Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rose-Colored World and Other Fantasies Don waring stretched his long limbs, yawned gener onely and opened his eyes, opened his eyes indeed, and stared amazedly at the sky through the trees. Stared, stared as he had never done before in his life, for Don's eyes were usually only half open. He stared without blinking till his eyes felt sore; stared with an astonish ment which rarely disturbs such easy-going, indolent mortals as Mr. Don Waring. Something surely most unusual had happened. And well he might stare! For above him, among the leaves and branches, glared the rosiest sky he had ever seen. Rose! Rose like the crushed leaves of the reddest roses. Rose to the north, rose to the east, rose to the south, rose to the west - a flaming, radiant, brilliant rose spread everywhere to the horizon. Intoxicating rose!

Download or read book American Rose written by Karen Abbott and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER America was flying high in the Roaring Twenties. Then, almost overnight, the Great Depression brought it crashing down. When the dust settled, people were primed for a star who could distract them from reality. Enter Gypsy Rose Lee, a strutting, bawdy, erudite stripper who possessed a gift for delivering exactly what America needed. With her superb narrative skills and eye for detail, Karen Abbott brings to life an era of ambition, glamour, struggle, and survival. Using exclusive interviews and never-before-published material, she vividly delves into Gypsy’s world, including her intense triangle relationship with her sister, actress June Havoc, and their formidable mother, Rose, a petite but ferocious woman who literally killed to get her daughters on the stage. Weaving in the compelling saga of the Minskys—four scrappy brothers from New York City who would pave the way for Gypsy Rose Lee’s brand of burlesque and transform the entertainment landscape—Karen Abbott creates a rich account of a legend whose sensational tale of tragedy and triumph embodies the American Dream.

Download or read book On the Edge of Democracy written by Rosario Forlenza and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Edge of Democracy examines the emergence of democracy in Italy in the wake of World War Two. It examines the nature of the democracy forged in the liminal period after Benito Mussolini, the Duce of Fascism, was removed from government in the summer of 1943. Instead of pouring through institutional accounts, which root the origins of democracy in the establishment of parties and in electoral outcomes, Forlenza focuses on the lived experiences of ordinary people and elites in extraordinary times. Meanings of democracy are not variations of a universal model but emerge as contingent interpretative acts and a symbolization following political and existential crisis under condition of violence and war. On the Edge of Democracy captures a series of key events which saw people torn between going home or staying at the front, between clinging to a disrespected but habitual monarchy or engaging with a republican experiment. Becoming a democracy was also a kind of politically spiritual act: the power of the myth of America and the struggle for order as a function of the cosmic fight between communism and ant-communism in the incipient Cold War had a formative power on the origins, meanings, and characters of post-fascist democracy in Italy.

Download or read book Unfiltered written by Jon M. Gibson and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 2008 with total page 1340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If Walt Disney's life and work evoke feelings of chaste princesses in gleaming white castles, then Ralph Bakshi's should conjure up ladies of ill repute camped out in dim back alleys." "On par with the legendary animation auteurs of our time, Bakshi's name is synonymous with the grand tradition of American cartooning." "Responsible for such memorable films and television shows as Fritz the Cat, the first X-rated animated feature film, Heavy Traffic, Coonskin, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, Wizards, and The Lord of the Rings, Bakshi's influence on American popular culture, as well as on artists and writers who came after him, is undeniable and extensive." "Unfiltered: The Complete Ralph Bakshi is the first and only book chronicling the career of this animation pioneer, highlighting his early years, as well as each of his groundbreaking films, TV shows, and other projects. It contains brand-new Bakshi art created especially for this book, as well as hundreds of pieces of pre-production art, animation eels, and never-before-seen rough sketches, line drawings, and doodles, all culled from Bakshi's personal archives containing more than fifty years of his life's work."--Rabat de la jaquette.
