Sinopsis

A fascinating self-portrait of one of the greatest entertainers of Hollywood’s golden age Film star. Cabaret sensation. Recording artist. Writer. Marlene Dietrich was nothing short of enchanting—and remains so as she chronicles her fabulous rise to stardom in Marlene. From her early career in Germany as a chorus girl to her breakout role as Lola in The Blue Angel to her courageous wartime tours, Dietrich recounts a life that captivates on the page just as she smoldered on the screen. She writes passionately of her friends—including Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and Edith Piaf, among many others—and she shares memories of what she calls her greatest accomplishment: entertaining the Allied troops during World War II. A sustained expression of her bold, sophisticated style, Marlene reminds us why Dietrich remains an international icon and a true Hollywood legend.

    "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is an autobiography written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became a prominent abolitionist and orator in the United States in the 19th century. The book was first published in 1845 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential works of African American literature. 
    Douglass was born into slavery in Maryland in the early 1800s. He never knew his father and was separated from his mother when he was only a few months old. He was raised by his grandmother on a plantation until he was about six years old, at which point he was sent to live with the plantation owner's family in Baltimore. It was there that Douglass learned to read and write, despite the fact that it was illegal to teach slaves to read. 
    When Douglass was around 12 years old, he was sent back to the plantation to work as a field hand. He endured years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his slave owners, and he witnessed the brutal treatment of his fellow slaves. Despite these hardships, Douglass never lost his desire for freedom. 
    In 1838, Douglass escaped from slavery and eventually settled in Massachusetts, where he became involved in the abolitionist movement. He began giving speeches and lectures about his experiences as a slave, and his powerful oratory quickly made him a popular and respected figure. He also published his own newspaper, called The North Star, which was dedicated to the abolition of slavery.

    “Themes of a colorful assortment of stories range from life on other planets to alternative history . . . a perfect introduction to his perennial genius.” —Booklist 
     
    Poul Anderson himself has put together a retrospective collection of his recent writings, fiction and nonfiction, under the title All One Universe. This is the first major Poul Anderson collection in a decade. It encompasses all his strengths as a teller of tales and, in addition, provides a running commentary in the story notes and in the essays on other literary figures such as Rudyard Kipling, Johannes B. Jensen, and John W. Campbell, Jr., commentary that illuminates the fiction, gives personal insight into the mind of this fine writer, and provides a unifying personality for All One Universe. All One Universe, then, represents the new best of Poul Anderson. It is a rich, varied selection of quintessential science fiction as well as four essays, mostly from recent years, by one of the great science fiction writers of the century. His stories are filled with roaring energy, the soul of poetry, and dark imaginings. 
     
    “A fine introduction to one of SF’s masters.” —Starlog 
     
    “Fact and fiction, shaped by one of SF’s keenest minds, are mingled in this collection . . . On the whole, All One Universe is a collection which does its creator proud while delighting his fans.” —Rapport 
     
    “Poul Anderson’s writings have been at a remarkably high, consistent level of quality for nearly fifty years, now. All One Universe is a book for anyone interested in either SF or in craftsmanship.” —David Drake
