Synopsis

Madrid Stories explores the rich history, art, and culture of Spain's capital, revealing its central role in shaping the nation's identity. It examines the city's evolution from a Moorish outpost to the heart of a sprawling empire, focusing on the legacy of the Spanish monarchy, the development of Spanish art, and the passionate embrace of flamenco. Madrid's architectural marvels, like the Royal Palace and El Retiro Park, reflect the ambitions of past monarchs, while its world-renowned museums, such as the Prado, showcase the evolution of Spanish art. This book argues that Madrid is not merely a backdrop to Spanish history but an active participant in its creation, forged through political power, artistic expression, and popular culture.

 
Madrid Stories begins by setting the geographical and historical context, then progresses through the royal and artistic heritage before delving into the world of flamenco. By drawing upon archival documents, historical chronicles, and art historical analyses, the book provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of Madrid's past and present, making it invaluable for anyone interested in Spanish history, art, and culture.

    A prize-winning Belgian poet explores the nature of creative endeavor—the godlike ambition, the crushing defeat of failure—through the stories of thirteen tragic architects. 
     
     
     
    In thirteen fascinating chapters, Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal to their architects—architects who either killed themselves or are rumored to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire in seventeenth-century France to a theater that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC, and an eerily sinking swimming pool in the author's hometown. Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Darwin to art history, stories from her own life, and popular culture, Van den Broeck brings patterns into focus as she asks, What is that strange, life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator? 
     
     
     
    Threaded through each story is the author's meditation on the question of suicide—what Albert Camus called the "one truly serious philosophical problem"—in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking ground in literary nonfiction, as well as providing solace and consolation to anyone who has ever attempted a creative act.

    While many are familiar with those facts, and a recent movie revived interest in Alan Turing’s achievements with computing during World War II, it was Charles Babbage who was the first to conceive the notion of a programmable and automatic universal computer, which, on top of its ability to calculate any mathematical equation at an unmatched speed, could also be used for a seemingly infinite number of other applications. In other words, he envisioned the precursor to the modern computer.   
    At first blush, Babbage hardly seemed the type, because in many ways, Babbage was the antithesis of the debonair, silver-tongued, and effortlessly charismatic CEOs of present-day tech giants. Babbage was a quirky individual to say the least. He was highly observant, but was in the same breath a habitual daydreamer, often caught in a trance of deep thought.  Indeed, his unquenchable thirst for knowledge and his brilliant mind were unparalleled, but this was paired with his restless, addictive, and extreme nature, as well as his obsession with precision and factual accuracy.  
    	Working with Babbage was certainly an unusual path for any woman, but Ada Lovelace managed to do so before an incredibly premature death. Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, died in 1852 at the age of 36, but during her short and tumultuous life, she was one of the first to recognize that computers could do far more than complex calculations. This was all the more surprising given that, during her life, no computers existed, and her ideas were based on an implicit understanding of the theoretical work of Charles Babbage, who himself is today recognized as the “Father of the Computer.” What makes her work truly startling is that she did this more than 100 years before the first computer had even been created. But Ada Lovelace was a woman, and in Victorian England, her work was generally either ignored or disparaged.

    Education of the Heart

    In an era of information technology we tend to neglect education in the emotions, the imagination, and civility. Thomas Moore's books on the soul paint a picture of literate, sensitive, and artful human living. In The Education of the Heart he presents many of the sources that influenced and inspired Care of the Soul, Soul Mates, and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, choosing special passages that show us how to cultivate our humanity. But this is not merely a sourcebook or anthology; it's a manual for living from the heart. 
    Here we read the great teachers and writers of the past and present, not as representatives of historical periods but as vivid teachers who show us the way towards a richer, more spiritful and soul-filled life. 
    As Thomas Moore says, "Listen to these passages, write them down for future reference, tell them to friends, commit them to memory - these are all ways of educating the heart." 
    Read by Thomas Moore and cast.
