The Legendary Mizners

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The real-life adventures of Addison and Wilson Mizner, the subjects of a new Stephen Sondheim musical Gold! Alva Johnston`s joint biography of Addison and Wilson Mizner is a delightful portrait of two of the early twentieth century`s most clever and infamous rascals. Born in the 1870s in California, the brothers quickly rose to prominence during the various booms of the 1920s. Addison, the elder, was a self-made architect and real-estate dealer who designed many of the fantastic homes of the fantastically rich in Palm Beach. He could `age` a house and its furnishings to any period his client desired--and would pay for. Wilson`s adventures were even more daring and varied, and his quick wit was legendary. In addition to getting rich on the Alaskan gold rush, he had careers as a singer, playwright, prizefight promoter, con man, real-estate salesman, and shady hotel owner. Perhaps his most famous quip was one he delivered on being told… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionEvery even the animals gather in a clearing in the forest to tell stories -- fairy tales, myths and legends, fantasies filled with magic and wonder. One evening as Hedgehog heads for the gathering, he sees something extraordinary -- a unicorn drinking from the stream! He is astonished. But when he tells the other animals about it, they assure him that he is mistaken. `The unicorn is just a legend,` they say, `a myth. In reality there are no unicorns.` Soon, Hedgehog himself no longer believes his own eyes. Suddenly, there is something very wrong in the forest. The birds no longer sing, the babbling stream is silent, all seems dim and dull. And when the animals meet to share stories, they discover that they have forgotten them all. Luminous, lovely paintings illustrated this enchanted tale about the power of belief and the wonder of the legendary unicorn. [detailed...]

The Legion Companion

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comIt may not be exactly what you`d expect from the title, but Legion Companion offers plenty of information for fans of the 30th century`s greatest super group. It`s a collection of dozens of interviews with virtually every creative talent that worked on the Legion of Super-Heroes, including Jim Shooter, Curt Swan, Paul Levitz, Jim Starlin, Jimmy Janes, Keith Giffen, and Steve Lightle. Some of the interviews (and Shooter`s `How I Spent My Summer Vacation` intro) appeared in the 1980s-vintage fanzine The Legion Outpost , but most were conducted in 2003, and the book is generously illustrated in black and white with both original comic panels and rare items from the subjects` personal collections. Legion Companion , however, is not a convenient reference guide to Legion lore, so you`re out of luck if you`re looking for a quick explanation of the story of Ferro Lad or the significance of the Legion Reboot. That`s not to say that whatever info you want… [detailed...]

Rendered with impressive virtuosity and in minute detail, the works of Gerrit Dou, Frans van Mieris, Godfried Schalcken and Gabriel Metsu fetched exorbitant prices, no distinguished collection could afford to be without one.

Arguing that each type of supplier (commercial, voluntary and public) has special capacities, the text explores the distinctive character and qualities of the main types of leisure, from the `big three` of tourism, the media and hospitality, to activities such as shopping, sport, gambling and `events.` Case studies, quotes, empirical data and boxed discussion of key theories all help to structure this text and give it a reader-friendly feel.

The Lemming Disaster: An Incredible Story of Revenge

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMeet George Blake, the author of The Lemming Disaster. As the author of five popular non-fiction books, George has now decided to switch over to the fiction side of writing with this, his first novel. Of course, he didn?t want to write just any fictional story. He particularly wanted his first novel to be the most unusual, most creative, and most bizarre story that his fertile mind could conjure. The Lemming Disaster meets and exceeds this criteria. It is the story of a seeminglynormal family that is torn apart by the acts of revenge planned in some of the strangest, most devastating ways possible by their gifted teenage son. Set in the wilds of Alaska, the social isolation of one young boy sets the stage for terrifying events that change the fate of thousands of his fellow townspeople. To learn the full extent of Jason?s devious schemes, you will have to read The Leming Disaster yourself and experience the shocking events of this powerful narrative. [detailed...]

The Leopard (Everyman`s Library (Cloth))

1991 y.
Publisher: Everyman`s Library
Description: The Leopard is set in Sicily in 1860, as Italian unification is coming violently into being, but it transcends the historical-novel classification. E.M. Forster called it, instead, `a novel which happens to take place in history.` Lampedusa`s Sicily is a land where each social gesture is freighted with nuance, threat, and nostalgia, and his skeptical protagonist, Don Fabrizio, is uniquely placed to witness all and alter absolutely nothing. Like his creator, the prince is an aristocrat and an astronomer, a man `watching the ruin of his own class and his own inheritance without ever making, still less wanting to make, any move toward saving it.` Far better to take refuge in the night skies. What renders The Leopard so beautiful, and so despairing, is Lampedusa`s grasp of human frailty and his vision of Sicily`s arid terrain--`comfortless and irrational, with no lines that the mind could grasp, conceived apparently in a delirious moment of creation, a sea suddenly petrified at the… [detailed...]

Abelard was a well-respected, 12th-century Parisian scholar and teacher, and Heloise was his talented young student. The two relate their story through a set of letters to one another and intimate acquaintances. Their ardor is unmistakable, as Abelard writes to his love, `So intense were the fires of lust which bound me to you that I set those wretched, obscene pleasures, which we blush even to name, above God as above myself…` This forbidden lust resulted in a pregnancy and secret marriage, and when their union could no longer withstand the challenges inits path, each lover sought refuge in the church--Abelard became a monk and Heloise an abbess. Their correspondence continued as both achieved success in their new careers but continued to struggle with their feelings for one another,… [detailed...]
