Sinopsis

At the beginning of the XXth century, there was an unprecedented explosion of creativity in all artistic fields. Overwhelming both Europe and North America, the Russian Ballet revolutionized theatrical design with their stage sets and their costumes that were ablaze with colour yet refind in effect, bearing much of the mystic of the Orient yet also visually influenced by the work of the Persian miniaturists. Together with Diaghilev, Léon Bakst showed himself to be the most talented of the theatre group designers of his time. The costumes he devised with exclusive art seemed to shimmer with a thousand colours. Dazzled by such powers of imagination, the author, Jean Cocteau, dedicated his book "Bonjour Monsieur Bakst" to him. The great contemporary composers Tchaïkovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Stravinsky, among others, all had occasion to call upon his creative genius. Today, his designs remain very popular and may still be seen on stage scenes all over the world, admired by a public that remains as enthusiastic as ever.

    Damn good coffee, cherry pie, and the “big bang of auteur television” ― why Twin Peaks deserves to be a pop culture classic In 1990, avant garde filmmaker David Lynch (Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet) and acclaimed television writer Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) teamed up to create a television show that would redefine what the medium could achieve in a one-hour drama. With Twin Peaks, the duo entranced audiences with the seemingly idyllic town, its quirky characters, and a central mystery ― who killed Laura Palmer? In a town like Twin Peaks, nothing is as it seems, and in Wrapped in Plastic, pop culture writer Andy Burns uncovers and explores the groundbreaking stylistic and storytelling methods that have made the series one of the most influential and enduring shows of the past 25 years.

    The Song Dynasty (960–1279) emerged from a period of political fragmentation and military strife known as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (907–960). Following the collapse of the Tang Dynasty in 907, China was divided among competing warlords and regional states, each vying for power. The unification of China under the Song Dynasty marked the beginning of a new era of stability, economic prosperity, and cultural flourishing. 
    The dynasty was founded by Emperor Taizu (Zhao Kuangyin), a capable military general who seized power in 960 through a relatively peaceful coup known as the Chenqiao Mutiny. As the commander of the Later Zhou army, Taizu was persuaded by his loyal officers to take the throne and establish a new dynasty. Unlike previous rulers who relied on military force to maintain control, Taizu implemented policies aimed at reducing the power of the military aristocracy while strengthening the centralized government. One of his first major reforms was ensuring that top military commanders were replaced by civilian officials, significantly reducing the likelihood of future military coups. 
    Although the early Song rulers sought to consolidate power within China, they faced constant threats from neighboring states. The Khitan-led Liao Dynasty controlled much of the northern frontier, while the Western Xia and later the Jurchen-led Jin Dynasty posed additional challenges. The Song, unable to achieve military dominance over these rival states, often resorted to diplomacy, alliances, and even paying tribute in exchange for peace. This reliance on diplomacy over warfare became a defining characteristic of Song foreign policy.
