Kniha Arnolda Aronsona, profesora divadelních studií Columbia University v New Yorku, systematicky, kvalifikovaně a přitom velmi čtivě mapuje vývoj amerického alternativního divadla. Vrací se k jeho kořenům, výstižně charakterizuje široký kulturní, společenský i umělecký kontext jeho vzniku a zejména poučenými a kritickými analýzami seznamuje čtenáře s jeho nejvýznamnějšími osobnostmi, soubory a inscenacemi. Aronson sleduje jak vnější podmínky rozvoje americké divadelní avantgardy, tak vlivy zakotvené uvnitř uměleckého vývoje, jako byly myšlenky a umělecké postupy Marcela Duchampa, Gertrude Steinové, Antonína Artauda či Johna Cage. Postupné zakořeňování těchto postupů sleduje autor na příkladě experimentů v Black Mountain College, happeningů (například Alana Kaprowa), či v díle Living Theatre. Aronson dále připomíná kolektivní duch 60. let, vznik a existenci Open Theatre, vznik rituálního divadla a postupného jeho přerodu do divadla performancí, jako je Schechnerova Performance Group, nebo Serbanovy divadelní experimenty v LaMaMa. Kniha zachycuje, jak se v 70. a 80. letech avantgardní hnutí dále štěpí, performance se individualizuje, od rituálu se na jedné straně vrací k estetizaci jako v dílech Roberta Wilsona, Richarda Foremana a Wooster Group, a dále k extrémním projevům tzv. "body art" na pomezí masochismu a sebepoškozování, i individuálním performancím zakotveným v autobiografické sféře performera (Spaulding Grey, Laurie Anderson). (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Kniha Arnolda Aronsona Looking into the Abyss (Pohled do propasti) je výborem esejů, přednášek, proslovů a článků předního amerického divadelního historika a teoretika, jehož prvotním předmětem zkoumání a zájmu je scénografie jako nedílná součást divadelní inscenace, její vizuality, která má stejnou důležitost jako slovo, pohyb herce, zvuk, hudba apod. Dalším důležitým aspektem je chápání divadla jako prostorového umění v čase a s interaktivní účastí diváka. Nechápe tedy scénografii pouze jako výtvarné umění, které je možné studovat odděleně od všech ostatních složek. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Five decades after it was first published, Jack Kerouac's seminal Beat novel On the Road finally finds its way to the big screen, in a production from award-winning director Walter Salles (Motorcycle Diaries) starring Sam Riley (Control, Brighton Rock), Garret Hedlund (Friday Night Lights), Kristen Stewart (Twilight), Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams and Viggo Mortensen. Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young innocent, joins his hero Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a traveller and mystic, the living epitome of Beat, on a breathless, exuberant ride back and forth across the United States.

When Darwin set sail at the end of 1831, it was only with a vague notion that all life forms, both present and extinct, were more strongly related than the Christian version of the world's creation purported them to be. During his five-year voyage of research and discovery on board HMS Beagle, and later from his home in Kent, he painstakingly collected a mass of evidence from across the planet - from Paraguay and the Galapagos Islands to Staffordshire and Scotland - building a compelling case for a theory that would change the world we live in - and the way we look at it - for ever.The foundation of evolutionary biology and natural selection - which prompted as huge a revolution in the fields of science and religion as Copernicus's heliocentric model of the universe and Newton's law of gravity, Darwin's On the Origin of Species is perhaps the most important book of scientific observation ever written.

In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates "The River," or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape-and dominate-so much of modern life.These professional risk takers-poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors-can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century.By embedding within these worlds, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI.The River has increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset-including the flaws in their thinking-is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today. There are certain commonalities in this otherwise diverse group: high tolerance for risk; appreciation of uncertainty; affinity for numbers; skill at de-coupling; self-reliance and a distrust of the conventional wisdom. For the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it, without going beyond the pale.Taking us behind-the-scenes from casinos to venture capital firms to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply-reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of powerbrokers and risk takers.

Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'.

His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Album s názvem On the Waves je druhým albem kapely Voila!, a kromě již tradiční francouzštiny na něm zazní písně v angličtině, ale i ve slovenštině, což je mateřština zpěvačky kapely Zdenky Trvalcové, často právem označované za slovenskou Zaz. Album, na němž VOILA! nově využívá i elektronické prvky, vznikalo ve studiu Golden Hive u Filipa Jelínka (J.A.R, Illustratosphere), který se na něm spolupodílel i produkčně. Na albu hostuje 13 skvělých hudebníků, z nichž se většina objeví i na podiu v Lucerně. Album On the Waves volně navazuje na první album Décollage (2014), a bylo opět inspirováno příběhy z cest zpěvačky Zdenky.
