Book excerpt: Inspector Strangelove is an adaptation by Rolf McEwen of The Inspector General by Nikolai Gogol. The plot revolves around a case of mistaken identity in which an impoverished young civil servant from Saint Petersburg, Klestakov, is thought by the leaders of a small village to be an important government inspector. It's a terrible mistake that costs them dearly. The government officials fear the consequences of a visit by an inspector because he might uncover the corruption of which they are guilty. Klestakov, when he realizes that they have mistaken him for an inspector, makes the most of the situation. He creates exaggerated tales of his life as a high-ranking government official. He solicits bribes from village officials. In a bold and reckless gesture, he proposes to the governor's daughter. He flees the village before his true identity can be discovered. The townspeople realize their mistake soon after he is gone. Then a shocking twist of fate falls upon the officials of this humble village in Russia.

Book excerpt: Peter Sellers was a genius, whose unique mastery created enduring comic characters. But behind the man that could make the world laugh was a tragic sadness. Employing his creations as masks to hide behind, Sellers was convinced his own life was meaningless and empty. Acclaimed (On Sunset Boulevard - the story of Billy WIlder) biographer Ed Sikov has spoken to many who knew and worked with Sellers, including Sophia Loren, Goldie Hawn, and Roman Polanski. Sikov reveals how Sellers was a casualty of his own insecurities and used his public persona to mask his tormented private life, littered with four marriages (and three divorces), countless affairs, and drug and alcohol abuse. This is the authoritative and touching story of a majestic comedian, showing the very private face of a man whose world was lived through the public arena. 'An authoritative biography and a compulsive page turner.' Michael Palin, New York Times 'Sikov's book is often melancholy, but always informative, and entertaining... They don't really make 'em like that any more - you can't get the wood you know' Simon Louvish, Guardian

Book excerpt: Stanley Kubrick had a great talent for creating memorable images--such as his famous jump cut from a bone tossed into the prehistoric sky to a spaceship orbiting the earth in 2001. Like the composer of a great symphony, Kubrick also had the ability to draw his memorable moments into a lyrical whole. Balancing harmony with discord, he kept viewers on edge by constantly shifting relationships among the dramatic elements in his movies. The results often confounded expectations and provoked controversy, right up through Eyes Wide Shut, the last film of his life. This book is an intensive, scene-by-scene analysis of Kubrick's most mature work--seven meticulously wrought films, from Dr. Strangelove to Eyes Wide Shut. In these films, Kubrick dramatized the complexity and mutability of the human struggle, in settings so diverse that some critics have failed to see the common threads. Rasmussen traces those threads and reveals the always shifting, always memorable, always passionately rendered pattern.

Book excerpt: Delaney Nichols faces off against an elusive arsonist in the seventh Scottish Bookshop Mystery, The Burning Pages, from beloved author Paige Shelton.... One winter's night, bookseller Delaney Nichols and her coworker Hamlet are invited to a Burns Night dinner, a traditional Scottish celebration of the poet Robert Burns. She's perplexed by the invitation, but intrigued. The dinner takes place at Burns House itself, a tiny cottage not far from the Cracked Spine bookshop but well hidden. There, it becomes clear that Delaney and Hamlet were summoned in an attempt to make amends between Edwin, Delaney's boss, and one of the other invitees, who suspected Edwin for burning down his own bookshop twenty years ago after a professional disagreement. But after the dinner, there’s another fire. The Burns House itself is burned to the ground, and this time there’s a body among the ruins. When Hamlet is accused of the crime, Delaney rushes to prove his innocence, only to discover that he might actually have a plausible motive...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American culture changed radically over the course of the 1960s, and the culture of Hollywood was no exception. The film industry began the decade confidently churning out epic spectacles and lavish musicals, but became flummoxed as new aesthetics and modes of production emerged, and low-budget youth pictures like Easy Rider became commercial hits. New Constellations: Movie Stars of the 1960s tells the story of the final glory days of the studio system and changing conceptions of stardom, considering such Hollywood icons as Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman alongside such hallmarks of youth culture as Mia Farrow and Dustin Hoffman. Others, like Sidney Poitier and Peter Sellers, took advantage of the developing independent and international film markets to craft truly groundbreaking screen personae. And some were simply “famous for being famous,” with celebrities like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Edie Sedgwick paving the way for today’s reality stars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hello there, Micah here. I'm supposed to say something that gives you an idea of what this book is about and try to convince you to buy it. So let's start with a simple statement, shall we? This book is filled with comedy, drama, action, suspense, and sheep. No, really...it is. But, more than that, this book is about cutting the crap and getting to the point. So, why not start at the description? This is a book about an artist struggling to come to grips with adulthood, marriage, divorce, family, friends, love, mental illness, and society in general. In short; life. I know, it sounds depressing. But really, it's filled with humor as well. I mean, how many biographies involve spontaneous indoor rain? Airborne yogurt? Random public nudity? Oh, yes, and a complete discussion on the proper use of profanity? These pages detail the story of my journey through life. Oft-times a bumpy and scary ride; but filled with discoveries great and small. Everything in here is true, as unbelievable as some of it might seem. So why don't you crack the book open and have a closer look? -Micah P.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Hugo-award winning, epic New York Times Bestseller and basis for the BBC miniseries, two men change England's history when they bring magic back into the world. In the midst of the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, most people believe magic to have long since disappeared from England - until the reclusive Mr. Norrell reveals his powers and becomes an overnight celebrity. Another practicing magician then emerges: the young and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's pupil, and the two join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wild, most perilous forms of magic, and he soon risks sacrificing his partnership with Norrell and everything else he holds dear. Susanna Clarke's brilliant first novel is an utterly compelling epic tale of nineteenth-century England and the two magicians who, first as teacher and pupil and then as rivals, emerge to change its history.

