One of my favorite books
After reading the Book of Air and Shadows, I looked for another book by Michael Gruber and found this one. After a few minutes I caught onto the joke and had a great deal of fun as Gruber brought in characters from fairy tales both well known and obscure. The tone and style was so different from Air and Shadows I couldn't believe it was the same author. Both books are a great joy and now I need to get the balance of Gruber's work to satisfy the hunger for his work

Chapters: Ghostwriter, Lynn Vincent, Neil Strauss, Phillip Thomas, Micol Ostow, Donald Bain, Michael Gruber, Pablo Fenjves, Clifford Thurlow, Al Stump, Jim Mullaney, Maryanne Vollers. Excerpt:Al Stump (October 20, 1916 December 14, 1995), was an American author and Sports writer . Stump spent a great deal of time with Ty Cobb before Cobb's death. Stump wrote two books on Cobb and a handful of magazine articles about the time the two men spent together. The books are titled My Life in Baseball: The True Record and Cobb: A Biography . My Life in Baseball was ghostwritten by Stump. Cobb: A Biography was a follow up piece written after Cobb died. It was a reflection by Stump on his time with Cobb. The Stump autobiography came out a few months after Cobb's death. Thirty years later, Stump revised the book and included his own experiences with Cobb. Work with Cobb Stump found Cobb rather difficult to work with most of the time and totally impossible when drunk. Despite the troubles, Stump stuck it out mostly because he feared Cobb's reaction if he tried to leave. From the time the two spent together we now have two books and a movie, each of which offers a slightly different point of view of Cobb's life. During a visit to the Cobb family mausoleum in December 1960, Cobb told Stump about the murder of his father, and pointed the finger at his mother. Cobb had used the mausoleum as an attempt to reunite his family members in death, disinterring some of them to do so. The Stump autobiography came out a few months after Cobb's death. Despite Cobb's unpleasantness, the book ( My Life in Baseball by Ty Cobb) painted Ty in a sympathetic light. Thirty years later, however, Stump extensively revised the book ( Cobb: A Biography ), including his own experience with Cobb and capturing the man who was so... ... Read more

Extrait : Bertolt Brecht (né Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht le 10 février 1898 à Augsbourg, en Bavière - 14 août 1956 à Berlin-Est) était un dramaturge, metteur en scène, critique théâtral et poète allemand du siècle. Bertolt Brecht est d'origine bourgeoise, fils d'un père catholique, dirigeant d'une fabrique de papier, et d'une mère protestante. Il commence à écrire très tôt (son premier texte est publié en 1914) et entame des études de philosophie puis de médecine à Augsbourg. En 1918, à vingt ans, il est mobilisé à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale comme infirmier. L'horreur de la guerre aura comme pour les surréalistes français, une grosse influence sur lui. La même année, il écrit sa première pièce, Baal, dans un style lyrique qu'il délaissera par la suite. Il chante des écrits pacifistes à Augsbourg puis à Munich et rompt les liens qui l'attachaient encore à sa famille. Suivent les pièces Tambours dans la nuit en 1919 qui lui vaut le prix Kleist en 1922, Spartacus et Dans la jungle des villes. Ces trois premières œuvres montrent son côté anarchiste. Il est alors très influencé par Erwin Piscator ou Max Reinhardt. Il ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
"Jane Doe was a promising anthropologist, an expert on shamanism. Now she's nothing, a shadow: after faking her own suicide, she's living under an assumed identity in Miami with a little girl to protect. Everyone thinks she's dead. Or so she hopes." "Then the killings start, a series of ritualistic murders that terrifies all of Miami. The investigator is Jimmy Paz, a Cuban-American police detective. There are witnesses, but they can recall almost nothing of the events, as though their memories have been erased - as if a spell has been cast on each of them. Equally bizarre is the string of clues Paz uncovers: a divination charm, exotic drugs found in the bodies of the victims, a century-old report telling of a secret place in the heart of Africa." These clues point Paz inexorably toward the fugitive, Jane Doe, and force Jane to realize that the darkness she has fled is seeking her out, hunting her down. By the time her path intersects with Jimmy Paz's, the two will be thrust into a cataclysmic battle between good and an evil unimaginable to the Western mind. ... Read more

Admirer of The "Amazing" Photo Museum
The book's editors explain that this is the collection of photographs they would bring together and house in one museum, if that were possible.Instead of bringing together a physical collection, the editors create a printed anthology that can serve as the ultimate photography textbook.If used as a textbook, The Imaginary Photo Museum can teach anyone with patience how to see a photograph and ultimately how to be a photographer.

I am a self-taught photographer, and my first instruction book was The Imaginary Photo Museum.From this book, I learned to love exceptional photographers: Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy -- too many to list.I didn't realize it at the time, but I also fell in love with settings: New York, Paris, and the American West, in particular.

From the "Chronology" section of the book, I learned photography's beginnings in the 1830s and examined the path of time to the late 1970s, which is where the book leaves off, just before its original publication in 1981.To dramatize the distinction, the book divides and sections off black and white photography from color photography.I took notice of this sharp contrast in arrangement and learned to see the two methods differently.The book's layout also taught me ways to categorize photographs via chapters on objects, nudes, landscapes, portraits, cities, events, and "visions," or abstractions.

In some ways, owning a book of reproductions is better than a visit to a museum to view originals.In my near-sighted way, I've spent hours poring over the photographs in the book.By close examination, I recognized the importance of lighting in photography.I internalized camera angles and distance without learning any vocabulary for what I remembered.I learned to look for contrast and how it can be used to direct a viewer's attention.By being able to spend time with the book, I learned to study detail in a way that no trip to a museum could ever teach me.

This is an amazing book, and I'm sorry it has been out of print for a long time.
