  Bold Ventures - Thirteen Tales...

  Charlotte Van den Broeck

  A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
   
   
   
  In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
   
   
   
  Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.

  RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Raiders of the Lost Ark is an action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by George Lucas. Set in 1936, it follows Indiana Jones, a daring archaeologist, as he races against Nazi forces to find the Ark of the Covenant, a biblical relic believed to possess immense power. Along the way, Jones faces treacherous enemies, dangerous traps, and a complicated relationship with his former lover, Marion Ravenwood. The film blends thrilling action, suspense, and historical mythology, paying homage to classic adventure serials while exploring themes of courage, greed, and the quest for power. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Harrison Ford ad-libbed the line "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage" to Marion on the ship.” 
    
  “The "body blow" sounds were made by striking a pile of leather jackets with a baseball bat.” 
    
  “Alfred Molina had his first credited role in this film, where he had to endure being covered in tarantulas.” 
    
  “During filming in Tunisia, almost everyone on set fell ill, except for Steven Spielberg. He avoided sickness by only eating cans of Spaghetti-O's that he brought himself.” 
    
  “A python bit first assistant director David Tomblin during the "Well of Souls" scene, and it wouldn’t let go until someone grabbed its tail and snapped it, making the snake release its bite.”
