A whole new way of looking at the world - and your life - inspired by centuries-old Japanese wisdom. Wabi sabi ("wah-bi sah-bi") is a captivating concept from Japanese aesthetics, which helps us to see beauty in imperfection, appreciate simplicity and accept the transient nature of all things. With roots in zen and the way of tea, the timeless wisdom of wabi sabi is more relevant than ever for modern life, as we search for new ways to approach life's challenges and seek meaning beyond materialism. Wabi sabi is a refreshing antidote to our fast-paced, consumption-driven world, which will encourage you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and be gentler on yourself. It will help you simplify everything, and concentrate on what really matters. From honouring the rhythm of the seasons to creating a welcoming home, from reframing failure to ageing with grace, wabi sabi will teach you to find more joy and inspiration throughout your perfectly imperfect life. This book is the definitive guide to applying the principles of wabi sabi to transform every area of your life, and finding happiness right where you are. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka: Between Image and Language traces the writer Franz Kafka's interest in modern art and visual culture. Examining Kafka's relationship to visuality, the book explores the diversity of images that surrounded Kafka in his home city of Prague-a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences. It maps how Kafka engaged with local painting and sculpture, architecture, and monuments, and also with an array of popular visual media and phenomena from illustrated magazines and advertising to film, photography, dance, and cabaret. Kafka's attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student.

Since the ’90s, Sandro Vannini has created complete photographic reproductions that reveal murals and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Marking the centenary of Howard Carter’s first expedition and a series of international exhibitions, this comprehensive guide combines contemporary understanding of ancient Egyptian afterlife with Vannini’s super high-resolution photography to cast an enthralling light on the voyage the pharaoh was thought to make after death. Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be entered following the final judgment.When acclaimed photographer Sandro Vannini started his work in Egypt in the late ’90s, a technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous multi-shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic reproductions that revealed colors in their original tones with vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover the objects’ quintessential features alongside the sophisticated and cleverly hidden details.This comprehensive guide marks the centenary of Carter’s first excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless splendor. From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life, Vannini’s portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian culture—but it is Tutankhamun’s unique legacy that dominates these images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist Mohamed Megahed, and chapter introductions from scholars in the field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworld puts much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists including Salima Ikram and David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title a fitting tribute to the Boy King’s odyssey, illuminating an epoch that spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years. The photographer Sandro Vannini started his career as a photographer in 1982, and today lives and works between Italy and Egypt. Active in the latter since 1997, and with special permission to access sites forbidden to the public, he has compiled an extensive visual archive of ancient Egyptian culture. Along the way, he first pioneered techniques that enable the use of leading digital photography in the extreme temperatures in the Valley of the Kings. Vannini’s photographs are among those assisting the work of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in the restoration of artifacts. Since 2016, he has been directing and producing television programs and documentary series in collaboration with Zahi Hawass, and is also the author of several books. TASCHEN turns 40 this year!

