Centuries before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms turned to ash. The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO’s Game of Thrones.With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R.R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen – the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria – took up residence on Dragonstone.Fire and Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel’s worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel, and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire and Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Vila Tugendhat je jedním ze tří–čtyř děl, které jsou přelomem v kulturních dějinách. Její příklad je nesmírně silný. Po desítky let ovlivňoval architekturu a její tvůrce po celém světě – a ovlivňuje stále. Její poselství je univerzální. Není divu, že probouzí stále sílící pozornost a vede k touze po nalezení odpovědi na otázky, proč právě toto dílo a jaké jsou jeho konstitutivní prvky. Publikace Jana Sapáka završuje tři desetiletí usilovného shromažďování a tříbení poznatků, při současných a neustálých kritických úvahách. Jádrem pojednání je fundamentální výklad rozhodujících architektonických principů, které zde architekt díla uplatnil, a jejich systémové vřazení do obecných procesů zrodu moderní architektury. Interpretace se netýká jen samotné vily Tugendhat, ale i sesterských Miesových prací a stejně převratných děl dalších architektů v onom dějinném úseku. Protože dům byl postaven na konkrétním místě a za účasti konkrétních lidí, zachycuje publikace i tyto souvislosti, neboť dílo bylo též důležitým článkem klíčových dějů ve 20. století. Publikace sestává z vyčerpávajícího množství utříděných informací kvalitativní i kvantitativní podstaty. Část z nich byla dosud neznámá a tudíž nezařazená do náležitých souvislostí. Autor zúročil v této knize mnohaleté pozorování domu ve všech jeho proměnách a nabízí veřejnosti k užitku všestranné odborné znalosti i plody inspirativních a závažných rozprav o tématu s mnoha vůdčími autoritami z celého světa. Vše je provázané v jednom strukturovaném celku. K dobru je přidána precizní znalost řemeslných a technologických postupů a materiálů. Kniha je bohatě obrazově vybavena přibližně 250 dobovými fotografiemi, plány a dokumenty, obrazová část je doplněna i několika snímky současnými.

Odhalte zákulisí vývoje videohry Creaks z dílny českého studia Amanita Design. Tým Radima Jurdy vytvořil podmanivý herní zážitek s jedinečným vizuálním stylem a dechberoucí atmosférou. V knize se dozvíte vše od začátku vývoje, přes vymýšlení unikátního herního designu, až po metodu vzniku interaktivních obrazů v podání Jana Chlupa.

Kniha The Art of Creaks je pomyslnou třešničkou na dortu za 8letým úsilím, které stálo za vznikem hry. Autoři Radim Jurda a Jan Chlup vás vlastními slovy provedou počátkem vývoje, přes mnoho a mnoho konceptů, až po finální audiovizuální dílo, na kterém nakonec spolupracoval celý tým šikovných českých rukou. Artbook obsahuje stovky kreseb a náčrtků, které vznikaly ve skicáků nebo na plátně. Postupně se vše digitalizovalo a ruční animací obživlo v interaktivním herním světě. Hra byla kompletně rozpohybována ploškovou animací, na které se svými zkušenostmi podílel i animátor Pavel Pachta (filmy Fimfárum nebo Na půdě).

Na otázku, proč se tolik významných událostí českých dějin událo v letopočtech, které končí číslicí „osm“, je nesnadné odpovědět. Někdy se hovoří o magické osmičce, která pronásleduje české dějiny po řadu staletí — všimněme si, že čím blíže k naší době, tím je osmička častější. Ale při detailním zkoumání se osmičková výročí jeví jako pevná, byť svým způsobem zvláštně náhodná součást obecnějších dějin, v jejichž rámci není český přínos vždy rozhodujícím (někdy ale ano). Střet římského krále s Přemyslem Otakarem II. byl nepochybně velkou politikou, rok 1848 byl součástí „jara národů“ a rok 1968 byl „pražským jarem“, kde se znovu projevila brutalita sovětského režimu. Rok 1918 souvisel s koncem světové války, v roce 1938 jsme se možná měli bránit, zatímco o deset let později po hitlerovské devastaci myšlení a úspěšné bolševické propagandě jsme znovu podlehli totalitě. Škoda, že rok 1989 vlastně nepřišel o rok dříve.

