Download or read book Isokon and the Bauhaus in Britain written by Leyla Daybelge and published by Batsford Books. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1930s, three giants of the international Modern movement, Bauhaus professors Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer and László Moholy-Nagy, fled Nazi Germany and sought refuge in Hampstead in the most exciting new apartment block in Britain. The Lawn Road Flats, or Isokon building, was commissioned by the young visionary couple Jack and Molly Pritchard and designed by aspiring architect Wells Coates. Built in 1934 in response to the question 'How do we want to live now?' it was England's first modernist apartment building and was hugely influential in pioneering the concept of minimal living. During the mid-1930s and 1940s its flats, bar and dining club became an extraordinary creative nexus for international artists, writers and thinkers. Jack Pritchard employed Gropius, Breuer and Moholy-Nagy in his newly formed Isokon design company and the furniture, architecture and graphic art the three produced in pre-war England helped shape Modern Britain. This book tells the story of the Isokon, from its beginnings to the present day, and fully examines the work, artistic networks and legacy of the Bauhaus artists during their time in Britain. The tales are not just of design and architecture but war, sex, death, espionage and infamous dinner parties. Isokon resident Agatha Christie features in the book, as does Charlotte Perriand who Jack Pritchard commissioned for a pavilion design in 1930. The book is beautifully illustrated with largely unseen archive photography, and includes the work of photographer and Soviet spy Edith Tudor-Hart, as well as plans and sketches, menus, postcards and letters from the Pritchard family archive. In Spring 2018, the Isokon building and Breuer, Gropius and Moholy-Nagy were honoured with a Blue Plaque from English Heritage.

Book excerpt: Auric Goldfinger é o homem mais rico da Inglaterra. Obcecado por ouro, misterioso e excêntrico, ele chama atenção do MI6, que escala seu melhor agente para descobrir o que há por trás das transações desse milionário. Em 'Goldfinger', trama publicada originalmente em 1959 e vivida no cinema por Sean Connery, em 1964, Bond vai da Flórida à Suíça para desfazer os planos do perigoso magnata. Em seu primeiro encontro, à beira de uma piscina em Miami, Goldfinger mostra-se apenas como um sujeito competitivo, que fará de tudo para não perder um jogo ou uma aposta. Nos encontros seguintes, no entanto, Bond descobre que tem diante de si um dos inimigos mais terríveis e maquiavélicos que já enfrentou. Seu plano - dar o maior golpe de todos os tempos - roubar o Fort Knox e desestabilizar a economia global. Bond passa por apuros enquanto investiga Goldfinger - o magnata é suspeito de envolvimento com a SMERSH, braço de contraespionagem soviético. A obsessão do milionário por ouro, que faz com que cubra o corpo das mulheres com quem se relaciona sexualmente com o metal, vitimiza a assistente de Bond, Jill Masterson, que manteve um rápido caso com o agente. A exemplo da cena do filme de 1964, ela é encontrada morta, asfixiada pela tinta dourada.

Book excerpt: Goldfinger ist Ian Flemings siebter Bond-Roman und führt den britischen Geheimagenten um die ganze Welt, um einen von Gold besessenen Größenwahnsinnigen aufzuhalten ... Auric Goldfinger: grausam, schlau, frustrierend vorsichtig. Er betrügt beim Canasta und ist ein Gauner im großen Stil, der auch im alltäglichen Leben ständig krumme Dinger dreht. Er ist die Art von Mann, die James Bond hasst. Daher ist es ein Glück für Bond, dass er im Auftrag der Bank von England und des MI5 herausfinden soll, was der reichste Mann des Landes mit seinem unrechtmäßig erworbenen Vermögen vorhat - und in welcher Verbindung er zu SMERSCH steht, dem gefürchteten sowjetischen Korps, das Jagd auf Spione macht. Doch sobald er sich erst einmal in der Organisation dieses gefährlichen Verbrechers befindet, wird 007 klar, dass Goldfingers Pläne grandioser - und tödlicher - sind, als man sich je hätte vorstellen können. Er plant nicht nur den größten Goldraub in der Geschichte, sondern auch Massenmord ... Jeder kennt sie: die teils stark von den Vorlagen abweichenden Verfilmungen der James-Bond-Romane. Pünktlich zum 50-jährigen Jubliäum der Filmreihe gilt es die Ian-Fleming-Originale erstmals im "Director's Cut" zu entdecken! Endlich wird es möglich sein, Titel wie "Goldfinger", "Thunderball" oder "You Only Live Twice" komplett in ungekürzten Übersetzungen und mit den ursprünglichen Kapitelabschnitten und -überschriften zu lesen. Es verspricht eine einzigartige James-Bond-Bibliothek zu werden, die dazu einlädt, dem Kult um den britischen Gentleman-Geheimdienstler mit der "Lizenz zum Töten" auf den Grund zu gehen.
Download or read book The Ministry of Nostalgia written by Owen Hatherley and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should we have to “Keep Calm and Carry On”? In this brilliant polemical rampage, Owen Hatherley shows how our past is being resold in order to defend the indefensible. From the marketing of a “make do and mend” aesthetic to the growing nostalgia for a utopian past that never existed, a cultural distraction scam prevents people grasping the truth of their condition. The Ministry of Nostalgia explodes the creation of a false history: a rewriting of the austerity of the 1940s and 1950s, which saw the development of a welfare state while the nation crawled out of the devastations of war. This period has been recast to explain and offer consolation for the violence of neoliberalism, an ideology dedicated to the privatisation of our common wealth. In coruscating prose—with subjects ranging from Ken Loach’s documentaries, Turner Prize–shortlisted video art, London vernacular architecture, and Jamie Oliver’s cooking—Hatherley issues a passionate challenge to the injunction to keep calm and carry on.
