Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time can never erase sweet memories. Though they age as the years roll on, they remain fresh in hearts and minds, enthralled by each reminiscence. Cherished memories give rise to yearnings to relive the past, impossible though it may be. Yet, in all their futility, they serve as a fountain of unmistakable warmth. In this account of his childhood, Gobi fondly recalls his events and experiences growing up in a rubber plantation. Born into a large family, with his parents working as rubber tappers, his early days were marked by poverty. Yet, in an unassuming way, he learned to enjoy and cherish every single one of those days. Simplicity and gratitude coloured the lenses through which he viewed his world then. And he is no different today. Gobi grew up in Negeri Sembilan at Kirby Estate, located along the trunk road connecting Seremban and Nilai. He attended Kirby Tamil School and St. Paul’s Institution. He is a graduate of University Malaya and spent a large part of his work life with an MNC. He is semi-retired and currently engages in minor entrepreneurial interests, in addition to community-related activities. This is his maiden foray into publishing.

Download or read book Cinema Italiano written by Howard Hughes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Italian filmmakers have created some of the most magical and moving, violent and controversial films in world cinema. During its twentieth-century heyday, Italy's film industry was second only to Hollywood as a popular film factory, exporting cinematic dreams with multinational casts to the world, ranging across multiple genres. 'Cinema Italiano' is the first book to discuss comprehensively and in depth this Italian cinema, both popular and arthouse. It is illustrated throughout with rare stills and international posters from this revered era in European cinema and reviews over 350 movies. Howard Hughes uncovers this treasure trove of Italian films, from Lucino Visconti's epic 'The Leopard' to the cult superhero movie 'Puma Man'. Dario Argento's bloody 'gialli' thrillers and Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns are explored alongside films of Federico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Michelangelo Antonioni. Chapters discuss the rise and fall of genres such as mythological epics, gothic horrors, science fiction, spy films, war movies, costume adventures, zombie films, swashbucklers, political cinema and 'poliziotteschi' crime films. They also trace the directorial careers of Mario Bava, Sergio Corbucci, Francesco Rosi, Lucio Fulci, Duccio Tessari, Enzo G. Castellari, Bernardo Bertolucci and Gillo Pontecorvo.

Download or read book And Die in the West written by Paula Mitchell Marks and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gunfight at the O.K. Corral has excited the imaginations of Western enthusiasts ever since that chilly October afternoon in 1881 when Doc Holliday and the three fighting Earps strode along a Tombstone, Arizona, street to confront the Clanton and McLaury brothers. When they met, Billy Clanton and the two McLaurys were shot to death; the popular image of the Wild West was reinforced; and fuel was provided for countless arguments over the characters, motives, and actions of those involved. And Die in the West presents the first fully detailed, objective narrative of the celebrated gunfight, of the tensions leading up to it, and the bitter, bloody events that followed. Paula Mitchell Marks places the events surrounding the gunfight against a larger backdrop of a booming Tombstone and the fluid, frontier environment of greed, factions and violence. In the process, Marks strips away many of the myths associated with the famous gunfight and of the West in general.
