Stefan Norblin, właśc. Juliusz Stefan Norblin de la Gourdaine (1892–1952), praprawnuk Jeana-Pierre'a Norblina, francuskiego malarza przełomu XVIII i XIX wieku. Ten niezwykle utalentowany i wszechstronny artysta, nazywany malarzem maharadży, w okresie międzywojennym odnosił w Polsce ogromne sukcesy zarówno jako grafik i projektant. Po wybuchu II wojny światowej opuścił ojczyznę i przedostał się do Iraku, gdzie malował portrety rodziny królewskiej. Jednak kariera malarska artysty rozkwitła dopiero w Indiach, przynosząc mu sławę i prestiż. Stworzył tam niezwykłe malowidła w pałacach maharadży i rezydencjach arystokracji. Czerpał motywy z religii hinduskiej, lecz nadawał im nowoczesną formę o bogatych kolorach i z wieloma elementami dekoracyjnymi, łącząc przy tym europejską secesję z indyjskimi tradycjami.
Ever since Henry David Thoreau’s described his two years, two months, and two days of refuge existence at Walden Pond, Massachusetts, in Walden, or, Life in the Woods (1854), the idea of a cabin dwelling has seduced the modern psyche. In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the minimal, low-impact, and isolated abode.
This Bibliotheca Universalis edition of Cabins combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents special opportunities for creative thinking. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-friendly solutions. The cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-looking practices of contemporary architecture, with Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, Tom Kundig, and many fresh young professionals all embracing such distilled sanctuary spaces.
The book showcases the variety of cabins in use and geography. From an artist studio on the Suffolk coast in England to eco-home huts in the Western Ghats region of India, this collection is as exciting in its international reach as it is in its array of briefs, clients, and situations. Constant throughout, however, is architectural innovation, and an inspiring sense of contemplation and coexistence as people return to nature and to a less destructive model of being in the world.
Often imitated but never equaled, Jan van Eyck (c. 1390-1441) left an indelible impression on Renaissance art and paved the way for future realist painters. With its unprecedented precision and masterful use of color, Arnolfini Double Portrait, depicting the wedding of a young couple, is testament to the mastery of the Flemish painter and leader of the Early Netherlandish school. Van Eyck painted both secular and religious subject matter, emphasizing a naturalism and realism that moved seamlessly between 15th-century everyday life and poetic, heavenly settings. Working with oil paint, he innovated the medium, allowing for great intensity and depth of color.
Trace the artist’s impressive oeuvre in this hardcover survey of his work, including altarpieces, religious figures, and commissioned portraits. Featuring enlarged details and close analyses of masterpieces like the Ghent Altarpiece, this publication also offers a chronology of van Eyck’s production, including the output of his workshop which continued even after his death.
After Egon Schiele (1890–1918) freed himself from the shadow of his mentor and role model Gustav Klimt, he had just ten years to inscribe his signature style into the annals of modernity before the Spanish flu claimed his life. Being a child prodigy quite aware of his own genius and a passionate provocateur, this didn’t prove to be too big a challenge.
His haggard, overstretched figures, extreme depiction of sexuality and self-portraits, in which he staged himself with emaciated facial expressions bordering between brilliance and madness, had none of the decorative quality of Klimt’s hymns of love, sexuality and yearning devotion. Instead, Schiele’s work spoke of a brutal honesty, one that would upset and irreversibly change Viennese society.
Although his works were later defamed as “degenerate” and for a time were almost forgotten altogether, they influenced generations of artists—from Günter Brus and Francis Bacon to Tracey Emin. Today, his then misunderstood oeuvre continues to fetch exorbitant prices on the international art market.
This monograph, first published in an XL edition, is now available in a slightly abridged, more compact edition to celebrate TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary and features the paintings and drawings that retrace the fertile last decade of Schiele’s life. These works are accompanied by essays introducing his life and oeuvre, situating the Austrian master in the context of European Expressionism and charting his extraordinary legacy.
It was an age of mighty heroes, misunderstood monsters, and complex villains. With the publication of Fantastic Four No. 1 in November 1961, comics giant Marvel inaugurated a transformative era in pop culture. Through the next two decades, the iconic Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men leapt, darted, and towered through its pages. Captain America was resurrected from his 1940s deep-freeze and the Avengers became the World’s Greatest Super Heroes. Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and dozens more were added to the pantheon, each with their own rogues’ gallery of malevolent counterparts. Nearly 60 years later, these thrilling characters from the 1960s and ’70s are more popular than ever, fighting the good fight in comics, toy aisles, and blockbuster movies around the world.
