Kniha ruského bohemisty Olega Maleviče (1928–2013) V perspektivě desetiletí shrnuje třicet studií napsaných od šedesátých let minulého století po závěr autorova života. Jde o výběr autorský, rozdělený na část teoretickou a historickou. Ve svých studiích se Malevič věnuje především české literatuře dvacátého století (Hašek, Čapek, Vančura, Poláček, Jesenská, Hrabal, Vaculík ad.), ovšem s četnými přesahy: k jiným médiím (bratři Čapkové a film), k literatuře ruské (Březina a ruský symbolismus) anebo starší české (bratři Čapkové a J. A. Komenský). Malevič byl rovněž pilným překladatelem (ostatně translatologické otázky řeší hned v úvodním textu knihy), psal básně, v češtině vydal knižně tituly Bratři Čapkové (1999) a Osobitost české literatury (2009). Je laureátem mnoha cen, mj. Premia Bohemica (1998) a Gratias Agit (2011). Publikaci V perspektivě desetiletí připravili k vydání Radim Kopáč a Aleš Haman, který knihu rovněž uvádí předmluvou.
Conventional readings of the history of Soviet art and architecture show modernist utopian aspirations as all but prohibited by 1932 under Stalin's totalitarianism. Soviet Architectural Avant-Gardes challenges that view. Radically redefining the historiography of the period, it reveals how the relationship between the Party and practicing architects was much more complex and contradictory than previously believed, and shows, in contrast to the conventional scholarly narrative, how the architectural avant-garde was able to persist at a time when it is widely considered to have been driven underground. In doing so, this book provides an essential perspective on how to analyse, evaluate, and ...

St. Sabas (439-532 CE), was one of the principal leaders of Palestinian monasticism, that had flourished in the sixth century in the desert of Jerusalem. As an abbot he was the first in Palestine to formulate a monastic rule in writing, and his activity as an ecclesiastical leader bore upon the life of the entire Christian community in the Holy land. He and his monks were active in the theological disputes that affected the fate of the Christian Church of Palestine, and shaped it as a stronghold of Orthodoxy. But his activity has transcended his place and time. His largest monastery - the Great Laura (Mar saba), functioned from the sixth to the ninth century as the intellectual centre of the...
Eric Arthur fell in love with Toronto the first time he saw it. The year was 1923; he was twenty-five years old, newly arrived to teach architecture at the University of Toronto. For the next sixty years he dedicated himself to saving the great buildings of Toronto's past. Toronto, No Mean City sounded a clarion call in his crusade. First published in 1964, it sparked the preservation movement of the 1960s and 1970s and became its bible. This reprint of the third edition, prepared by Stephen Otto, updates Arthur's classic to include information and illustrations uncovered since the appearance of the first edition. Four new essays were commissioned for this reprint. Christopher Hume, architec...