Intriguing stories of creative endeavour, volatile relationships, excessive lifestyles and bizarre events from the world of rock, as told by Hipgnosis co-founder, creative designer, photographer and filmmaker Aubrey Powell Founded in 1968 by Aubrey “Po” Powell, Storm Thorgerson and Peter Christopherson, graphic design firm Hipgnosis gained a legendary status by transforming the look of album art through their designs for AC/DC, Black Sabbath, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, Syd Barrett, and The Who. In this lively volume, Powell presents brutally honest, entertaining and revealing insider stories from the world of rock, featuring an eclectic cast of pop stars, comedians, actors, managers, gangsters, and inspirational world figures from 1966 on. His thrilling narrative is packed with anecdotes - from the founding of Hipgnosis to surviving drugs busts, and from the creative process behind the most iconic album artworks of all time to mounting the Pink Floyd exhibition, Their Mortal Remains - and is richly illustrated with Hipgnosis artwork and Powell’s own photographs. Drama and creativity are the common threads throughout these amazing stories. With candor and insightful reflection, Powell reveals how he and Storm became an effective creative partnership despite their volatile relationship; how the final colour artwork for Led Zeppelin’s Houses Of The Holy was created; how the most iconic album cover of all time – The Dark Side Of The Moon – came about; and how the 2017 Pink Floyd retrospective became the largest and most successful music exhibition ever mounted by the Victoria and Albert Museum – despite the deeply antagonistic and dysfunctional relationship between Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Throughout, Powell exposes how the trappings of fame and glory upset the balance of everyday life, bringing creativity and destruction in equal measure. Packed with exciting insider stories and anecdotes featuring famous musicians, managers, and actors, Through the Prism is a must-have for music and pop-culture fans.With 253 illustrations (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Water. The origin of life. The stroke of luck among cosmic coincidences. The chameleon of molecules that makes all the difference. Every living entity depends on its existence. Yet in and of itself, water appears rather modest. Colorless and tasteless, it is only in its environment that water comes to life, receiving color through the reflection of the sky, and dynamism in its movement along rivers, over mountains, oceans, and plains. Photographer Rudi Sebastian has dedicated his photographic life to water in all its forms. For the last few years he has traveled the globe to capture every imaginable facet of this essential substance in all its liquid, gaseous, and solid forms. The result is an exquisite photographic book that presents an unprecedented spectrum of this miracle substance—from a pond to the endless expanse of the Pacific, from the ice of the polar regions to the salt-encrusted lakes of the great deserts. Taking stylistic inspiration from Monet and classical modernism, Sebastian’s images ripple with texture and ever-moving colors. His waterscapes are as vivid as the substance itself, a rich tribute to the planet’s life force. Accompanying texts reveal the natural history and wonders of water on earth. Where did it come from? What role has it played in the emergence of life? This photographic journey takes us all over the truly blue planet to remind us that water is never just water but a whole universe of diversity and beauty. Rudi Sebastian, born in 1960 in Rüssingen in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany, dedicated himself to photography after many years primarily spent in the advertising industry. His main interest is water and landscape photography, influenced stylistically by Monet and classical modernism. He is particularly interested in the transfer of the space onto the surface, whereby what is shown often loses its point of reference and becomes an interface between the tangible and abstract. A large-format photographic book presenting water in all its diversity and beauty With fascinating texts on the natural history of water on earth. Where does it come from? What role has it played in the emergence of life? An original gift for science buffs, nature lovers, and photography enthusiasts alike (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Předkládaný katalog Arménské knižní umění v průběhu staletí ? "Ti, kdo pili z toků Ducha" vychází při příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy, která se uskuteční v Národní knihovně České republiky od 11. do 25. října 2016. Kniha obsahuje fotografie a popisky (ve třech jazycích ? angličtině, arménštině a češtině) sedmdesáti pěti manuskriptů a tisků, které vybral a okomentoval Haig Utidjian. Důraz je kladen na rané tisky, mj. vynikající editiones principes arménské Bible, Hymnáře a jiných liturgických knih. Zvláštního prostoru se dostalo dílům sv. Řehoře z Nareku a arménské církevní hudbě. Autor se zaměřil na představení typických rysů této tvorby, jež spočívá v jednotném propojování nejlepších dobových trendů evropské knižní ilustrace s prvky arménské tradice rukopisných iluminací. Publikace rovněž obsahuje významné příspěvky na témata přítomná na výstavě ? věnuje se také arménsko-českým literárním vztahům či genocidě Arménů v Osmanské říši během 1. světové války. Katalog má povahu vědeckého pojednání, může však sloužit též jako příruční kniha pro všechny milovníky krásných tisků či jako půvabný a nádherně ilustrovaný úvod do arménské kultury a spirituality. The present volume, published in connection with the Exhibition held in Prague's Klementinum "The Art of the Armenian Book through the Ages: ‘They who imbibed the effusions of the Spirit'” in 2016, includes photographs and descriptions in English, Armenian and Czech of seventy-five publications and manuscripts selected and presented by Haig Utidjian. There is an emphasis on early and rare publications, such as the magnificent editiones principes of the Armenian Bible, Hymnal and other liturgical volumes. The works of St. Gregory Narek and Armenian sacred music are particularly well covered. The author aims to present a most distinctive tradition ? one which succeeded in achieving a seamless combination of the best of contemporaneous European book illustration with elements of Armenian manuscript illumination; this may, in turn, serve as a metaphor for wider interactions in music and in spirituality, where too the Armenian tradition was enriched without losing its unique character. The volume includes substantial essays on a variety of related subjects, placing the exhibits in context, and also discussing Czech-Armenian literary interactions. The volume may be recommended as a handbook for researchers as well as a coffee-table volume for book lovers from all backgrounds ? not least those seeking an attractive and beautifully illustrated introduction to Armenian culture and spirituality.

