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)

The first thing I remember being said of me with any consistency was that I was intelligent - and I recognized even then that it was a comment leveled at me with as much disapproval as admiration. Still, I never tried to hide or suppress my mind as some girls do, and thank god, because that would have been the beginning of the end. From childhood, Katherine knows she is different, and that her parents are not who they seem to be. But in becoming a mathematician, she faces the most human of problems - who is she? What is the cost of love, and what is the cost of ambition? On her quest to conquer the Riemann Hypothesis, the greatest unsolved mathematical problem of her time, she turns to a theorem with a mysterious history that holds both the lock and key to her identity, and to secrets long buried during World War II. Forced to confront some of the biggest events of the twentieth century and rethink everything she knows of herself, Katherine strives to take her place in the world of higher mathematics, reclaiming the voices of the women who came before her whose love of the language of numbers connects them across generations. The Tenth Muse is a brilliant, involving novel asking questions about who gets to tell the story of intellectual endeavour, and those who lost everything during World War II. Praise for The Tenth Muse 'Arresting in scope and its treatment of time, its prose at turns crystalline and richly balletic, this story pulls puzzle from puzzle - human, historical and all too contemporary' Helen Oyeyemi (knihydobrovsky.cz)

'The superb, funny, fascinating story of Lenin's trans-European rail journey and how it shook the world' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard, Books of the Year'Splendid ... a jewel among histories, taking a single episode from the penultimate year of the Great War, illuminating a continent, a revolution and a series of psychologies in a moment of cataclysm and doing it with wit, judgment and an eye for telling detail' David Aaronovitch, The TimesBy 1917 the European war seemed to be endless. Both sides in the fighting looked to new weapons, tactics and ideas to break a stalemate that was itself destroying Europe. In the German government a small group of men had a brilliant idea: why not sow further confusion in an increasingly chaotic Russia by arranging for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the most notorious of revolutionary extremists, currently safely bottled up in neutral Switzerland, to go home?Catherine Merridale's Lenin on the Train recreates Lenin's extraordinary journey from harmless exile in Zurich, across a Germany falling to pieces from the war's deprivations, and northwards to the edge of Lapland to his eventual ecstatic reception by the revolutionary crowds at Petrograd's Finland Station.With great skill and insight Merridale weaves the story of the train and its uniquely strange group of passengers with a gripping account of the now half-forgotten liberal Russian revolution and shows how these events intersected. She brilliantly uses a huge range of contemporary eyewitnesses, observing Lenin as he travelled back to a country he had not seen for many years. Many thought he was a mere 'useful idiot', others thought he would rapidly be imprisoned or killed, others that Lenin had in practice few followers and even less influence. They would all prove to be quite wrong. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROne of Publishers Weekly’s “Most Anticipated Books of the Fall”As you read these words, copies of you are being created. Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything.Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: physics has been in crisis since 1927. Quantum mechanics has always had obvious gaps—which have come to be simply ignored. Science popularizers keep telling us how weird it is, how impossible it is to understand. Academics discourage students from working on the "dead end" of quantum foundations. Putting his professional reputation on the line with this audacious yet entirely reasonable book, Carroll says that the crisis can now come to an end. We just have to accept that there is more than one of us in the universe. There are many, many Sean Carrolls. Many of every one of us. Copies of you are generated thousands of times per second. The Many Worlds Theory of quantum behavior says that every time there is a quantum event, a world splits off with everything in it the same, except in that other world the quantum event didn't happen. Step-by-step in Carroll's uniquely lucid way, he tackles the major objections to this otherworldly revelation until his case is inescapably established. Rarely does a book so fully reorganize how we think about our place in the universe. We are on the threshold of a new understanding—of where we are in the cosmos, and what we are made of.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER An addictive new novel of psychological suspense from the author of #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon The Girl on the Train “Hawkins is at the forefront of a group of female authors—think Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott—who have reinvigorated the literary suspense novel by tapping a rich vein of psychological menace and social unease… there’s a certain solace to a dark escape, in the promise of submerged truths coming to light.” —Vogue A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from—a place to which she vowed she'd never return. With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present. Beware a calm surface—you never know what lies beneath. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The great Dutch author and traveller Cees Nooteboom (author of Roads to Santiago and The Following Story) sheds new light on the city, its history and its treasures VENICE: "A dream of palaces and churches, of power and money, dominion and decline, a paradise of beauty." By the author of Roads to Santiago and Roads to BerlinWith this treasury of his time spent in Venice over a period of fifty-five years, Nooteboom makes himself the indispensable companion for all lovers of "the sailing, amphibious city", and for every new visitor.Because he is a master storyteller with an inexhaustible curiosity, and always with a suitcase of books (to which new discoveries are added), he brings vividly and poetically to life not only the tumultuous history of the Republic but along the way its doges, its villains, its heroes, its magnificent painters, its architects, its scholars, its skies, its canals and piazzas and alleyways, and on his expeditions its "bronze voices of time".Those who know and love this city and its literature will recognise Nooteboom - in Laura Watkinson's fine translation - as the dazzling heir and companion to Montaigne, Thomas Mann, Rilke, Ruskin, Proust, Brodsky, and Donna Leon. His homage to Venice is a generous introduction, learned and enchanting, and worthy of its magnificent subject."His writing is lyrical and densely textured. He is a poet of time and memory" - COLIN THUBRONTranslated from the Dutch by Laura Watkinson (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The most comprehensive monograph to date on the British artist and writer best known for his paintings based on the dust jackets of early Penguin paperbacks This monograph covers nearly 20 years of his paintings, and features three newly commissioned essays by eminent art writers Michael Bracewell, Martin Herbert and Catherine Ince that explore different aspects of his practice. It includes an illustrated chronology with photographs and ephemera from the artist's personal archive. Published in two color versions, specially designed by Miller, the book’s edges are printed with a dripping paint motif to replicate his dynamic painting process. (Please note that the color version cannot be pre-selected and will be delivered at random). —— "Harland Miller is known as the creator of figurative paintings and works on paper, many of which depict the iconic designs of Penguin paperback books and bear the artist’s name as author, with the fictitious title of each being wittily deadpan, punkish and aphoristic." —Michael Bracewell Michael Bracewell considers Miller’s work within the broader art historical context of painting, from abstract expressionism onwards: particularly thinking about his artistic influences and the work Miller saw during his time living in New York in the 1990s. —— "Particularly upfront in their humour are those of his paintings which suggest the unwritten or perhaps just obscure books of modern literary greats and that merrily caricature their styles." —Martin Herbert Martin Herbert explores the way Miller’s use of abbreviated language prefigures that of social media by several decades. —— "Penguin's covers varied greatly within the structured composition system at work within their design identity, and Miller’s rigorous enquiry charts the subtle and episodic evolution of the Penguin book in design terms." —Catherine Ince Catherine Ince delves into design history and analyzes Miller’s work in the context of the current trend for mid-century modern design, Miller pre-empted with his book cover paintings. —— "It seems I'm often holding two opposing ideas in my head at the same time, either that or I’m constantly oscillating between the two – and I think you can read this sort of interplay in my work... So I wanted some shape or form within the paintings’ composition to represent this." — Harland Miller on his most recent work, Cuboids. —— Yorkshire-born Harland Miller has exhibited at ICA, White Cube, and Royal Academy in London; BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead; and Kunsthalle, Mannheim, and Blain Southern, Berlin. Michael Bracewell is a British novelist, critic, curator, and cultural commentator. Martin Herbert is a Berlin-based writer and critic. Catherine Ince is senior curator for V&A East, and was previously curator at the Barbican, London. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A brand-new translation of a philosophical classic of the ancient world, The Teaching of Ptahhatp, written in Egypt 4,000 years ago. The Teaching of Ptahhatp, composed two millennia before the birth of Plato, is the oldest surviving statement of philosophy in the ancient world and the earliest witness to the power of the written word. It ought to begin the list of the world's philosophy classics, yet it has been largely forgotten since it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century.Egyptologist Bill Manley's new translation corrects this oversight, rendering into approachable modern English for the first time Ptahhatp's profound yet practical account of 'the meaning of life', written many centuries before the supposed dawn of western philosophy. Manley introduces Ptahhatp, who served as Vizier to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (c. 2410-2375 BC), and the world of dynamic ideas and new technologies - writing among them - within which he worked, illuminating the nuances of his language and philosophy.In addition, Manley's new translation of Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world, reveals how Ptahhatp's account of the human condition is founded in distinctive ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of truth and reality. Taken together, Manley's new translations and expert commentary provide a new perspective on the Pyramid Age and overturn traditional prejudices about the origins of writing and philosophy. The 'oldest book in the world' is a testament to a common thread that connects humanity across time; Ptahhatp grapples with the pitfalls of greed, ambition, celebrity, success, confrontation, friendship, sex and even the office environment, and his teachings remain remarkably relevant in the modern day.

