Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carterin
1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable
window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create
an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the
perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be
entered following the final judgment.When acclaimed photographer
Sandro Vanninistarted his work in Egypt in the late ’90s, a
technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies
enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in
unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous
multi-shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic
reproductions that revealed colors in their original toneswith
vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover
the objects’ quintessential features alongside the sophisticated
and cleverly hidden details.In collaboration with a series of
international exhibitions, starting with King Tut: Treasures of the
Golden Pharaohat the California Science Center in March 2018, this
comprehensive guide marks thecentenary of Carter’s first
excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works
endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless
splendor.From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life,
Vannini’s portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian
culture—but it is Tutankhamun’s unique legacythat dominates these
images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist
Mohamed Megahed,and chapter introductions from scholars in the
field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworldputs
much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible
forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists includingSalima
Ikramand David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent
images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title afitting
tribute to the Boy King’s odyssey, illuminating an epoch that
spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
