Coin & Labyrinth II

Publisher: Baltos lankos, Author: Mantas Adomėnas, Year: 2024, Number of pages: 560 pages, Cover: HARD "I really have to confirm that writing and publishing a book is a long, patient work, and it is impossible to quickly write a rich, well-structured text. So I can reassure you: the second part of the book was not written in a few months, it is being prepared as long and carefully as the first ", says Mantas Adomėnas, presenting the second part of the novel "Moneta Labyrinth", which has been appreciated by many readers. In the novel "Moneta Labyrinth II", the intelligence officer of the Deep Geopolitics Department of the Lithuanian Security Service and his enigmatic colleague Monika continue their labyrinthine journey towards the truth in Teacher Leon's manuscript? Will it be possible to dismantle the network of spies in Lithuanian state institutions, which is represented by the acrostic OCTAVUS? and will you be able to resist him? From Vilnius and Nizhnedvinsk in Northern Russia to Rome, Vienna, Istanbul, Kiev and Eastern Ukraine - in the world of the Great Game of 2018 and 2014. in front of the Russian war against Ukraine, the spiritual wars of good and darkness that started many centuries ago are boiling, as well as the efforts of the enemies to metaphysically subjugate minds and entire territories. to approach him. In the second part of the novel, Mantas Adomēnas passed this test: next to games in the sense of architecture, another historical interlude and attractive semantic exercises, the activities of intelligence workers again come to the fore, and finally, after the openly biblical scene of satanic temptation, the nucleation of a long-ripened drama takes place", - thoughts shares Rasa Drazdauskienė, co-author and translator of the LRT show "Nenushaunami sužetai". According to the author, space becomes very important in the second part, and the list of cities where the action takes place gets even longer. which help to understand who the heroes of the book are, what kind of people they are, where they come from, what shaped them. And without history, that world cannot be created or understood. Meanwhile, the second part of the novel is more geopolitical, and geopolitics is the art of map and space. In this way, new focal points of space appear in the novel. For example, Istanbul and Ukraine are spaces where Western and Eastern concepts of history collide in a military and metaphysical way. And Rome and Vienna become part of the action of the novel, because the geopolitical image of the Great Game that is currently taking place there unfolds, and without those geographical supports it would hardly be possible to draw a mental and conceptual map of the ongoing conflict", M. Adomėnas is convinced. I recommend "Coin Labyrinth" to everyone who haven't read it yet."Rita Miliūtė, journalist"Moneta labirintas" is truly a book-event in Lithuania. Philosophical espionage novel …. There is a lot of authenticity here, the story is addictive, I am eagerly waiting for the second part." Audrius Ožalas, journalist, literary reviewer Mantas Adomėnas (born 1972) studied classical philology at Vilnius University, defended his doctoral thesis in Cambridge; Antiquity researcher, translator, publicist. The intellectual spy novel "Coin Labyrinth II" is the second book of the dilogy (the first is "Coin Labyrinth", "White Bows", 2023).

Openly about the freedom of Lithuania

Author: Česlav Okinčic, Year: 2015 This is a kind of biographical report, which describes not only the political path of his hero, but also tries to tell a popular, sympathetic story about Lithuania, which has been fighting for its independence and identity for about a hundred years. I believe that in the context of today's threats in Europe, the attitude of Okinčica and the Poles and Lithuanians who think like him is particularly valuable (from Witold Beresi's "Final Word"). Valdas Adamkus: Okinčic opened many doors and created opportunities to write new pages of Vilnius-Warsaw relations. Aleksander Kwaśniewski: Okinčic is such a timeless sign of a citizen of the Republic of Both Nations. Prof. Zbigniew Brzeziński: I am convinced that people like Okinčic are persistent attitude not only contributed to the destruction of communism, not only daily forms strong ones positions of independent states, but will also be an example for new generations in the future.

Geniuses, braggarts and murderers. The Old Masters and the secrets of their paintings

Publisher: Laisvės media group, Author: Andrius Tapinas, Year: 2024, Number of pages: 256 pages, Cover: Hardcover The book is intended to be a fun and meaningful time, so sit back and let's go to reveal the secrets of the Renaissance and Baroque! "Geniuses, buffoons and murderers: The Old Masters and the secrets of their paintings" is a 15th-18th century book. an album of the secrets of the most famous artists and their works, in which writer, journalist, publicist Andrius Tapinas analyzes the painting masterpieces of Bellini, Botticelli, Claude, Raphael, Bruegel, Michelangelo, da Vinci, of course, Caravaggio, and other artists. "I am doing something new and very interesting to me . I am not only determined to see all the paintings of the early 17th century Italian genius Caravaggio live, but also to put my impressions into an interactive historical narrative with video segments, analysis of the paintings and even some prose, which may later turn into something bigger", - in the first painting analysis post Andrius Tapinas wrote to his subscribers. And now, less than a year later, that transformation has happened. This book was born from the author's desire to know and understand more. Examining pictures down to the smallest details, taking one picture and releasing it only after wringing it out like a sponge: after learning all its secrets and figuring out the symbols. And that means dozens of different sources: articles, books, discussions, archival documents, translations, subscriptions to various video courses, and finally - studies on Italian Renaissance art at Oxford University. "The paintings of the Old Masters have always attracted me like a magnet. But, like many of you, I would stop at the museum, think it was very nice, and move on. Even on guided tours, I often learned only such rather superficial facts", says the author. The book is easily written, interesting to read and analyzes the selected works of art down to the smallest details. This book does not pretend to be a comprehensive reference. The paintings were chosen subjectively by the author, only following an easy chronological order and not straying from the frames of the Old Masters. "With all due respect to art history professionals and graduated art historians - reading their books is work. And I wanted to provide entertainment. To show not only the paintings and their details, but also to reveal the secrets and intrigues of that period, to insert his own literary sketches, illustrations created by artificial intelligence and various videos from his trips to museums", says A. Tapinas.
