Six Days of War Random House

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

§§ Though it lasted for only six tense days in June, the 1967 Arab-Israeli war never really ended. Every crisis that has ripped through this region in the ensuing decades, from the Yom Kippur War of 1973 to the ongoing intifada , is a direct consequence of those six days of fighting. Michael B. Oren's magnificent Six Days of War , an internationally acclaimed bestseller, is the first comprehensive account of this epoch-making event.§§Writing with a novelist's command of narrative and a historian's grasp of fact and motive, Oren reconstructs both the lightning-fast action on the battlefields and the political shocks that electrified the world. Extraordinary personalities-Moshe Dayan and Gamal Abdul Nasser, Lyndon Johnson and Alexei Kosygin-rose and toppled from power as a result of this war; borders were redrawn; daring strategies brilliantly succeeded or disastrously failed in a matter of hours. And the balance of power changed-in the Middle East and in the world. A towering work of history and an enthralling human narrative, Six Days of War is the most important book on the Middle East conflict to appear in a generation.

Days of Reading Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In these inspiring essays about why we read, Proust explores all the pleasures and trials that we take from books, as well as explaining the beauty of Ruskin and his work, and the joys of losing yourself in literature as a child. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Faviken: 4015 Days, Beginning to End Phaidon Press Ltd

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Witty, candid, and insightful: Magnus Nilsson's ode to his extraordinary restaurant, FavikenIn 2019, Magnus Nilsson closed Faviken, his one-of-a-kind restaurant in remote Sweden - a difficult decision, as it was close to his heart and at the height of its success.

Faviken: 4015 Days, Beginning to End is a vital commentary on food culture today and includes illuminating essays on subjects as wide ranging as creativity; balancing familial responsibilities while running a restaurant; the hypocrisy of sustainability in restaurants; the search for lagom; social media; imitation vs.plagiarism; haute cuisine; the art of hospitality; and the importance of craft over innovation. The book also includes a chronological list of every dish ever served at the restaurant and highlights 100 memorable recipes. The book's stunning photography includes a mixture of archival photographs and newly shot images of the food, the restaurant, the staff, and the surrounding setting of Northern Sweden.A textural cover made of blue cloth and red paper with a wood-grain effect references the shape and color of the Faviken building. Magnus Nilsson is the author of Faviken (2012), The Nordic Cookbook (2015), Nordic: A Photographic Essay of Landscapes (2016), and The Nordic Baking Book (2018), all published with Phaidon.

It's time to set the record straight. I write alone, in a darkened bedroom, wearing my PJs, eating bananas, my laptop on a pillow in front of me ...'

Veit Stoss Mary's Altar - Adam Bujak

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - The dimensions of Mary's Altar (height about 13 m, width almost 11 m) place it first and foremost among preserved Gothis retabules. With the moving wings, the iconographic programme of the altar may be changed, adjusted to the liturgy. On ordinary days, the so-called ferialną scene is displayed (with the cabinet closed), while during joyous ceremonies the wings are opened and worshippers can see the splendid scene. The scenes which constitute the altar convey, in general, the evangelical story chronicling the expiation of the world by Jesus Christ. The well-preserved, due to the dedication of the Cracow parish church, foreground displays Mary in Her capacity as mother of the Son of God and Her contribution to the act of Salvation.Stoss was a keen observer of reality and could uniquely portray people of different age and status as well as accurately depict their feelings. This is perfectly shown in the figures of the apostles, who were mostly mature or old, with bony or swollen, wrinkled faces which contrast with the subtle, delicate smooth face of the Virgin Mary. Observe their hands. Typically for Stoss' sculptures, they are moving, captured in gesticulation, often violent. Dramatic expression was achieved with gestures, but mostly by the complex, polygonal, wrapping, whirling, spoon and shell-like layout of the clothes. Veit Stoss, as if directing a truly mysterious performance, managed to stage the holy story in brilliant fashion. Whoever has seen Mary's Altar cannot have any doubts about it.
