Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Behind the Footlights, or the Stage as I Knew It When a tradesman opens a new shop, and is anxious to dispose of his goods, his first act is to issue to his patrons, the public, such a catalogue of his wares as will ensure the commodities being regarded in the most favourable light. He warrants everything. This rule applies with equal force to the mercantile professional, be he lawyer, doctor, divine, or simple author or artist. It behoves him to recommend his work by some cunningly-contrived . device, and to affix to his nostrum an attractive label, so as to induce the patient to swallow the potion cheerfully. And where, let me ask, can a dealer hit upon, and offer to his customer a more enticing trap-bait than in the innocent and ingenuous title Truth ? Secure under that segis, he can draw upon his imagination from St. Paul's to the Antipodes, and set down taradiddle after taradiddle with the impunity of the infallible Pope of Rome. The grocer warrants his roasted coffee free from chicory, and the confiding housewife at once plumps down upon the counter of the tea warehouse one shilling and eightpence, for sixteen ounces of the fifteenpenny mulatto-coloured abomination, with the docility of a lamb. The dairyman pops an additional penny per quart upon his "guaranteed pure milk," and the unsuspicious invalid imbibes the skim-wash with an inward assurance of its bodily nourishment and support.

Download or read book Jacques Tourneur written by Chris Fujiwara and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least three of director Jacques Tourneur’s films—Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie and The Leopard Man—are recognized as horror classics. Yet his contributions to these films are often minimized by scholars, with most of the credit going to the films’ producer, Val Lewton. A detailed examination of the director’s full body of work reveals that those elements most evident in the Tourneur-Lewton collaborations—the lack of monsters and the stylized use of suggested violence—are equally apparent in Tourneur’s films before and after his work with Lewton. Mystery and sensuality were hallmarks of his style, and he possessed a highly artistic visual and aural style. This insightful critical study examines each of Tourneur’s films, as well as his extensive work on MGM shorts (1936–1942) and in television. What emerges is evidence of a highly coherent directorial style that runs throughout Tourneur’s works.

Download or read book Anna Karenina (Literature Classics Series) written by Leo Tolstoy and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 2438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "Anna Karenina" contains 2 renowned translations of the world classic. It has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Anna Karenina is the story of a married aristocrat/socialite and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story opens when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though she would experience less tolerance by others. A bachelor, Vronsky is eager to marry her if she will agree to leave her husband Karenin, a senior government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, the moral laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, her own insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy, where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life... Widely considered a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first real novel and Dostoevsky declared it to be "flawless as a work of art".His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired "the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style", and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as "the best ever written". About the Maude translation: the translation by Aylmer Maude and Louise Shanks Maude is highly considered by scholars. This unabridged translation from the original Russian was originally published in 1918.The Maudes were classical translators of Leo Tolstoy who worked directly with the author and gained his personal endorsement. About the Garnett translation: Constance Garnett's translation of Anna Karenina is still among the best. Some scholars feel that her language is closer to the 19th-century sense of the original. Garnett translated seventy volumes of Russian prose for publication, including all of Dostoyevsky's novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women played an integral role in the theater of the Antebellum and Civil War South. Yet their contributions have largely been overlooked by history. Southern actresses were important public figures who helped mold gender identity through their theatrical performances. Although cast in parts written by men, they subverted the norms of femininity in their public personas and in their personal lives. Educated and often wealthy but never accepted by the landed elite, women distinguished themselves by carving out an in-between class status, and many proved to be sophisticated entrepreneurs. Southern actresses also helped shape racial perceptions and regional politics as the South entered the Civil War.
