Sinossi

In "Valladolid, Oviedo, Segovia, Zamora, Avila & Zaragoza," Albert Frederick Calvert presents a meticulously detailed exploration of these historically rich Spanish cities. Employing a vivid literary style that merges descriptive prose with insightful analysis, Calvert immerses readers in the architectural splendor and cultural significance of each location. This work not only serves as a travelogue but also as a scholarly examination of Spain's historical evolution, art, and sociology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, effectively contextualizing each city's unique narrative within the broader tapestry of Spanish heritage. Calvert, an English writer and art historian, devoted much of his career to chronicling Spain's artistic legacy, a passion inspired by his travels across the Iberian Peninsula. His deep appreciation for Mediterranean culture and his experiences as a researcher allowed him to perceive and articulate the intricate relationship between the cities' monuments and the people who inhabit them. Through these encounters, Calvert sought to bridge the gap between past and present, capturing not only sights but the spirit of Spanish life. This book is an essential read for historians, travel enthusiasts, and those captivated by the cultural pulse of Spain. Calvert's richly woven narratives and keen observations invite readers to experience the enduring legacy of these cities, making it a valuable addition to any library focused on European travel or historical studies.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Inglourious Basterds, directed by Quentin Tarantino, is a World War II film that blends historical fiction with intense action. It follows two main storylines: one about a group of Jewish-American soldiers, led by Lieutenant Aldo Raine, who aim to instill fear in the Nazi army by killing and scalping German soldiers. The other centers on Shosanna Dreyfus, a young Jewish woman who seeks revenge on the Nazis after they kill her family. Tarantino uses themes of vengeance, justice, and survival, blending intense violence with sharp dialogue and dark humor in a unique and stylized narrative. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Inglourious Basterds marked the first Quentin Tarantino film to win an Oscar for acting, with Christoph Waltz receiving the Best Supporting Actor award. Waltz went on to win another Oscar for his role in Django Unchained (2012).” 
      
    “In a roundtable discussion with Brad Pitt, Tarantino revealed that Til Schweiger, who was born and raised in Germany, had always refused to wear a Nazi uniform for a film. However, Schweiger agreed to do so on the condition that he could kill a Nazi in every scene where he wore one.” 
      
    “Tarantino spent nearly a decade working on the script for Inglourious Basterds.” 
      
    “Colonel Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz, speaks the most languages in the film, including English, French, German, and Italian.”

    Ian Fleming was a true visionary, a dualistic individual who spent much time in his early life in a "special" school in Austria. It was here where he learned the sacred ways of the early Gnostics and Occultists and developed the very root of the enigmatic secret and eternal charisma of James Bond. 
     
    Fleming explicitly said that Bond was Manichean, a distinctly Gnostic concept. The Bond books and films are strategically seeded with alchemical and Gnostic references for those with "the eyes to see". Fleming associated with mystics and initiated individuals around the globe. 
     
    In the Bond Code, we shall see how deep this web of the occult truly went. Fleming lived in a fantasy world that led him into a land of sinister and esoteric thought. He created his own alter-ego as a great alchemical work to fulfill his own tumultuous and chaotic mind, and he left behind a set of clues and codes for us to decipher. 
     
    Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond, piece by piece, radically reappraising everything we thought we knew about this secret agent and his creator. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
