The Empire Style Gown is the first publication from the new series
entitled Zamerané na predmet (Focused on Object) which strives to
present the role of the museum by focusing on specific activities
which the staff carries out when researching and preserving items
of our cultural heritage. This book presents the oldest dress from
the collections of the SNM – Museum of History. This Empire style
gown from the historic textile and clothing collection is more than
200 years old and was owned by Maria Zay, a member of the Zay
aristocratic family. According to family recollections, she wore
this gown at one of the balls during the Congress of Vienna. This
publication describes the gown itself, the materials used when
making it as well the Empire style fashion. You will also learn
about the magazines that Maria Zay bought in order to follow the
latest fashion trends. In addition to information about the gown
itself, readers will learn about its owner, who due to her
education, literary ambitions and charitable activities, is one of
the outstanding noblewomen in our history. She lived in Uhrovec,
Bučany, Šoproň and Vienna and attended and organized literary
salons. Her portraits, books from the large family library and her
gown which she wore during her stays in Vienna were later donated
to different museums in Slovakia. In addition to the story about
the gown and its owner, readers will learn about the museum’s
acquisition and professional care for fashionable dresses. We
believe that this publication will provide new information and
inspire a joy of learning not just about history, but about
everyday life and clothing.
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.