Jednorožci nepatří do pohádek, patří do zlých snů. Tyto smrtelně nebezpečné stvůry může zkrotit jen jezdec, který jim pomáhal se vylíhnout. Skandar Smith chtěl odmalinka jezdit na jednorožci a teď konečně nastala chvíle podstoupit zkoušku z líhnutí, která rozhodne o tom, jestli mu bude souzeno podílet se na vyklubání jednorožce. Ke zkoušce však není připuštěn, a když navíc tajemná, děsivá postava přezdívaná Jehla ukradne nejmocnějšího jednorožce na světě, ukáže se, že jezdit na jednorožci je mnohem nebezpečnější, než si Skandar kdy uměl představit.Tváří v tvář magii živlů, urputným bitvám na obloze, prastarým tajemstvím, napínavým závodům a samozřejmě i krvežíznivým jednorožcům začíná Skandarovi docházet, že se se svými přáteli ocitl ve velkém nebezpečí. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Velkolepé dobrodružství na křídlech jednorožců pokračuje. Skandaru Smithovi se splnil jeho dětský sen - stal se jezdcem. První ročník výcviku byl pro něj i jeho jednorožce Kvítka náročný. Jenže když Skandar a jeho přátelé postoupí do druhého ročníku, v Hnízdě nečekaně vyvstane nová hrozba. Divoké jednorožce, kteří mají být údajně nesmrtelní, někdo surově zabíjí. A to není jediná podivnost, která Skandara trápí. Objeví se prastaré proroctví, které varuje před nebezpečím, a ostrov začnou pustošit strašlivé bouře. Má to snad všechno nějakou spojitost? Ale jakou? Mezitím se na ostrov snaží dostat Skandarova sestra Kenna, aby mohla podstoupit výcvik společně se svým bratrem, a Skandar je odhodlaný jí za každou cenu pomoci. Dokážou společně ostrov zachránit, než bude pro všechny příliš pozdě? První díl série Skandar a zloděj jednorožců se dočkal vydání ve více než čtyřiceti zemích světa. Druhý díl vychází česky exkluzivně ve stejný den jako originál. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Ve třetím díle napínavé série čeká Skandara zatím nejobtížnější zkouška. Pokud chtějí Skandar a jeho kamarádi přežít třetí ročník výcviku, musejí uspět v několika hrůzostrašných soutěžích, pořádaných v jednotlivých živelních oblastech ostrova. Přátelství, spojenectví i pouta mezi jezdci a jednorožci se budou napínat k prasknutí — a obstojí jen ta nejpevnější. Skandarova sestra Kenna mezitím konečně dorazila do Hnízda, ale kvůli svému podvrženému poutu a divoké jednorožce se cítí osamělá a odstrkovaná. A když se po strašlivém objevu ocitne budoucnost ostrova v ohrožení, všichni si začnou ukazovat na jednoho člověka… Zatímco podezření sílí a temné mocnosti se chystají vytáhnout do boje, Skandar se musí rozhodnout, komu zůstane věrný. Jak daleko je ochotný zajít — pro Kennu a pro Hnízdo? (knihydobrovsky.cz)
