Gertrude Himmelfarb 38273

One Nation, Two Cultures

A.A. Knopf, 1999. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 179. Beginning with Adam Smith, who in The Wealth of Nations described the "two different schemes or systems of morality" that prevail in all civilized societies, Gertrude Himmelfarb describes the moral divide in America that cuts through class, racial, ethnic, political and sexual lines. She shows how the cultural revolution of the 1960s generated the dominant culture of today, particularly in universities, journalism, television and film, whereas what she calls the "dissident culture" continues to promote the values of family, a civil society, sexual morality, privacy, and patriotism. The Two Cultures explores the place of religion, family and the law in American life, but states that even when there are many legitimate grievances against government, the citizenry cannot afford to illegitimize government.As she proposes democratic remedies for the moral and cultural diseases of democratic society, Himmelfarb concludes that it is a tribute to Americans that without serious social strife we remain "one nation" even as we are divided into "two cultures.".

Salman Rushdie 12575

Quichotte

Random House UK. Paperback. Pp: 416. In a tour-de-force that is both an homage to an immortal work of literature and a modern masterpiece about the quest for love and family, Booker Prize-winning, internationally bestselling author Salman Rushdie has created a dazzling Don Quixote for the modern age. Inspired by the Cervantes classic, Sam DuChamp, mediocre writer of spy thrillers, creates Quichotte, a courtly, addled salesman obsessed with television, who falls in impossible love with a TV star. Together with his (imaginary) son Sancho, Quichotte sets off on a picaresque quest across America to prove worthy of her hand, gallantly braving the tragicomic perils of an age where �"œAnything-Can-Happen�"�. Meanwhile his creator, in a midlife crisis, has equally urgent challenges of his own. Just as Cervantes wrote Don Quixote to satirise the culture of his time, Rushdie takes the reader on a wild ride through a country on the verge of moral and spiritual collapse. And with the kind of storytelling magic that is the hallmark of his work, the fully realised lives of DuChamp and Quichotte intertwine in a profoundly human quest for love and a wickedly entertaining portrait of an age in which fact is so often indiscernible from fiction.

Robert Palmer 40535

Rock & Roll

Harmony Books, 1995. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 325. Rock & Roll: An Unruly History is a full-scale salute to rock that is also a companion to the ten-part public television series, illuminating the roots of rock and exploring the "rock and roll culture" that surrounds the music. Robert Palmer, a preeminent rock critic and musician who was the chief advisor for the public television series, explores the complex creative processes that have allowed rock music to endure as a living art, fed from sources deep within nonconformist, anti-mainstream, often multiethnic American culture. By focusing on its roots and branchings, Palmer charts rock's ongoing developmental processes, showing how its many tributaries - from blues and gospel to reggae, punk, and rap - converge and connect to create the most insightful history of rock and roll ever written.

Some Like It Hot. The Official 50th Anniversary Companion

HarperCollins Publishers, 2009. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 191. Selected as America's Funniest Movie by the American Film Institute, "Some Like it Hot" remains an undisputed classic fifty years after its release, as it continues to capture three of American culture's great preoccupations-jazz, gangsters, and Marilyn Monroe. "The Official 50th Anniversary Companion" details the history of this side-splitting farce from its roots as an obscure 1951 German film to its Hollywood conception, where Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond transposed the material to the Roaring Twenties and director Wilder cast the brilliant Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon in the starring roles. As well as previously unpublished images, posters, and documents from the MGM archives, this book includes selections from the screenplay, casting notes, on-set production anecdotes, and location shots from the fabled Del Coronado in San Diego (doubling for Florida). In addition, songs and music used in the film's jazz era setting, background information on Chicago during Prohibition, the story of the Broadway and West End musical versions (one of which starred Tony Curtis), the previously undiscovered television pilot based on the movie, and the ongoing legacy of the most famous drag comedy in film history. Featuring cameo appearances by Arthur Miller, Edward G. Robinson, Al Capone, Tommy Steele, Robert Morse, Tina Louise, and Tom Hanks, "The Official 50th Anniversary Companion" is the first book to tell the full story of "Some Like it Hot" from start to finish, from wig to high heels.

Tracey Moffatt. Between dreams and reality

Skira, 2006. Paperback. Pp: 143. This monograph, which accompanies the first major Italian retrospective dedicated to multimedia artist Tracey Moffatt, collects more than 120 images from a diverse selection of the works made by the Australian artist since 1989. "Making art is quite therapeutic," says Moffatt. This brief statement reveals much of the artist's personality and refects her way of interpreting the artistic experience, a practice that often refers to personal stories and events. Of Aboriginal origins, but raised in a white family, Tracey Moffatt (Brisbane, 1960) is fascinated by the pop culture that characterized her youth. Early on, images taken from magazines, cinema and television began to constitute a symbolic universe that became a reference point in most of her works, alongside the ever present and partly autobiographical theme of ghetto-segregation lived and understood in all its aspects: racial, social, sexual. Moffatt's photographs tell fragmented stories, imagined and actual, which manage to accentuate the contrasts within our society. The cruelty and the tragedy of the subjects treated are emphasized by a refined beauty in the scene depicted, with a nod to the aesthetics of glossy magazines. With an introduction by Filippo Maggia, the monograph includes the catalog of the artist's works, followed by a biography and bibliography. ISBN: 9788876249327. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
