William Morris was an outstanding character of many talents, being an architect, writer, social campaigner, artist and, with his Kelmscott Press, an important figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Many of us probably know him best, however, from his superb furnishings and textile designs, intricately weaving together natural motifs in a highly stylized two-dimensional fashion influenced by medieval conventions. William Morris Masterpieces of Art offers a survey of his life and work alongside some of his finest decorative work.

The gift, like so many gifts, was a book...' So begins the essay by Robert Macfarlane that inspired this collection. In this cornucopia of an anthology, you will find essays by some of the world's most beloved novelists, nonfiction writers, essayists and poets. 'You will see books taking flight in flocks, migrating around the world, landing in people's hearts and changing them for a day or a year or a lifetime. 'You will see books sparking wonder or anger; throwing open windows into other languages, other cultures, other minds; causing people to fall in love or to fight for what is right. 'And more than anything, over and over again, you will see books and words being given, received and read - and in turn prompting further generosity.' Published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of global literacy non-profit, Room to Read, The Gifts of Reading forms inspiring, unforgettable, irresistible proof of the power and necessity of books and reading.Inspired by Robert Macfarlane Curated by Jennie Orchard

Berlinmurens fall tycktes markera slutet för den kommunistiska utopin, men samtidigt bars förändringen fram av en utopisk energi och drömmar om ett pluralistiskt samhälle utan förtryck. Det nya årtusendets inträde har samtidigt setts som inledningen på en ny tid, vilket gett näring till utopiska spekulationer. Fronesis nr 2 befinner sig i skärningspunkten mellan verklighet och utopi. Det handlar om den socialistiska idétraditionens förhållande till det utopiska tänkandet, om feministiska utopier, om det tidiga 1900-talets utopiska tanke om att skapa ”en ny människa” med mera. Innehåll i Fronesis nr 2 (138 sidor): Norberto Bobbio: Den förvridna utopins fall Petra Hall och Sara Winnfors: I glappet mellan möjligt och omöjligt Per Månson: Utopiernas död: Har socialismen någon framtid? Barbara Taylor: Den socialistiska feminismen: utopi eller vetenskap? Jakob Norberg: Inledning till Walter Benjamins ”Program för en proletär barnteater” Walter Benjamin: Program för en proletär barnteater Ulrika Holgersson: Frida Stéenhoffs feministiska utopi Frida Stéenhoff: Feminismens moral Jenny Lindblad: Herland – Den litterära feministiska utopin Charlotte Perkins Gilman: Våra förhållanden och deras Sara Winnfors: Arkitektur och makt Ur Acceptera-manifestet: Staden William Morris: Om den dekorativa konstens ursprung Michel Foucault: Rum, makt och kunskap Richard Saage: Reflektioner över den politiska utopins framtid Jean Baudrillard: I skuggan av millenniet, eller Det ovissa år 2000 Blå Tåget: Nyårsafton
