Beschreibung

In the world of musical theatre, few names shine as brightly as Stephen Sondheim. A composer, lyricist, and librettist of unparalleled talent, Sondheim revolutionized the genre with his innovative approach to storytelling, his exploration of complex themes, and his mastery of language and music.

This comprehensive biography takes readers on a journey through Sondheim's remarkable life and career, from his early years in New York City to his rise to prominence as one of the most influential figures in musical theatre history. Along the way, we explore the creative process behind his groundbreaking musicals, from "Company" and "Follies" to "Sweeney Todd" and "Into the Woods."

Sondheim's musicals are known for their thought-provoking themes, their emotionally resonant stories, and their unforgettable songs. With his unparalleled skill in crafting lyrics that are both poetic and insightful, Sondheim elevated the art of musical theatre to new heights. His music, too, was innovative and distinctive, often incorporating elements of classical music, jazz, and popular song.

Beyond his creative genius, Sondheim was also a generous mentor and a tireless advocate for the arts. He inspired generations of artists and audiences alike, and his work continues to be performed and celebrated around the world.

This biography is a must-read for fans of Sondheim's work and anyone interested in the history of musical theatre. Through in-depth analysis and exclusive interviews, we paint a vivid portrait of a true master of his craft, whose legacy will continue to inspire and entertain for generations to come.

Join us as we delve into the life and work of Stephen Sondheim, a towering figure in the world of musical theatre whose impact on the art form is immeasurable.

    19: The Musical is the dynamic and little-known story of Alice Paul, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Inez Milholland and the other suffragists who fought to get women the right to vote - The 19th Amendment.

    Icon. Celebrity. Artist. Madman. Genius. 
     
     
     
    Nicolas Cage is many things, but love him, or laugh at him, there's no denying two things: you've seen one of his many films, and you certainly know his name. But who is he, really, and why has his career endured for over forty years, with more than a hundred films, and birthed a million memes? 
     
     
     
    Age of Cage is a smart, beguiling book about the films of Nicolas Cage and the actor himself, as well as a sharp-eyed examination of the changes that have taken place in Hollywood over the course of his career. Critic and journalist Keith Phipps draws a portrait of the enigmatic icon by looking at—what else?—Cage's expansive filmography. 
     
     
     
    As Phipps delights in charting Cage's films, Age of Cage also chronicles the transformation of film, as Cage's journey takes him through the world of 1980s comedies (Valley Girl, Peggy Sue Got Married, Moonstruck), to the indie films and blockbuster juggernauts of the 1990s (Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas, Face/Off, Con Air), through the video-on-demand world of today. 
     
     
     
    Sweeping in scope and intimate in its profile of a fiercely passionate artist, Age of Cage is, like the man himself, surprising, insightful, funny, and one of a kind. So, snap out of it, and enjoy this appreciation of Nicolas Cage, national treasure.

    The story of these beloved bricks and the people who built an empire with them.   From its inception in the early 1930s right up until today, the LEGO Group’s history is as colorful as the toys it makes. Few other playthings share the LEGO brand’s creative spirit, educational benefits, resilience, quality, and universal appeal. This history charts the birth of the LEGO Group from the workshop of a Danish carpenter and its steady growth as a small, family-run toy manufacturer to its current position as a market-leading, award-winning brand. The company’s growing catalogue of products—including the earliest wooden toys, plastic bricks, play themes and other building systems such as DUPLO, Technic, and MINDSTORMS—are chronicled in detail, alongside the manufacturing process, LEGOLAND parks, licensed toys, and computer games.   Learn all about how LEGO pulled itself out of an economic crisis and embraced technology to make building blocks relevant to twenty-first century children, and discover the vibrant fan community of kids and adults whose conventions, websites, and artwork keep the LEGO spirit alive. Building a History will have you reminiscing about old Classic Space sets, rummaging through the attic for forgotten minifigure friends, and playing with whatever LEGO bricks you can get your hands on (even if it means sharing with your kids).
