Joe Wilcox documents from its beginnings, the formation of an unwitting community that demonstrates the enormous power of bringing together outsiders into a space of celebration—and in the process, explores the insights of creating deeply connected relationships that formed in the process. Wilcox fully examines the core idea of weaving connections in the structure of crafting communities.

    THE GODFATHER 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Godfather is a 1972 American crime drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel. The film follows the powerful Corleone family, led by patriarch Vito Corleone, a Mafia don in post-World War II New York. As Vito’s youngest son, Michael, reluctantly becomes involved in the family's criminal empire, the story explores themes of power, loyalty, revenge, and the complexities of family dynamics. The film delves into the moral struggles faced by its characters as they navigate the dangerous world of organized crime, blending crime thriller with deep emotional and ethical conflicts. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Marlon Brando used a mouthpiece made by a dentist to create the distinct look of Don Vito Corleone. He had originally stuffed his cheeks with cotton for his audition to achieve the "bulldog" look.” 
      
    “The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found on the Paramount lot. It wasn't in the script, and the cat’s purring muffled Brando’s dialogue, so most of his lines had to be re-recorded.” 
      
    “There was significant tension between Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount Pictures, with the studio often trying to replace Coppola due to delays, overspending, and casting issues. However, Coppola finished the film ahead of schedule and under budget.” 
      
    “Marlon Brando improvised the smack that Don Vito gives Johnny Fontane in the movie, and Al Martino's confused reaction was genuine. James Caan later said that Martino didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”

  • A Short History of Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce - The Unbelievable True Story of the World's Most Beloved Dish - cover

    A Short History of Spaghetti...

    Massimo Montanari

    • 0

    • 0
    A surprisingly wide-ranging journey into the story of this beloved dish and “an utterly fascinating discourse on food history” (The Daily Beast). 
     
    Intellectually engaging and deliciously readable, this is a stereotype-defying history of how one of the most recognizable symbols of Italian cuisine and national identity is the product of centuries of encounters, dialogue, and exchange. 
     
    Is it possible to identify a starting point in history from which everything else unfolds—a single moment that can explain the present and reveal the essence of who we are? According to Massimo Montanari, this is just a myth. Historical phenomena can only be understood dynamically—by looking at how events and identities develop and change as a result of encounters and combinations that are often unexpected. 
     
    As he shows in this lively, brilliant, and surprising essay, finding the origin of spaghetti—or anything else—is not as simple as it may seem. By tracing the history of the one of Italy’s “national dishes” —from Asia to America, from Africa to Europe; from the beginning of agriculture to the Middle Ages and up to the twentieth century—he reveals that in order to understand our own identity, we almost always need to look beyond ourselves to other cultures, peoples, and traditions. 
     
    “Montanari’s research will delight readers and provide plenty of fodder for dinner-table discussion.” —Booklist 
     
    “Full of delicious details.” —Publishers Weekly

    Ladies and Gentlemen, 
    Welcome to the world of Argentina, a land of passion, turmoil, and rich history. If you're like me, you love a good story, and let me tell you, Argentina has got some tales to tell. From the Spanish conquistadors to the tango dancers of Buenos Aires, this country has seen it all, and I've got an audiobook that will take you on a journey through its fascinating past. 
    But be warned, this audiobook is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a dry recitation of facts and dates, you're in the wrong place. No, my friends, this audiobook is a living, breathing thing, a story that will grab you by the throat and not let go until the last page has been turned (or in this case, the last chapter has been listened to). 
    I've always been fascinated by Argentina, with its vibrant culture, delicious food, and passionate people. But it wasn't until I dove into its history that I truly fell in love with this country. The struggles for independence, the golden age of immigration, the rise and fall of dictators – it's all here, waiting for you to discover. 
    And it's not just the history that makes this audiobook so special. You'll also hear from the people who make up this amazing country – the musicians, the writers, the everyday folks who call Argentina home. They'll share their stories and give you a glimpse into the heart and soul of this place. 
    So what are you waiting for? If you're ready for an adventure, if you're ready to be transported to a land of passion and intrigue, if you're ready to fall in love with Argentina like I did, then don't hesitate. Get your hands (or your ears) on this audiobook and let the journey begin.
