    21 Lessons for the 21st Century
    • **THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER** In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment. '21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book' Adam Kay How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children? Yuval Noah Harari takes us on a thrilling journey through today's most urgent issues. The golden thread running through his exhilarating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of constant and disorienting change. Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created? 'Fascinating... compelling... Harari has teed up a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the 21st century' Bill Gates, New York Times 'Truly mind-expanding... Ultra-topical' Guardian

      Les triomphes de la Renaissance italienne sont si éclatants qu'ils ont eu tendance à reléguer dans l'ombre des pans entiers de l'art européen au XVe siècle. Dans cette synthèse sans équivalent, Jan Bialostocki, historien de l'art de renommée mondiale, corrige cette perspective et présente un tableau de toute l'activité artistique dans l'ensemble de l'Europe, de l'Espagne à la Russie, de l'Angleterre à la Bohême. Sans jamais diluer dans de vagues généralisations la personnalité de génies tels que Sluter, Fouquet, Van Eyck ou Schongauer, il caractérise les styles et les nouveaux types iconographiques en les reliant constamment aux bouleversements politiques et religieux de ce siècle qu'on a pu surnommer « l'automne du Moyen Âge ».
