Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of modern Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.

Vedle světových metropolích - Paříži, New Yorku, Londýnu - portrétoval Miroslav Šašek také země - Řecko, Austrálii, Irsko, Texas… a také Izrael. Obrazový průvodce po Izraeli zachycuje tento "mladý" stát (kniha vznikla v roce 1962, pouhých čtrnáct let po deklaraci nezávislého státu) a Šaškovo vyprávění je plné odkazů na historii dávnou, vpravdě biblickou. "A podívejte se, jaká je ta země a jaký lid v ní bydlí," nabádá bible - a Miroslav Šašek tak činí. Vidí Izrael plný připomínek Ježíšových zázraků i moderních letišť a slunečních elektráren, Izrael pokrytý pouští i lidnatými městy. Izrael ortodoxních židů i pouličních malířů. Izrael dávný i dnešní.

Irsko. Na tomhle ostrově najdete všechny odstíny zelené. A taky nejstarší palírnu whiskey, schodiště, které postavil obr, skřítky a asi největší koncentraci hospod i čtyřlístků na světě. Aspoň tak to před víc než půlstoletím viděl Miroslav Šašek. Vedle světových metropolí - Paříže, New Yorku, Londýna - portrétoval Miroslav Šašek také země. Irsko jej uchvátilo a ve svém průvodci zachytil nejen hory a pastviny, ale také města a jejich obyvatele. V knize se vrství pohledy na Irsko středověké a současné, ale taky pohádkové a reálné.

Ponořte se do světa kouzelných ilustrací Miroslava Šaška, českého spisovatele a ilustrátora, který procestoval celý svět. Mnozí z nás znají jeho tvorbu zejména v podobě řady turistických průvodců pro děti nazvaných To je… S lehkostí sobě vlastní a s velkou úctou k zobrazovaným místům v nich dětem i dospělým představil mnoho světových metropolí a dalších míst – Paříž, Londýn, New York, Hongkong, ale také například Austrálii, americkou kosmickou základnu Cape Canaveral a mnoho dalších. Získaly si světovou proslulost a motivy z jejich ilustrací se objevují i na pohlednicích, plakátech a užitkových předmětech. Šašek však nezůstával jenom u knih pro děti. Kromě průvodců po městech a zemích vydal další autorské knížky, řadu titulů ilustroval, pro rádio Svobodná Evropa, kde pracoval v padesátých letech 20. století jako hlasatel, herec a ilustrátor, později pravidelně psal a namlouval fejetony a postřehy ze svých cest po světě. Seznamte se spolu s námi s jeho bohatou tvorbou, ale i s Miroslavem Šaškem jako člověkem, mezinárodně uznávaným umělcem a světoběžníkem. Jeho domovem byla celá planeta. To byl… Miroslav Šašek.

Obrazový průvodce Miroslava Šaška po nám blízké metropoli doplněný o sešit Mnichovská oklika současné autorky Magdaleny Rutové. Knihu klasika a světově uznávaného ilustrátora doplňuje vtipný a aktuální pohled o několik generací mladší výtvarnice. Srdcem byl Miroslav Šašek doma především v Paříži, ale zázemí a přátele, kteří mluvili jeho rodnou řečí, a později i lásku a rodinu, měl v Mnichově. V letech 1951-1957 zde pracoval v redakci Rádia Svobodná Evropa, do jehož vysílání - jak rozhořčeně referoval Československý rozhlas padesátých let - "přinesl mravy pařížských šantánů". A vracel se sem celý život. Snad proto se s úsměvem dívá na břichaté pány v lederhosen, pivnice, poněkud těžkopádnou architekturu a dokonce i na föhn, nepříjemný vítr, způsobující Mnichovanům bolesti hlavy.

Přichází další kniha z edice průvodců od světově uznávaného ilustrátora Miroslava Šaška, v případě Řecka doplněný o aktuální a osobní pohled současné výtvarnice Nikoly Logosové. Řecko - jak zachytit zemi, která je bohatá na dějiny, slunce a mramor, tak jako Řecko? Miroslav Šašek na to jde po svém: s lehkým humorem i s úžasem nad vším tím, co právě tady bylo řečeno, vymyšleno nebo vytvořeno poprvé v lidské historii... A občas se mu - stejně jako všem ostatním, kdo se umějí dívat - zjevují staří bohové. A někdy se nechají i namalovat.

Město, které má jen jednu chybu: zatraceně těžko se z něj odjíždí - jak na vlastní kůži vyzkoušel Miroslav Šašek. Další z obrazových průvodců Miroslava Šaška zavádí čtenáře přes oceán a po New Yorku je to druhé americké město, do kterého se můžete s autorem vydat. Místní ocenili knihu nejen velkým zájmem, ale také slavnostním klíčem od San Franciska, věnovaným Miroslavu Šaškovi.

