Synopsis

Southern War Songs: Camp-Fire, Patriotic and Sentimental is a rich anthology that captures the emotional landscape of the American Civil War through music. Comprising a diverse collection of lyrics and melodies that reflect the Southern experience, this volume showcases the intersection of art and conflict, weaving together themes of courage, loss, and longing. The literary style is characterized by its emotive language and rhythmic cadence, drawing readers into the fervor of campfire gatherings and the nostalgia of a divided nation. Each song serves as a poignant reminder of the cultural milieu of the time, imbuing the text with historical significance while also inviting personal reflection. The contributions of various authors to this compilation underscore a collective yearning for identity and belonging amidst the turmoil of war. As many of these songs emerged from soldiers, civilians, and songwriters alike, they reveal the societal undercurrents that fueled the Southern narrative. The cultural context surrounding this anthology highlights the role of music in wartime as both a source of solace and a rallying cry, illustrating how creativity thrived even in the face of adversity. I recommend Southern War Songs to readers with an interest in American history, musicology, or literary studies. This anthology not only provides insight into the emotional depths of the Civil War era but also serves as a captivating testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Engage with this remarkable odyssey of sound and sentiment, and rediscover the voices that defined a tumultuous chapter in American history.

    The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show Emily in Paris. Paris, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections:  Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian;  Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to;  Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquée de Paris to the Atelier des Lumières, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants;   Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media;   Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Château de Versailles.  Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift for all the fans of the show.

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Legendary...

    Considering that her film career lasted just six years, it would seem as though the reputation of Grace Kelly far outweighs her actual output. Indeed, from the time of her arrival in Hollywood in 1951 through her final film, High Society, in 1956, Kelly acted in just 11 films, leaving viewers to wonder whether Kelly was still in the beginning of her career or whether High Society was a proper culmination to an extraordinarily brief stay in the film industry? Ultimately, it is might be most accurate to state that Kelly was still in the prime of her career, but it’s unclear what direction her career would have taken, as well as who inherited the void she left. 
    Ingrid Bergman’s fame cannot be doubted, but the international quality of her career has prevented most people from gaining a complete understanding of her filmography. Moreover, the immense success of her most famous films obscured her other achievements; one of Bergman’s persistent lamentations late in her career was that even though she appeared in other films she deemed more significant, the only film of hers that people wanted to discuss was Casablanca.  
    Although Fontaine and de Havilland would make history by becoming the only sisters to both win an Academy Award for Best Actress, that anecdote was just one of the various stories about the siblings that has shed light on their notoriously contentious and complicated relationship. As Fontaine once put it, “I married first, won the Oscar before Olivia did, and if I die first, she'll undoubtedly be livid because I beat her to it!"  
    Kim Novak’s most famous role was as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary “icy blondes” in Vertigo (1958), beguiling Jimmy Stewart’s character to the point of madness in what is widely considered one of the greatest films ever made. The girl who originally wanted to be an artist reached the upper echelon of Hollywood itself before she had even turned 30.

    “You look so familiar, where have I seen you?” Mira Tzur repeatedly hears this statement when she enters a room. The answer to this question is what inspired Anonymously Famous™. Mira Tzur is best known for her multifaceted talents and familiar, warm presence. She is an Israeli American Founder & President of One Circle Productions & Consulting Group, actress, theater and film producer, social philanthropist, French Countess, former counterintelligence IDF officer, and Senior Vice President of a next gen fintech company. Her background and unique credentials in dance, fitness, nutrition, modeling, and acting set her up for a life of success as a leader in the business world. This informative A to Z guide illustrates her own—often humorous—25-year journey in the industry of modeling and acting, sharing interviews with many of her renowned peers and colleagues, demonstrating that modeling is a lifestyle that evolves over time. Throughout the book, Mira expresses a strong message that a model can work in the profession at any age, depicting their stage in life to inspire the target audience. Twenty years of experience has a far greater value than being 20 years old, even in a business driven by external beauty. Thus, while most fashion modeling books speak to the 1% dreaming of becoming a supermodel—for most, an unattainable goal—this book speaks to the other 99% who, at some point, dream of modeling but were told not to pursue it. Anonymously Famous™ explores in-depth, the platforms you’ll need to know about: print, commercial, voice-over, hosting, animation, unions, agents, managers, casting directors, photographers, modeling [fit, foot, fitness, part, petit, plus, mature, etc.], giving the reader enough mileage to take their own journey. In today’s world, the only thing that you have going for you is you! Are you the best version of yourself at any given age?

    World War II is over and a family, mourning a son missing in action, plants a memorial tree and tries to go on with their lives. A storm blows down the tree and a devastating family secret is uprooted, setting the characters on a terrifying journey towards truth. Based upon a true story, All My Son is a classic drama by one of America’s greatest playwrights. 
     
    At the heart of All My Sons lies a scathing criticism of the American Dream. After its publication Arthur Miller was called to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he famously refused to give evidence against others. 
     
    Tony Award Winner for Best Author (1947) 
     
    AudioFile Magazine review: “One of the strengths of L.A. Theatre Works is their skill at selecting quality plays previously unavailable on audio. Arthur Miller’s 1947 breakthrough play is at once a postwar family drama, an indictment of false societal values and a searing tragedy. James Farentino plays businessman Joe Keller with a gruff bluster that sometimes masks a sacrificial love for his son Chris (Arye Gross), an idealist home from the war. Julie Harris, as the mother, Kate, is alternately needy, demanding, lovingly solicitous and willfully blind to the past. The live responses of the audience underscore the touches of humor that season the early acts of this landmark American drama.”
