Decades before he blew the lid off the high-stakes art world by
shredding a work immediately following its purchase at an auction,
Banksy was committing acts of artistic protest on the streets,
walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world. We still don't
know who Banksy is, but thanks to this book we have a greater sense
of how he works. This book features approximately eighty works from
the start of his street art career to today, most photographed in
situ and presented in vibrant illustrations.This book guides
readers through Banksy's artistic processes and explains his
influences, such as the Situationism movement and the May 1968
uprising in Paris. It delves into key works such as Love Is in the
Air, a stencilled graffiti that subverts the idea of violent
protest, Flag, in which the iconic American photograph at Iwo Jima
is altered to reflect a group of Harlem children atop a burnt-out
car, and the slyly titled Turf War, in which Winston Churchill
sports a grassy Mohawk. The book also pays tribute to Banksy's
rats, a reviled symbol of urban decay that the artist reimagines as
rappers, violin players, and painters.As Banksy continues to
challenge the political, economic, and racial oppression that takes
place every day in cities around the world, this book offers a
timely appreciation of just how the artist has embedded himself
into the psyche of the powerful as well as the voiceless-without
ever revealing his own identity.

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.
