Celebrate more than 100 years of Germany's best two- and
four-wheeled rides. This handsome volume is filled with images,
history, and in-depth review of the incredible machines BMW has
created year after year. Established in 1916, BMW is one of the
automotive and motorcycle industry's oldest and most-respected
manufacturers. Over the past 100-plus years, the company has passed
through myriad incarnations. BMW Centurychronicles this remarkable
transportation story through the cars and motorcycles manufactured,
from the 1923 R32 motorcycle to today's sleek electric, hybrid, and
high-performance cars. BMW Century showcases how the company's
visionary team systematically rebuilt BMW in the post-World War II
years into the spectacular success we know today--a company with
sales in excess of two million cars annually, led by its
top-selling 3-series. BMW's motorcycle division is no less
legendary. It began with the 1923 avant-garde R32, which featured a
180-degree, horizontally opposed twin, the engine configuration
that would become BMW's hallmark. Over the decades, BMW used that
configuration to power groundbreaking machines like the R90S,
R100RS, and R80GS. Beginning in 1983, the company added add three-
and four-cylinder machines to their offerings, culminating in
today's spectacular S1000RR sport bike. From the pre-war
motorcycles to the iconic R-series twins of the 1970s and '80s to
the mighty M-cars and superbikes of today, BMW Century offers a
full review of German engineering at its zenith. The book is
illustrated generously with hundreds of historic, contemporary, and
racing photographs--many sourced from BMW's historic archives--and
thorough text covering BMW's full history. This is the one volume
no BMW aficionado will want to be without.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
