Описание:
The legendary Hollywood star blazes a fiery trail in this enthralling portrait of a brilliant actress and the movies her talent elevated to greatness
In "Dark Victory," noted film critic and biographer Ed Sikov paints the most detailed picture ever delivered of Bette Davis, the intelligent, opinionated, and unusual woman who was in the words of a close friend "one of the major events of the twentieth century." Drawing on new interviews with friends, directors, and admirers, as well as archival research and a fresh look at the films, this stylish, intimate biography depicts Davis's personal as well as professional life in a way that is both revealing and sympathetic.
With his wise and well-informed take on the production and accomplishments of such movie milestones as "Jezebel," "All About Eve," and "Now, Voyager," as well as the turbulent life and complicated personality of the actress who made them, Sikov's "Dark Victory "brings to life the two-time Academy Award winning actress's unmistakable screen style, and shows the reader how Davis's art was her own dark victory."

Описание: "Dorothy leaned in, her velvety lips touching mine. Our kisses were deep, Dorothy cradling me in her arms. The hem of her silky nightgown trailed against my legs, her bare calf rubbing against my skin." It's the summer of 1958 and amateur guitarist/songwriter Alice Johnson feels like a stranger in her small Southern town. Everyone knows her business and is pushing her to settle down and marry like all young women are supposed to do. Only Alice's love of music provides an escape from the stifling expectations of family and society. One night, Alice hears the mesmerizing voice of up-and-coming country singer Dorothy Long and is immediately entranced. Dorothy becomes Alice's muse, inspiring her to write songs for Dorothy--even though she never imagines that Dorothy will hear them. But then she meets one of Dorothy's band members who takes a liking to her and brings her to Dorothy's room for an impromptu audition. Dorothy is so impressed by Alice's talent that she invites her to join the band. And Alice is so overcome by Dorothy's talent and beauty that she says "Yes" in a heartbeat. Alice is soon caught up in the whirlwind of a tour--and the unexpected desires she feels sharing a hotel room with her idol. Alice believes that "music be the food of love." But is Alice setting herself up for a feast--or a famine? Bella's Bette Hawkins is the popular author of Like a Bookand No More Pretending.

Описание:
Using case study projects, architect Urs Bette gives an insight into the epistemological processes of his creative practice and unveils the strategies he deploys in order to facilitate the poetic aspects of architecture within a discourse whose evaluation parameters predominantly involve reason. Themes discussed include the emergence of space from the staged opposition between the architectural object and the site, and the relationship between emotive cognition and analytic synthesis in the design act. In both cases, there is a necessary engagement with forms of 'unreasonable' thought, action or behaviors.
By arguing for the usefulness and validity of the unreasonable in architecture, and by investigating the performative relationship between object and ground, Bette contributes to the discourse on extensions, growth and urban densification that tap into local histories and voices, including those of the seemingly inanimate - the architecture itself and the ground it sits upon - to inform the site-related production of architectural character and space. In doing so, he raises debates about the values pursued in design approval processes and the ways in which site-relatedness is both produced and judged.
