Ready, Steady, Go!: Swinging London and the Invention of Cool (Text Only)
Ready, Steady, Go!: Swinging London and the Invention of Cool (Text Only)
Shawn Levy
¥76.91
Shawn Levy, author of ‘Rat Pack Confidential’ brings alive London in the swinging Sixties with a gripping, groovy story of those who created the scene that changed the world. For a few years in the 1960s, London was the coolest city on earth: a spontaneous, dizzying stew of pop music, fashion, film, scandal, drugs & sex, crime, the avant garde underground and the tabloid obsession with fame. The rest of the world watched in awe. Snaking through it are such eminent swinging Londoners as The Dreamer (actor Terence Stamp), The Chameleon (Rolling Stone Mick Jagger), The Loner (Beatles manager Brian Epstein), The Snapper (photographer David Bailey) and The Blue Blood (art dealer Robert Fraser), as well as such figures as comedian Peter Cook; hairdresser Vidal Sassoon; singer Marianne Faithfull; fashion designer Mary Quant; supermodels Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy; gangsters Ron and Reggie Kray; actor Michael Caine; actresses Catherine Deneuve, Lynn Redgrave and Julie Christie; pop groups The Beatles, The Who and The Kinks; filmmakers Roman Polanski, Richard Lester and Michelangelo Antonioni; as well as the various participants in the Profumo scandal, the Great Train Robbery, the rise of LSD, the radical underground, the heyday of the gambling club and the fashion boutique and various and sundry scandals, scenes and sensations. Due to a combination of massive talent and sheer luck, they dominated the world scene. But the party was to end – after seven short years it seemed that everyone was now a Swinging Londoner and the same vibe was found in Paris, New York and San Francisco. ‘Ready, Steady, Go’ recreates the whole show and contrasts a series of emblematic lives with the great events that shaped the time. Through these stories, Shawn Levy, author of ‘Rat Pack Confidential’, shows how the city reinvented cool and then seemed to lose its swing altogether.

An Unlikely Countess: Lily Budge and the 13th Earl of Galloway (Text Only)
An Unlikely Countess: Lily Budge and the 13th Earl of Galloway (Text Only)
Louise Carpenter
¥77.01
A vivid and moving portrait of the inimitable Lily Budge, who overcame poverty and class to become the 13th Countess of Galloway, and one of Scotland's most colourful eccentrics. Randolph Stewart was lobotomized as a teenager after a crude diagnosis of schizophrenia. When the operation went wrong, he was hidden away by his aristocratic parents in a mental institution and then taken in by a sect of monks. By the time Lily Budge met him in 1975, he appeared a shy and lonely tramp. In reality he was the future Earl of Galloway, heir to a fortune and a title considered to be linchpin of the Scottish establishment. Lily, an extroverted character from a working-class family, would join him in a powerful bond of love that challenged conventions, made national headlines, and led to enormous heartache. A vibrant portrait of 20th-century Scotland, 'An Unlikely Countess' is also a profile of two unforgettable characters, and the doomed love that they shared.

Drept cadru general al discu?iei noastre propun o poetic? a traducerii. Dup? p?rerea mea, aceast? disciplin? – al c?rei teritoriu ?nc?lca (ba chiar ??nc?leca“) domeniile lingvisticii teoretice ?i aplicate, teoriei literaturii ?i crea?iei literare – se pliaz? pe modelul actului comunic?rii. Dup? cum se ?tie, actul respectiv implic? un produc?tor de mesaje, mesajul sau textul produs ?i un receptor sau lector (care arareori e unul cu totul pasiv; cel mai adesea el exercit? func?ia de interpret al mesajului ori textului).S? observ?m acum c? procesul traducerii este compus de fapt din dou? acte de comunicare ?nl?n?uite, dintre care primul se desf??oara ?n spa?iul limbii ?i culturii de plecare, adica al Limbii sursa, iar cel?lalt ?n sfera limbii ?i culturii de destina?ie, altfel spus a Limbii ?int?. Traduc?torul reprezint? veriga de leg?tura dintre cele dou? segmente, c?ci lui ?i incumb? at?t lectura ?i interpretarea textului surs?, c?t ?i producerea textului ?int?.

De la fulminantul s?u debut ca poet ?i teoretician al futurismului, Vladimir Maiakovski s-a dovedit a fi un n?valnic emanator de energii artistice, ideatice, un generos creator de metafore surprinz?toare, ?nc?t cople?ea, hipnotiza o parte a publicului; las? cu gura cascat? sute ?i sute de in?i… Era un adev?rat retor (cu ?glas de arhidiacon“, cum scria Pasternak) al noii literaturi, al futurismului rus; retor clam?nd ?n gura mare!… Acest poem tot Pasternak l-a definit ca fiind un ?nemuritor document din preclipele mor?ii“… Vladimir Maiakovski face parte din spi?a nu prea numero?ilor poe?i c?rora li se potrive?te calificativul de uria?.

