'Wonderful.' Paul Theroux 'Brilliant.' Simon Jenkins 'Superb.' Colin Thubron 'Breathtakingly good.' Michael Palin A captivating authorised biography of the legendary writer Jan Morris. She was the twentieth century. Who wouldn't want to write her biography? When Jan Morris joined the 1953 Everest expedition and was first to get news of the ascent back to London, she became the most famous journalist in the world. So began a glittering career covering the Eichmann trial, interviewing Che Guevara and scooping the story of Suez collusion. Morris transitioned in the early seventies and documented the experience in Conundrum. She was a pioneer and her books, including Venice and the Pax Britannica trilogy, have inspired readers across the globe. Here, renowned travel writer and biographer Sara Wheeler uncovers the complexity of this twentieth-century icon to reveal a mosaic of contradictions. Morris's work conjured the spirit of place, yet her late masterpiece Trieste celebrates 'the meaning of nowhere'; she was a Welsh nationalist who wasn't Welsh; a preacher of kindness with a cruel side. This is a portrait of an astonishing life, and a scintillating story of longing, travel and never reaching home.

Renowned chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen regularly leads selected groups of guests on a JAN Voyage – culinary journeys to France and Italy. This cookbook, JAN Voyage, takes readers and home cooks on memorable taste explorations, transporting them to places they’ve never been to – which lie off the map in secret locations and ancient medieval villages – and sometimes back to ones they hold dear. The book is a compass, pointing towards the richness of encounters, both great and small, that define what it means to voyage. Each recipe unlocks the essence of a place that has captured Jan Hendrik’s heart and the people met on the journey.

Jan III. Sobieski - Polnischer Nationalheld Und Sieger Von Wien: Geschichte, Nachleben Und Verklarung

Jan III. Sobieski - Polnischer Nationalheld Und Sieger Von Wien: Geschichte, Nachleben Und Verklarung

Vr Unipress

This volume is based on the historiographical assumption that Jan Sobieski does not need to be made present in Vienna, as he has a fixed, albeit constantly changing place in the history of this city and its inhabitants. Rather, the aim is to expand the knowledge about him and to broaden the perspective in terms of seeing him as more than just the hero of one day and one military event. Rather, the aim is to show the background and context of his activities as an extremely interesting, unusual person and as a ruler firmly anchored in his time. In this sense, Sobieski is analysed as a 'lieu de memoire', a border-crossing and glimpse-exchanging place of remembrance.

Jan Krugier, born in Poland in 1928, fought the Nazis during the war until he was caught and sent to Auschwitz. Krugier survived the camps and came to Switzerland with a Red Cross-transport where he was given the chance of starting a new life with a family in Zurich. He was educated as an artist in Zurich and Paris. Encouraged by Alberto Giacometti, Krugier turned to art education and eventually opened his own galleries in Geneva in 1962 and New York in 1966. Both houses quickly became known for ambitious, museum-quality exhibitions of established and emerging contemporary artists, such as Jawlensky, Giacometti, Morandi, Schlemmer and, in particular, Picasso. Krugier also put together a superb collection of 20th-century art. In a series of interviews, done over the last few years before his death in November 2008, the passionate collector, knowledgeable dealer and controversial expert reviews his life marked by traumatising experiences and happy coincidences. He gives a comprehensive insight into his understanding of and his thoughts about art, bringing to life all the great artists he encountered and whose work he helped to promote.

The moving life of Jan Bontjes van Beek (1899–1969) is closely associated with 20th-century German history. A “strikingly blonde sailor who could dance and play the violin,” he joined the Worpswede artist’s colony in 1919 and later found a home with the Breling family in Fischerhude, who introduced him to ceramics. With the support of his second wife, the architect Rahel Weißbach, he moved to Berlin in 1933, where his studio became a well-known meeting place for artists. Despite having been arrested by the National Socialists and his daughter Cato executed, he could not endure the GDR’s Socialist Unity Party regime either and stepped down from a teaching post at the East Berlin Weißensee art school in 1950. He broke into teaching in West Berlin and, finally, in Hamburg continued his ceramic work, which provided the free thinker with a firm footing. Like no other, he emphasised materiality in form and dynamism in colour. During tumultuous times, he sought out the perfect balance for his vessels, and ultimately for himself. Text in English and German.
