Ukraina on Eestist vaid päevase autosõidu kaugusel ja paljud meist on seal käinud. Seetõttu on kerge tekkima pettekujutelm millestki ootuspärasest, ette teadaolevast. Tegemist on aga väga suure ja eripalgelise maaga, kus elab enam kui 40-miljoniline, pika ning värvika aja- ja kultuurilooga rahvas.

A selection of the greatest poems from one ofpoetry’s most beloved mystics The American poet Robert Lax belongs to the generation of Thomas Merton, Beat poetry, Abstract Expressionism, and the compositions of John Cage. Yet he stands out as this era’s most intriguing minimalist poet, gaining this reputation through a constant questioning of the universe and our idea about it. His poetry varies from fables and parables to clear-cut columns of words, from his account of a day at the circus as a vision of creation to his own insistent and mystical search for truth. 33 Poems presents the quintessential gathering of Lax’s work, including Sea & Sky and The Circus of the Sun, “perhaps the greatest English-language poem of this century” (The New York Times). <br><br> Autorid: Robert Lax, Thomas Kellein <br>

33 Revolutions Per Minute tracks the turbulent relationship between popular music and politics, through 33 pivotal songs that span seven decades and four continents, from Billie Holiday singing 'Strange Fruit' to Green Day raging against the Iraq war.

Through the work of such artists as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti, The Clash, Public Enemy and Gil Scott Heron, Lynskey examines how music has engaged with racial unrest, nuclear paranoia, apartheid, war, poverty and oppression, offering hope, stirring anger, inciting action and producing songs which continue to resonate years down the line. <br><br> Autorid: Dorian Lynskey <br>

A facsimile of a sketchbook by the Dutch artist and illustrator Peter Vos along with a volume of introductory essays. From time immemorial, people have been fascinated by birds and have created images of their winged companions. The artist Peter Vos (1935–2010) was one of them. He kept bird diaries in which he noted down the birds he came across and captured them in pen and ink and watercolor. He took pleasure in entrusting all elements of a bird to paper—their characteristics, but mostly their characters. Hunched down or in full stretch, in the water and on land, on their behinds, foreshortened or in three-quarter view, preening their plumage and their wings poised for flight: Peter Vos often depicted his birds several times on one sheet so that you really get to know them. Vos set himself a task: fill an empty book with 333 birds drawn as beautifully as possible. He completed it over eighteen months, from June 1980 to December 1981. He began by going to zoos to sketch the birds. Days later he worked out the sketches in his book, resulting in remarkable drawings that serve as records of his encounters with individual birds. We should view the project as an expression of curiosity for his companions. He loved the winged friends he presents to us in all their glory and individualities—true to nature and with an understanding of their characters, honestly, as befits friends. <br><br> Autorid: Peter Vos, Jan Piet Filedt Kok, Ger Luijten, Siegfried Woldhek <br>

Learn how to target the weaknesses of an attacker and effectively exploit them in order to defend yourself! The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points explains the pressure point techniques found in the Bubishi, the ancient "Bible of Karate," and how recognizing them allows you to defend yourself against such attacks. This book closely examines these vital points and the science behind them, and the author fills a gap in general understanding of how the 36 vital points found in the Bubishi can be targeted using pressure point fighting techniques. While much has been written about the vital points and their medicinal importance, thanks to the popularity of practices such as acupuncture, martial research on the subject has been lacking. Cardwell discusses the vital points from the perspective of an experienced martial artistincluding how the body's vital points are related to the 8 extraordinary vessels and 12 meridians which circulate energy throughout the body. Through detailed step-by-step instructions and over 96 photographs and illustrations, The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points shows how this knowledge can be employed in self-defense. <br><br> Autorid: Rand Cardwell, Patrick McCarthy <br>

