  How a single film trilogy became a global phenomenon that transformed modern Hollywood. 
  Far more than a typical behind-the-scenes chronicle, Kristin Thompson’s landmark study The Frodo Franchise examines how The Lord of the Rings films became a cultural and industrial force that transformed moviemaking, marketing, digital technology, fan culture, and even the international profile of New Zealand. 
  Drawing on extensive interviews with the filmmakers, designers, producers, and craftspeople behind the trilogy, as well as creators of fan websites, employees of companies creating licensed merchandise, owners of New Zealand tour companies, and more, Thompson reveals how Peter Jackson and his collaborators seized a moment of rapid change in the early 2000s. The convergence of digital effects, online fandom, home-video innovation, and blockbuster economics created a perfect environment for a project that was as unprecedented in scale as it was influential. The result was not just three films, but a blueprint for the event-franchise era that followed. 
  Thompson traces how The Lord of the Rings reshaped studio strategy, redefined fantasy filmmaking, altered global tourism, and set new expectations for cross-media storytelling. Written in 2006, her analysis remains strikingly relevant, showing why the trilogy’s impact continues to echo even through today’s entertainment landscape. 
  In honor of the 25th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring, this special audiobook edition features a new epilogue by the author, reflecting on how The Lord of the Rings franchise has continued to expand across films, games, merchandise, and fan culture since the book’s original publication.

  Nadja

  In Paris, during the fall of 1926, André Breton met a young woman from the provinces who called herself Nadja because, she said, "in Russian it's the beginning of the word for hope, and because it's only the beginning." Their love affair was brief, intense, and intensely self-conscious. They both talked exuberantly of the book that Breton would make out of their days and nights. And indeed a year later (after Nadja was institutionalized and Breton had moved on to other love affairs) he began to write Nadja—a book of memory and analysis taking its cue in part from Freud's case studies, but also a book of ingeniously intercut images, drawing on Surrealist ideas to portray a soul whose very way of being approaches, in Breton's words, "the extreme limit of the Surrealist aspiration."In this, the first new translation of Nadja in more than sixty years, Mark Polizzotti captures the youthful excitement, the abiding strangeness, and above all the freshness of Breton's prose. He also provides an illuminating introduction about the fate of the real Nadja, whose identity remained jealously guarded until the twenty-first century. A gripping tale of infatuation and a meditation on the surrealism of everyday life, Nadja is still a thing of convulsive beauty, impossible to pin or put down, a precursor to works of Julien Gracq, Julio Cortázar, and W. G. Sebald.

  The KLF - Chaos Magic and the...

  In the early ’90s, the KLF was the biggest-selling singles band in the world—until they destroyed their records, erased themselves from music history, and literally set fire to one million pounds. 
  In this fascinating and in-depth biography, popular British writer and cultural historian John Higgs digs into the story behind the end of one of the most popular bands of the late twentieth century. The band members themselves, when asked in interviews, were never able to satisfactorily explain their behavior, but looked haunted every time it came up. With his characteristically creative mind, Higgs leads readers on a journey to understand “a story that no one knows they are in—least of all the main characters.” 
  Ranging from music history to chaos theory to Carl Jung and Doctor Who, this brilliant pop biography has been named one of the top ten music books of the year by The Guardian, The Independent, and MOJO magazine. Perfect for music buffs and mystery fans alike, The KLF is an engrossing and entertaining read.
