The beauty and magic of nature seen through the eye of a needle. Colours of flowers and shapes of plants; bleached grass and golden cornfields at harvest time; spiders webs on the structures of decayed seedheads; a metallic green chafer beetle landing on a deep crimson rose; a shooting star. Beguiling discoveries that are part of the world full of secrets, minute details and the sumptuous colours and textures of nature that lend themselves to their translation into rich embroidery. This embroidered path of the seasons uses hand embroidery in its traditional role of storytelling to share nature's gifts. Each stitch holds the emotion of the moment and keeps a record. The book tells the story of the companionship and healing offered by the seasons during the enforced isolation of the pandemic, and how it enabled the artist to find beauty in solitude.Ver livro
After performing with Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks (1957–1964), The Band (Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm) eventually rose to fame in the sixties as backing musicians for Bob Dylan. This collaboration with Dylan presented the group with a chance to expand musically and strike out on their own. The Band's fusion of rock, country, soul, and blues music—all tinged with a southern flavor and musical adventurousness—created a unique soundscape. The combined use of multiple instruments, complex song structures, and poetic lyrics required attentive listening and a sophisticated interpretive framework. It is no surprise, then, that they soon grew to be one of the biggest bands of their era. In Rags and Bones: An Exploration of The Band, scholars and musicians take a broad, multidisciplinary approach to The Band and their music, allowing for examination through sociological, historical, political, religious, technological, cultural, and philosophical means. Each contributor approaches The Band from their field of interest, offering a wide range of investigations into The Band's music and influence. Commercially successful and critically lauded, The Band created a paradoxically mythic and hauntingly realistic lyrical landscape for their songs—and their musicianship enlarged this detailed landscape.Ver livro
"Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.Ver livro
INCEPTION THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Inception is a mind-bending science fiction thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who specializes in "extraction," stealing secrets from within a person's subconscious during dreams. Cobb is offered a chance to have his criminal past erased if he can perform the impossible: "inception," planting an idea in someone's mind without them realizing. To achieve this, he assembles a team and navigates multiple layers of dreams within dreams. The movie explores themes of memory, guilt, reality, and the power of the subconscious, blending action with deep philosophical questions about perception and identity. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Christopher Nolan has said that the snow-based third-level dream was inspired by his favorite James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).” “Joseph Gordon-Levitt performed all but one of his own stunts during the famous hallway fight scene, which took place in a spinning hallway.” “According to cinematographer Wally Pfister, Warner Brothers executives suggested making this movie in 3D, but Christopher Nolan rejected the idea, claiming it would distract from the storytelling.” “Leonardo DiCaprio was the only choice for the role of Cobb, according to Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas.” “Christopher Nolan first pitched Inception to Warner Brothers after completing his third film, Insomnia (2002), and received approval. However, the movie wasn't written at that time. It took nearly eight years to complete the script.”Ver livro
Salvador Dalí sublimated his madness without ever falling into it. Antonin Artaud, confronted with the traumas of childhood, oscillated all his life between an overflowing creation and accesses of madness. Niki de Saint Phalle, thanks to artistic expression, cured herself of a deep depression linked to the trauma of incest. Vincent van Gogh, in order to reach the summit of his art, put himself in danger to the point of committing suicide. Camille Claudel exhausted herself in her creation and ended up being interned and never creating again. Based on the life and work of a dozen artists of genius, Thierry Delcourt tries to understand these artists’ transition from the summits of creation and the artistic abyss. Why do some people fall into madness while others go through life without a hitch? Why do some sick people find healing through creation? Why do many artists have an obsessive need to create relentlessly? To these fascinating questions, this book offers striking answers about creation on the brink of the abyss.Ver livro
