tentacled invaders emerge and overpower the city. With their heat-ray, killing machines, black gas, and a taste for fresh human blood, is there anything that can be done to stop the Martians?In The War in the Air, naive but resourceful Bert Smallways is thrilled by speed and fascinated by the new flying machines. His curiosity sweeps him away by accident into a German plan to conquer America, beginning with the destruction of New York. The ease of movement in aerial warfare means that nothing and nobody is safe as Total War erupts, civilisation crumbles, and Bert's hopes of getting back to London to marry his love seem impossibly distant.

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan."
