Les Goolrick étaient des princes. Et tout le monde voulait leur ressembler. C'étaient les années 50, les femmes se faisaient des coiffures sophistiquées, elles portaient des robes de taffetas ou de soie, des gants et des chapeaux, et elles avaient de l'esprit. Les hommes préparaient des cocktails, des Gimlet, des Manhattan, des Gibson, des Singapore Sling, c'était la seule chose qu'ils prenaient au sérieux. Dans cette petite ville de Virginie, on avait vraiment de la classe, d'ailleurs on trouvait son style en lisant le New Yorker.

The problem is that nobody pictures a beastly memoir about Malibu. Everyone wants to live in Malibu, but I found that people often wouldn’t stay there for long. Friends would suddenly leave without a goodbye, and it was as if the wind had blown them away. Sometimes, the ocean gales were almost strong enough to sweep people off their feet. High costs of living and eccentric movie personalities added to the sense of instability.

Following Once Were Warriors, Alan Duff wrote Maori: The Crisis and the Challenge. His controversial comments shook the country. A quarter of a century later, New Zealand and Maoridom are in a very different place. And so is Alan - he has published many more books, had two films made of his works, founded the Duffy Books in Homes literacy programme and endured 'some less inspiring moments, including bankruptcy'.

In this remarkable autobiography, Joshua Holmes paints a stellar picture. He recounts a life of trial, accomplishment, survival, and blessing. Introspective, informative, fast-paced, and filled with irony, Painting the Whole Picture is a harrowing tale you won’t want to put down.

Virtually everyone would agree that Leonardo da Vinci was the most important artist of the High Renaissance. It was Leonardo who singlehandedly created the defining features of Western art: a realism based on subtle shading; depth using atmospheric effects; and dramatic contrasts between light and dark.

Fra il 24 e il marzo 1925, momento della sua morte, Steiner scrisse una serie di lettere pubblicate settimanalmente nel notiziario della Società Antroposofica Universale. Nelle lettere viene in particolare trattato il ruolo dell'Arcangelo Michele in questo periodo dell'evoluzione.

Victor von Bülow (alias LORIOT) und Gregor von Rezzori - bei allen Unterschieden in Herkunft und Lebenslauf erweisen sich diese zwei Großmeister des Humors als verwandte Geister: beide arbeiteten erfolgreich als Zeichner, Schauspieler und Autoren; ihre Werke besitzen feinsinnige Komik und geschliffene Eloquenz. Sprachliche Eleganz gilt geradezu als ihr Markenzeichen. Dies zeigt sich auch wieder in den Gesprächen, die Hellmuth Karasek in der Fernsehsendung SPIEGEL TV Thema in den 90er Jahren mit ihnen führte. Ein großartiges Dokument!

In this engaging, cradle-to-grave biography, award-winning author Todd James Pierce explores the life of Ward Kimball, a lead Disney animator who worked on characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Jiminy Cricket, and the Mad Hatter. Through unpublished excerpts from Kimball's personal writing, material from unpublished interviews, and new information based on interviews conducted by the author, Pierce defines the life of perhaps the most influential animator of the 20th century.

Unlike most artists, Van Gogh developed very slowly, beginning with work as an art dealer that exposed him to many great works. He undertook this work for several years, after which he spent time as a missionary for the Dutch Reformed Church. Thereafter, he drifted for several years before returning home to his parents’ house, where he took up painting, largely self-taught with books on anatomy and painting. His great works all date from the later years of his life.

Am 28. Februar 1986 wird der schwedische Premierminister Olof Palme in Stockholm auf offener Straße erschossen. Der künftige Autor der "Millennium-Trilogie", Stieg Larsson, zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch Illustrator bei der antifaschistischen Zeitung Expo, beginnt intensive Recherchen zu dem Attentat aufzunehmen, das bis heute unaufgeklärt ist. Seine Ermittlungen setzt er über Jahre hinweg fort - bis zu seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 2004. Erst 2014 stößt der Journalist und Dokumentarfilmer Jan Stocklassa auf das persönliche Archiv von Larsson.

È l'alba del XVI secolo. L'Italia è divisa in una miriade di regni litigiosi e incapaci di opporsi alle mire delle grandi potenze. Tra quelle corti soggette ai capricci della guerra si aggira un personaggio bizzarro e affascinante, che sembra uscito dalla penna di uno scrittore. È un pittore e scultore che come nessun altro riesce a catturare l'anima di ciò che raffigura. È un inventore in grado di concepire monumenti di prodigiosa bellezza, architetture così ardite da superare ogni immaginazione, macchine belliche che sembrano provenire da un futuro lontano.

From Life tells the story of the greatest portrait photographer of the Victorian age, Julia Margaret Cameron. Born in Calcutta in 1815, she married and settled down to the life of a typical Victorian colonial matron; but, beneath this conventional exterior, she was increasingly interested in photography. After moving to England, Cameron acquired her first camera in 1863, ultimately emerging as the leading portrait photographer of the Victorian art world.

Scienziato visionario, pittore eccelso, uomo eccentrico e ambizioso: Leonardo ebbe molte vite. A raccontarle, uno dei più riconosciuti esperti internazionali dell'arte del Rinascimento.

Delle 820 lettere scritte da Van Gogh nell'arco della sua breve esistenza ben 651 sono indirizzate al fratello Theo: il primo a comprenderne il talento e a incoraggiarne la vocazione, e il solo che non gli negò mai l'indispensabile sostegno morale e finanziario. Pochi artisti hanno rivelato così tanto di sé stessi nei propri scritti.

Chris Rush was born into a prosperous, fiercely Roman Catholic New Jersey family. But underneath the gleaming mid-century house, the flawless hostess mom, and the thriving businessman dad ran an unspoken tension that, amid the upheaval of the late 1960s, was destined to fracture their precarious facade. His older sister, Donna, introduces him to the charismatic Valentine, who places a tab of acid on 12-year-old Rush’s tongue, proclaiming: “This is sacrament. You are one of us now.”

En este audiolibro, escritas desde una memoria lúcida, aparecen anécdotas de artistas reconocidos, políticos como los Kennedy y los presidentes que ha tenido el Perú, su amistad con Mario Vargas Llosa o su matrimonio con la poeta Blanca Varela. En tono íntimo, habla también de sus ambiciones, fracasos, penas y amores. Son estas unas memorias llenas de vida, el autorretrato de un triunfador contra todo pronóstico, las palabras de un hombre libre.

"Ich bin durchsättigt vom Saargebiet und kenne es wie Wien. Sie werden sehen" - so kündigte Joseph Roth 1927 in einem Brief an den Feuilleton-Chef der "Frankfurter Zeitung" seine ersten Saar-Reportagen an. Ausgehend von einem Besuch im angrenzenden Lothringen - ein Zankapfel zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich - schuf Roth sieben pointierte Momentaufnahmen vom politischen, sozialen und kulturellen Alltag im Saarland. Joseph Roth war ein treffsicherer Beobachter, seine Texte - kongenial gelesen von Bernt Hahn - bestechen bis heute durch ihre Brillanz und Klarheit.