Vtipně a vnímavě - tak jako ve svých předchozích knihách o Paříži, Londýnu a Římu - kreslí Miroslav Šašek město superlativů New York. Holanďan, který v roce 1626 za zboží v hodnotě 24 dolarů koupil ostrov Manhattan, sotva tušil, že udělal nejlepší obchod v dějinách Ameriky. Dnes je ve městě, které na ostrově vyrostlo, všechno buď velké, nebo rovnou největší - budovy, auta, dopravní zácpy, nedělní noviny i příběhy. Platilo to v roce 1960, kdy kniha vyšla poprvé, stejně jako dnes, na začátku 21. století. Krása a kouzlo plné kontrastů: TO JE NEW YORK!

Všechny cesty vedou do Říma a zavedly tam i malíře a ilustrátora Miroslava Šaška. Věčným městem, kolébkou antiky, příbytkem králů, císařů i papežů nás Šašek provádí - jako obvykle - s humorem i poetickou zkratkou. Zachycuje Řím takový, jaký byl před více než čtyřiceti lety a jaký je i dnes: jižanská atmosféra ulic a náměstí, Italové na mopedech, neutuchající automobilové šílenství a všudypřítomné davy zvědavých turistů. Dokázal však vyhmátnout to nejpodstatnější z římských pamětihodností a míst a uspořádat je v jednoduché a funkční procházky. V Římě, v tom chaotickém a divukrásném městě, kde se protínají dějiny, a které patří k nejnavštěvovanějším metropolím světa, s Miroslavem Šaškem rozhodně nezabloudíte.

Cesta na Měsíc: pro někoho výsledek úsilí stovek špičkových inženýrů a vědců z mnoha oborů, pro jiného nejlepší klukovská hra, jaká se dá vymyslet… Pro Miroslava Šaška, zdá se, obojí. Další z obrazových průvodců Miroslava Šaška zavádí čtenáře na Floridu, ale vlastně mnohem dál. Ukazuje lidské snahy dostat se do vesmíru. Autor se brouzdá po mysu Canaveral, po plážích, městečku i kosmickém středisku a nachází rakety všeho druhu - nejdřív papírové, pak i ty opravdové, vesmírné. V době, kdy Miroslav Šašek knížku psal, byla cesta na Měsíc ještě snem, ale jeho splnění už bylo na dosah...

Na britské ostrovy se Miroslav Šašek vydal několikrát. Jako druhý ze svých průvodců sepsal a nakreslil To je Londýn a jako poslední knihu o historické Británii. Teď můžete s Šaškem navštívit Edinburgh: ten výlet stojí za to, ať už skotskou metropoli znáte, nebo ji objevíte teprve prostřednictvím téhle knížky.

Všechno, co uvidíte v Texasu, je největší - buď ve vesmíru, nebo na světě, nebo ve Spojených státech, anebo aspoň ve městě.

Ano, toto je Paříž! První ze série slavných ilustrovaných průvodců světoznámého českého emigranta, ilustrátora, malíře, komentátora a redaktora rádia Svobodná Evropa Miroslava Šaška. Jeho procházka po Paříži proběhla před padesáti lety, je však překvapivě aktuální. Ač dnes v matce všech měst ubylo domovníků, koček i poštovních schránek, tržnice"les Halles" se přesunuly do jiných čtvrtí a přibylo aut, její střechy jsou stále stříbrnošedé, bulváry široké, v kavárnách je od rána plno a voní tam máslové croissanty i dobrá káva. Procházet se Paříží je zkrátka pořád skvělé: ať už si jen listujete touto knihou, anebo ji strčíte podpaží a vydáte se objevovat na vlastní oči. Šaškovy knihy jsou nejen výborným průvodcem po městě, ale představují města taková, jaká jsou: okouzlující i obyčejná, plná slavných památek i drobných momentek všedního dne, a autor nezapomíná ani na děti, hry a atrakce, domácí mazlíčky, typické profese, oslovení… Své knihy tvořil uprostřed míst, o kterých psal: "Musíš se s těmi lidmi sžít, musíš je trochu poznat a oni musí poznat tebe… (…) Pak to začneš vidět jejich očima, pak už to nejsou jen domy a pamětihodnosti, ale život, takovej obyčejnej život, a ten ty města dělá."

From the award-winning author of Finding Home and Rescue Cats: a dazzling collection of photographs of cats throughout the iconic city of Rome. Whether you are a cat lover, armchair traveler, or photography buff, Traer Scott’s Cats of Rome will entice you into this ancient city that is home to more than 300,000 cats. Of these, at least one-third are thought to be feral. As Roman cats are protected by law, they have the right to live where they choose in architectural ruins, parks, and neighborhoods throughout the city. In seventy-five brilliant color photographs, Rome’s feline denizens are shown as they live naturally among stunning, classical backdrops, with visual whispers of the gattaras—the often nameless and plentiful women of Rome who volunteer to care for the feral colonies.

