Craig Ferguson
American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the comedic promised land of Hollywood. Along the way he stumbles through several attempts to make his mark?as a punk rock musician, a construction worker, a bouncer, and, tragically, a modern dancer. To numb the pain of failure, Ferguson found comfort in drugs and alcohol, addictions that eventually led to an aborted suicide attempt. (He forgot to do it when someone offered him a glass of sherry.) But his story has a happy ending: in 1993, the washed-up Ferguson washed up in the United States. Finally sober, Ferguson landed a breakthrough part on the hit sitcom The Drew Carey Show, a success that eventually led to his role as the host of CBS`s The Late Late Show. By far Ferguson`s greatest triumph was his decision to become a U.S. citizen, a milestone he achieved in early 2008, just before his command… [detailed...]

Americana 1925

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description1925. This is collection is the work of hundreds of readers of The American Mercury. With a few exceptions, every collector has confined himself to his own State. In consequence, the selections show a variety that no single collection could have hoped to match. Here are the things that Americans of the vast majority read every day. Here are the ideas that are regularly presented to them. Here are impromptu, unposed portraits of the prophets and sorcerers who lead them. Some may be considered humorous, but those who see only humor in these fantastic paragraphs see only half that is in them. Fundamentally, 9/10ths of them are serious in intent, and they are all presented here for a quite serious purpose. That purpose is to make the enlightened minority of Americans familiar, by documentary evidence, with what is going on in the minds of the masses. [detailed...]

Americanization of the European Economy : A compact survey of American economic influence in Europe since the 1880s

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description One of the main features of the world economy since the late nineteenth century has been the growing dominance of the American economy in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Aspects of this development - e.g. rationalization or the world-wide diffusion of Coca-Cola - have been researched, but largely in isolation. Americanization of the European Economy provides a comprehensive yet compact survey of the growth of American economic influence in Europe since the 1880s. Three distinct but cumulative waves of Americanization are identified. Americanization was (and still is) a complex process of technological, political, and cultural transfer, and this overview explains why and how the USA and the American model of industrial capitalism came to be accepted as the dominant paradigm of political economy in today`s Europe. Americanization of the European Economy summarizes the ongoing discussion by business historians,… [detailed...]

Americans in Paris 1850-1910: The Academy, the Salon, the Studio, and the Artists Colony

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAmericans in Paris 1850?1910 represents the profound French influence?both in style and subject?on American painters following the Civil War. There was a great deal of French art in America, mainly in the hands of urban industrialists and financiers eager to display their wealth. Meanwhile, American artists traveled to France to study under the masters, either at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts or at one of the independent academies or studios. Paris proved immensely appealing as a locale in which artists were supported and valued, cultural life was rich, the surrounding countryside ispiring, and the cost of living relatively low. The landscapes and human figures favored by French painters offered a nostalgic appeal that American artists translated into a national vernacular. Alternating beautiful color plates of some of the most influential artists from America and France?among them, James McNeill Whistler, Kenyon Cox, Mary Cassatt, Camille… [detailed...]

Americans in Paris 1860-1900 (National Gallery Company)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As the center of the art world in the late nineteenth century, Paris was a magnet for American art students and artists. They flocked to the studios of French artists like Jean-LA©on GA©rA?me, William Bouguereau, and others, dreamed of showing their work at the annual Paris Salon, and watched intently as new styles such as Impressionism began to take hold. Hardly an American painter was unaffected by developments in Paris, and even those who chose not to study there wanted their work to be affirmed by French audiences and taste makers. This beautifully illustrated book traces the role of American artists in Paris from the Salon des RefusA©s, in 1863, to the emergence of a uniquely American style of painting at the turn of the century. It includes iconic images by John Singer Sargent, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Mary Cassatt, and Winslow Homer, and by many other artists whose names and work were more widely known then than now. Engaging essays written by notable scholars… [detailed...]

Americans in Paris: A Literary Anthology

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description From the earliest years of the American republic, Paris has provoked an extraordinary American literary response. An almost inevitable destination for writers and thinkers, Paris has been many things to many Americans: a tradition-bound bastion of the old world of Europe, a hotbed of revolutionary ideologies in politics and art, and a space in which to cultivate an openness to life and love thought impossible at home. Including stories, letters, memoirs, and journalism, Americans in Paris distills three centuries of vigorous, glittering, and powerfully emotional writing about the place that Henry James called `the most brilliant city in the world.` American writers came to Paris as statesmen, soldiers, students, tourists, and sometimes they stayed as expatriates. This anthology ranges from the crucial early impressions of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin to the latter-day reflections of writers as varied as James Baldwin, Isadora Duncan, and Jack… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIn less than a year, Lawrence Ferlinghetti won a lifetime achievement award from the Author`s Guild, received the Frost Medal from the Poetry Society of America, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and celebrated the 50th anniversary of his renowned City Lights Bookstore. Now, instead of resting on these many laurels, the elder statesman of American poetry `lights out for the territories` with Book I of his own born-in-the-USA narrative, Americus . Describing his work as `part documentary, part public pillow-talk, part personal epic….a descant, a canto unsung, a banal history, a true fiction, lyric and political…,` Ferlinghetti merges `certain universal texts, snatches of song, words or phrases, murmuring of love or hate, from Lotte Lenya to the latest soul singer, sayings and shibboleths from Yogi Berra to the National Anthem and the Gettysburg Address or the Ginsberg Address, that haunt our nocturnal imagination….` This… [detailed...]

Franz Kafka
Amerika: The Man Who Disappeared

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Michael Hofmann`s superb new translation of Franz Kafka`s epic work. Franz Kafka`s Amerika (The Man Who Disappeared) at last has the translator it deserves. Michael Hofmann`s startlingly visceral and immediate translation revives Kafka`s great comedy, and captures a new Kafka, free from Prague and loose in the new world, a Kafka shot through with light in this highly charged and enormously nuanced translation. Kafka began the first of his three novels in 1911, but like the others, Amerika remained unfinished, and perhaps, as Klaus Mann suggested, `necessarily endless.` Karl Rossman, the youthful hero of the novel, `a poor boy of seventeen,` has been banished by his parents to America, following a scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into adventure after misadventure, and experiences multiply as he makes his way into the heart of the country, to The Great Nature Theater of Oklahoma. In creating this new translation, Hofmann, as he… [detailed...]

Warwick Lister
Amico: The Life of Giovanni Battista Viotti

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Giovanni Battista Viotti was unquestionably the most influential violinist of his time, and his style continues to pervade to the present day. The last great representative of the Italian tradition that Corelli began, Viotti is often considered the founder of the modern or 19th-century French school of violin playing. In Amico: The Life of Giovanni Battista Viotti, author Warwick Lister provides the first complete biography in English of this continuously significant violinist. Much of the documentary material Lister cites is previously unknown or not translated. Lister`s biography takes the reader on a fascinating journey over the European continent and into the musical culture of the late 18th century. Born one year prior to Mozart and dying three years before Beethoven`s death, Viotti rose from the humble origins of a blacksmith`s son in a village near Turin, Italy, to international fame. His multifarious career as a concert performer, composer, teacher, opera theater director, and… [detailed...]

In less than twenty years of active political life, Cabral led Guinea-Bissau?s nationalists to the most complete political and military success ever achieved by an African political movement against a colonial power. At the time of his death in 1973, months before Guinea-Bissau became independent, his influence extended well beyond the Lusophone world and Africa. Friends and foes alike admired his political acumen and skills and saw in him a potential leader of a non-aligned movement. His writings have shown him to be a sophisticated analyst of the social, economic, and political factors which have affected and continue to affect the developing world.
