Sinossi

First Animated Films explores the fascinating origins of animation, revealing how simple drawings and clever inventions sparked a revolution in entertainment. Long before CGI, pioneers experimented with pre-cinema techniques and optical toys like the zoetrope to create the illusion of movement. These early efforts weren't just technological advancements; they were artistic explorations that laid the groundwork for modern visual storytelling.

 
The book shines a light on figures like Émile Reynaud and Winsor McCay, detailing their innovations and impact on film history. The book argues that early animation's development was a complex mix of independent inventions and artistic experimentation. By analyzing original patents, archival footage, and period publications, the author demonstrates how these formative techniques still influence animation today.

 
First Animated Films begins with pre-cinematic devices, transitions to key figures in animation, and concludes with an analysis of pioneering films. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of animation's genesis, making it an invaluable resource for film students, animation enthusiasts and anyone seeking to appreciate the roots of this powerful medium.

    How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

    The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.

    Nancy Shear was only fifteen when she began sneaking into Philadelphia Orchestra concerts through the stage door, and seventeen when she was hired as a member of the orchestra's library staff to help prepare the music; one year later, she became Leopold Stokowski's musical assistant. Being young and female, she was a pioneer in both positions. 
 
 
 
I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms takes listeners into the homes, studios, and minds of legendary artists with whom Shear shared close personal relationships, including Stokowski, Mstislav Rostropovich, Eugene Ormandy, and others with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Many of these brilliant and talented artists were also outrageous, egocentric, and tyrannical. Throughout this book, Shear topples more than a few revered musicians from their podiums and their pedestals. 
 
 
 
A literary welcome mat to the beautiful world of classical music, this memoir is accessible and engaging for all. It brings listeners into rehearsals and concert halls, revealing the choices musicians must consider, and what conductors, players, and composers really do. A heartwarming story about passion, determination, and survival, I Knew a Man Who Knew Brahms explores music at its core. You will never listen to music the same way again, after hearing Nancy Shear's story.
