Sinossi

In a world enthralled by the written word and the silver screen, two titans emerged, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of storytelling: Ernest Hemingway and John Huston. Their paths intertwined, their lives and careers forever entwined in a captivating dance of inspiration, friendship, and rivalry.

This book unveils the intricate relationship between these two creative giants, delving into the depths of their artistic journeys and exploring the profound influence they had on each other and the broader cultural landscape. Through a captivating narrative, we embark on a journey to uncover the secrets behind their creative processes, the challenges they faced, and the legacies they left behind.

Hemingway, with his sharp prose and poignant insights into the human condition, revolutionized the art of storytelling. His ability to capture the essence of life's complexities, from the exhilaration of adventure to the depths of despair, earned him a place among the greatest writers of all time. Huston, a cinematic visionary, brought Hemingway's words to life on the silver screen, creating films that were both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. His mastery of visual storytelling and his keen eye for detail transformed Hemingway's literary landscapes into vivid, unforgettable images.

Their friendship, though complex and often strained, was a testament to their mutual respect and admiration. They shared a deep appreciation for adventure, travel, and the pursuit of truth. We witness their struggles with self-doubt, their battles with personal demons, and their unwavering commitment to their craft.

As we delve into their lives and careers, we gain a deeper understanding of the creative process, the sacrifices it demands, and the rewards it can bring. Their works serve as a reminder of the power of storytelling to illuminate the human experience, to challenge our assumptions, and to transport us to worlds beyond our wildest imaginations.

This book is an homage to two masters of their craft, a celebration of their enduring legacies, and an exploration of the intricate relationship between literature and film. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of storytelling, the creative process, and the lives of two of the most influential figures in the 20th century.

    The legal home to over a million companies, Delaware has more registered businesses than residents. Why do virtually all of the biggest corporations in the United States register there? This book reveals how a systematic enterprise lies behind the business-friendly corporate veneer, one that has kept the state afloat financially by diverting public funds away from some of the poorest people in the United States and supporting dictators and criminals across the world. 
     
     
     
    Hal Weitzman shows how the de facto capital of corporate America has provided safe haven to money launderers, kleptocratic foreign rulers, and human traffickers, and facilitated tax dodging and money laundering by multinational companies and international gangsters. Revenues from Delaware's business-formation industry, known as the Franchise, account for two-fifths of the state's budget and have helped to keep the tax burden on its residents among the lowest in the United States. Delaware derives enormous political clout from the Franchise, effectively writing the corporate code for the entire country. 
     
     
     
    What's the Matter with Delaware? shows how, in Joe Biden's home state, the corporate laws get written behind closed doors, enabling the rich and powerful to do business in the shadows.

    The Night House - Folklore Fairy...

    Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.In The Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth. The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find.