''Grand narrative underpinned by serious reading'' Guardian. ''Confident, elegant... Admirably ambitious'' Daily Mail. From Romulus and Remus to the films of Fellini, Rome has always exerted a hold on the world''s imagination. Now Ferdinand Addis brings the city of Rome to life by concentrating on vivid episodes from its long and unimaginably rich history. Each beautifully composed chapter is an evocative, self-contained narrative, whether it is the murder of Caesar; the near-destruction of the city by the Gauls in 387 BC; the construction of the Colosseum and the fate of the gladiators; Bernini''s creation of the Baroque masterpiece that is St Peter''s Basilica; the brutal crushing of republican dreams in 1849; the sinister degeneration of Mussolini''s first state, or the magical, corrupt Rome of Fellini''s La Dolce Vita. This is an epic, kaleidoscopic history of a city indelibly associated with republicanism and dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy and its rivals, high art and low life in all its forms.

In the late Iron Age, Rome was a small collection of huts arranged over a few hills. By the third century BC, it had become a large and powerful city, with monumental temples, public buildings and grand houses. It had conquered the whole of Italy and was poised to establish an empire. But how did it accomplish this historic transformation? This book explores the development of Rome during this period, and the nature of its control over Italy, considering why and how the Romans achieved this spectacular dominance. For Rome was only one of a number of emerging centres of power during this period. From its complex forms of government, to its innovative connections with other states, Kathryn Lomas shows what set Rome apart. Examining the context and impact of the city''s dominance, as well as the key political, social and economic changes it engendered, this is crucial reading for anyone interested in Ancient Rome.

A frantic love letter to love itself, Romeo & Seahorse is a sexy, frightening, tender, and visceral rush through Berlin''s chemsex scene. Romeo has Hepatitis again. It''s no surprise, and when you haven''t slept for days staying awake is easy. And anyway, there''s the promise of more drugs, more sex. Leaving his boyfriend at home he heads out for hookups, getting abjectly high and pushing his body to grotesque extremes in an urgent but dissociated quest for romance. What follows is a delirious trip through squalid rooms, hospital wards, and nighttime parks, broken by memories of first loves, European travels, and meditations on what it means to be a Romeo. With chaotic chemsex escapades and musings on romantic love, art and belonging, Romeo & Seahorse takes us to places not often explored in fiction. Written in a relentless, frenzied first-person narrative with moments of mind-bending wisdom and poignancy, this is a one-of-a-kind novel about addiction, desire, belonging, and want that''s destined to become a queer classic.

Winners Take All meets Nickel and Dimed in this provocative debunking of accepted wisdom, providing the pathway to a sustainable, survivable economy. Confronted by the terrifying trends of the early twenty-first century – widening inequality, environmental destruction, and the immiseration of millions of workers around the world – many economists and business leaders still preach dogmas that lack evidence and create political catastrophe: Private markets are always more efficient than public ones; investment capital flows efficiently to necessary projects; massive inequality is the unavoidable side effect of economic growth; people are selfish and will only behave well with the right incentives. But a growing number of people – academic economists, business owners, policy entrepreneurs, and ordinary people – are rejecting these myths and reshaping economies around the world to reflect ethical and social values. Though they differ in approach, all share a vision of the economy as a place of moral action and accountability. Journalist Nick Romeo has spent years covering the world’s most innovative economic and policy ideas for The New Yorker. Romeo takes us on an extraordinary journey through the unforgettable stories and successes of people working to build economies that are more equal, just, and livable. Combining ...

With barbarians at the gate and enemies within, two men must fight for the soul of the Republic and the greatest empire in the world.Inside a cave hacked out of the rock, lit by flickering torches, two young boys appeal to the famed Roman oracle for a glimpse into their future.

THIS IS PHILOSOPHY “The second edition of This is Philosophy improves upon an excellent first edition. This clear, succinct book is quite possibly the best introduction to Western philosophy on the market.” —Gregory Morgan, Stevens Institute of Technology“This is a terrific book. The writing is not only extremely clear, it is downright gripping—with relevant and detailed examples at every turn. Steven Hales has produced not just a great little introduction to philosophy—he has produced a great little book in philosophy, period.” —Michael Lynch, University of Connecticut“Hales clearly explains important philosophical ideas with a minimum of jargon and without sacrificing depth of content and he consistently gives a fair and accurate presentation of both sides of central philosophical disputes.” —Matthew Van Cleave, Teaching PhilosophyAs the oldest discipline in the academy, philosophy began by asking questions of the world and of human nature. Philosophers are responsible for the Enlightenment and laid the foundations for constitutional governments.
