Razgrablenie varvarami nekogda moguschestvennogo, a v 410 godu lezhavshego v ruinakh Rima oznamenovalo konets prezhnej epokhi i nachalo tysjacheletnej glubokoj transformatsii. V zakhvatyvajuschem povestvovanii, izobilujuschem izvestnymi imenami - ot svjatogo Avgustina i Attily do proroka Mukhammeda i Alienory Akvitanskoj, - Den Dzhons issleduet istoriju Srednevekovja i soprovozhdaet chitatelej v puteshestvii po razvivajuschejsja Evrope, velikim stolitsam pozdnej Antichnosti i vlijatelnym gorodam islamskogo Zapada. Srednevekovyj mir byl sformirovan moschnymi silami, kotorye aktualny i segodnja: izmenenie klimata, pandemii, massovaja migratsija i tekhnologicheskie revoljutsii. Eto bylo vremja, kogda rozhdalis velikie evropejskie natsii, byli kodifitsirovany osnovnye zapadnye sistemy prava i upravlenija, khristianskaja tserkov stanovilas moschnym institutom i reguljatorom zapadnoj obschestvennoj morali, a iskusstvo, arkhitektura, filosofskie issledovanija i nauchnaja mysl perezhivali periody revoljutsionnykh izmenenij. Zapad byl vosstanovlen na ruinakh Rimskoj imperii i vyshel iz sostojanija krizisa, nachav dominirovat v mire. Kazhdaja sfera chelovecheskoj zhizni i dejatelnosti oschutila na sebe preobrazovanija. "My pronesemsja na golovokruzhitelnoj skorosti po stoletijam i kontinentam. My povstrechaem sotni muzhchin i zhenschin, ot vozhdja gunnov Attily do Zhanny d'Ark. I my s golovoj pogruzimsja v djuzhinu raznoobraznykh istoricheskikh otraslej, ot jurisprudentsii i voennogo dela do iskusstva i literatury. Ja sobirajus zadat rjad vazhnykh voprosov - i, nadejus, smogu najti na nikh otvety. Chto proiskhodilo v Srednie veka? Kto togda pravil? Kak vygljadela vlast? Kakie velikie sily vlijali na zhizn ljudej? Kak Srednie veka sformirovali tot mir, kotoryj my znaem segodnja, - i mozhno li voobsche zadavatsja takim voprosom? Poroj vam mozhet pokazatsja, chto vse eto chereschur slozhno dlja vosprijatija. No, obeschaju, budet interesno". (Den Dzhons) Perevodchik: Stepanova Viktorija Redaktor: Zakharov A. O.

Yves Saint Laurent's enduring impact on fashion and culture is explored through 70 of the fashion house's iconic pieces. Joining the house of Dior at the age of just 18, it was obvious that this fashion upstart had a glorious career ahead of him. Forged in the famous French house it wasn't long before YSL was launching his own boutique. He reinvented women's wear and transformed it into daring pieces such as the Le Smoking tuxedo and the Saharienne safari jacket – both instances of borrowing from menswear to create something bold, striking and a little bit scandalous. YSL championed the concept of 'ready-to-wear', bringing high-end fashion to a whole new audience. His eponymous label created countless stunning garments and has been worn by both the famous and the infamous – from Catherine Deneuve and Jerry Hall to Naomi Campbell and Charli XCX. YSL is a true style icon whose genius is celebrated in this beautifully illustrated title.

