Sinopsis

Leo Tolstoy's 'What is Art? & Wherein is Truth in Art' explores the complex relationship between art and truth. In this collection of essays on aesthetics and literature, Tolstoy delves into the nature of art, focusing on its ability to convey universal truths and communicate with the audience on a profound level. Through his unique blend of philosophical insight and literary analysis, Tolstoy challenges conventional notions of art and calls for a return to a more authentic and meaningful form of artistic expression. His writing style is clear and concise, making this book accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the intersection of art and truth in creative works. Tolstoy's ideas on art as a vehicle for moral and spiritual enlightenment continue to resonate with readers worldwide. Known for his masterpieces such as 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina,' Tolstoy's own experiences as a writer and thinker undoubtedly influenced his exploration of the deeper meaning behind artistic creation. 'What is Art? & Wherein is Truth in Art' is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the essential role of art in reflecting and shaping human experience.

    Growing up around music, young George was inspired to piece together a makeshift drum set and teach himself to play as he practiced in the dark, dank basement of his rundown New Jersey townhouse. 
     
     
     
    He soon joined forces with his friends to form a group called the Jazziacs, which then evolved into Kool & The Gang, a band that began charting hits while its members were still teenagers. By evolving their sound as musical tastes changed, the band was able to stay on the charts for decades, scoring twelve Top 10 hits in Funk, R&B, Pop, and Rock, and selling over seventy million albums while navigating the highs and lows of their career. 
     
     
     
    In Too Hot, drummer, keyboardist, and primary songwriter George Brown describes life in and out of the band, including a raucous life on the road as the band's popularity grew. He weathered the ups and downs of his musical career and navigated many challenges, including prescription drug addiction and depression. 
     
     
     
    George shares how his recent cancer scare, and subsequent treatment, compelled him to share his story, warts and all, to give listeners a glimpse into a band whose reputation was considered relatively tame, when in reality, it was exactly the opposite.

    My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and prurient books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal knowledge. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual and moral behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is funny, sorrowful, suspenseful, compulsively readable, obscene, titillating, exciting and erotic...we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful characters of the Victorian era.
    
    Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique and important text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten to fifteen years culminating in a lifetime's work for the composer and what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.

    Saints are the powerful, benevolent dead. They remain connected to the living to provide assistance, especially in times of need. Everyone has patron saints, even the marginalized who may feel abandoned and removed from these spiritual traditions. Queer Saints: A Radical Guide to Magic, Miracles, and Modern Intercession is a contemporary reimagining of an ancient spiritual practice—the intercessory power of saints. “Intercession” is typically defined as the action of intervening for another. Pagliarulo offers listeners a wide range of saints that includes the traditional, as well as re-envisioned saints specifically for a queer constituency. These include Saint David Bowie, Saint Freddie Mercury, Saint Alexander McQueen, Saint Moms Mabley, and Saint André Leon Talley. Pagliarulo explains why these are queer saints and offers practical information on how to venerate them—from building altars to making offerings. Queer Saints makes change and self-empowerment accessible to listeners of all faiths and belief systems by spotlighting the transformative impact queer saints have had on our world and their burgeoning influence on our spiritual future.
