Описание: The offbeat musicals... The stylized biopics... The visceral social dramas... The one-of-kind genre films... These are the types of films British director, writer, producer and cartoonist Sir Alan Parker has worked on. Parker is known for his humility as a director and has never considered himself an auteur. This book is the first study of his complete body of feature films (1976-2003).

Описание: A crisis erupts worldwide when a mysterious meteor-like object hits the sea off Ireland, quickly followed, globally, by thousands more, creating vast amounts of vapour but little damage. But within weeks comes a shocking realisation. Men are suddenly and inexplicably impotent, with their sperm infertile. Doctors' surgeries are now packed, and markets across the globe begin to collapse as the implications of a terminally reducing and ageing world sink in. Experts now conclude that an alien force intends to take over the world by the appalling means of destroying human reproduction. A radical idea is secretly mooted as the only possible solution - the creation of 'havens' hidden from both the aliens in space and the rest of the world, where all available stored sperm should be used to create a new military generation. But will this even work? Worse, a new nightmare is soon on its way...

Описание: I felt like I was living in a world teetering on the brink ... Life as a stay-in-bed husband turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. My wife was pregnant with a baby that possibly wasn't mine.

My old man was engaged in a war with the feminist movement that he was never going to win. And my old dear was making a lot of unexplained trips to Russia. Throw into the mix an eldest son with a possible sex addiction and three infant sons who were so thick they made me look like Edward Einstein.

I might have actually gone over the edge if it wasn't for the belief of my daughter and the challenge of helping her win the greatest prize that South Dublin has to offer - the Strictly Mount Anville glitter ball.

Описание: The music scene that sprang up across the Bay Area from 1965 to 1970 was energetic, immensely creative, and loudly outspoken. Bands needed theaters to play in, music promoters needed to get the word out about the shows, and a group of talented young artists producing dreamy, free-form work needed a medium of expression. Thus was born the psychedelic rock poster, one of the most explosively inventive, instantly recognizable, and profoundly influential aesthetic movements of the last century. A group of young visual artists provided perfectly trippy visuals to accompany soundtracks by bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, the Doors, and many more. These artists - including Lee Conklin, Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Bonnie Maclean, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, Wes Wilson, and others created a new artistic genre: the collectible rock concert poster. Some are household names today while others are largely forgotten, but the poster art that gave visual life to the amazing music lives on in Dreams Unreal .

Описание: A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling.
The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O'Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three.
Taught everywhere--from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing--it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing. The Things They Carried won France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize; it was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.

Описание: A humorist, narrator, and social observer, Mark Twain is unsurpassed in American literature. Best known as the author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain, not unlike his protagonist, Huck, has a restless spirit. He found adventure prospecting for silver in Nevada, navigating steamboats down the Mississippi, and making people laugh around the world.

But Twain also had a serious streak and decried racism and injustice. His fascinating life is captured candidly in this enjoyable biography.