In The Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978, legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas takes you to the heart of this seminal segment in comic history—an age of triumphant character and narrative innovation that reinvented the super hero genre. With more than 500 images and insider insights, the book traces the birth of champions who were both epic in their powers and grounded in a world that readers recognized as close to their own; relatable heroes with the same problems, struggles, and shortcomings as everyone else. By the ’70s, we see how the House of Ideas also elevated horror, sword and sorcery, and martial arts in its stable of titanic demigods, introducing iconic characters like Man-Thing, Conan, and Shang-Chi and proving that their brand of storytelling could succeed and flourish outside of the capes and tights.
Behind it all, we get to know the extraordinary Marvel architects whose names are almost as familiar as the mortals (and immortals!) they brought to life—Stan “The Man” Lee, Jack “King” Kirby, and Steve Ditko, along with a roster of greats like John Romita, John Buscema, Marie Severin, Jim Steranko, and countless others. The result is a behind-the-scenes treasure trove and a jewel for any comic fan’s library, brimming with the innovation and energy of an invincible era for Marvel and its heroes alike.
The legend of Jean-Michel Basquiat is as strong as ever. Synonymous with 1980s New York, the artist first appeared in the late 1970s under the tag SAMO, spraying caustic comments and fragmented poems on the walls of the city. He appeared as part of a thriving underground scene of visual arts and graffiti, hip hop, post-punk, and DIY filmmaking, which met in a booming art world. As a painter with a strong personal voice, Basquiat soon broke into the established milieu, exhibiting in galleries around the world.
Basquiat’s expressive style was based on raw figures and integrated words and phrases. His work is inspired by a pantheon of luminaries from jazz, boxing, and basketball, with references to arcane history and the politics of street life—so when asked about his subject matter, Basquiat answered “royalty, heroism and the streets.” In 1983 he started collaborating with the most famous of art stars, Andy Warhol, and in 1985 was on the cover of The New York Times Magazine. When Basquiat died at the age of 27, he had become one of the most successful artists of his time.
First published in an XXL edition, this unprecedented insight into Basquiat’s art is now available in a compact, accessible volume in celebration of TASCHEN’s 40th anniversary. With pristine reproductions of his most seminal paintings, drawings, and notebook sketches, it offers vivid proximity to Basquiat’s intricate marks and scribbled words, further illuminated by an introduction to the artist from editor Hans Werner Holzwarth, as well as an essay on his themes and artistic development from curator and art historian Eleanor Nairne. Richly illustrated year-by-year chapter breaks follow the artist’s life and quote from his own statements and contemporary reviews to provide both personal background and historical context.
Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars galaxy as they followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through a galaxy far, far away, meeting extraordinary characters like mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and Chewbacca, loyal droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia Organa and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent Emperor.
Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the modern monomyth of our time, one that resonates with the child in us all. He formed Industrial Light & Magic to develop cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience.
In this first volume, made with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, Lucas narrates his own story, taking us through the making of the original trilogy—Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI Return of the Jedi—and bringing fresh insights into the creation of a unique universe. Complete with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters, this is the authoritative exploration of the original saga as told by its creator.
There is a star to tytuł trzeciej płyty Natalii Moskal. Album zawiera czternaście piosenek znanych m.in. z włoskich powojennych filmów – w nowych aranżacjach Jana Stokłosy.

Utwory zostały zaaranżowane na orkiestrę z wykorzystaniem m.in. akordeonu, wibrafonu i saksofonu. Album, który ukazał się 13 listopada, promowany jest przez słynny utwór Mambo Italiano, który śpiewali Betty Midler, Dean Martin i wielu innych artystów.
Badania nad prasą oficjalnie wydawaną w PRL w ostatnich latach zamarły. Na rynku wydawniczym pojawiały się ledwie jeden-dwa tytuły na ten temat raz na jakiś czas, a gazety czy tygodniki publikowane w tamtym okresie zazwyczaj stanowiły wdzięczny temat do obśmiewania lub ilustrowania innych książek. Nadszedł czas, aby to zmienić i przywrócić właściwe proporcje, gdyż w dobie radia i często raczkującej telewizji to prasa stanowiła główne źródła kształtowania świadomości społeczeństwa okresu PRL. Stanowiła również ogromny oręż władz w walce o rząd dusz Polaków, a skutki tamtego okresu odczuwamy do dziś.
The Mediterranean is surrounded by three continents – Europe, Africa and Asia – and even though the cultures around this sea are highly diverse, they harmoniously share a pleasant climate, distinctive flora and fauna, and not least the intense blue of the water.
