Synopsis

Christ the Redeemer, a towering monument atop Corcovado Mountain in Brazil, is much more than a statue; it's a symbol of faith, redemption, and Brazilian national identity. This book explores the architectural marvel, religious significance, and cultural impact of this iconic landmark. Intriguingly, the statue's construction involved innovative engineering, including the use of reinforced concrete and soapstone, materials carefully chosen to withstand the elements and embody a sense of permanence. Furthermore, the book highlights how the statue became a globally recognized symbol of hope, transcending its specific religious and historical context.

 
This exploration begins by setting the historical stage, detailing the religious and political climate in late 19th and early 20th century Brazil that led to the monument's conception. It then moves into the architectural and engineering challenges overcome during construction, shedding light on the design process and site selection. Progressing further, the book analyzes the statue's potent religious symbolism, interpreting its representation of Christian faith, divine grace, and its integral role in Brazilian Catholicism. Finally, it examines the statue's global impact, its depiction in popular culture, and its significance as a representation of Brazil on the world stage.

 
Using archival materials, architectural drawings, and historical photographs to provide visual context, the book also incorporates religious texts, theological interpretations, and sociological studies to analyze the statue's cultural and religious impact. Christ the Redeemer offers a comprehensive perspective, combining architectural analysis, historical context, and religious interpretation to provide a nuanced understanding of this renowned monument.

Once a Stooge Always a Stooge:...

Joe Besser, Jeff Lenburg, Greg...

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. 
REVISED AND EXPANDED AND BESSER THAN EVER! 
For more than six decades, Joe Besser brought gales of laughter to millions—in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio, in motion pictures, and on television. From his days working as a bumbling assistant to the world-famous Thurston the Magician, he carved out success with his own act—that of a childlike sissy who brandished his foils with a flick of the wrist and such hilarious verbal assaults as “Ooh, you crazy you!” and “Not so f-a-s-t!” From stage to film and television screens, the famed roly-poly comedian left an indelible mark–from starring in his own feature films and short-subject series for Columbia Pictures, to dishing out huge laughs on scores of popular programs of the day, most notably as the malevolent brat “Stinky” on The Abbott and Costello Show, to stepping in to replace Shemp Howard after his death as a member of Three Stooges comedy team. Followed by countless more laugh out-loud performances in movies and on television, from playing the frustrated superintendent, Jillson, on The Joey Bishop Show to voicing Saturday morning cartoons, his legacy still lives on today, thanks to reruns of his classic work. Illustrating a passing age of American humor, ONCE A STOOGE, ALWAYS A STOOGE tells the whole story. Jam-packed with timeless remembrances, Besser vividly recounts it all–the personal ups and downs, the classic skits and routines that became his hallmark, and behind-the-scenes stories of show business icons who enriched his life and career, including Abbott and Costello, Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Olsen and Johnson, and many others, in this charming and thoughtfully written memoir.