Art meets food in this sublime celebration of thirty years of cooking and hosting at The Arniano Painting School in Tuscany 'A peculiar attribute of the landscape surrounding Arniano is the ever-changing light. Early in the morning, there is an extraordinary mist that sits in the valley and interweaves through the hills, allowing just the tops to show above the smoky clouds. These changes bring with them new moods and shadows, drawing our painters to different views and areas of the garden throughout the day. By the evening, everything has altered again, and there are often intense sunsets, bringing silhouettes from the trees and much darker, richer, olive colours.' There are many farmhouses in Tuscany, but few are quite so magical as Arniano. It is here, in this 18th-century podere, that Amber Guinness grew up and learned to cook. And it is here that she established The Arniano Painting School, a residential painting course and immersive art and food experience. 'As I look through the recipes and think about the common thread that binds them, I realise that they all exemplify a fundamental principle of Italian home cooking. Which is that simplicity - and keeping ingredients as close to their original form as possible - leads to the most delicious and rewarding food. The beauty of Italian cooking is that it is not about fancy sauces or preparation techniques. Rather, it is about bringing out the best in what you are cooking, through patience, constant tasting and the development of flavour - sometimes using nothing but some olive oil and salt.' Filled with recipes for classic dishes and cocktails, feast curation, seasonal menu suggestions and notes on an Italian pantry and wines, A House Party in Tuscany will transport you to the Tuscan countryside and bring the conviviality of Arniano to your table.

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...

Sbírka pověstí nepověstí z kdysi stříbronosných hor na řece Švarcavě (Svratce). V knize Švarečtí permoníci autor přibližuje pomocí z velké části fiktivních příběhů svět jistých tajemných bytostí, s nimiž lidé v minulých staletích soužili a které jim pomáhaly překonávat často velmi těžké momenty bytí. Jde v mnoha případech o jakousi obrazivost, vnímanou zesíleně v dětských létech, která však v dospělém věku nejednou vyrůstá z folklórního či přímo historického materiálu. Ilustrováno Jiřím Štouračem (1960), místním rodákem, který je znám svými meditativními malbami i kresbami a i díky jeho výtvarnému doprovodu získala kniha Malíř a mor / Le peintre et la peste první místo v soutěži Nejkrásnější česká kniha roku 2019 za nejlepší autorskou práci.

Discover Ernst Haeckel, the 19th-century artist-biologist who found beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. This collection features 450 prints from his most important publications, including the majestic Kunstformen der Natur and his extensive catalogues of marine life. As biodiversity is ever-more threatened, these exquisite images are a scientific, artistic, and environmental masterwork. Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 450 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.

A groundbreaking exploration of how women artists of the 1970s combined art and protest to make sexual violence visible, creating a new kind of art in the presence The 1970s was a time of deep division and newfound freedoms. Galvanized by The Second Sex and The Feminine Mystique, the civil rights movement and the March on Washington, a new generation put their bodies on the line to protest injustice. Still, even in the heart of certain resistance movements, sexual violence against women had reached epidemic levels. Initially, it went largely unacknowledged. But some bold women artists and activists, including Yoko Ono, Ana Mendieta, Marina Abramovic, Adrian Piper, Suzanne Lacy, Nancy Spero and Jenny Holzer, fired up by women’s experiences and the climate of revolution, started a conversation about sexual violence that continues today. Some worked unannounced and unheralded, using the street as their theatre. Others managed to draw support from the highest levels of municipal power. Along the way, they changed the course of art, pioneering a form that came to be called simply performance. Award-winning author Nancy Princenthal takes on these enduring issues and weaves together a new history of performance, challenging us to re-examine the relationship between art and activism, and how we can apply the lessons of that turbulent era to today. 'An important and urgent book, Princenthal's trenchant, honest, complex exploration of the radical representations of sexual violence in the 1970s delineates the upheaval of implicit assumptions about rape, bodies, silence and speech in particular works by individual artists in light of their broader artistic and political meanings and lasting consequences. I read it with breathless, captive attention' Siri Hustvedt 'Takes a tangled history and weaves it into an elegant account' International New York Times

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. A compelling story of a prominent and controversial characters, it is a sumptuous family portrait and an electrifying work of social history.
