The Classic John Barrymore Swashbucklers of the 1920s: Old Hollywood in Color 5
ISBN: 9781481166546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Think of swashbuckler films - loosely defined as an adventure story set in the past - and images of Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power come to mind. Yet to give credit where it's due, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. invented the genre, and John Barrymore rivaled him by starring in some of the finest swashbucklers during its first decade in the 1920s. The titles of his films are still names to conjure with: THE SEA BEAST, DON JUAN, WHEN A MAN LOVES, THE BELOVED ROGUE, and several more. And John Barrymore alone has the distinction of making swashbucklers that span the silent and sound film eras. This volume...

Yours Most Sincerely: Autographed Images from Old Hollywood
ISBN: 9781467907576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This second volume in our OLD HOLLYWOOD IN COLOR series offers an appreciation of the first era of film stars from the 'teens through the 1920s. Studios were quick to exploit the public's fascination with popular movie celebrities and reinforced this interest by supplying autographed photos from the stars themselves. Although many of the signatures were facsimiles, like the movies themselves, these photos created the illusion of an acquaintance, a link, perhaps even a bond between celebrity and fan. All photographs have been digitally restored and many are color enhanced. Among the stars...

ISBN: 9781468055511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many of us baby boomers learned to play a musical instrument in our youth, and typically left that skill behind with our youth as well. Yet today studies have established that learning a musical instrument is one of the best ways to keep the aging brain agile and retentive.

The Parson of Styx Crossing
ISBN: 9781494863470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Homesteaders in a small Texas settlement had a hard life but a gruff clergyman proved helpful. They knew him as "the Parson" and assumed he was an itinerant preacher, but he was something more. The challenges of frontier life in the 1870s pit men and women against the forces of mother nature, human nature, and their own spiritual struggles. The more the parson became involved in their lives, the more they came to believe that he walked with God.

Confessions of An Imaginary Impresario: : Going From Hate to Love of Classical Music
ISBN: 9781475194791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With the exception of heavy metal, there is perhaps no form of music that polarizes opinions more than classical music in general, and operatic music in particular. Yet when one asks what type of classical music is most objectionable, the reply is often surprise that there are categories of this music genre in the first place. The fact is that even classical music fans will have their dislikes, not only of certain types of music but of composers and conductors. In other words, it's not unusual to dislike certain types of classical music while being a big fan of others types. Listening to...
