Maurice Rostand's play in three acts, Panorama Dramatique: Casanova, performed at the Bouffes-Parisiens in 1919, compresses in small compass the outstanding incidents in the life of Casanova. The costume and set designs were the work of Art Deco legend George Barbier. Between the end of World War I and the late 1920s much of Barbier's time was claimed by theatrical design, beginning with Rostand's Casanova. Barbier's designs were originally published in 1924 as a set of 24 pochoir colour plates, now one of his rarest and most sought after works: they are here reprinted for the first time.

Levitin demuestra cómo estas afectan a nuestros vínculos sociales hasta el punto de cambiar nuestra cultura humana.

En el III Congreso sobre Lengua y Sociedad se dedicó un espacio autónomo para analizar y debatir sobre la influencia recíproca que se dispensan dos realidades con que convivimos a diario (las lenguas con las que nos comunicamos y la sociedad que nos rodea). Los trabajos de esta obra responden a diferentes aproximaciones téorico-metodológicas en el estudio de la relación lengua-sociedad: sociolingüística, análisis del discurso, bilingüismo social, consecuencias del contacto de lenguas, etc.

Many of Ronald Reagan's ways were not only unusual, but seem to contradict his others. Some authors are so perplexed by his nature they are reluctant to even assign intelligence to his mentality. They suspect he operated on everything from instinct to hunches to gut feelings and guesses. Lawrence Nesbitt's six years of extensive research has revealed a single psychological key that makes sense of the anomalies and contradictions. He has uncovered a powerful and nearly unique mindset that directed almost all of Reagan's conduct then and causes the confusion now. This unusual belief also explains how a man so old and riddled with flaws could accomplish so much and leave the presidency with an approval rating of nearly 70%, the highest of any two-term president in United States history. Nesbitt shows the controlling role this mindset played in Reagan's youth, in his years as a Hollywood actor, during his tenure as California governor, through his two terms as president, and even later. What Reagan Couldn't Tell Us offers a previously untold analysis of Reagan, one that will encourage discussion for years to come. I found Lawrence Nesbitts explanation of what made Ronald Reagan tick...

En 1951 la legendaria Nancy Cunard (Leicestershire, Reino Unido, 1896-París, 1965) realiza una traducción al inglés de la obra de don Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Ligazón, para ser montada en el Watergate Theatre de Londres. A pesar de que la lucha por verla escenificada y el intento de difusión por otros medios fracasan en última instancia, la documentación inédita acerca de este desconocido proyecto se ha conservado en los archivos que el Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center de la University of Texas at Austin mantiene de la escritora, editora y traductora británica. Gracias a la correspondencia, diarios, notas y manuscritos de los involucrados es posible reconstruir el encadenamiento de imprevisibles y desafortunadas situaciones que frustran los planes de representación y publicación. A través de este material se pueden recuperar ciertos rasgos tanto de la peculiar e idiosincrática cultura que rodea al teatro independiente en el Londres de los años cuarenta y cincuenta, como del ambiente social, político y artístico en el que la obra de don Ramón es reconocida dentro y fuera de España durante estas décadas. En estas páginas se reconstruyen las circunstancias ...

Did you know that, according to director Chris Columbus, Robin Williams improvised so much during the filming of Mrs. Doubtfire that the studio had enough footage to release PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17 versions of the movie? Or that Robin ad-libbed all his lines in Good Morning, Vietnam because the DJ the movie was based on didn’t really do comedy during his shows? Robin Williams, American Master looks at Robin’s seventy movies, from his earliest appearance in Can I Do It…’Til I Need Glasses? to his final posthumous voice-only appearance in Absolutely Anything. Each film is discussed in detail, with special emphasis on Robin’s performances and how they exist in the context of his entire body of work. Robin Williams, American Master is the perfect tour guide through Robin’s epic collection of cinematic genius.

Giacomo Casanova arrives in England in the summer of 1763 at the age of thirty-eight, seeking a respite from his restless travels and liaisons. But the lure of company proves too hard to resist and the dazzlingly pretty face of young Marie Charpillon even harder. Casanova's pursuit of this elusive bewitcher drives him from exhilaration to despair and to attempt to reinvent himself in the roles of labourer, writer and country squire. Based on a little-known episode in Casanova's life, this is a scintillating, poignant, often comic portrait of a far more complex figure than legend suggests and of the decadent society in which he operated. Beautifully written, gripping and surprising, Casanova is a superb successor to INGENIOUS PAIN.

Comprehensive account of the richness of contemporary artistic and cultural life of the "Distrito Federal", the capital city of Mexico. The edition includes a selection of works of art (audio and digital), architecture, design and cinema created by recognized names like Gabriel Orozco, Francis Alys, Teresa Margolles, Alejandro González Iñárritu, along with artwork produced by the new generations of young creators with solid proposals who have contributed in the creation of a panoramic image of the talent generated in a city perceived otherwise as violent and chaotic. Ricardo Porrero comments that the book "documents an ongoing process of professionalization and internationalization within different artistic media and creative industries -a process that began in the 1990's- on many occasions activated thanks to the self-management of the so called alternative or independent spaces; this bought in 2000 a radical change in how art and cultural products are created, exhibited and sold in commercial institutions and venues."--P. 8.
