Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

From the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes comes a fantasy filled with courtly intrigue, deceitful demons, and breathtaking gowns ... the stakes are higher than ever in this thrilling sequel to Spin the Dawn!Maia Tamarin's journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon, and the stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of war. Edan, the boy she loves, is gone--perhaps forever--and no sooner does she set foot in the Autumn Palace than she is forced to don the dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor's bride-to-be to keep the peace. When the emperor's rivals learn of her deception, there is hell to pay, but the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to the battle within. Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing . . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red; losing control of her magic, her body, her mind. It's only a matter of time before Maia loses herself completely, and in the meantime she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country.

Rimsky-Korsakov: The Snow Maiden brilliant classics

Nagrania>Nagrania muzyczne

"For me there could have been no better subject, no better poetic model, than Snegurochka, the shepherd Lel and Lovely Spring: for me there could be nothing more beautiful than the realm of the strange Tsar Berendey, and no lovelier religion than that of sun worship. Motifs, themes, chord sequences occurred to me even while reading, and soon, at first vaguely and then more clearly, the moods and colours of the individual elements of the action came to mind. I sat down in front of a pile of music paper and began to write everything down in the form of sketches." Rimsky-KorsakovRimsky-Korsakov's opera from 1880--1, The Snow Maiden (or Snegurochka), was the composer's favourite work, detailing the story of the conflicted young maiden who has inherited from her mother a longing for love, and, from her father, an incapacity for it. The opera demonstrates use of leit-motif, capturing the magic of King Frost and the Spring Fairy and the folk-infused style of the people of Tsar Benderey's realm.Other information:- The success of the Rimsky-Korsakov Edition on Brilliant Classics (BC 94369, 25-CD set) was largely due to the inclusion of several of Rimsky-Korsakov's operas, neglected master works in grand romantic style.- As in many of his other operas Rimsky based Snow Maiden on a Russian legend, this time that of Snegourotchka, in which the forces of nature are characterized as persons, interacting with real people and mythological beings, each having their own 'Leitmotiv'.- Beautiful, powerful and idiomatic performance from Sofia, Bulgaria, a gem from the former Balkanton catalogue.- Booklet contains notes on the work and a synopsis...

The Art of Sacrifice in Chess: Revised and Expanded by GM Karsten Müller

Szachy > Inne wydawnictwa

The 21st Century Edition of Spielmann#8217;s Classic Work Austrian Grandmaster Rudolf Spielmann#8217;s The Art of Sacrifice in Chess first appeared in the mid-1930s. It was immediately recognized as a classic, a masterpiece that examined the nature of chess sacrifices. In this modernized, 21st century edition, all of Spielmann#8217;s original work has been preserved. The antiquated English Descriptive Notation has been replaced with modern Figurine Algebraic, and German grandmaster Karsten Müller has added his own notes to Spielmann#8217;s original text. But the German grandmaster has gone far beyond simply inserting clarifying commentary. Müller has virtually doubled the size of the original work by adding eleven new chapters, including: -- The Greek Gift Sacrifice Bxh2/7+ -- Disaster on g7; The Achilles#8217; Heel f7 -- Strike at the Edge -- Destroying the King#8217;s Shelter -- Sacrifices on f6 -- Sacrifices on e6 -- The Magic of Mikhail Tal -- Shirov#8217;s Sacrifices -- The Fine Art of Defense. There are exercises at the end of each new chapter to help you hone your skill of sacrificing. Garry Kasparov: "Grandmaster Karsten Müller#8217;s notes to the original text, along with the new material, brilliantly complement Spielmann#8217;s classic work. A welcome addition to any chessplayer#8217;s library." Matthew Sadler, former British Champion: "I love it. Spielmann's approach is sober and realistic (..) Many of his insights have stuck in my mind (..) Everyone should be rushing out to go and buy (this book)."

