Translation of: Auf schwarzen Listen. Includes index. Subjects: Lendvai, Paul (1929-) --Journalists --Hungary --Biography --Europe --Politics and government --1945 --Europe, Eastern --Politics and government --1945. Summary: Paul Lendvai, born a Hungarian Jew, was arrested by the Nazis as a teenager, survived the Holocaust, became a young communist activist in post-war Budapest, was arrested by the communists, again survived as one of the country's youngest political prisoners and, on his release, was blacklisted as a journalist by the communist regime. After fleeing to Vienna following the 1956 Revolution, Lendvai was to become one of the world's best-informed journalists and commentators on Eastern Europe. In this prize-winning memoir, Lendvai paints a chilling picture of ethnic hatred, political turbulence and murderous anti-Semitism which have characterized the history of 20th century Central Europe. His encounters with killers, torturers, onlookers and victims, traitors and heroes make for gripping reading. 1 Kg.

First US Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 152 pages; Physical desc. : 152 p. ; 19 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 151-152) . Subject: Impostors and imposture --New York (State) --History --19th century. Summary: In 1824, the inhabitants of New York City were just returning from the wilds of Greenwich Village after having fled a yellow fever epidemic that threatened to devastate the population of 150, 000. The recent economic depression forced many of the city's laborers out of work. It was a time of extreme gullibility, a time when newspapers began to realize that sensation sold, truth or lies, giving way to a rash of hoaxes. So when two men of supposed high reputation began a rumor that Manhattan was sinking into the harbor because of overdevelopment on its southern tip, everyone listened closely. The men had been sent, they claimed, to save Manhattan from inevitable doom. Their idea: to saw New York in half, drag it out to sea, turn it around and reattach it to the mainland at Kingsbridge. Far fetched? Not at the time when a river was being forged through the mountains to create the Erie Canal. The wonders of engineering made anything possible. And so begins the story of the greatest hoax ever played on the people of New York City. 1 Kg.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 139) and indexes. Subject: Thun, Matteo --Criticism and interpretation --Architect-designed decorative arts --History --20th century. Summary: Matteo Thun, born in 1952, is renowned as one of the founder of Scottsass Associati and of Memphis. His highly individual path is presented here for the first time in the form of a monograph. Endowed with a quite striking, baroque formal language, he has cultivated in quite unparalleled manner the art of designing "anonymousÂ" mass articles for industry. The combination of fun and seriousness, style and gag, content and façade continually challenge him. Yet his emphasis on the decorative, on surfaces, have made him a decidedly controversial figure. He works for companies such as AEG, Philipps, Martin Stoll, Campari, Swatch and many others in the areas of product and interior design, packaging and communication. Five internationally renowned authors, all authorities on his work, describe Matteo Thun, his person and his working methods. 2 Kg.

Summary: The art of the silversmith is at the cutting edge of modern design. Complex and vital, the work in the field of contemporary silverware combines ancient skills and techniques with the latest innovations in technology to produce objects that both reflect and challenge current aesthetic ideas.Taking as their brief the design of a simple fish server or cake slice, the British and American silversmiths whose work is represented in the more than sixty-strong collection of Benton Seymour Rabinovitch have produced an astonishing range of variations on a single theme. From the minimal simplicity of the purely functional to the lavish ostentation of the truly baroque, these pieces utilize elements of sea life, Scandinavian design, Florida Art Deco, eighteenth-century Rococo and totemic, timeless symbols of the natural world to forceful effect. Whether entirely abstract or startlingly representative, what these pieces have in common is the immense technical mastery that has gone into their design and construction - as well as the fact that, no matter how fantastic their appearance, they are all meant for practical use.Each piece in the collection is lavishly illustrated in colour with a specially commissioned photograph and accompanied by an account of the work's conception. Personal accounts of the artists' guiding aesthetic and technical principles provide a long-needed, unique and authoritative window into current design practice both in Britain and the United States.What keeps silversmithing alive today is the practice of commissioning, by individuals as well as institutions. Commissioning offers the prestige of associating with some of the world's greatest silversmiths, the pleasure of owning something unique and handwrought, and the opportunity of contributing to the survival of the craft - a personal stake in the future.The authors provide a step-by-step guide to commissioning one's own pieces, as well as a design-historical context to the last fifty years of the craft. Designers and makers, curators and collectors, craft writers and historians, as well as anyone interested in the beautiful, will find this volume a fund of information and inspiration. 1 Kg.
