The devil will do all he asks on Earth and seeks to grant him a moment in life so glorious that he will wish it to last forever. But if Faust does bid the moment stay, he falls to Mephistopheles and must serve him after death. In this first part of Goethe’s great work, the embittered thinker and Mephistopheles enter into their agreement, and soon Faust is living a rejuvenated life and winning the love of the beautiful Gretchen. But in this compelling tragedy of arrogance, unfulfilled desire, and self-delusion, Faust heads inexorably toward an infernal destruction.]]> 503 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 0385031149 Марија 5 3.91 1790 Faust

Knjiga nespokoja važi za kamen temeljac evropskog modernizma, to je knjiga na kojoj je Pesoa radio čitav život i nikada je nije završio ostavljajući svojim brojnim tumačima da joj pronađu početak i kraj, da je sa svakim novim izdanjem preuređuju kao nedokučivu slagalicu života, bez mogućnosti da dobiju tačnu i konačnu verziju. Pesoino vanvremensko delo upravo je to, neuhvatljiva istina stvari koja kao da nikada nije ni bila predodređena da se izgovori.]]> 611 Fernando Pessoa Марија 0 to-read 4.51 1982 Knjiga nespokoja

]]> <![CDATA[A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)]]> 79766 A Pattern Language is the philosophy that in designing their environments people always rely on certain ‘languages,’ which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a formal system which gives them coherence.

This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable making a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. ‘Patterns,’ the units of this language, are answers to design problems: how high should a window sill be?; how many stories should a building have?; how much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?

More than 250 of the patterns in this language are outlined, each consisting of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seems likely that they will be a part of human nature and human action as much in five hundred years as they are today.

A Pattern Language is related to Alexander’s other works in the Center for Environmental Structure series: The Timeless Way of Building (introductory volume) and The Oregon Experiment.]]> 1171 Christopher W.

U Starokuče se ubrajaju i Malisori-katolici nastanjeni u Zatrijebču i u Koćima. Iako još uvek nije utvrđeno ko je bio Drekale, pouzdano se zna da je on postojao zato što se njegov sin Lale spominje u nekoliko dokumenata kao Lale Drekalov, kučki vojvoda.]]> 239 Mile Kordić Марија 5 3.95 Zakletva

]]> Majstor i Margarita 32798721
Višestruko isprepletane niti različitih žanrova – satire, farse, fantastike i mistike, filozofske parabole, pa i melodrame, uz neodoljive primese sarkazma i prefinjene ironije – tvore magični svet ovog remek-dela, negde na granici zbilje i mašte, sna i jave.

Dolazak tajanstvenog Volanda i njegove svite – neobičnog gospodina u kariranim pantalonama i neponovljivog mačka Behemota – u Staljinovu Moskvu iniciraće čitav niz događaja sa tragikomičnim zapletom i surovim posledicama: svako će biti prinuđen da se suoči sa istinom o sebi.

Moskovska zbivanja prožimaju se sa biblijskom pričom o Isusu Hristu i Pontiju Pilatu, večnim pitanjem sukoba dobra i zla. Ali premda ljudi jesu po prirodi nesavršeni, oni u sebi nose klice i vrline i iskvarenosti, i sami odlučuju šta ce realizovati. A u poređenju sa nekim ljudima, možda ni sam đavo nije baš tako crn... Nasuprot mračnoj strani čovečanstva, u toj grotesknoj priči o ljudskoj sudbini, još snažnije blista ljubav majstora i Margarite, čista i neiskvarena, jača od svih iskušenja – pa i same smrti.]]> 375 Mikhail Bulgakov 8610013650 Марија 5 4.47 1967 Majstor i Margarita

]]> Thus Spoke Zarathustra 51893 Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale in Penguin Classics.

Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life passionate, chaotic and free.]]> 327 Friedrich Nietzsche Марија 4 4.10 1883 Thus Spoke Zarathustra

]]> Thinking Architecture 223929 In order to design a building with a sensuous connection to life, one must think in a way that goes far beyond form and construction. In these essays Peter Zumthor expresses his motivation in designing buildings, which speak to our emotions and understanding in so many ways, and possess a powerful and unmistakable presence and personality.

This book, whose first edition has been out of print for years, has been expanded to include three new essays: "Does Beauty Have a Form?," "The Magic of the Real," and "Light in the Landscape." It has been freshly illustrated throughout with new color photographs of Zumthor's new home and studio in Haldenstein, taken specially for this edition by Laura Padgett, and received a new typography by Hannele Gronlund.

]]> Towards a New Architecture 70134
The first major exposition of his ideas appeared in Vers une Architecture (1923), a compilation of articles originally written by Le Corbusier for his own avant-garde magazine, L'Esprit Nouveau. The present volume is an unabridged English translation of the 13th French edition of that historic manifesto, in which Le Corbusier expounded his technical and aesthetic theories, views on industry, economics, relation of form to function, the "mass-production spirit," and much else. A principal prophet of the "modern" movement in architecture, and a near-legendary figure of the "International School," he designed some of the twentieth century's most memorable buildings: Chapel at Ronchamp; Swiss dormitory at the Cité Universitaire, Paris; Unité d'Habitation, Marseilles; and many more.

Le Corbusier brought great passion and intelligence to these essays, which present his ideas in a concise, pithy style, studded with epigrammatic, often provocative, observations: "American engineers overwhelm with their calculations our expiring architecture." "Architecture is stifled by custom. It is the only profession in which progress is not considered necessary." "A cathedral is not very beautiful . . ." and "Rome is the damnation of the half-educated. To send architectural students to Rome is to cripple them for life."

Profusely illustrated with over 200 line drawings and photographs of his own works and other structures he considered important, Towards a New Architecture is indispensable reading for architects, city planners, and cultural historians―but will intrigue anyone fascinated by the wide-ranging ideas, unvarnished opinions, and innovative theories of one of this century's master builders.]]> 289 Le Corbusier 0486250237 Марија 0 3.95 1923 Towards a New Architecture

]]> Samom sebi 17253680 Razmatranja o samom sebi je dnevnik Marka Aurelija, rimskog cara i poslednjeg velikog predstavnika stoičke filozofije, u kome je car naslikao intimnog sebe, kao onaj umetnik što potomstvu ostavlja svoj portret. Ono što najviše zrači iz toga dnevnika, koji nije drugo nego monolog iz tragedije velikog srca, jeste iskrenost carevih sopstvenih osećanja. Šta su bolovi napravili od njega kao čoveka, muža, roditelja i cara, a šta je on kao mudrac napravio od bolova! Sve što je car-filozof pisao o životu i ljudskoj bedi zadahnuo je osećanjima koja je sam negovao. Vidna je sumnja koja često izbija iz njegova verovanja, vidan je bol koji je bolovao u časovima sumnje, napor da razumom stečene misli pomiri s verom u svom osećanju, kao što je vidna i vera u nepobedivost ljudskog uma, koji ga spasava od asketske suvoće, kvijetizma i očajanja."
