I don't hesitate to call it a masterpiece' Telegraph After her grandmother died, Hadley Freeman travelled to her apartment to try and make sense of a woman she'd never really known. Sala Glass was a European expat in America - defiantly clinging to her French influences, famously reserved, fashionable to the end - yet to Hadley much of her life remained a mystery.
Sala's experience of surviving one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history was never spoken about. When Hadley found a shoebox filled with her grandmother's treasured belongings, it started a decade-long quest to find out their haunting significance and to dig deep into the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. The search takes Hadley from Picasso's archives in Paris to a secret room in a farmhouse in Auvergne to Long Island and to Auschwitz.
By piecing together letters, photos and an unpublished memoir, Hadley brings to life the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alex's past as a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; trusting and brave Jacques, a fierce patriot for his adopted country; and the brilliant Henri who hid in occupied France - each of them made extraordinary bids for survival during the Second World War. And alongside her great-uncles' extraordinary acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley discovers her grandmother's equally heroic but more private form of female self-sacrifice. A moving memoir following the Glass siblings throughout the course of the twentieth-century as they each make their own bid for survival, House of Glass explores assimilation, identity and home - issues that are deeply relevant today.

This book shows how to wear shorts without looking like an extra in "Hamlet", what to spend money on, and what not to, and why only harpists should wear velvet.

Автор: Freeman Hadley Название: Life Moves Pretty Fast: The Lessons We Learned from Eighties Movies (and Why We Don`t Learn Them from Movies Anymore) ISBN: 1501130455 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501130458 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Цена: 13030.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: From "Vogue" contributor and "Guardian" columnist Hadley Freeman, a personalized guide to eighties movies that describes why they changed movie-making forever featuring exclusive interviews with the producers, directors, writers and stars of the best cult classics. For Hadley Freeman, movies of the 1980s have simply got it all. Comedy in "Three Men and a Baby," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Ghostbusters," and "Back to the Future"; all a teenager needs to know in "Pretty in Pink," "Ferris Bueller s Day Off," "Say Anything," "The Breakfast Club," and "Mystic Pizza"; the ultimate in action from "Top Gun," "Die Hard," "Beverly Hills Cop," and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"; love and sex in "9 1/2 Weeks," "Splash," "About Last Night," "The Big Chill," and "Bull Durham"; and family fun in "The Little Mermaid," "ET," "Big," "Parenthood," and "Lean On Me." In "Life Moves Pretty Fast," Hadley puts her obsessive movie geekery to good use, detailing the decade s key players, genres, and tropes. She looks back on a cinematic world in which bankers are invariably evil, where children are always wiser than adults, where science is embraced with an intense enthusiasm, and the future viewed with giddy excitement. And, she considers how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about society s changing expectations of women, young people, and art and explains why "Pretty in Pink" should be put on school syllabuses immediately. From how John Hughes discovered Molly Ringwald, to how the friendship between Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi influenced the evolution of comedy, and how Eddie Murphy made America believe that race can be transcended, this is a highly personal, witty love letter to eighties movies, but also an intellectually vigorous, well-researched take on the changing times of the film industry ("The Guardian")."
