The Other Modern Movement
A revealing new look at modernist architecture, emphasizing its diversity, complexity, and broad inventiveness Usually associated with Mies and Le Corbusier, the Modern Movement was instrumental in advancing new technologies of construction in architecture, including the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. Renowned historian Kenneth Frampton offers a bold look at this crucial period, focusing on architects less commonly associated with the movement in order to reveal the breadth and complexity of architectural modernism. The Other Modern Movement profiles nineteen architects, each of whom consciously contributed to the evolution of a new architectural typology through a key work re...

A Nyugat ura
A tatárjárás során Harcias Frigyes osztrák herceg kirabolta és három megye átadására kényszerítette a menekülő IV. Béla királyt. A mongolok kivonulását követően Béla kétszer is vereséget mért Frigyes seregeire és visszaszerezte tőle a zsarolással megkaparintott megyéket is, azonban az egyre erősödő osztrák herceg továbbra is fenyegetést jelentett az országra. Miután Frigyes herceg egy korábbi megállapodását felrúgva az ifjú morva őrgróf, Vladislav cseh trónörökös helyett II. Frigyes német-római császárhoz akarta adni leányát, Gertrúdot, a Magyar Királyság különösen kedvezőtlen helyzetbe került. Béla király hű szerviensét, a be...

Summer of Caprice
Vladislav Vancura's Summer of Caprice is commonly considered untranslatable. The playful style of the narrative, the level of language mastering and also the development of the metatextual context of the last 80 years together form this unmistakable classic of Czech literature. Looking from this perspective our English edition is an experiment, thanks to the translation by Mark Corner on one side which inevitably - as every other translation - is an interpretation, and the original illustrations by Jiri Grus and the typography by Zdenek Ziegler on the other side. However, it is an experiment aiming to present an understanding of Czech spirit, humour and way of life.
The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943
Drawing from engrossing survivors' accounts, many never before published, The Minsk Ghetto 1941-1943 recounts a heroic yet little-known chapter in Holocaust history. In vivid and moving detail, Barbara Epstein chronicles the history of a Communist-led resistance movement inside the Minsk ghetto, which, through its links to its Belarussian counterpart outside the ghetto and with help from others, enabled thousands of ghetto Jews to flee to the surrounding forests where they joined partisan units fighting the Germans. Telling a story that stands in stark contrast to what transpired across much of Eastern Europe, where Jews found few reliable allies in the face of the Nazi threat, this book cap...
