4. 4. Notes From Underground, Fiodor Dostojewski

   Notes from Underground and Other Stories is a comprehensive collection of Dostoevsky`s short fiction. Many of these stories, like his great novels, reveal his special sympathy for the solitary and dispossessed, explore the same complex psychological issues and subtly combine rich characterization and philosophical meditations on the (often) dark areas of the human psyche, all conveyed in an idiosyncratic blend of deadly seriousness and wild humour. In Notes from Underground, the Undergroun...

7. 7. Malevich, Gilles Néret

   After flirtations with Realism, Impressionism, AND Symbolism, Kiev-born Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) found his métier in dissolving literal, representational figures AND landscapes into pure emotionally-charged abstraction. In 1915, he created what is widely lauded as the first AND ultimate abstract artwork: Black Square, a black rectangle ON a white background, hailed as the "zero point of painting," a seminal moment for modern AND abstract practice. In this book, we follow Male...

10. 10. Helmut Newton. Polaroids wer. angielska, Newton Helmut

12. 12. Sex Pistols. Poison in the Machine, John Scanlan

    The appearance of the Sex Pistols in 1976 seemed less like the arrival of a band than a warning from a nightmarish future.

John Scanlan traces how this volatile experiment collided with the Pistols' own musical force and John Lydon's uncompromising origi...

15. 15. Marvel Comics Library : X-Men. 1963–1966, Fabian Nicieza

    When Marvel publisher Martin Goodman asked Stan Lee to deliver another new team book for his line of comics, he had no idea he`d be getting something like The X-Men.
