Beschreibung

Antonio Vivaldi's music has mesmerized audiences for three hundred years.
 
A less known story than his musical genius was the impressive figure that he was in Venetian society; the young, red-haired prodigy could make women swoon with the sweeping grandeur of his violin performances - especially after he traded in his priest's robes for the dashing attire of a celebrity.
 
Through the words of his lifelong friend, Domenico Trapensi, Vivaldi's Girls tells the mesmerizing story of Vivaldi's time as a music teacher at Venice's Conservatorio, of those who fell for more than just his violin lessons, and of his romancing of other girls on the road to the Italian cities in his time.

    The Picture of Dorian Gray is an acclaimed novel by Oscar Wilde, first published in 1890. It tells the story of a handsome and wealthy young man, Dorian Gray, who discovers a portrait of himself. After making a wish to stay young and beautiful forever, the painting begins to age instead of him and Dorian must keep it hidden from the world. As he lives a life of pleasure and excess, the painting continues to reveal Dorian's true self and ultimate fate. With its themes of morality, innocence, and self-destruction, The Picture of Dorian Gray remains one of the most important and influential works of literature. 
    Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and wit. He was one of the most prominent figures of the late Victorian era and a leading light of the Aesthetic Movement. Wilde is best known for his plays “The Importance of Being Earnest” and “An Ideal Husband”, as well as his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”. His work was heavily influenced by his Irish background, as well as his love of the theater. His witticisms and epigrams are still widely quoted today. Wilde was also an outspoken critic of Victorian morality, often challenging the conventions of the day. His personal life was also the subject of much controversy and he was imprisoned for two years for “gross indecency”. Wilde’s life and work have inspired generations of writers, artists, and thinkers. He is still regarded as one of the most influential writers in English literature.

    The most hopelessly enslaved consider themselves free.  
    A mysterious, ancient manuscript is found two miles underground in a gold mine. Archaeologists are fascinated, and the story gains the attention of the Vatican.  
    Archaeologist Dr. Manuel Consuleo is intrigued by the artifact, and believes it will divulge information never previously accessible to humans. This other-worldly manuscript will confirm his notions, once he is finally able to examine it, under the watchful eye of the Vatican. 
    However, his conclusions outrage the clergy. Is humanity free, or are we the subjects of invisible overlords? Is control exerted on this earth through the reign of kings, priests and dictators, as shills for the overlords?  
    In this remarkable novel, author Lorin Brandon imagines human existence in a different light; one that establishes our true existence and allows to imagine greater freedoms, instead of complacent control and manipulation. Perhaps this artifact possesses the potential to enable humanity to envision a more liberated, truthful existence.