Red Pill Simon & Schuster

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

'The book I wish I'd written? Whatever Hari Kunzru is publishing next' Aravind Adiga 'I knew there was something profoundly but subtly wrong, some urgent question I had to answer, that concerned me in isolation and couldn't be solved by waking Rei or going on the internet or padding barefoot into the bathroom and swallowing a sleeping pill. It concerned the foundation for things, beliefs I had spent much of my life writing and thinking about, the various claims I made for myself in the world.' When a Brooklyn writer leaves behind his young family to take up the offer of a three month residency at the Deuter Centre on the shore of Berlin's Lake Wannsee, he arrives with romantic dreams of days devoted to total artistic absorption. However, The Deuter Centre turns out to be anything but the idyllic writerly retreat he imagines and, rather than study at the clinical and closely monitored desk assigned to him, he opts to spend much of the time holed up in his bedroom watching Blue Lives, an ultraviolent cop show with a bleak and merciless view of the world. One night, while at a glamourous party in the city, he meets Anton, the charismatic creator of Blue Lives, and they strike up a passionate and alcohol-fueled conversation about the pessimism at the show's core. It is a conversation that marks the beginning of the writer's obsession with Anton and leads him on a journey into the heart of moral darkness that threatens to destroy everything he holds most dear, including his own mind. Red Pill is a novel about the alt-right, online culture, creativity, sanity and history. It is the story of the 21st century, told through the prism of the centuries that preceded it, and it shows how the darkest chapters of our past have returned to haunt our present. More than anything, though, Red Pill is a story about love and how it can endure in a world where everything else seems to have lost all meaning.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Follow the quest of our common past! Make your own way to these sublime ruins in Romania! Although the past of these sites strives to reveal itself, our perceptions of it are constantly shifted by secrets, lies and insensate desires. I put my mind and soul at these Romanian sites disposal helping them to fulfill their destiny and I was already fully rewarded. I reclaimed the truth they taught me, and now I feel liberated. It's time to rock the boat! Anyone who observantly "listens" to these ancient ruins will know their truth. The ruins worldwide seduced people in previous centuries and nowadays they are the "prima donnas" of the cultural heritage tourism. A growing awareness of historical documentation and scientific excavations of sites increased the popularity of the ancient ruins and allured the attention of the travelers. The ruins from Histria, Constanta and Adamclisi are miraculous not only for history lovers and passionates, but for every single soul on earth. They appeal not only to our apprehension and imagination, but more than anything to our feelings.

Paradox Transworld Publ. Ltd UK

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book is about my own personal favourite puzzles and conundrums in science, all of which have famously been referred to as paradoxes, but which turn out not to be paradoxes at all when considered carefully and viewed from the right angle. A true paradox is a statement that leads to a circular and self-contradictory argument, or one that describes a logically impossible situation. Our subject is 'perceived paradoxes' - questions or thought-experiments that on first encounter seem impossible to answer, but which science has been able to solve. Our tour of these mind-expanding puzzles will take us through some of the greatest hits of science - from Einstein's theories about space and time, to the latest ideas of how the quantum world works. Some of our paradoxes may be familiar, such as Schrodinger's famous cat, which is seemingly alive and dead at the same time; or the Grandfather Paradox - if you travelled back in time and killed your grandfather you would not have been born and would not therefore have killed your grandfather. Other paradoxes will be new to you, but no less bizarre and fascinating.We will ask such questions as: how does the fact that it gets dark at night prove the Universe must have started with a big bang? Where are all the aliens? And why does the length of a piece of string vary depending on how fast it is moving? In resolving our paradoxes we will have to travel to the furthest reaches of the Universe and explore the very essence of space and time. Hold on tight.

Forbidden Science 1 Anomalist Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

IF SCIENCE REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS TOPIC, THEN WHAT IS SCIENCE FOR?Beginning after the launch of Sputnik and ending with the landing on the moon, the first volume of Jacques Vallee's journals details how UFOs, in the midst of a proliferation of sightings in the 1960s, became a forbidden science. In this beautifully written journal, Vallee reveals just how the scientific community was misled by the government, how the best data on UFOs was kept hidden, and how the public record was shamelessly manipulated."This dazzling diary offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who seems to challenge every misconception and established piety. It is replete with profoundly insightful, often devastating observations." - Publishers Weekly"The qualities that come through most clearly are Vallee's love of people, his intense curiosity, and his willingness to march to his own drum