Angelika Taschen set out in search of the most beautiful hotels on a great variety of coasts, islands and beaches, taking you on a journey to the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and the ultra-chic Les Roches Rouges on the Côte d’Azur, to the little-known Pardini’s Hermitage on the Italian island of Giglio, which is only accessible by boat or on foot, and to Bodrum in Turkey, where the elegant Amanruya resort lies hidden in one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean. She also presents new hotel concepts, great architecture and creative design – for example the finca Menorca Experimental on the Balearic Islands, the modernist Villa Dubrovnik in Croatia and Dexamenes on the Peloponnese, where new life was breathed into decommissioned wine tanks.
Further highlights are the brand-new, stylishly designed Mezzatorre on Ischia and the Torre di Cala Piccola with its enchanting private beach on the Argentario peninsula in Tuscany, an almost unknown location that possesses the aura of 1960s Italy. Another real gem is La Locanda del Barbablù, with just five rooms in the shadow of the mythical volcano on Stromboli. Look forward to staying at the Nord-Pinus in Tangier with its fantastic view of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the charming Coco-Mat Eco Residences on Serifos, or experiencing the originality of Ammos on Crete, where the art and design are as essential as the sun and the beach!
Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be entered following the final judgment.
When acclaimed photographer Sandro Vannini started his work in Egypt in the late ’90s, a technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous multi-shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic reproductions that revealed colors in their original tones with vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover the objects’ quintessential features alongside the sophisticated and cleverly hidden details.
This comprehensive guide marks the centenary of Carter’s first excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless splendor. From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life, Vannini’s portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian culture—but it is Tutankhamun’s unique legacy that dominates these images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist Mohamed Megahed, and chapter introductions from scholars in the field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworld puts much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists including Salima Ikram and David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title a fitting tribute to the Boy King’s odyssey, illuminating an epoch that spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years.
Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean. A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell.
At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature), which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things, Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures.
In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 300 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme, and Kunstformen der Natur. At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life.
Flower painter Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1759–1840) devoted himself exclusively to capturing the diversity of flowering plants in watercolor paintings which were then published as copper engravings, with careful botanical descriptions. The darling of wealthy Parisian patrons including Napoleon’s wife Josephine, he was dubbed “the Raphael of flowers,” and is regarded to this day as a master of botanical illustration.
This collection brings our best-selling XL-sized edition to a smaller, more convenient format, still gathering some of the finest color engravings from Redouté’s illustrations of Roses, Lilies, and Choix des plus belles fleurs et quelques branches des plus beaux fruits (Selection of the Most Beautiful Blooms and Branches with the Finest Fruits). Offering a vibrant overview of Redouté’s admixture of accuracy and beauty, it is also a privileged glimpse into the magnificent gardens and greenhouses of a bygone Paris.
On November 18, 1928, the world’s most famous Mouse made his very first public debut. Today, we celebrate 90+ years of Mickey in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Starting with the first sketches of a character who was almost named Mortimer, we trace the career of Walt Disney’s and Ub Iwerks’s most famous creation, one met with an explosion of worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of Charlie Chaplin.
With unlimited access to Disney’s vast historical collections as well as public and private collections, the authors bring Mickey’s success story to life: concept art, story sketches, background paintings, and animation drawings as well as historical photographs trace the origins and evolution of such timeless favorites as Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, and Brave Little Tailor. They also follow Mickey as he builds on this legendary library of short cartoons by appearing in two historic feature-length films, Fantasia and Fun and Fancy Free.
Extensive archival research sheds new light on little-known chapters of Mickey’s career, the origins of the Mickey Mouse Club, and his use as a patriotic icon during World War II. Along the way, we encounter the work of all major Mickey artists in both film and comics, including such greats as Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Fred Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson, and César Ferioli.
Mickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture as well as high art, becoming a favored subject for Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Roy Lichtenstein. As Walt Disney once said: “I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing—that it was all started by a mouse.” And an end to the success story is nowhere in sight. Today, 90+ years after his creation, Mickey remains as lovable and popular as ever. Let’s pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse.
One of the most creative minds of the 20th century, Walt Disney created a unique and unrivaled imaginative universe. Like scarcely any other classics of cinema, his astonishing collection of animated cartoons revolutionized storytelling on screen and enchant to this day across geographies and generations.
This expansively illustrated publication on Disney animation gathers hundreds of images as well as essays by Disney experts, taking us to the beating heart of the studio’s “Golden Age of Animation.” We trace Disney’s complete animation journey from the silent film era, through his first full-length feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Fantasia (1940), right up to his last masterpieces Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966) and The Jungle Book (1967).
