  “Someone told Bima that if he gets a special kind of water and bathes in it he will become invulnerable in the Bratajuda war against Sujudana.  So he climbs a mountain, fights giants and crosses the sea in his quest to find a guru.  His mystical journey is filled with magic and wonder, but will he gain the power to save his people?  ” 
  Based on Javanese cultural legends, Look Within (Lihat Ke Dalam) is an example of Indonesian Wayang Puppet Theatre.  In 1890,  32,965 Indonesians from villages in Central and East Java immigrated to Suriname.  These people make up the largest migration of Indonesians outside of Southeast Asia.  Their culture and stories contribute to the multicultural diversity of the Caribbean. 
  Look Within (Lihat Ke Dalam) is written, produced and performed by Obediya Jones-Darrell with narration read by Sara Riyanto.  Obediya first traveled to Java, Indonesia in 1998 where he performed in a Gamelan orchestra, the music accompaniment for Wayang puppet theatre.

  Manet is one of the most famous artists from the second half of the nineteenth century linked to the impressionists, although he was not really one of them. He had great influence on French painting partly because of the choice he made for his subjects from everyday life, the use of pure colours, and his fast and free technique. He made, in his own work, the transition between Courbet’s Realism and the work of the impressionists.
  Born a high bourgeois, he chose to become a painter after failing the entry to the Marine School. He studied with Thomas Couture, an Academic painter, but it was thanks to the numerous travels he made around Europe from 1852 that he started to find out what would become his own style.
  His first paintings were mostly portraits and genre scenes, inspired by his love for Spanish masters like Velázquez and Goya. In 1863 he presented his masterpiece Luncheon on the Grass at the Salon des Refusés. His work started a fight between the defenders of Academic art and the young “refusés” artists. Manet became the leader of this new generation of artists.
  From 1864, the official Salon accepted his paintings, still provoking loud protests over works such as Olympia in 1865. In 1866, the writer Zolá wrote an article defending Manet’s work. At that time, Manet was friends with all the future great impressionist masters: Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne, and he influenced their work, even though he cannot strictly be counted as one of them. In 1874 indeed, he refused to present his paintings in the First Impressionist Exhibition. His last appearance in the official Salon was in 1882 with A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, one of his most famous works. Suffering from gangrene during the year 1883, he painted flower still-lifes until he became too weak to work. He died leaving behind a great number of drawings and paintings.

More than two dozen topics of debate are addressed, with cases being made both for the lads from Liverpool and rock’s proto bad boys. From the Cavern and Crawdaddy clubs through head-to-head comparisons of specific albums (e.g., Exile or “the White Album”?), members’ roles within the bands, the Svengali-like managers, influential producers, musical influences, and more, this is the book that dares confront the topics over which fans have agonized for years. Illustrated throughout with photography and memorabilia.
