Sinopsis

The Rape of Lucrece William Shakespeare - The Rape of Lucrece is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare about the legendary Lucretia. In his previous narrative poem, Venus and Adonis, Shakespeare had included a dedicatory letter to his patron, the Earl of Southampton, in which he promised to write a graver work. Accordingly, The Rape of Lucrece lacks the humorous tone of the earlier poem. Lucrece draws on the story described in both Ovid's Fasti and Livy's history of Rome. In 509 BC, Sextus Tarquinius, son of Tarquin, the king of Rome, raped Lucretia, wife of Collatinus, one of the king's aristocratic retainers. As a result, Lucrece committed suicide. Her body was paraded in the Roman Forum by the king's nephew. This incited a full-scale revolt against the Tarquins led by Lucius Junius Brutus, the banishment of the royal family, and the founding of the Roman republic.

    Music, Lyrics, and Life is the songwriting class you always wish you'd taken, taught by the professor you always wish you'd had. It's a deep dive into the heart of questions asked by songwriters of all levels, from how to begin journaling to when you know that a song is finished. With humor and empathy, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. 
     
     
     
    Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today's biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it's within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that Music, Lyrics, and Life ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going.

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
    An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are English philosopher and Renaissance man Sir Francis Bacon, women' s rights advocate Susan B. Anthony, Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, and Greek philosopher Socrates.

    TENET 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Tenet is a 2020 science fiction action-thriller directed by Christopher Nolan. The film follows a secret agent, known only as the Protagonist, who is recruited by a mysterious organization called Tenet. Tasked with preventing a global catastrophe, he learns to manipulate time through "inversion," a process that reverses the entropy of objects and people. As the Protagonist teams up with his enigmatic ally, Neil, they navigate a complex world of espionage, time manipulation, and hidden agendas. The film explores themes of fate, free will, and the cyclical nature of time, all wrapped in high-octane action sequences and mind-bending concepts. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Filming the car chase sequence took three weeks and required the crew to close off eight kilometers of a six-lane highway in Tallinn. Cars were shot moving both forward and in reverse during the chase.” 
      
    “When the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States in spring 2020, the film's score was about eighty-percent finished. The main effect was on an orchestral session that was scheduled for April, which was completed later by individual recordings of musicians at their homes.” 
      
    “Actor Robert Pattinson shared that there was much secrecy around the project before its release. He could only read the script in a locked office at Warner Bros. studios. Michael Caine, his co-star, wasn't allowed to read the entire screenplay, only his scenes. Caine admitted he had no idea what the movie was about.”
