Remembrance of things past: volume 3 - marcel proust

Proust's masterpiece is one of the seminal works of the twentieth century, recording its narrator's experiences as he grows up, falls in love and lives through the First World War. A profound reflection on art, time, memory, self and loss, it is often viewed as the definitive modern novel, and C. K.Scott Moncrieff's famous translation from the 1920s is now regarded as a classic in its own right. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Bezmála dvacet let uplynulo od napsání prvního dílu tohoto pozoruhodného životopisu o neméně pozoruhodném muži. Bylo tedy právě načase, aby i čeští čtenáři měli možnost nahlédnout do nejtemnějších zákoutí života a duše velkého spisovatele, jakým byl Marcel Proust. Biografie, kterou vám předkládáme, je bezesporu tou nejhodnotnější knihou, která kdy o Proustovi vyšla. Jen málo odborníků by se mohlo tohoto úkolu zhostit s větší pokorou a zároveň důrazem na fakticitu informací než Jean-Yves Tadié, jenž proustovskému bádání zasvětil mnoho let intenzivní práce. V tomto díle je vše, co se můžeme o Proustovi dozvědět, vše, co je nutné znát, abychom pochopili jeho osobnost a jeho dílo. Konečně máme možnost zjistit, kým autor Hledání ztraceného času skutečně byl a co vše následně utvářelo hodnotu literárního odkazu, co po sobě zanechal. Na devíti stech stranách prvního dílu publikace, jež obnažuje autorův život od jeho narození po první léta 20. století, se nám otevírá překvapující svět génia, který můžeme prožívat takřka po minutách ve Swanovském opojení. Biografie Marcela Prousta není jen biografií muže z vysoké společnosti, který se vyrovnával s vážnou nemocí, homosexualitou i nedostatkem uznání. Je to především biografie člověka, který svou velikost těžil z toho, co tvořil. Neboť právě tomu se zcela obětoval. (patro.cz)

Genius. Anti-artist. Charlatan. Impostor! Since 1914 Marcel Duchamp has been called all of these. No artist of the 20th century has aroused more passion and controversy, nor exerted a greater influence on art, the very nature of which Duchamp challenged and redefined as concept rather than product by questioning its traditionally privileged optical nature. At the same time, he never ceased to be engaged, openly or secretly, in provocative activities and works that transformed traditional artmaking procedures.Written with the enthusiastic support of Duchamp's widow, this is one of the most original and important books ever written on this enigmatic artist, and challenges received ideas, misunderstanding and misinformation.

Kniha - autor Jean-Yves Tadié, 224 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha Jeana-Yvese Tadiého je určitým inventářem myšlenek Marcela Prousta a Sigmunda Freuda. Autor nachází paralely v jejich názorech na spánek, sny, paměť, dětství, homosexualitu, lásku, žárlivost, smutek i smrt. Jean-Yves Tadié, přední odborník na dílo Marcela Prousta a pozorný čtenář Sigmunda Freuda, porovnává ve svém textu inteligence dvou výjimečných mužů a jejich postoje k okolnímu světu. Freud i Proust byli, každý svým vlastním způsobem, průzkumníky, kteří se snažili proniknout hlouběji do lidské psychiky. Jeden prostřednictvím nevědomí a psychoanalýzy, druhý v souvislostech s pamětí, z níž se vynořují obrazy koloběhu života, jež nám pomáhají pochopit sama sebe i situace, v nichž se ocitáme. Ačkoli současníci, Freud a Proust se nikdy nesetkali, nestudovali vzájemně svou práci, ale zdá se, že sledovali paralelní cesty ve výzkumu hloubek a jemností lidské mysli. Akademik,... (alza.cz)

Ideu zátiší ve fotografii dokumentuje Siegertova sbírka, shromažďovaná od počátku sedmdesátých let 20. století a dnes jedna z nejvýznamnějších na světě, půldruhou stovkou snímků vybraných do této publikace, jež obsáhly více než stopadesátileté období. Kromě proslulých fotografií kniha obsahuje i řadu snímků dosud málo známých - vedle klasických námětů květin, potravin a uměleckoprůmyslových předmětů představuje početné "nálezy", mezi nimiž nechybějí ani surreální a abstraktní kompozice. The Siegert Collection was begun in the early 1970s and is today one of the most important in the world. The book's editors selected 150 photographs spanning a period of more than a century and a half in order to document the idea of still life in photography throughout history. In addition to famous photographs, the book also contains numerous lesser-known images - not just classical motifs of flowers, food, and design objects, but also several true "discoveries," including surreal and abstract compositions.

