Renesanční letohrádek Hvězda patří k symbolům Prahy. Kolektiv badatelů pod vedením Ivana P. Muchky zdůrazňuje, že neobvyklá podoba i mimořádně umělecky kvalitní štuková výzdoba Hvězdy se vymyká českým či evropským loveckým zámkům. Autoři jej uvedli nejen do kontextu habsburské "rekreační" architektury , ale také do kontextu architektury evropské. Univerzální idea stavby určené k sezónnímu odpočinku mezi zelení prochází celým raným novověkem v podstatě nezměněna; konkretizuje se ale v nejrůznějších architektonických realizacích. Mezi specifika pražského letohrádku, která text podrobně analyzuje, patří především půdorys šesticípé hvězdy, překvapivá monumentalita stavby a její zdánlivě bezúčelný pevnostní charakter, technicky velmi náročná střecha, mnohovrstevnatá a současně hravá ikonografie bílých štukových reliéfů v interiéru, jejichž podoba evokuje antický Řím. Stejně tak obora, která byla již v renesanci zkrášlena zřízením širokých alejí, křížících se do obrazce hvězdy, je autory knihy chápána jako významný prvek utvářející charakter Hvězdy. Zásadní vliv při budování letohrádku měl pražský místodržící Ferdinand II. Tyrolský (1529-1595), "inventor" a stavebník Hvězdy. Jeho role u dvora, humanistická osobnost i společenský a otevřený životní styl ovlivnily kulturní prostředí míst, kde pobýval. Letohrádek Hvězda je dílem, které mělo působit uměleckými prostředky, uchvacovat divákovu mysl, atakovat jeho smysl pro krásu a zároveň sloužit ke sportovním aktivitám.

Jedinečné dílo s 91 celobarevnými alchymistickými tabulemi, vytvořenými unikátním spojením umělecké vize Martina Stejskala s umělou inteligencí (konkrétně Dall-E 3). Texty doplnili překladatelé textů alchymistické kolekce "PTAK" (Jakub Hlaváček, Ivo Purš, Martin Stejskal, Vlastimil Šimek, Tomáš Vondrovic , k němuž patřil dnes již zesnulý Vladislav Zadrobílek, známý pod pseudonymem D. Ž. Bor, jemuž je také kniha symbolicky věnována). Spojení "veselé vědy" s alchymií jako esoterický noetický koncept uvedl do literatury zasvěcené této "Hermově vědě" moderní francouzský alchymista a filosof, jehož dvě díla byla vydána pod enigmatickým pseudonymem Fulcanelli. V knize Příbytky filosofů klade "veselou vědu" na roveň "hermetické kabale" a "jazyku ptáků", pomocí nichž měli staří mistři skrývat principy své vědy před davem.

Theory of the Rearguard examines how contemporary art is in tension with survival, rather than in relation to life. In the twentieth century, Peter Burger''s Theory of the Avant-Garde was a cult book focused on the two main tasks that art demanded at the time: to break its representation and to destroy the barrier that separated it from life. Forty years later, The Theory of the Rearguard is an ironic manifesto about contemporary art and its failures, even though Ivan de la Nuez does not waste his time mourning it or disguising it. He argues that our times are not characterized by the distance between art and life, but by a tension between art and survival, which is the continuation of life by any means necessary. In the twenty-first century, Ivan de la Nuez examines art in relationship to politics, iconography, and literature. This austere and sharp book in which Duchamp stumbles upon Lupe, the revolution upon the museum, Paul Virilio upon Joan Fontcuberta or Fukuyama upon Michael Jackson wonders if contemporary art will ever end. Because if it were mortal-''just as mortal as everything it invokes or examines under its magnifying glass''-de la Nuez argues would be worth writing ... Unknown localization key: "more"

*Winner of the 2020 Lionel Gelber Prize*FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST, PROSPECT and EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR PICKA landmark book that completely transforms our understanding of the crisis of liberalism, from two pre-eminent intellectualsWhy did the West, after winning the Cold War, lose its political balance?In the early 1990s, hopes for the eastward spread of liberal democracy were high. And yet the transformation of Eastern European countries gave rise to a bitter repudiation of liberalism itself, not only in the East but also back in the heartland of the West.In this brilliant work of political psychology, Ivan Krastev and Stephen Holmes argue that the supposed end of history turned out to be only the beginning of an Age of Imitation. Reckoning with the history of the last thirty years, they show that the most powerful force behind the wave of populist xenophobia that began in Eastern Europe stems from resentment at the post-1989 imperative to become Westernized.Through this prism, the Trump revolution represents an ironic fulfillment of the promise that the nations exiting from communist rule would come to resemble the United States.

