Entries are arranged alphabetically, covering movies from all over the world – from every continent save Antarctica – with briefer details provided for several hundred additional movies within those entries. A copious appendix contains filmographies of prominent directors, actors, and writers. With coverage of blockbusters and program fillers from Going Straight (US 1916) to Broken City (US 2013) via Nora Inu (Japan 1949), O Anthropos tou Trainou (Greece 1958), El Less Wal Kilab (Egypt 1962), Reportaje a la Muerte (Peru 1993), Zift (Bulgaria 2008), and thousands more, A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Film Noir is an engrossing and essential reference work that should be on the shelves of every cinephile.
Download or read book Stories of a Survivor written by Dr. Norbert Kerenyi and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer depicts the dangerous adventures of his childhood and youth in Second World War Hungary under Fascism, the eventful years full of humorous moments in the post-war communist dictatorship, and the interesting stories of his career in Canada since 1957. Reading the book is remembrance and amusement, tears and laughter, nostalgia and excitement with ironic, sometimes sarcastic humor. He looked death in the face as a child, who had to grow up suddenly, and did the same, later as a pathologist, as well. His unique way of looking at all the things he had to face in his life led him to the firm conviction: “In all of us DOES EXIST the ability to survive. We are almost invincible. We can survive anything, except our death.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Lady of Underfashions is a nonfiction saga-like memoir written by Christina Erteszek and including excerpts from her parents' (Jan and Olga) unpublished memoirs. It is a complex, layered, and nuanced story that bridges the violence of war, the innovation of thought, the singularity of religion, the quest for identity, and the intrigues and intricacies of family life. Jan and Olga escape from World War II Europe and arrive in the US with just a few dollars. They turn their paltry savings into a multi-million-dollar fashion business. Olga becomes a leading patent holder of female lingerie, a trendsetter in the industry, and is widely known for her innovative business tactics. But as this husband-and-wife team think of retiring, they decide to merge with another fashion company, which proves to be a fatal move when a loophole in the agreement allows for a hostile takeover. This is also a story of a daughter's need to find herself. Along her path to self-discovery, she discovers her parents have many secrets, some of which will never be revealed.