With extensive research conducted through the historical collections of the Walt Disney Company, as well as private collections, editor Daniel Kothenschulte curates some of the most precious concept paintings and storyboards to reveal just how these animation triumphs came to life. Masterful cel setups provide highly detailed illustrations of famous film scenes while rare pictures taken by Disney photographers bring a privileged insider’s view to the studio’s creative process.
Each of the major animated features that were made during Walt’s lifetime—including Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and One Hundred and One Dalmatians—is given its own focus chapter, without forgetting less-familiar gems such as the experimental short films of the Silly Symphonies series and under-appreciated episodic musical films such as Make Mine Music and Melody Time.
Realizing the Disney style was a collective project and, as much as the master himself, The Walt Disney Film Archives acknowledges the outstanding animators and designers who influenced the style of the studio, among them Albert Hurter, Gustaf Tenggren, Kay Nielsen, Mary Blair, Sylvia Holland, Tyrus Wong, Ken Anderson, Eyvind Earle, and Walt Peregoy.
The life and times of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1526/30–1569) were marked by stark cultural conflict. He witnessed religious wars, the Duke of Alba’s brutal rule as governor of the Netherlands, and the palpable effects of the Inquisition. To this day, the Flemish artist remains shrouded in mystery. We know neither where nor exactly when he was born. But while early scholarship emphasized the vernacular character of his painting and graphic work, modern research has attached greater importance to its humanistic content.
Starting out as a print designer for publisher Hieronymus Cock, Bruegel produced numerous print series that were distributed throughout Europe. These depicted vices and virtues alongside jolly peasant festivals and sweeping landscape panoramas. He then increasingly turned to painting, working for the cultural elite of Antwerp and Brussels. Rather than idealizing reality, he bravely confronted the issues of his day, addressing the horrors of religious warfare and taking a critical stand against the institution of the Church. To this end, Bruegel developed his own pictorial language of dissidence, lacing innocuous everyday scenes with subliminal statements in order to escape repercussions.
This book is derived from our XXL monograph, which saw TASCHEN undertake a comprehensive photographic survey of the artist’s oeuvre. The result boasts exceptional details and reproductions, unveiling Bruegel’s larger-than-life universe with unprecedented clarity. This volume, in celebration of our 40th anniversary, presents all 40 paintings, accompanied by enlarged details and accessible, immersive texts.
Album prezentuje wybrane arcydzieła malarskie ze skarbów zgromadzonych w Muzeach Watykańskich. Jego autor, wybitny historyk sztuki i wieloletni dyrektor Muzeów, jak nikt potrafił dokonać atrakcyjnego wyboru dzieł do prezentacji i zadbać o bogaty komentarz rzeczowy. Proponuje spojrzenie na włoską sztukę przez pryzmat wielkich malarzy, którzy tworzyli jej historię – od Giotta po Francesca Podestiego. Zapoznaje nas z malowidłami na desce i płótnie oraz freskami z Muzeów Watykańskich, dziełami o różnym pochodzeniu i zamówionymi przez różnych zleceniodawców, ale połączonymi kolekcjonerską pasją kolejnych papieży.
Prezentacja zaczyna się od Pinakoteki i przechowywanych w niej skarbów, czyli dzieł Giotta, Fra Angelica, Benozza Gozzolego, Melozza da Forli, Carla Crivellego, Pietra Pierugina, Rafaela, Leonarda, Tycjana, Belliniego, Veronese, Barocciego, Guercina, Reniego, Domenichina i Caravaggia. Następnie odwiedzamy kaplicę Mikołaja V z arcydziełem Fra Angelico, w Apartamencie Borgia oglądamy efekt pracy Pinturicchia, zatrzymujemy się w słynnych Stanzach Rafaela. Na kolejnych stronach trafiamy do Galerii Map Geograficznych, przechodzimy przez Salę Sobieskiego, w której możemy podziwiać ofiarowane przez papieżowi przez Polaków w 1883 roku dzieło Jana Matejki, by skończyć zwiedzanie w Sali Niepokalanego Poczęcia przed dziełem wielkiego portrecisty Francesca Podestiego.
Oprócz ogromnego waloru estetycznego i edukacyjnego album ma także wartość praktyczną i może służyć jako fachowy przewodnik po malarstwie zebranym w Muzeach Watykańskich. Po jego lekturze czytelnik będzie wiedział, przed którymi dziełami warto się na dłużej zatrzymać w czasie zwiedzania, pozna historię powstania poszczególnych malowideł i powody, dla których kolejni papieże chcieli je posiadać w zbiorach.

