Da Chen
Brothers: A Novel

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: At the height of China’s Cultural Revolution a powerful general fathered two sons. Tan was born to the general’s wife and into a life of comfort and luxury. His half brother, Shento, was born to the general’s mistress, who threw herself off a cliff in the mountains of Balan only moments after delivering her child. Growing up, each remained ignorant of the other’s existence. In Beijing, Tan enjoyed the best schools, the finest clothes, and the prettiest girls. Shento was raised on the mountainside by an old healer and his wife until their deaths landed him in an orphanage, where he was always hungry, alone, and frightened. Though on divergent roads, each brother is driven by a passionate desire—one to glorify his father, the other to seek revenge against him. Separated by distance and opportunity, Tan and Shento follow the paths that lie before them, while unknowingly falling in love with the same woman and moving toward the explosive moment when… [detailed...]

Yu Hua
Brothers: A Novel

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A bestseller in China, recently short-listed for the Man Asian Literary Prize, and a winner of France’s Prix Courrier International, Brothers is an epic and wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok.Here is China as we’ve never seen it, in a sweeping, Rabelaisian panorama of forty years of rough-and-rumble Chinese history that has already scandalized millions of readers in the author’s homeland. Yu Hua, award-winning author of To Live, gives us a surreal tale of two brothers riding the dizzying roller coaster of life in a newly capitalist world. As comically mismatched teenagers, Baldy Li, a sex-obsessed ne’er-do-well, and Song Gang, his bookish, sensitive stepbrother, vow that they will always be brothers--a bond they will struggle to maintain over the years as they weather the ups and downs of rivalry in love and making and losing millions in the new China. Their tribulations play out across a richly populated backdrop that is every bit as vibrant: the… [detailed...]

Brown Eyed Handsome Man: The Life And Hard Times Of Chuck Berry

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBrown Eyed Handsome Man: The Life and Hard Times of Chuck Berry draws on dozens of interviews done by the author himself and voluminous public records to paint a complete picture of this complicated figure. Berry`s own Autobiography published in 1986 covers up as much as it reveals, and Berry himself has rarely been forthcoming in either documentary or print interviews. This biography uncovers the real Berry and provides us with a stirring, unvarnished portrait of both the man and the artist. Berry has long been one of pop music`s most enigmatic personalities. Growing up in a middle-class, black neighborhood in St. Louis, his first major hit song, `Maybellene,` was an adaptation of a white country song, wedded to a black-influenced beat. Thereafter came a string of brilliant songs celebrating teenage life in the `50s, including `School Day,` `Johnny B. Goode,` and `Sweet Little Sixteen.` Berry`s career rise was meteoric, but his fall came equally quickly, when his… [detailed...]

Frederick Luis Aldama
Brown on Brown : Chicano/a Representations of Gender, Sexuality, and Ethnicity

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCommon conceptions permeating U.S. ethnic queer theory tend to confuse aesthetics with real-world acts and politics. Often Chicano/a representations of gay and lesbian experiences in literature and film are analyzed simply as propaganda. The cognitive, emotional, and narrational ingredients (that is, the subject matter and the formal traits) of those representations are frequently reduced to a priori agendas that emphasize a politics of difference. In this book, Frederick Luis Aldama follows an entirely different approach. He investigates the ways in which race and gay/lesbian sexuality intersect and operate in Chicano/a literature and film while taking into full account their imaginative nature and therefore the specific kind of work invested in them. Also, Aldama frames his analyses within today`s larger (globalized) context of postcolonial literary and filmic canons that seek to normalize heterosexual identity and experience. Throughout the book, Aldama applies his… [detailed...]

Brownfield Sites : Assessment, Rehabilitation and Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: An interdisciplinary approach is essential for the successful regeneration of brownfield sites. Such development embraces a wide range of issues including cleanup and economic redevelopment, legislation and the prominent roles of ownership and investment, the latter points being complicated by varying international approaches. Strong community participation is also involved. The ecological advantages may be obvious to all, but the benefits of reintegration of land into the economic cycle of the community need to be promoted strongly to take effect, as do the economic and social dimensions for the reinvigoration of cities. This book features papers presented at Brownfields 2002, the First International Conference on Assessment, Rehabilitation and Development of Brownfield Sites. Over 50 contributions on a broad range of engineering, science and land issues relating to brownfields are included. These are divided under the following headings: Case Studies, Community and… [detailed...]

Bruce Davidson: England/scotland 1960

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1960, after spending an intense year photographing a notorious Brooklyn street gang called The Jokers, Bruce Davidson decided that he needed to get away from the tension, depression, and potential violence connected to that work. He took on a commission to photograph Marilyn Monroe during the making of John Houston`s film The Misfits in the Nevada desert, and then traveled to London on a commission for The Queen magazine. Edited by Jocelyn Stevens, The Queen was a magazine devoted to British lifestyle and Davidson was charged, with no specific agenda, to spend a couple of months touring England and Scotland to build a photographic portrait of the two countries. England/Scotland 1960 offers a visionary insight into the very heart of English and Scottish cultures. Reflecting a postwar era in which the revolutions of the 1960s had hardly yet filtered into the mainstream, Davidson`s photographs reveal countries driven by difference--the extremes of city and… [detailed...]

Bruce Lee (Pocket Essential series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Way ahead of his time in terms of his physical training, Bruce Lee went against the grain of traditional martial arts to develop his own unique martial art, Jeet Kune Do. However, his art was much more than a physical fighting art, it was a philosophical way of life. Aside from being a world class martial artist, Bruce Lee was also a gifted filmmaker and accomplished actor, appearing in over a dozen Hong Kong dramas before the age of 13. This guide gives an account of each phase of his career. In 1966 at the age of 25 he appeared in the American-produced Green Hornet television series, which was to be the start of a newly revived acting career, one that would escalate him to international stardom. When his final film Enter The Dragon was completed, Bruce Lee was one of the highest paid actors in the world. Sadly, he died in 1973 before he could reach the pinnacle of his career. This guide thoroughly explores Bruce Lee`s films and explores some of the myths that surround them. [detailed...]