G?LV?LGYI J?NOS k?tetében az olvasó átfogó képet kaphat a népszer? komikus színész egész életpályájáról, a gyerekkori indíttatásoktól kezdve a sorsfordító Ki mit tud?-on át egészen a jelent?sebb színpadi alakításokig és a paródiák kulisszatitkaiig. Gálv?lgyi k?nyve egyben f?hajtás a nagy mesterek és példaképek el?tt is. T?lük idézünk most: ?Egy jó whisky, egy finom szivar és ez a k?nyv. Mi kellhet még?” Winston Churchill ??n a hazám szolgálatáért adtam fel a színészetet. Gálv?lgyi színészként szolgálja hazáját. Ha ide születik, ma ? lenne az Egyesült ?llamok eln?ke.” Ronald Reagan ?Amikor esténként forgatók?nyvet írtam és elfáradtam, letettem a tollat. Ezt a k?nyvet nem tudtam letenni.” Charlie Chaplin ?Elfogulatlanul mondom: a Rómeó és Júlia, az Othello és a Sok h?hó semmiért után a legjobb k?nyv, amit valaha olvastam. William Shakespeare ?Gálv?lgyi egy arany ember.” Jókai Mór ?El?ítéletekkel vettem kezembe ezt a k?nyvet. Aztán mosolyogtam, majd kacagtam.” Teréz anya ?Most sajnálom igazán, hogy Kennedyt ismertem, de Gálv?lgyit sajnos nem.” Marilyn Monroe ?Aki ezt a k?nyvet nem olvassa, legyen az az ? tragédiája.” Madách Imre ?Nem tudtam, hogy kétszáz oldal is elég egy remekm?h?z.” Lev Tolsztoj

Dac? spun un adev?r incomod sunt tratat? ca un trouble-fête. Dac? regret radicalismul sau lipsa de tact de a emite un adev?r nepl?cut, mi se sugereaz? c? sunt la??. Dac? sunt vis?toare sau patetic?, mi se spune c? sunt dep??it?. C?nd sunt trist? ?i m? ascund dup? masca unei veselii debordante, mi se z?mbe?te insidios: ei, ascunde ea ceva. C?nd spun ?n gura mare ceea ce cred, sunt ?fichiuit? cu sarcasme. Iar atunci c?nd abordez teme majore, mi se sugereaz? c? sunt expirat?. Nu, nu exist? nici un fel de comunicare. La mijloc sunt, mai degrab?, ni?te savante mecanisme menite s?-?i deformeze faptele, iar, ?n ultim? instan??, imaginea, ?i s?-?i taie orice elan, pentru ca, ?ntr-un t?rziu, s? te fac? s? alegi, iar??i, singur?tatea – mam? bun?, aspr?, cald? – ?n iadul-raiul de fiecare zi.S? te re?ntorci ?n subterana ta mereu acela?i, mereu altul, tu, cel care e?ti ?i devii ceea ce e?ti. Aici e marea judecat?. ?ntre pere?ii acoperi?i cu c?r?i ?ncepe cunoa?terea. Restul sunt vorbe, fantezii, toane, divaga?ii, ?nt?mpl?ri m?runte, scurse dinspre realitatea de fum, a c?rei amintire e proasp?t? ?i-at?t de vie. Orgoliul, smerenia ?i asprimea ?ndreptat? ?mpotriva ta ??i vor fi sfetnici.Carnea trec?toare a cui sunt, Doamne? (Aura Christi)

A bájos, v?r?s hajú Répássy Rebeka szereti a magas sarkú cip?ket, a drágak?veket és a bécsi kávét. Nem szereti viszont a tenger gyüm?lcseit, a tolakodó pasikat és a felt?nést. A sors szeszélye folytán mégis egyik pillanatról a másikra az osztrák tévé képerny?jén találja magát, és a Kísérletkastély cím? valóságshow ígéretes szerepl?jeként egy ország kíséri figyelemmel minden mozdulatát. A tét Rebeka számára százezer euró, a hírnév, és váratlan ráadásként a szívfájdítóan jókép? producer, Marcus szerelme. A Bécsben dolgozó magyar lány igyekszik megállni a helyét a kereskedelmi tévék számára ismeretlen világában, ahol semmi sem az, aminek látszik: az ellenfelek barátnak álcázzák magukat, a segítség kerül? utakon jár, és még az igazi szerelem is álruhába bújik. Vajon ki mozgatja a szálakat a háttérben? Mi a szerepe az eseményekben a titokzatos újságírón?nek, Fr?ulein Lemkének? ?s vajon megtartja-e Rebeka kezdeti elhatározását, miszerint nem hajlandó szerelmeskedni a kamerák el?tt? Aki a rokonszenves Rebekához hasonlóan kedveli az osztrák f?várost, a karácsonyi hangulatot és a bécsi kávét, az kül?n?sen élvezni fogja PALOT?S PETRA izgalmakban és fordulatokban nem sz?k?lk?d? regényét.

Sidney C. Philips, an easygoing Alabama teenager, enlisted along with a friend. 'Manila John' Basilone was the son of immigrants who found happiness in the rough-and-ready life of a marine. Eugene B. Sledge watched his best friend and brother go off to war - and finally rebelled against his parents to follow them. 'Shifty' Shofner was the scion of a prominent family with a long record of military service. Ensign Vernon 'Mike' Micheel left the family farm to complete flight school. Between America's retreat from China in late 1941 and the moment that MacArthur's plane landed in Japan in August 1945, these five men fought many of the key battles of the war in the Pacific. Here, Hugh Ambrose focuses on their real-life experiences and those of their fellow servicemen, enhancing and expanding upon the story told in the HBO miniseries. Covering nearly four years of combat with unprecedented access to military records, letters, journals, memoirs, photographs and interviews, this volume offers a unique historical perspective on the war against Japan, from the debacle in Bataan to the miracle of Midway, the relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the killing fields of Okinawa - and ultimately the triumphant yet uneasy return home. These are the true stories of the men who put their lives on the line for their country, who were dispatched to the other side of the world to fight an enemy who preferred suicide to surrender; men who suffered hardship and humiliation in POW camps; men who witnessed casualties among soldiers and civilians alike; and men whose medals came at a shocking price - a price paid in full by all.
