Sinopse

'Colquhoun's unique artistic vision shines through like at no time in recent history' - Art UK
'Colquhoun's time-travelling survey of Cornwall's culture and history brings ghosts and dead landscapes to life all around you' - Stewart Lee
Painter Ithell Colquhoun arrives in Cornwall in the late 1940s, searching for a studio and a refuge from bombed-out London. So begins a profound lifelong relationship with Britain's westernmost county, a land surrounded by sea and steeped in myth, where the ancient Celtic past reaches into the present.
Sacred and beautiful, wild and weird, Colquhoun's Cornwall is a living landscape, where every tree, standing stone and holy well is a palimpsest of folklore - and a place where everyday reality speaks to the world beyond.
Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.
With a new introduction by Edward Parnell, the PEN Ackerley shortlisted author of Ghostland and The Listeners
Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was born in British India and brought up in the United Kingdom. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and started exhibiting her paintings in the 1930s, gaining some renown as one of the few women associated with British Surrealism. She began visiting Cornwall during the Second World War, and eventually moved there, continuing to write, paint, and pursue the study of the occult until her death. As well as The Living Stones: Cornwall, she is the author of The Crying of the Wind: Ireland and the novel Goose of Hermogenes, both forthcoming from Pushkin Press.

    John Gierach is a highly trusted and trustable opinion-maker in fly-fishing. People take what he says to the bank. While most of Gierach's writing is essay-style and reflective, here he gets down to the nitty-gritty: how he ties his favorite flies and why he thinks they work so well for him. There is, thus, an instant reader connection: "Gierach's patterns are good enough for me." 
     
     
     
    Few anglers will skip knowing what a master angler and thinker prefers for his fly box. This title covers a gamut of patterns essential to trout fishing in a variety of circumstances: dry flies, wet flies and nymphs, and streamers. Gierach's legion of fans of his regular magazine column will be highly inclined to buy this title.

    LA LA LAND 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DAMIEN CHAZELLE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    La La Land is a romantic musical drama that follows the story of Mia, an aspiring actress, and Sebastian, a passionate jazz musician, as they meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles. The film explores themes of ambition, love, sacrifice, and the challenges of balancing personal dreams with relationships. Through vibrant musical numbers and stunning cinematography, La La Land celebrates both the beauty and the harsh realities of chasing one’s artistic aspirations. It combines nostalgia for classic Hollywood musicals with a modern, bittersweet take on love and ambition in the entertainment industry. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The audition scene where the casting director interrupts Mia's emotional performance to take a phone call was inspired by one of Ryan Gosling's auditions in real life.” 
      
    “Only 30 dancers were used for the "Another Day of Sun" sequence. Most of the people and cars seen in the background are CGI.” 
      
    “John Legend had to learn how to play the guitar for his role, despite being a classically trained pianist in real life.” 
      
    “Tom Hanks was so impressed by the film that, during a press conference for his film Sully, he recommended it to all reporters.” 
      
    “Filming of La La Land took place in just eight weeks, during the summer of 2015.”