Anatonio Paolucci (ur. w 1939 r. w Rimini) to włoski historyk sztuki, specjalista w zakresie historii renesansu, minister kultury w latach 1995–1996, dyrektor Muzeów Watykańskich w latach 2007–2017, autor kilkuset artykułów naukowych, a także monografii poświęconych takim twórcom, jak Luca Signorelli czy Marco Palmezzano.
Grę a vista można, a nawet należy ćwiczyć regularnie. To jeden z kluczowych elementów edukacji pianistycznej. Pomoże w tym niniejsza publikacja: zawiera zbiór ćwiczeń opatrzonych komentarzami autorów.Podręcznik przeznaczony jest dla uczniów szkół muzycznych II stopnia.
Maria Anna Potocka – filozof sztuki, dyrektor Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej w Krakowie MOCAK, była założycielką czterech galerii autorskich (1972–2010). Ponadto jako kurator wielu wystaw dysponuje w tej dziedzinie ogromnym doświadczeniem, które zaowocowało książkami: Malarstwo (1995), Rzeźba (2002), Estetyka kontra sztuka (2007), To tylko sztuka (2008), Fotografia (2010), Nowa estetyka (2016), Zofia Posmysz. Szrajberka 7566 (2018), 150 lat malarstwa polskiego (2019). Jest też prozatorką i eseistką: Wypadek polityczny (2010), Skuteczność prawicy (2020).
Niniejszy tom obejmuje poddane znacznym rewizjom i modyfikacjom teksty Malarstwo i Rzeźba. Doświadczenia artystyczne autorki mają źródło w konceptualizmie, analizie mediów i postmodernizmie. Dzieło oglądane z tych perspektyw jest „mądrzejsze” niż dzieło interpretowane według tradycyjnych zasad historii sztuki. Nowe spojrzenie nie rozkoszuje się pięknem kształtu czy smakiem gier kolorystycznych. Podejście postkonceptualne traktuje dzieło jako trop poznawczy. Szuka w nim sensu tamtego czasu i obrazu człowieka, który je stworzył. Ten model interpretacyjny pozwala zrozumieć, jak ważnym narzędziem cywilizacyjnym jest sztuka. Obie książki do pewnego stopnia kierują się chronologią, Malarstwo ma jednak narrację absolutnie swobodną, Rzeźba bardziej ulegle podąża za faktami. Bohaterami są przebieg zdarzeń i narastanie refleksji, nie indywidualni artyści. W obu książkach głównemu tekstowi towarzyszy równoległy wątek komentarzy o charakterze filozoficznym, psychologicznym i kulturoznawczym.
Pierwsza po wielu latach biografia Gustawa Holoubka. Dlaczego teraz? Bo ciągle żyje w naszej pamięci. Bo był i nadal jest kimś więcej niż wspaniałym aktorem. Bo teraz – bardziej niż kiedykolwiek – ważna jest jego niezłomna postawa etyczna.
Zofia Turowska, biografka m.in. Agnieszki Osieckiej, Janusza Majewskiego i Zofii Nasierowskiej, odkrywa nieznane fakty z życia Gustawa Holoubka, analizuje postawy i losy środowiska, a także określone działania Holoubka w kontekście osobistym i politycznym. Zyskała dostęp do rodzinnych dokumentów i archiwum, które nie są dla nikogo dostępne. Porusza wiele ważnych i nieznanych historii i faktów – dotychczas nieomawianych. Gustaw. Opowieść o Holoubku to znaczące sceny z jego życia, to Gustaw na tle historii, we wspomnieniach rodziny, przyjaciół i kolegów, bardziej codzienny niż pomnikowy: mąż, ojciec, dziadek, mądry, uroczy człowiek, zwyczajnie nadzwyczajny przyjaciel, niezwyczajny kibic, kompan do brydża, pokera, niezwykły opowiadacz dykteryjek. Dżentelmen o magnetycznym głosie i uwodzicielskim spojrzeniu. Człowiek mądrego słowa, riposty, dowcipu. Inteligent. Kreował życie, jakiego pragnie. Patrzył do przodu, nie za siebie. To, o czym myślał, pisał, mówił, jest w tej książce najważniejsze i ciągle aktualne. Ma się wrażenie, że Holoubek wcale nie odszedł... Zofia Turowska – absolwentka wydziału dziennikarstwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Autorka sagi rodziny Onyszkiewiczów „Gniazdo”; współautorka kultowego reportażu – dokumentu o wydarzeniach w Stoczni Gdańskiej w 1980 roku, o łódzkiej Szkole Filmowej Filmówka oraz o Zespole Filmowym TOR, biograficznej opowieści Beaty Tyszkiewicz Nie wszystko na sprzedaż, a także biografii Osiecka.