The Taste of Lightning is a new selection of poems by Ivan V. Lalic, one of 20th-century Yugoslavia’s most crucial poets. Lalic’s poetry is alive with seeing and feeling the world – a world of sun and wind, water and fire. He is also a poet of love – a love for his wife Branka that ‘matures like wine’ over the decades. From adolescence, through young adulthood, to the onset of old age, where ‘We are twin foci of the same ellipse… Which links two other foci: death and love.’But for Lalic, the seen and the felt need to be held in memory if they are to last beyond the instant. This means putting them into words, in speech or a poem, though doing so distances us from the raw freshness of experience: ‘Images I barter for the right to pronounce them, / Names I slip as a bribe to time’. Memory, for Lalic, is also cultural. Many of his poems speak about Yugoslavia’s Eastern and Western heritages. About his native Serbia’s history and landscape, and its roots in Byzantium and ultimately in Ancient Greece. But also the seascapes and culture of the Croatian Adriatic, and of Italy.The Taste of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

This volume centres on the collaborative work of Ivan Berend and György Ránki, begun in Hungary in the 1950s and continuing till Ranki''s death in 1988, but includes papers by each individually as well as those written jointly. The subject is the social and economic history of Central and Eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a particular focus upon Hungary. The first part looks at the troubled German-Hungarian relations during Hitler''s rule; although focusing on Hungary, it also provides an understanding of the economic ties between Germany and Central and Eastern Europe during the turbulent war years. The economic and political problems of the region in the interwar years are dealt with in the second part. Two of the four studies in the final section present the efforts and strict limitations of reforms in state socialist Hungary. The other two analyze the post-communist economic transformation of Central and Eastern Europe during the 1990s in a broad international context.

Is it possible to build a star on earth?When asked what problem he hoped scientists will have solved by the end of the century, Professor Stephen Hawking replied ''I would like nuclear fusion to become a practical power source. It would provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, without pollution or global warming.'' But what is nuclear fusion, and could it really be the answer to the climate emergency? Fusion exists already in the stars that fill our universe with light, but can we harness that power here on earth? This is the question The Star Builders seeks to answer. In his compelling new book, Dr Arthur Turrell makes the case for cutting-edge new techniques in nuclear energy - innovations that would allow us to recreate the power of the stars on our own planet. Filled with the remarkable stories of the scientists and entrepreneurs who have dedicated their lives to a seemingly impossible dream, The Star Builders is an unmissable insight into the future of life - and space - on our planet.

Clear all moorings, one-half impulse power and set course for a mare incognitum... A popular culture artifact of the New Frontier/Space Race era, Star Trek is often mistakenly viewed as a Space Western. However, the Western format is not what governs the worldbuilding of Star Trek, which was, after all, also pitched as "Hornblower in space." Star Trek is modeled on the world of the "British Golden Age of Sail" as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. This book re-historicizes and remaps the origins of the franchise and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world--the Star Trek continuum--on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.

The Penwith Peninsula in Cornwall is where the land ends. In The Swordfish and the Star Gavin Knight takes us into this huddle of grey roofs at the edge of the sea at the beginning of the twenty-first century. He catches the stories of a whole community, but especially those still working this last frontier: the Cornish fishermen. These are the dreamers and fighters who every day prepare for battle with the vast grey Atlantic. Cornwall and its seas are brought to life, mixing drinking and drugs and sea spray, moonlit beaches and shattering storms, myth and urban myth. The result is an arresting tapestry of a place we thought we knew; the precarious reality of life in Cornwall today emerges from behind our idyllic holiday snaps and picture postcards. Even the quaint fishermen’s pubs on the quay at Newlyn, including the Swordfish and its neighbour the Star, turn out to be places where squalls can blow up, and down again, in an instant. Based on immersive research and rich with the voices of a cast of remarkable characters, this is an eye-opening, dramatic, poignant account of life on Britain’s most dangerous stretch of coast.Praise for Hood Rat ''A gripping ...
