Jiří Trnka "Umění"






"Zahrada umění je obklopena průhlednou zdí z ledu. Uvnitř jsou ti, co vešli, venku ti, co chtějí vejít. A když přijde večer a noc, ti všichni, kdo ve dne tvrdě na zdi bušili, i ti, kteří jen špendlíčkem hrabali, i mladík, který první den s nadějí se domáhá vstupu, i stařec, který jen z vytrvalosti třesoucí se rukou drobně klepá, všichni tiše sklánějí hlavy ke spánku a nežli usnou, naposled hledí jasným ledem do zahrady, která nespí, a vidí ty, kteří pevnou rukou sklízejí úrodu, a poznávají je - jak snadno je všichni poznáváme, jak dobře je známe. Potom tiše usínají a čekají dál, snad ráno - snad za rok."

"Malcolm X: The Great Photographs" (Stewart Tabori & Chang, 1993)

Obrázek
The face of Malcolm X (1925-1965) has become a cultural icon. Depending on who is looking, his image conjures up various men: moral leader, black separatist leader, Black Muslim teacher, radical leader, pan-Africanist leader, pioneer in the spread of orthodox Islam. Malcolm X: The Great Photographs is an extensively researched collection of historical photographs of Malcolm X beginning with his childhood and focusing on the critical years 1959 to 1965, when he was in the public eye. The photographs, arranged chronologically, tell the story of Malcolm's mature life.

„Black Manhattan“ James Weldon Johnson (Da Capo Press, 1991)

Obrázek
In this classic work, first published in 1930, James Weldon Johnson, one of the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance, combined the skills of the historian, social scientist, and the reporter to trace the New York black experience from the earliest settlements on Chatham Square during the pre-revolutionary period to the triumphant achievements of Harlem in the 1920s. But Black Manhattan is by no means simply history; It illuminates Johnson and his contributions to both black literature and black organizations; it provides us with an intimate account of the black theatrical and musical world of which Johnson had been a part; and it raises searching questions about the black people's struggle to find their identity. Black Manhattan remains one of the essential books on the black American experience, losing none of its resonance and value after many decades.
