Download or read book Passport to Paris written by Vernon Duke and published by . This book was released on 1955 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author calls himself a musical Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and here are his memoirs. This book is the story of a symphonic- vs. -stagestruck composer - born Vladimir Dukelsky in a small railroad station in Russia - who wrote a Diaghilev ballet, symphonic music praised by the critics, as well as numerous Broadway hits, including the score to Cabin in the Sky, and the ever-popular tune "April in Paris." Paris is the pivot on which these confessions turn - the full-blown Paris of Christian Berard and Jean Cocteau and "Les Six," of the ballet Russe under its incomparable impresario, Diaghilev. Vladimir Dukelsky fell in love with Paris. He writes vividly and longingly of his life there - of his plush and penniless days; his friendships and quarrels with Prokofiev, the Sitwells, Serge and Natalya Koussevitzky and a host of other luminaries; his encounters with Massine and Balanchine that opened the door to Diaghilev, a commission - and recognition. And then, America. It was the America of the golden twenties and "thirsty thirties" - it was the age that saw the Shubert Follies, the infant Theatre Guild, the movies ground out on Long Island - it was the heyday of Ethel Merman, Bea Lillie, Maurice Chevalier, Ginger Rogers, Noel Coward, George and Ira Gershwin and in all-star bill of other favorites. Popular music was popular as never before and Vernon Duke knew he had a knack for tunes. Through it all, Dukelsky pulled against Duke - acclaim mounted in Europe; battle was pitched in Boston with Koussevitzky; Evelyn Hoey sang "April in Paris" in Walk a Little Faster, which starred Bea Lillie; Hollywood nodded; Gershwin and Prokofiev each demanded another score. An irresistible lyricist hove on the scene in the person of Ogden Nash, with whom a lifelong friendship developed. It was a madcap merry-go-round of ups and downs, frantic friends, strong emotions involving a number of women. Vernon Duke loved every minute of it, and he writes with often startling candor both of his own checkered career and those of the figures he has known. This book beats out a lively syncopation of wit and gusto and off-beat memories, extending a handsome invitation to meet the theatrical and musical greats of the past three decades - and to share in the indefinable magic of the city everyone loves best. --Dust jacket.
Download or read book Il Bel Centro written by Michelle Damiani and published by Rialto Press. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty and warm-hearted memoir of abandoning fast-paced American days in favor of discovering the Italian secrets of food, community, and life. Moving across the globe meant Michelle Damiani soon found herself untangling Italian customs, delighting in glorious regional cuisine (recipes included), and creating lasting friendships. From grandmothers eager to teach the ancient art of pasta making, to bakers tossing bread into fiery ovens with a song, to butchers extolling the benefits of pork fat, Il Bel Centro is rich with captivating characters and cultural insights. Throw in clinking glasses of Umbrian red with the local communists and a village all-nighter decorating the cobblestone streets with flower petals; as well as embarrassing language minefields and a serious summons to the mayor’s office, and you have all the ingredients for a spellbinding travel tale. Exquisitely observed, Il Bel Centro is an intimate celebration of small town Italy, as well as a thoughtful look at raising a family in a new culture and a fascinating story of finding a home. Ultimately though, this is a story about how travel can change you when you’re ready to let it. With laugh-out-loud situations and wanderlust-inspiring storytelling, Il Bel Centro is a joyous and life-affirming read that will have readers rushing to renew their passports. “This is one of the most beautiful book I’ve ever read.” “I absolutely couldn’t get enough of this book.” “This book made me want to pack my bags.” “I loved, loved this book. Fabulously written, engaging, and entertaining.” “A magical read.”

She has given to her husband’s ambition and career until her soul is bone-dry. She is trapped in a web of duty and obligation, married to a man she once loved and no longer even knows. Accidentally, they meet in Paris. Their totally different lives converge for one magical moment in the Place Vendôme, as Olivia carefully, silently, steps out of her life and walks away.

Olivia is no longer sure of anything except that she can’t go on anymore. Five days in Paris is all they have. They go back to their separate lives, but nothing is the same.
