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: This volume is a methodologically focused book that offers rich insights into the, often secret, subjectivities of men who pay for sex in South Africa. It centres on the interview context, outlining a critical reflexive approach to understanding how knowledge is co-produced by both the interviewer and the participant in research about sex.

Описание: In a debut novel from Green Writers Press by Jonathan Howland, the austere beauty and high exposure of mountain adventure provide the context and the measure for what it means to be alive for climbing partners Joe Holland and Pete Hunter -- until one of them isnt. When the book opens, its the mid-80s. Joe Holland, the novels narrator, is a climber and a seeker, but mostly hes Pete Hunters shadow. The two meet in college and spend the next ten years living at the base of any rock that appears scalable, most of them near Yosemite and Californias High Sierra. The joys and strains of their friendship comprise the novels first half. In the second, the bare bones -- obsession, grief, love, and repair -- come into stark relief when Petes grown son Will calls Joe back into climbing, into the past, and into breathless vitality.