For those who enjoyed Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and Chris Carter's The X-Files, Dan Jones has distilled a monastic detective adventure that goes back to the late medieval period in which he specialises. We are in Northern Italy in 1367, in the company of the esteemed scholar and Holy Inquisitor Brother Jacobus of Vienna, who has made a habit of intervening in inquisitorial trials, using reason to test religious superstition and speculation. Sent to examine a new case, Jacobus applies the sound principles of rigorous research and philosophical logic, and manages to acquit an innocent woman tried for sorcery, much to the irritation of the cardinals at the Papal Palace in Avignon, who thereby feel defied. When Jacobus hears of a mysterious spate of infant disappearances in a remote community in Northern England, his intellectual curiosity is again piqued and he takes off to solve the mystery, once again in defiance of the cardinals. Arriving in England, he finds a land that's in a state of dissarray, beset by Scottish raiders, litigious noblemen, eccentric Franciscan friars- and talk of demons in the woods. All the while, spectres of violence, both ancient and new, lurk behind every stone and tree. Jacobus is determined to discover the cause of the disappearances, but is waylaid by something monstrous in the forest that neither his science nor his faith can explain. As he struggles to solve this very different puzzle from the one that brought him to England, his deceptions catch up with him, and he faces a terrible crisis that will either destroy his philosophical beliefs or shatter his soul.

Istorik, zhurnalist i televeduschij Den Dzhons priglashaet chitatelej v zakhvatyvajuschee puteshestvie po srednevekovomu miru - mnogogrannoj Evrope, proslavlennym stolitsam pozdnej Antichnosti, vlijatelnym gorodam islamskogo mira, - znakomja s velikimi dejateljami proshlogo, ot svjatogo Avgustina i Attily do proroka Mukhammeda i Alienory Akvitanskoj. Kak Velikoe pereselenie narodov izmenilo mir? Chem zhili monakhi, rytsari i prostoljudiny? Kak vlijali drug na druga srednevekovyj Zapad i Vostok? Otvety na eti i mnogie drugie voprosy vy uznaete v poistine masshtabnom issledovanii burnoj epokhi, okhvativshej tseloe tysjacheletie." My vse v nekotorom smysle deti Srednevekovja" (Den Dzhons).

Christian Dior's era-defining designs and enduring legacy are captured here in more than 50 of the fashion house's most iconic pieces. Dior redefined what fashion looked like in the post-war age and demanded glamour, femininity and excess to be the order of the day. His vision for seriously structured corsets tapering to dramatically full skirts with pleats for days earned the title 'The New Look', and it really was. His garments spoke of hope and beauty and were crafted with the utmost attention to detail. This beautifully illustrated book charts not only the work of the great man himself, but also those who stood at the helm after him, including the inimitable Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano. The House of Dior has dressed everyone from Old Hollywood icons like Grace Kelly and Marlene Dietrich through to fictional fashion icon Carrie Bradshaw and music royalty Rihanna. Style Icon: Dior is a wonderful tribute to the romantic, lavish and elaborate designs of a beloved brand.

Nämä koirat ovat haistaneet verenHistorioitsija Dan Jonesin esikoisromaani Essexin koirat kertoo kuninkaan surmaa suunnittelevan palkkasoturijoukon armottomista taisteluista satavuotisen sodan melskeissäHeinäkuussa 1346 kymmenen englantilaismiehen joukko rantautuu Normandiaan. He kutsuvat itseään Essexin koiriksi, ja heitä johtaa monien kamppailujen arpeuttama kapteeni, joka aikoo luotsata miehet Euroopan kohtalon määrittävän sodan ytimeen. Matkatessaan yhä pidemmälle kohti taistelujen keskipisteenä olevaa Crécyn kylää soturijoukko löytää itsensä keskeltä konfliktia, jossa kaikki sodankäynnin säännöt on unohdettu ja jossa ritarillisuus on kuollut aate. Kaaoksen ympäröiminä koirien täytyy pitää katseensa kohteessa: Crécyssä vierailevassa Ranskan kuninkaassa, joka heidän on määrä surmata. Dan Jonesin historiallisen romaanitrilogian aloittava Essexin koirat on elinvoimainen ja järisyttävien taisteluiden keskelle vievä tarina, jossa panoksena ovat lukemattomat ihmishenget ja Euroopan suurimman kuningaskunnan valtaistuin.