Ulrich Wust (*1949) trained as an urban planner and began photographing East German cities in the late 1970s. Today, his early work is widely recognized as a subtly formulated critique of social conditions in the GDR and one of the most important photographic records of the socialist state. Since the 1990s, he has expanded his practice to focus on the memory landscape of reunified Germany and the transformations of both city and countryside, particularly the villages and farming culture of Uckermark and other rural regions. In this first monograph on Wust, Van Zante provides a context for his work in American and German urban photography and photography of place. Over 500 photographs are published here, many for the first time, including a selection of Wust's distinctive leporellos of titled series. An interview with the photographer is included.Gary Van Zante is curator of the photography, design and architecture collections at the MIT Museum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Kniha Proust a znaky dobře ilustruje Deleuzovu definici filosofie jako tvoření pojmů. Deleuze v ní vytváří pojmy filosofické a současně proustovské. Pracuje s nimi v systému, který je blízký Proustovu Hledání, objevně popisuje proustovské universum a odkrývá vnitřní linie Proustova díla, v nichž se dílo samo přesahuje a rozvíjí k jiným dílům a jiným autorům. V této dnes již klasické poststrukturalistické knize vytváří Deleuze společný prostor pro čtenáře i autora, který je vždy "někým jiným". Snaží se "vyhnout nízkosti vědce i familiárnosti. Vrátit autorovi trochu té radosti, té síly, toho milostného a politického života, který on uměl dávat a objevovat." (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Two years before the events of Stranger Things Season 4, Eddie Munson-Hellfire Club leader, metalhead, and Hawkins outcast-has one shot to make it big. Hawkins, Indiana-for most, it's simply another idyllic, manicured all-American town. But for Eddie Munson it's like living in a perpetual Tomb of Horrors.Luckily, he only has a few more months to survive at Hawkins High. And what is senior year, really, but just killing time between Dungeons & Dragons sessions with the Hellfire Club and gigs with his band?It's at the worst dive bar in town that Eddie meets Paige, someone who has pulled off a freaking miracle. She escaped Hawkins and built a wickedly cool life for herself working for a record producer out in Los Angeles.Not only is she the definition of a badass-with a killer taste in music-she might be the only person that actually appreciates him as the bard he is instead of the devil incarnate. But the best thing? She's offering a chance for him to make something of himself, and all he needs is to get her a demo tape of Corroded Coffin's best songs. Just one problem: Recording costs money.Money Eddie doesn't have. But he's willing to do whatever it takes: even if that means relying on his old man, Al Munson. His dad just stumbled back into his life, with another dubious scheme up his sleeve, and yet Eddie knows this is his only option to make enough dough in enough time.It's a risk, but if it pays off he will finally have a one-way ticket out of Hawkins. Eddie can feel it: 1984 is going to be his year. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Fangirl meets Jane Austen in this deeply heartfelt love story about hiding the worst parts of ourselves, and the people who love us anyway. "How could I open that door and let him see the messiest part of me?" From the moment she first learned to read, literary genius Darcy Wells has spent most of her time living in the worlds of her books. There, she can avoid the crushing reality of her mother's hoarding and pretend her life is simply ordinary. But then Asher Fleet, a former teen pilot with an unexpectedly shattered future, walks into the bookstore where she works...and straight into her heart. For the first time in her life, Darcy can't seem to find the right words. Fairy tales are one thing, but real love makes her want to hide behind her carefully constructed ink-and-paper wall. Still, after spending her whole life keeping people out, something about Asher makes Darcy want to open up. But securing her own happily-ever-after will mean she'll need to stop hiding and start living her own truth--even if it's messy. "A lovely tale for bookish readers that will give them all the feels." --Kirkus (knihydobrovsky.cz)
