On My Way: The Untold Story of Rouben Mamoulian, George Gershwin, and Porgy and Bess
ISBN: 9780393240139 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Stephen Sondheim has called "Bring my goat " "one of the most moving moments in musical theater history." For years it was assumed that DuBose Heyward--the author of the seminal novella and subsequent play, Porgy, and later the librettist for the opera Porgy and Bess--penned this historic line.

ISBN: 9780520267442 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Joseph Horowitz writes in Moral Fire: If the Met s screaming Wagnerites standing on chairs (in the 1890s) are unthinkable today, it is partly because we mistrust high feeling. Our children avidly specialize in vicarious forms of electronic interpersonal diversion. Our laptops and televisions ensnare us in a surrogate world that shuns all but facile passions; only Jon Stewart and Bill Maher share moments of moral outrage disguised as comedy.
Arguing that the past can prove instructive and inspirational, Horowitz revisits four astonishing personalitiesHenry Higginson, Laura Langford, Henry...