Kniha - autor Barbara Ann Brennan, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential. Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances. "Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It...

Fotografie z pozostalosti Karola Divalda sú dnes v majetku viacerých galérií a múzeí vo Francúzsku, Maďarsku, na Slovensku i v Poľsku. Fotografie publikované v tejto knihe boli vydané v roku 1887 a poskytla nám ich Slovenská národná galéria Bratislava. Originálne fotografie s rozmerom 15,6 x 11,8 cm boli nalepené na kartónoch o veľkosti 30,6 x 23,7 cm. Pod každým obrázkom je opis fotografie uvedený v dvoch jazykoch – maďarčine a nemčine a vyhradené právo na rozmnožovanie a meno fotografa. Fotografie boli umiestnené v ozdobnom kufríku z hrubých lepenkových dosiek potiahnutých červeným knihárskym plátnom, na ktorom je zlatým písmom plastickou razbou uvedený titul v maďarčine a nemčine: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Maďarský karpatský spolok). Kufrík obsahoval 30 fotografií. Mal rozmery: výška 26,0 cm, šírka 33,2 cm, hĺbka 4,5 cm Titulná stránka v dvoch jazykoch obsahuje názov albumu a meno autora fotografií. Tu sú tiež publikované početné ocenenia získané autorom fotografie na rôznych výstavách od roku 1869. Samozrejme, naše vydanie doznalo niekoľko zmien, daných nielen možnosťami súčasnej techniky, ale aj snahou umožniť širšej verejnosti mať v svojej knižnici doma nádherné Divaldovy fotografie. Vydanie v pôvodnej podobe v kufríkoch by bolo nákladné a v obmedzenom počte. Publikácia je teda v pevnej väzbe, pričom na obálke je obrázok pôvodného balenia fotografií. Originálna veľkosť fotografií je zachovaná a pridali sme aj popisky fotografií v slovenskom a anglickom jazyku. Zároveň uvádzame aj niekoľko životopisných dát o autorovi, Karolovi Divaldovi. ------------------------ Photographs from Karol Divald's estate are now owned by several galleries and museums in France, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. The photographs published in this book were published in 1887 and provided to us by the Slovak National Gallery in Bratislava. The original photographs measuring 15.6 x 11.8 cm were pasted on cartons measuring 30.6 x 23.7 cm. Below each image is a description of the photograph in two languages – Hungarian and German together with the reserved reproduction right and the name of the photographer. The photographs were placed in a decorative case made of thick cardboard plates covered with red book cloth, on which the title in Hungarian and German is engraved in gold lettering: A Magas Tátrából / Die Hohe Tatra, Ung. Karpathenverein (Hungarian Carpathian Association). The case contained 30 photographs. Its dimensions were: height 26.0 cm, width 33.2 cm, depth 4.5 cm The title page in two languages contains the title of the album and the name of the author of the photographs. Numerous awards won by the author of photography at various exhibitions since 1869 are also published here. Of course, our edition has undergone several changes, due not only to the possibilities of current technology, but also to the effort to allow the general public to have Divald's beautiful photographs in their library at home. An issue in its original form in cases would be expensive and limited in number. The publication is therefore in hardcover, while the cover contains a picture of the original package of photographs. The original size of the photos has been preserved and we have also added photo captions in Slovak and English. At the same time, we present here some biographical data about the author, Karol Divald. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

What are you afraid of - and how is it holding you back? Whatever your anxieties, Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway (R) can teach you how to handle what life throws at you, allowing you take control, move forwards and live the life you want. First published over 30 years ago, Susan Jeffers' phenomenal classic has helped change the lives of over two million readers around the world. Her timeless advice is as important and relevant today as when it was first published: we live in an era governed by fear - fear of failure, of missing out, of rejection, of the future, of change, of not fitting in, of intimacy, of being alone, of growing old ... the list seems endless. We are also easily paralysed by fear of the things we need to do from driving or public speaking to making tough decisions or asking for what we want or need. Whatever your challenge and whatever fears are holding you back, Susan Jeffers' profound advice, insight and tools will help you move from a place of paralysis, pain and indecision to one of energy, enthusiasm and action.

Kniha - autor Suzanne Simard, 256 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná From the world’s leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest–a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery. In her first book, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths – that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complex, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own.