Lugu kulgeb läbi ema ja tütre keerukate suhete, jutustades suguvõsa ja ema põlvkonna loo. "Kähköneni tekst hoiab lugejat oma sõltuvust tekitavas maailmas justnagu nikotiin ja 1960ndate amfetamiini sisaldavad dieedipillid, mille lõksu oli kirjaniku ema langenud," kirjutab Peep Ehasalu Sirbis.Raamat kannab alapealkirja "Eksimiste ajalugu". Keeruliste inimeste mõistmiseks on hea teada nende kujunemislugu ja Sirpa Kähkönen viib meid Soome ajaloo keerulistesse, mahavaikitud aastatesse, põlvkondade juurde, keda ei tohtinuks olemas olla ja keda ignoreeriti. Nad pidid ise oma haavade ja armidega hakkama saama. Ja vaikima, mis tegi nende mõistmise iseäranis raskeks."Oma raamatus "36 urni" uurin oma esivanemate pärandit, nagu karmust ja karistamist, mille eesmärgiks oli murda lapse oma tahe.

An explosive, devastating debut poetry book from the winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize 36 Ways of Writing a Vietnamese Poem is an urgent, unsettling reckoning with identity - and the violence of identity. For Le, a Vietnamese refugee in the West, this means the assumed violence of racism, oppression and historical trauma. But it also means the violence of that assumption. Of being always assumed to be outside one's home, country, culture or language. And the complex violence - for the diasporic writer who wants to address any of this - of language itself. Making use of multiple tones, moods, masks and camouflages, Le's poetic debut moves with unpredictable and destabilizing energy between the personal and political. As self-indicting as it is scathing, hilarious as it is desperately moving, this is a singular, breakthrough book. <br><br> Autorid: Nam Le <br>

These aspects are also connected to the phases of the moon, as well as to the seasons.

A year of easy to progressively harder daily challenges to learn the fundamentals of drawing. You want to learn to draw. You know you have to practice. Every day. But it is that blank sheet of paper that sets off the "what do I draw?" and "I don't know how to draw it!" panic. That is where 365 Days of Drawing comes in. There is a step-by-step drawing exercise for every day of the year. Each shows the steps from the first line to the last and a brief text explains the steps. You can move through the book front to back or pick and choose. All 365 drawings start with one shape or line -- a circle, an oval, a square, a rectangle, a curved line, a straight line -- upon which the object or person is built. By mixing these basic strokes anything is achievable. The reader can add perspective to go from two- to three-dimensions: create volume turning a square into a box, add depth turning a circle into a cylinder, create distance making railway tracks disappear. A one-quarter view of a box is different than from the front, and an open box even more different. Facial features can be a beginning drawer's nightmare but not if you know the lines of halves and thirds on which all faces are drawn. At the same time, you will learn anatomy and what goes where when someone is walking, bowling, sleeping, or more. In all, there are more than 50 drawings of people in various poses. The variety is impressive just by using the basic shapes and lines: all straight lines for a xylophone, an Egyptian pyramid, a house all curved lines for a rhinoceros, a high-heeled shoe, a crying baby curved lines mixed with straight lines for a jetliner, a city center, a tennis racket. With its abundance of approachable drawings as well as loads of tips, instruction and inspiration, 365 Days of Drawing will have even the most artistically challenged mastering the art of drawing. Those with experience can use daily challenges to polish their skills. <br><br> Autorid: Lise Herzog <br>

Author of 365 Days of Drawing. Lise Herzog is an accomplished teacher of pen and pencil skills. Her first work with Firefly is notable for the thoroughness of its easy lessons, progressing from a few simple lines to shading and texture... over 365 days. When it comes to drawing, "practice makes perfect." In 365 Days of Drawing People, Herzog shows how, with a few strokes of the pencil, you can make a simple likeness of infant, toddler, young adult and older people - people with work and age lines in their faces. Then progressively, through the year, make more complex drawings of hands and limbs, faces and hair, and have multiple perspectives of the same person, or drawings of bodies in motion. Each drawing is shown in black on the page, but the days of the year and title of the drawing are in 4-colour, making the book lively and inspiring in its presentation. Better still, like the original 365 Days of Drawing, this new book is very thick, and quarter-bound in real cloth, ressembling a traditional artist's notebook or sketchpad. This feature has been a notable factor in the success of the original book, giving it the look and feel of a costly volume yet presented at an attractive price. <br><br> Autorid: Lise Herzog <br>