Book excerpt: Lovely young Lydia Languish resists all attempts by her guardians to select a suitable husband for her. Although she comes from a wealthy family, she considers it more romantic to choose a man from among the lower class. She pursues a relationship of passion and romance rather than seeking a fellow from her own social class who would inherit wealth and position. Her arrogant aunt, Mrs. Malaprop (famous for her use of misapplied terms known as "malapropisms"), strives by various means to force Lydia into submission. She is assisted by an old friend, Anthony Absolute, whose handsome young son, Captain Jack Absolute, serves in the military. Jack has taken a fancy to Lydia, and has adopted an alias, Lieutenant Bonny, because he wishes to pursue her. He knows she will not see him if she knows him to be a member of the upper class, so he pretends to be a lowly lieutenant. Bonny and Lydia carry on a secret romance, but a quarrel created intentionally by Lydia keeps them apart. Lydia's cousin Julia sympathizes with Lydia for the many troubles she must endure. Julia is engaged to be married to Fred, who is obsessed with her and is overcome with insecurity and jealousy. Mrs. Malaprop has suitors of her own which she attempts to conceal from Lydia. A clever servant, Lucy, carries letters between the lovers while she manipulates circumstances for financial benefit. She mixes things up mischievously and delightfully. Several men nearly come to violence in pursuit of their women. Romance and wit abound in this humorous play adapted in a modern version by Rolf McEwen from The Rivals by Richard Brinsley Sheridan. This version is set in England in 1910.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy Batson discovers a secret in a forgotten subway tunnel. There the young man meets a wizard who offers a precious gift: a magic word that will transform the newsboy into a hero. When Billy says, "Shazam!," he becomes Captain Marvel, the World's Mightiest Mortal, one of the most popular comic book characters of the 1940s. This book tells the story of that hero and the writers and artists who created his magical adventures. The saga of Captain Marvel is also that of artist C. C. Beck and writer Otto Binder, one of the most innovative and prolific creative teams working during the Golden Age of comics in the United States. While Beck was the technician and meticulous craftsman, Binder contributed the still, human voice at the heart of Billy's adventures. Later in his career, Beck, like his friend and colleague Will Eisner, developed a theory of comic art expressed in numerous articles, essays, and interviews. A decade after Fawcett Publications settled a copyright infringement lawsuit with Superman's publisher, Beck and Binder became legendary, celebrated figures in comic book fandom of the 1960s. What Beck, Binder, and their readers share in common is a fascination with nostalgia, which has shaped the history of comics and comics scholarship in the United States. Billy Batson's America, with its cartoon villains and talking tigers, remains a living archive of childhood memories, so precious but elusive, as strange and mysterious as the boy's first visit to the subway tunnel. Taking cues from Beck's theories of art and from the growing field of memory studies, Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia explains why we read comics and, more significantly, how we remember them and the America that dreamed them up in the first place.
