Sinopse

Marcello Di Fellini Illuminates the Origins of a Cinematic Icon
 
April 2025 – Amfitheatron Publishing — What shaped the dreamworld of Federico Fellini? In Marcello Di Fellini, author Lea Celik Sommerseth Shaw draws back the curtain on the early life of the man who would become a legend of surrealist cinema. With lush prose and poetic insight, the book traces Fellini’s humble beginnings in Rimini to his formative years as an artist and storyteller, long before his name lit up the silver screen.
 
“Federico Fellini, a name synonymous with cinematic surrealism and dreamlike narratives, emerged from a relatively modest background in Rimini, Italy… His childhood experiences, filled with the sights and sounds of a small Italian town, the fantastical tales spun by his grandmother, and the anxieties of a rapidly changing world, would become the fertile ground from which his unique cinematic vision would blossom.”
 
Through a vivid, literary lens, Lea explores Fellini’s transformation from a curious boy sketching caricatures to an emerging voice within the Neorealist movement, working alongside Roberto Rossellini. The book is both a tribute and a journey: part biography, part origin myth, wholly unforgettable.
 
Marcello Di Fellini is available this spring through Amfitheatron. More information and early access can be found at www.amfitheatron.com.

The Hitler Bloodline -...

David Gardner

The astounding story of the quest to find the living descendants of the most monstrous tyrant in history - Adolf HitlerAdolf Hitler was one of six children born to his mother, and one of eight born to his father from two of his three marriages. Alois Hitler, né Schicklgruber, was an official of the Austrian customs service, and the combination of an imperial uniform and a severe drinking habit seems to have ensured that Hitler's father was a drunken bully given to beating his children if they were not instantly obedient.Alois had two children, Alois junior and Angela, by his second wife, and six by his third, Hitler's mother Clara, of whom four, all boys, died at birth or in infancy. Young Adolf was therefore left with a half-brother, Alois, and half-sister, Angela, and a full sister, Paula, who died in 1960. When Hitler killed himself in April 1945, all his siblings were still living and some had children of their own. So, what happened to them?The answer is that no one was really certain until David Gardner published this book in 2001, having patiently and steadfastly tracked down Hitler's living relations to the USA, and made contact with some of them. Now revised and updated, this is a fascinating study of a little-known side of Hitler's history, as well as a riveting account of how the author traced and contacted the survivors of a bloodline that most of the world probably hoped had become extinct.

Music Lyrics and Life - A Field...

Mike Errico

Music, Lyrics, and Life is the songwriting class you always wish you'd taken, taught by the professor you always wish you'd had. It's a deep dive into the heart of questions asked by songwriters of all levels, from how to begin journaling to when you know that a song is finished. With humor and empathy, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. 
 
 
 
Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today's biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it's within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that Music, Lyrics, and Life ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going.

Army of Lovers - A Community...

Sarah Liss

Will was pretty much the perfect role model.' - Beth Ditto, The Gossip
  
   
  
  
   
  In the spring of 2010, Toronto lost one of its most important queer civic heroes when local artist, DJ, activist, impresario, promoter, party-thrower, cafÃ© operator, community-builder and lover Will Munro died of brain cancer at the unfathomably young age of 35. Famed for his subversive, irreverent visual art, which co-opted rock 'n' roll imagery and raunchy gay iconography, and his legendary Vazaleen dance parties, which singlehandedly reinvented Toronto's queer nightlife culture, Will did more to revolutionize both his community and his city in a decade than most folks do in a lifetime.
  
   
  
  
   
  Weaving together a collage of stories from and about the people who knew and loved him,  Army of Lovers  is both a biography of Will Munro and a document of a galvanizing period in the history of Toronto, a moment when the city's various subcultures - the queer community, the art scene, the independent musicuniverse, the grassroots activist enclaves - came of age and collided with one another.

Put MY hand on my ear, three or four times, say BABA...BABA… …..BABA…. .BABA…...BABA…In my old house only burning kerosene lamps. Who was made by mom. I mean all the facilities weren't. Yet my father was always happy.Some days I took a rest. I met friends in the village. Walk in all the streets of my village. My father did use words of welcome when he met anyone like Hindu, they said, Jai Rama. With Muslim people As Salamo Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatahu. As I was used forever. In my village, there were hated people, arrogant people, jealous, adult boys who were naughty, hooligans, and romantic.But don't problems don't disturb anyone, they know that the government gives the same power to the poor or rich.And the most important thing from grandfather to grandfather is to live and die. Forefathers is an introduction. They can solve their problems.Everyone has a citizenship. They have the same rights. If there are any problems.Dad's advice I didn't accept. Because I want to see many people in different places. It is my most favorite hobby. Such as, London, Hong Kong, UAE, New York, Katmandu, etc. I have no money but have a dream about it.At night I lost my green dream. Who makes me foolish during this time? And word out of the heart, Alas, I took birth in London. Alas, I was born in the Tata Family, either Mukesh Ambani. Alas, I took birth in an Indian leader's house.All of the above thoughts, that I am not sad in my life.How good, if I live already rich? I buy all my desired things.
