Nina Sayers, a young ballerina, dances the prologue to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, a ballet expressing a story drawn from Russian folk tales about a princess who has been turned into a White Swan and can only be turned back if a man swears eternal fidelity to her.

The Fairy Fellerâ (Tm)S Master-Stroke
ISBN: 9781443841238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard Dadd is a trickster, a pre-post-modern enigma wrapped in a Shakespearean Midsummer Night's Dream; an Elizabethan Puck living in a smothering Victorian insane asylum, foreshadowing and, in brilliant, Mad Hatter conundrums, entering the fragmented shards of today's nightmarish oxymorons long before the artists currently trying to give them the joker's ephemeral maps of discourse. The author thinks of Bob Dylan's Ballad of a Thin Man, that cryptic refusal to reduce the warped mirrors of reality to prosaic lies, or, perhaps All Along the Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man. Even more than...

Insanity and Genius: Masks of Madness and the Mapping of Meaning and Value
ISBN: 9781443858854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 770 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his book about the discovery of the structure of DNA, James Watson wrote, "So we had lunch, telling ourselves that a structure this beautiful just had to exist." Indeed, the quest most often asked by scientists about a scientific theory is "Is it beautiful?" Yes, beauty equals truth. Scientists know, mathematicians know. But the beauties, the truths of mathematics and science were not the truths that inspired the author as a child, and he intuitively knew that the truths he needed come from a different way of knowing, a way of knowing not of the world of logic and reason and explanation...

Divine Madness
ISBN: 9781443832984 / Twarda / 2011 / 525 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lila is Sanskrit for play, the play of the gods. It is the self-generating genesis of Bliss, created by Bliss for the purpose of Bliss. It is the uninhibited, impulsive sport of Brahman, the free spirit of creation that results in the spontaneous unfolding of the cosmos to be found in the eternity of each moment. It is beyond the confining locks and chains of reason, beyond the steel barred windows looking out from the cages of explanation, beyond the droning tick-tick-tick of the huge mechanical clocks of time.
Come, let us enter the realm of the madman and the finely wrought threads of... Lila is Sanskrit for play, the play of the gods. It is the self-generating genesis of Bliss, created by Bliss for the purpose of Bliss. It is the unin...
