Sinopsis

For more than a millennium, from its creation in 330 A.D. until its fall in 1453, the Byzantine Empire was a cradle of artistic effervescence that we are only beginning to rediscover. Endowed with the rich heritage of Roman, Eastern and Christian cultures, Byzantine artists developed an architectural and pictorial tradition, marked by symbolism, whose influence extended far beyond the borders of the Empire. Today, Italy, Northern Africa, and the Near East preserve the vestiges of this sophisticated artistic tradition, with all of its mystical and luminous beauty. The magnificence of the palaces, churches, paintings, enamels, ceramics and mosaics from this civilisation guarantees Byzantine art's powerful influence and timelessness.

    Bernini - His Life and His Rome

    Sculptor, architect, painter, playwright, and scenographer, Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598–1680) was the last of the great universal artistic geniuses of early modern Italy, placed by both contemporaries and posterity in the same exalted company as Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo. And his artistic vision remains palpably present today, through the countless statues, fountains, and buildings that transformed Rome into the Baroque theater that continues to enthrall tourists today.It is perhaps not surprising that this artist who defined the Baroque should have a personal life that itself was, well, baroque. As Franco Mormando’s dazzling biography reveals, Bernini was a man driven by many passions, possessed of an explosive temper and a hearty sex drive, and he lived a life as dramatic as any of his creations. Drawing on archival sources, letters, diaries, and—with a suitable skepticism—a hagiographic account written by Bernini’s son (who portrays his father as a paragon of virtue and piety), Mormando leads us through Bernini’s many feuds and love affairs, scandals and sins. He sets Bernini’s raucous life against a vivid backdrop of Baroque Rome, bustling and wealthy, and peopled by churchmen and bureaucrats, popes and politicians, schemes and secrets.The result is a seductively readable biography, stuffed with stories and teeming with life—as wild and unforgettable as Bernini’s art. No one who has been bewitched by the Baroque should miss it.

    Honest, raw and very funny, Selin Sevinç's musings on the art of screenwriting shine light on the illusive craft which plays such a pivotal role in the movie making process. Inbetween recollecting on her efforts to make unique stories in a industry seemingly interested only in identikit movies, Sevinç blends in darkly amusing tales of homelife and motherhood in Oregon, US, and reminisces on her own childhood growing up in Turkey. 
    In the latter chapters, Sevinç shares guidance with the reader on how to make thought-provoking and meaningful screenplays. Here the author demonstrates a deep technical knowledge of the screenwriting craft, showing us how Blake Snyder's famous Beat Sheet formula can be used creatively without sacrificing depth and originality. 
    The saying goes, that art reflects life. As most artists will know, the inner drive to create perfect artistic expression is both a blessing and a curse, and it has never been better articulated than here. In ADVENTURES IN SCREENWRITING, Sevinç will take you on a careering emotional joyride through her creative processes, her pitfalls and breakthroughs, where the boundaries between art and life become blurred.

    Mythology has always been a reflection of human culture, shaping beliefs, traditions, and the way people understand the world. Across Asia, an incredibly diverse range of myths and legends has developed over thousands of years, creating a rich spiritual tapestry that continues to influence daily life. These myths tell stories of powerful deities who govern the heavens, fearsome demons that bring destruction, and legendary heroes whose deeds inspire generations. Whether found in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or Taoist traditions, these stories reveal deep cultural values and offer insights into the forces that ancient civilizations believed controlled their destinies.  
      
    Deities and demons in Asian mythology are not merely figures of worship or fear; they serve as representations of human emotions, natural phenomena, and moral lessons. Many gods and spirits embody forces of nature—thunder, wind, fire, and water—while others symbolize virtues such as wisdom, courage, and compassion. Some deities are benevolent protectors, while others test humanity through trials and temptations. Meanwhile, demons and malevolent spirits serve as cautionary figures, reminding people of the consequences of greed, arrogance, or disobedience to the divine order. These myths have been passed down through oral tradition, sacred texts, and artistic expressions, evolving over time yet retaining their core significance.
