Vernon and Irene Castle's Ragtime Revolution
Author: Eve Golden
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813172691
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Vernon and Irene Castle popularized ragtime dancing in the years just before World War I and made dancing a respectable pastime in America. The whisper-thin, elegant Castles were trendsetters in many ways: they traveled with a black orchestra, had an openly lesbian manager, and were animal-rights advocates decades before it became a public issue. Irene was also a fashion innovator, bobbing her hair ten years before the flapper look of the 1920s became popular. From their marriage in 1911 until 1916, the Castles were the most famous and influential dance team in the world. Their dancing schools and nightclubs were packed with society figures and white-collar workers alike. After their peak of white-hot fame, Vernon enlisted in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps, served at the front lines, and was killed in a 1918 airplane crash. Irene became a movie star and appeared in more than a dozen films between 1917 and 1922. The Castles were depicted in the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939), but the film omitted most of the interesting and controversial aspects of their lives. They were more complex than posterity would have it: Vernon was charming but irresponsible, Irene was strong-minded but self-centered, and the couple had filed for divorce before Vernon's death (information that has never before been made public). Vernon and Irene Castle's Ragtime Revolution is the fascinating story of a couple who reinvented dance and its place in twentieth-century culture.

Irene Lucindaçio, the Daughter of Jupiter and Aphrodite
Author: Isaac Mampuya Samba
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1546288511
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Let us listen to Irene Lucindaio express herself on this subject: And again, alas! I was going to defray the chronicles of evil! In any case, I am Irene Lucindaio. I am bad luck to people. To know that, already, already, already, already, and already, I had introduced (during days of Friday the 13th) the formidable idea of the Suicidero Form, the Suicideros form, through the sad form, by the nostalgia form, and the melancholy form, in a peaceful family of thirteen persons (the Loureno familythe offspring and their parents); thirteen people, in fact, completely suicidal themselves, so to speak, decimated. And the recourse to this macabre idea, it was because of whom? It was because of me, Irene Lucindaio. But really: What rubbish that I am me? So I must be ashamed to be able to look at myself in a mirror! Thus, this Venus called Irene Lucindaio would captivate all eyes, all the attention, and (it goes without saying) all comments. And again, alas! She was going to defray the chronicles of evil; consequently, for her, gossiping gossip and the feeling of living in the depths of the abyss had become indisputable. Hence, for her, it was absolutely necessary to go away. For her, she would actually have no other alternative as a solution than that of leaving, leaving, leaving, and leaving; going far away; very far; far, far away; very, very far from her birthplace. She would go to London. Only here, her son Ernesto, where he would have stayed with his grandparents, would have become the toy of all; whats more, every night he would have horrible nightmares, with multiple names that he would remember. And so, every morning, he would wake up in the wrong way. And what to do in front of this situation?

The Disappearance of Irene Dos Santos
Author: Margaret Mascarenhas
Publisher: Popular Library
ISBN: 0446551430
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Internationally acclaimed author Margaret Mascarenhas makes her US debut with an exquisite novel set in Venezuela about the search for individual truth, love, and belonging, embodied in a fifteen-year-old girl. Irene dos Santos disappeared at age 15. Believed to have drowned while on holiday with her best friend, Lily Martinez, her body was never found. Now, years later, she appears ghostlike in Lily's dreams, prompting a quest for the truth behind her disappearance. Mysteriously, Lily, eight-months pregnant with her first child, slips and falls on the same day that the statue of Maria Lionza, Patron Saint of their Venezuelan town, cracks in two. Confined to her bed, Lily is surrounded by her family and closest friends, who agree that a Novena to Maria Lionza will guide the baby's spirit safely into the world. Together, through their nine nights of prayer, each offers a story to entertain Lily and her baby. What emerges is a vivid picture of Venezuela during a time of revolution and uncertainty-and the unraveling of the mystery behind Irene dos Santos. "The Disappearance of Irene Dos Santos is an intricately woven tale of love and memory from a deeply talented writer." -- Laila Lalami, author of Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits and Secret Son "Mascarenhas uses a 15-year-old girl's disappearance to spin a multilayered history of a Venezuelan family, incorporating folklore, political intrigue and magical realism...This family epic is immersive; no character or event is left unexplored from multiple perspectives. Indeed, the conclusion is like the final piece of an intricate puzzle." --Publishers Weekly

The Beatification Story of Irene Mary & Derrick Taylor
Author: Irene Mary Taylor
Publisher: Cometanica
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The initial foundations to the notion that Cometan's grandparents, Irene Mary Taylor and Derrick Taylor, should be recognised for their life as laypeople in the Roman Catholic Church first emerged in January 2020 and October 2021 respectively. Irene Mary was well known for her devotion to Catholicism among her family and acquaintances, yet Cometan saw in her icon and life events an opportunity to reinvigorate Catholic fervour in England and abroad. In his own endeavour as a religious figure and philosopher as the founder of Astronism, Cometan had made it clear that his paternal grandmother had played a large role in his religious life from infancy and so Irene Mary's Cause for Beatification was the culmination of this destined religious figureship. The Beatification Story of Irene Mary Taylor holds the responsibility of presenting Irene Mary for the recognition in the Roman Catholic Church in whichever capacity the Church deems suitable. The book explores the major remembered life events of Irene Mary Taylor, relates them to Catholic doctrine, and systematises them to form Irenianism, Irene Mary's eponymous Catholic system of thought.
