Book Description
“The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist

Book Description
The stars and the moon saw this happening years before it did. And for the first time in his life, he trusted celestial bodies for being damned perfect in their prediction that he was going to be happy with this woman. Eternally happy. Natagpuan ni Mira ang sariling pumapasok sa isang komplikadong sitwasyon dala ng mahigpit na pangangailangan. Magpapanggap siya bilang asawa ni Melchiorre Sandejas, CEO ng isang kompanya at isa ring pintor. Binago niya ang kanyang mukha upang gampanan ang papel. Sa pagkakaalam ni Melchiorre, siya si Casilda, ang asawang kinamumuhian. Isa lamang iyong trabaho, sinabi ni Mira sa sarili. Ngunit natagpuan niyang nahuhulog ang loob niya kay Melchiorre at tila ganoon din ang lalaki sa kanya. Paano kung matuklasan nito kung sino talaga siya? Magagawa pa ba nitong patawarin siya? At paano kung magbalik na ang totoong Casilda?

Lorca - a Dream of Life
Author: Leslie Stainton
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1448213444
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 847
Book Description
With a rare blend of grace, warmth, and scholarship, Leslie Stainton raises the stakes of our appreciation for the greatest of Spain's modern poets, Federico Garca Lorca. Drawing on fourteen years of research; more than a hundred letters unknown to prior biographers; exclusive interviews with Lorca's friends, family, and acquaintances; and dozens of newly discovered archival material, Stainton has brought her subject to life as few writers can. She describes his carefree childhood in rural Andalusia; his residencies in Madrid and Granada, then in New York, Havana, and Buenos Aires; his potent interaction with other Spanish artists, such as Salvador Dal, Luis Buuel, and the composer Manuel de Falla; and, finally, Stainton shows how Lorca's marginal political activity during the Spanish Civil War still cost him his life. Throughout, Stainton meticulously but unobtrusively relates the oeuvre to the life. Her biography is quickly becoming the standard one-volume work on the poet.

A Dream of Redemption

Pages : 253
Book Description
A forbidden love and a chilling mystery tease the senses in this sensuous historical romance from the USA Today bestselling author of A Kiss of Lies and A Love to Remember. Bookish and independent Lady Helen Hawkestone is expected to marry well. But, having grown up with warring parents, the institution holds little appeal. The trick, she realizes, is to marry for love—a task that’s easier said than done. Only while Helen is raising funds for her do-gooder sister’s orphanage does she meet a man who arouses her curiosity. Lowborn and yet so dignified that Helen can’t help but try to elicit a response, Clary Homeward is an enigma—a heart-stopping, body-stirring, forget-her-social-upbringing enigma. A single offense against a noblewoman such as Lady Helen would ruin a man like Clary. Her sister, Marisa, rescued him from hellish poverty and employs him with her charity work. Try as he might to push her away, Helen tempts him to want things he could never have. But when girls from the orphanage start disappearing, destined for a grim fate Clary knows all too well, Helen insists on helping. And soon Clary wonders whether something more were not just possible but inevitable—even right.
