Delphi Complete Works of Parthenius (Illustrated)
The tutor of the epic poet Virgil, Parthenius of Nicaea was a Greek grammarian and poet that flourished in the first century AD. Regarded as the last of the Alexandrians, Parthenius was a writer of elegies and short epic poems. His sole surviving work, ‘Love Romances’, is a collection of thirty-six epitomes of mythological love stories, all of which have tragic or sentimental endings. The tales are valuable in providing information on Alexandrian poets and grammarians whose works are now lost. The ‘Love Romances’ would play an important part in the development of the love story – especially the tragic love story – in the course of Western literature. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Parthenius’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

Lacná kniha Slovakia Illustrated Encyclopedia of monuments (-70%)
The ambition of the illustrated encyclopaedia is to introduce a cultivated reader to the most extensive fund of architectural monuments and creative art relics in Slovakia. It is not an expert or art-historical publication describing or arranging the, often contradictory expert opinions. In the past decades, many of them have been collected in publications of this type. In contrast to scientific work, you will not encounter them there. On the contrary, we present painting, murals, altars, churches, castles, manor houses and historic town centres that only use their birth certificates, characteristics and forms to recount their history. The idea of this encyclopaedia`s was the reader to look closer, to establish relationships, to answer the questions of "why is it like that" when regarding the illustrations and photographs - or best, when visiting the sites directly. This publication aims to provide the largest possible scope of basic information - on where to find the beauty, on its orderers, creators, similar sites, the period and environment, in which it was created. Of course, many monuments do not have a known builder, painter, sculptor or craftsman. For most centuries, there were men - humble creators who did not feel the need for own presentation.
Even though no names are mentioned "at least" the work introduces them. You will also find the names of those who had the structures or pieces of art created and an explanation of the period in which the work was created. Current creators - artists usually assume a negative attitude to being questioned on the meaning of their work. Structures, sculptures and paintings of the past centuries hide messages that the period society understood. And often are very complicated. They include an enormous wealth of stories, fates, symbolism of the Old and New Testament, various legends, period reflections of science and literature. Some have their roots in the pre-Christian cultures. It is even possible to read the fortunes of people, orderers and viewers of these works. The period community looked much deeper at the shapes of architecture and the meaning of its details. In this publication, we are trying to point out at least a fraction of them.
Scenario and concept, draft, concept and coordination of 3D drawings, production of onsite photographic shooting, author of texts and annotations Peter Kresanek. Author of page on Slovak National Gallery and consultant Dusan Buran.
Book details:
1 109 entries
more than 5500 photographs with detailed descriptions

Delphi Complete Works of Aratus – Phaenomena (Appearances) (Illustrated)
Aratus of Soli was a third century BC didactic poet at the court of Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia, where he wrote his famous astronomical poem ‘Phaenomena’ (Appearances). It describes the constellations and other celestial phenomena, while the latter section is chiefly concerned with weather lore. Aratus’ poem was extremely popular both in the Greek and Roman world, as demonstrated by the large number of commentaries and Latin translations. He enjoyed immense prestige among Hellenistic poets, including Theocritus, Callimachus and Leonidas of Tarentum. This assessment was passed on to the Latin writers, notably influencing Ovid, Virgil and Cicero.

Delphi Complete Works of Nicolas Poussin (Illustrated)
The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible, ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason, order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would become the standard for a long tradition of academic art, continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters, the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Poussin’s complete paintings in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Endre Nemes, Obrazové básne / Visual Poems
Po výstavách a publikáciách Stana Filka a Milana Paštéku pripravila Galéria Nedbalka prezentáciu ďalšej mimoriadnej osobnosti slovenského výtvarného umenia – Endre Nemesa (1909 – 1985). Bol jedným z prvých, ktorý otočil zrak od vonkajšej reality k vnútornému, často sebatrýznivému skúmaniu. V jeho obrazoch sa postupne ozývajú odkazy na expresionizmus, kubizmus a surrealizmus, vo svojej neskoršej tvorbe sa vyjadruje prostredníctvom nefiguratívnej tvorby, v záverečnej etape sa koncentruje na koláže, kde sa opätovne objavujú aj figuratívne prvky. O jeho tvorbe sa po roku 1948 v bývalom Československu dlhé roky mlčalo, po krátkom záujme v 60. rokoch začala byť jeho tvorba opätovne prehodnocovaná až po roku 1989. Začiatky Endre Nemesa po nútenej emigrácií pred fašizmom v roku 1938 do Švédska (po krátkych pobytoch vo Fínsku a Nórsku) boli zložité a náročné, postupne sa však so svojou tvorbou aj v umelecky pomerne konzervatívnom Švédsku výrazne presadil. Galérii Nedbalka sa podarilo vybudovať najväčšiu kolekciu autorových diel na Slovensku s viacerými ťažiskovými obrazmi dokumentujúcimi jeho jednotlivé tvorivé obdobia.
Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
Wounded poems
"Watch me be born, watch me bloom and then die, watch me resurrect." - Elliotte P. Joel on Wounded Poems "Her poetic expression is barbaric, yet so dignified." - T. S. The debut poetry collection of Slovak-American author Elliotte P. Joel offers a time-lapsing observation of young poet's works captured from the age of 15 to 19. This literary work established a unique and novel genre of contemporary poetry - nonsensical impressionism. The prevalent subject of rejection and loss, as well as dissociation from society and the conventional way of living, can be found contrasting alongside subjects of profound love and the wandersome freedom of mind. With a vivid flow of words accompanied by almost otherworldly imagery, Joel equips her poetry with both emotional and intellectual stimulation. Despite a few obstacles that could have been a disadvantage, such as Joel having English as a second language or her being barely 20 during the time of publishing, Wounded Poems gained major success in the USA, Great Britain, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic.
