Описание: This is a Batman story like no other the harrowing and eloquent autobiographical tale of writer Paul Dini s courageous struggle to overcome a desperate situation.
The Caped Crusader has been the all-abiding icon of justice and authority for generations. But in this surprising original graphic novel, we see Batman in a new light as the savior who helps a discouraged man recover from a brutal attack that left him unable to face the world.
In the 1990s, legendary writer Paul Dini had a flourishing career writing the hugely popular"Batman: The Animated Series"and"Tiny Toon Adventures." Walking home one evening, he was jumped and viciously beaten within an inch of his life. His recovery process was arduous, hampered by the imagined antics of the villains he was writing for television including the Joker, Harley Quinn and the Penguin. But despite how bleak his circumstances were, or perhaps because of it, Dini also alwaysimagined the Batman at his side, chivvying him along during his darkest moments.
A gripping graphic memoir of one writer s traumatic experience and his deep connection with his creative material, DARK NIGHT: A TRUE BATMAN STORY is an original graphic novel that will resonate profoundly with fans. Art by the incredible and talented Eduardo Risso (100 BULLETS, TRANSMETROPOLITAN)."

Описание: Luciano Giubbilei is known for his award-winnning gardens at the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show and for his beautiful and serene gardens for private houses across the world. Since 2012 he has been working on an experimental flower bed in the famous garden of Great Dixter in East Sussex, in close collaboration with the head gardener, Fergus Garrett. In this new book he explains the devlopment of his style over the last few years - a pivotal time for his design work - and describes the philosophy by which he works.The first section contains texts and images that explore the garden at Great Dixter and Luciano's work there, across all four seasons.

The second section examines Luciano's love of craft and traditionally made objects, and - through visits to and discussion with craftsmen in the UK and beyond - explores the contribution such work makes to his garden design.The third section constitutes a wider investigation of Luciano's influences under the broad themes of water, colour and texture, illustrating with photographs and words exactly what it is about the world that inspires him and how that is manifested in his designs, with specific reference to his gardens for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2014 and the Venice Biennale in 2015. The gardens are described and illustrated in full with specially commissioned photographs by Andrew Montgomery and Carl Bengston. Full plants lists are also included.

Sufi Masters believe in 'Ali as one of the 'Seven Great Ones' in the first generation of teachers and many in orders of Dervishes trace their spiritual ancestry back to him. His ghazal that follows contains the essence of all the Sufi poetry in this book that came after him. You do not know it, but in you is the remedy; you cause the sickness, but this you don't see.

Описание: FOUR MORE SCREENPLAYS BY PAUL SMITH GOING BACK is a movie inspired by a true story of love, courage and determination set in a land at peace, Australia; and a land at war... Cambodia. It is the story of people made into refugees by war: the orphans, the old, the young and those who have lost everything and the effect that deadly landmines often have on them. It is the story of the few from America and Australia who stand up to help and love and befriend and help them. But it is mostly the amazing true story of one man who rises out of the depth of despair and through a stroke of good fortune sets off on an odyssey into a living hell and by his inventiveness and sense of humour many lives are saved and changed. Unlike other stories set in Vietnam and Cambodia that tell of war from the soldiers point of view, GOING BACK tells the tale of an ordinary man and people who act extraordinarily in the worst kinds of situations. It is a story from the recent past that could have been ripped from the headlines of today and probably tomorrow. It is an important story, a sad, funny, weird, fantastic, awful, heroic story of war and love and peace and friendship that had to be told. THE GREATEST GAME unites sport, comedy and romance with a 'lost in the wilderness' adventure. It is the story of a clash of rival codes of football (Australian and American), two sets of lovers and two cultures: the most ancient and modern. It takes up the challenge to discover... what is The Greatest Game? It is spectacular, hilarious, sexy, fast-paced and full of surprises and witty conversations. Get to know the innocent (American) youth abroad, the tough Irishman, the down-to-earth beautiful Australian female, the over-the-top sexy Southern belle and her millionaire father and the wise old aborigine, his loving grandson and many others in novel that spans 50,000 years and two continents. Who will finish up in bed with whom? What happened to the ten lost Australian Rules football players in the wilds of Tasmania that was so outrageous that they took an oath in blood never to reveal it? Who invented The Greatest Game and who kicked the greatest winning goal? What is The Greatest Game? GOLF IS MURDER Playboy and infamous U.S. golfer, Parley Brown is found dead on the 17th hole of the world famous Royal Melbourne Golf Course. Miles Driver, ex-homicide detective turned golf pro. is about to hit off in his first professional golf tournament, The Australian Open. The last thing he, or the P.G.A. or Chief Inspector Teddy Bullock needs is a murder on their hands, especially when suspects include the beautiful vice-squad cop Clare Somerville, his Scottish caddie the mysterious Spider Walker, a powerful Melbourne crime family and a dozen or so of the world's top golfers. The tournament must go on and Driver has until the end to find the killer. THE ZEN-GOLF MURDER Golfing champion and ex-homicide detective Miles Driver, his beautiful wheelchair-bound new wife Clare and his recently discovered mysterious father and caddie Spider Walker are in Japan for their Open Championship. Clare is kidnapped and Driver's new sponsor the giant Japanese golfing product corporation Fun-Tee inform him that their founder and legendary golfing master Itichi, inventor of the revolutionary and potentially lucrative Zen-Golf method of playing is also taken. Can Driver play the games of golf and love and rediscover the essence of Zen-Golf? Golf was never like this... neither was Japan, nor Zen Large Format 8" x 10" 440 pages.

Описание: THE WORD & Breaking of the Silence of Meher Baba Poems by Paul Smith (1967-2017) From July 10, 1925 until shortly before his passing in 1969, The Perfect Spiritual Master, Avatar Meher Baba, was silent. He communicated first by using an alphabet board, and later by unique hand gestures that were interpreted and spoken out by one of his mandali, usually by his close disciple Eruch Jessawala. Meher Baba said that his silence was not undertaken as a spiritual exercise but solely in connection with his inner universal work. 'Man's inability to live God's words makes the Avatar's teaching a mockery. Instead of practicing the compassion he taught, man has waged wars in his name. Instead of living the humility, purity, and truth of his words, man has given way to hatred, greed, and violence. Because man has been deaf to the principles and precepts laid down by God in the past, in this present Avataric form, I observe silence.' He declared that he would 'break his silence' with the Word of words that would be heard by all and begin a New Humanity on earth. Here are free-form poems and ghazals by Paul Smith for over 50 years about Meher Baba's Silence and the Word, along with quotes by Avatar Meher Baba and his closest disciples on his Silence and the Divine Word. Large Format Paperback 7" x 1o" Pages 318. Paul Smith (b. 1945) is an Australian poet and translator of many books of Sufi poets of the Persian, Arabic, Urdu, Turkish, Pashtu, Kashmiri and other languages including Hafiz, Sadi, Nizami, Dard, Nazir, Rumi, 'Attar, Sana'i, 'Iraqi, Jahan Khatun, Obeyd Zakani, Nesimi, Kabir, Anvari, Ansari, Jami, Khayyam, Ghalib, Iqbal, Rahman Baba, Huma and many others, as well as his own poetry, fiction, plays, biographies, children's books and a dozen screenplays. amazon.com/author/smithpa
