The Queen of Lovers "We Need You."
Author: Dr. Badal W. Kariye
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1463415559
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Preface I would like to tell you that the Queen of Lovers We need you, is a fictional romantic novel based on multichannel travels for love and espionage in our world where people practice various lifestyles in love & work. This magnificent espionage began in the United States of America where I was encountered to fall in love with the Queen of lovers who changed my lifestyle into the unknown of the dangerous world of counter espionage and betrayals among the leading intelligence communities. It wasn't easy job to fall in love with a spymaster who's been carrying out covert operations around the world, and it was very difficult challenge for me to master her underground strategic intelligence and reconnaissance while I was still interesting in love with the Queen of lovers. We'd arranged many ins and outs for our love affairs in emotional romance but we're very suspicious to divulge our normal jobs to each other until I suspected her that she was deliberately working for the government in counter espionage operations locally, regionally and globally. I didn't really like to meet with spymaster to be as my Queen of lovers in the world but everything has been predestined, and we couldn't decide who to fall in love? However; our Lord is The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful who made possible for us to interact and fall in love with each other. Romance & Lovers are extremely interconnected friendly in this world where people chose their different ways of love involvement or love discourage in envy anyhow; few people succeeded to keep their promises until one of them retires from sexual curiosity or dies. It's very rare to meet your spouse as the government spymaster, and if you didn't know before then you're highly at risk to be assassinated before you fizzle out her top level security clearance in some countries. My Queen of lovers and I went to visit different continents such as Asia, Australia, Africa, The Caribbean, South America & Parts of North America. Weve met a lot of multicultural and multiracial nationalities who committed to live and work for better democracy in love than their governments, which my Queen of lovers has been spying on. I couldn't handle the devilish stress of espionage in top secrets from the governments, which have been opposite to the national and security interests of our beloved country within the nations of many nationalities. Love in destiny or without destiny, well taste it carefully and legally but when you fall in love with spymaster then you'll always meet undetectable situations and anonymous hunters who can be anything with credentials from the government to cover up dirty jobs. Don't be a victim of spymaster! You better always ask before you make any relationship with somebody! I love my Queen of lovers finally, and you taught me a lot in governmental secrecy, and how a spymaster acts as a romantic lover to use my linguistic abilities during secretive missions in various continents. I love you my Queen!

These are the most fabulous, provocative creatures in the world of fiction, from H.

Col. William N. Selig, the Man Who Invented Hollywood
Author: Andrew A. Erish
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 029274269X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
All histories of Hollywood are wrong. Why? Two words: Colonel Selig. This early pioneer laid the foundation for the movie industry that we know today. Active from 1896 to 1938, William N. Selig was responsible for an amazing series of firsts, including the first two-reel narrative film and the first two-hour narrative feature made in America; the first American movie serial with cliffhanger endings; the first westerns filmed in the West with real cowboys and Indians; the creation of the jungle-adventure genre; the first horror film in America; the first successful American newsreel (made in partnership with William Randolph Hearst); and the first permanent film studio in Los Angeles. Selig was also among the first to cultivate extensive international exhibition of American films, which created a worldwide audience and contributed to American domination of the medium. In this book, Andrew Erish delves into the virtually untouched Selig archive at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Library to tell the fascinating story of this unjustly forgotten film pioneer. He traces Selig’s career from his early work as a traveling magician in the Midwest, to his founding of the first movie studio in Los Angeles in 1909, to his landmark series of innovations that still influence the film industry. As Erish recounts the many accomplishments of the man who first recognized that Southern California is the perfect place for moviemaking, he convincingly demonstrates that while others have been credited with inventing Hollywood, Colonel Selig is actually the one who most deserves that honor.

Mozart in the Jungle
Author: Blair Tindall
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 1555847463
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The memoir that inspired the two-time Golden Globe Award–winning comedy series: “Funny . . . heartbreaking . . . [and] utterly absorbing” (Lee Smith, New York Times–bestselling author of Guests on Earth). Oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician—from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, where musicians trade sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city. Tindall and her fellow journeymen musicians often play drunk, high, or hopelessly hungover, live in decrepit apartments, and perform in hazardous conditions—working-class musicians who schlep across the city between low-paying gigs, without health-care benefits or retirement plans, a stark contrast to the rarefied experiences of overpaid classical musician superstars. An incisive, no-holds-barred account, Mozart in the Jungle is the first true, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on backstage and in the orchestra pit. The book that inspired the Amazon Original series starring Gael García Bernal and Lola Kirke, this is “a fresh, highly readable and caustic perspective on an overglamorized world” (Publishers Weekly).
