Книга о нидерландском живописце Иерониме Босхе. Художник стал известен еще при жизни. Помимо традиционных алтарей, Босх создавал образы рая, как бы увиденные в галлюцинациях, столь же причудливые, сколь и демонические - явно не предназначенные для церкви. Несмотря на огромный интерес к личности художника существенная часть творчества Босха оставалась неизвестной. Только в ХХ веке она всплыла из забвения благодаря интересу сюрреалистов к таинственной символике босховских образов. В настоящее время ему приписывают всего сорок произведений, при том, что содержание их часто остается загадкой для историков искусства, поскольку не существует прямых источников, способных его прояснить. Книга состоит из вступления и семи глав, подробно рассказывающих о жизни художника и об истории написания каждой картины, представленной в издании. В конце книги приводится библиография самых значительных трудов о Босхе, вышедших во всем мире.

Книга "Воцарение Романовых. XVII в." продолжает серию книг "Россия - путь сквозь века". Романовы - старинный русский дворянский род, династия русских царей и императоров. Благодаря браку Ивана IV Грозного с представительницей рода Романовых Анастасией Романовной Захарьиной род Захарьиных-Романовых стал в XVI веке близким к царскому двору, а после пресечения московской ветви Рюриковичей начал претендовать на престол. В 1613 году внучатый племянник Анастасии Михаил Федорович был избран на царский престол, и его потомство стало традиционно называться "Домом Романовых". XVII век - сложный период в жизни России. Великая смута потрясла основы государства. Потребовались усилия всего народа, чтобы отстоять независимость страны и начать долгую и сложную работу по укреплению государства. Какие события способствовали тому, что на престол взошел первый Романов? Каковы итоги этого важнейшего периода в жизни Русского государства? Обо всем этом идет речь в предлагаемой книге.

"Те художники, которые изображая изящных созданий в цвете жизни, стремятся придать изображенному предмету более обаяния и изящества, заимствовав их из собственного свободного воображения, уродуют свое творение, будучи не верны своей модели, а посему они отходят в равной степени от истинной красоты. Наш Брейгель свободен от этого "недостатка". Абрахам Ортелий.

The modern state of Angola was established in 1975, when it won its freedom from Portugal. However, peace did not accompany Angola's independence. Instead, fighting between nationalist groups launched the country into nearly three decades of civil war.Although the civil war ended in 2002, its effects are still being felt. Angola's people are among the poorest in the world, and it is home to more land mines than any other country. Angola does have some advantages, including vast reserves of diamonds and oil. Angolans hope to use the wealth from these resources to rebuild their shattered society.

Ever since Sir Arthur Evans first excavated at the site of the Palace at Knossos in the early twentieth century, scholars and visitors have been drawn to the architecture of Bronze Age Crete. Much of the attraction comes from the geographical and historical uniqueness of the island. Equidistant from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Minoan Crete is on the shifting conceptual border between East and West, and chronologically suspended between history and prehistory. In this culturally dynamic context, architecture provided more than physical shelter; it embodied meaning. Architecture was a medium through which Minoans constructed their notions of social, ethnic, and historical identity: the buildings tell us about how the Minoans saw themselves, and how they wanted to be seen by others. Architecture of Minoan Crete is the first comprehensive study of the entire range of Minoan architecture--including houses, palaces, tombs, and cities--from 7000 BC to 1100 BC. John C. McEnroe synthesizes the vast literature on Minoan Crete, with particular emphasis on the important discoveries of the past twenty years, to provide an up-to-date account of Minoan architecture. His accessible writing style, skillful architectural drawings of houses and palaces, site maps, and color photographs make this book inviting for general readers and visitors to Crete, as well as scholars.

To modern sensibilities, nineteenth-century zoos often seem to be unnatural places where animals led miserable lives in cramped, wrought-iron cages. Today zoo animals, in at least the better zoos, wander in open spaces that resemble natural habitats and are enclosed, not by bars, but by moats, cliffs, and other landscape features. In Savages and Beasts, Nigel Rothfels traces the origins of the modern zoo to the efforts of the German animal entrepreneur Carl Hagenbeck. By the late nineteenth century, Hagenbeck had emerged as the world's undisputed leader in the capture and transport of exotic animals. His business included procuring and exhibiting indigenous peoples in highly profitable spectacles throughout Europe and training exotic animals--humanely, Hagenbeck advertised--for circuses around the world. When in 1907 the Hagenbeck Animal Park opened in a village near Hamburg, Germany, Hagenbeck brought together all his business interests in a revolutionary zoological park. He moved wild animals out of their cages and into "natural landscapes" alongside "primitive" peoples from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the islands of the Pacific. Hagenbeck had invented a new way of imagining captivity: the animals and people on exhibit appeared to be living in the wilds of their native lands.

The son of the great King Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander was educated by Aristotle and commanded a wing of his father's army in the victory over the Thebans and Athenians at the Battle of Chaeronea—all when he was still just a teenager. By the time of his death at age 32, he had amassed an empire that stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River and included all of Persia and most of Egypt. He ruled as both the shah of Persia and as a pharaoh of Egypt by right of conquest, and he was also crowned king of Asia. Here, historian Bill Yenne illuminates the legendary vision of this classical hero. Exhibiting the best traits of a battlefield leader, Alexander was audacious, aggressive, fearless and victorious. His unfailing integration of strategic vision and tactical genius took him to the ends of the earth, and into immortality as a military leader. Alexander's influence on cultural and political history and the scope of his military prowess remains awe-inspiring to this day.
