Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, and Cecil Beaton, as well as original sketches, letters, snapshots, and ephemera from private collections around the world and the estate of Valentina Schlee." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: FROM THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR A tale of war, of Italy, of a beautiful young woman and a terrible tragedy from the number on bestselling author of Songs of Love and War. Italy, 1945 The war is over but its shadow still lingers. And deep in the lush countryside an eccentric aristocrat is savagely murdered in his beautiful palazzo. London, 1971. Years later, this unsolved crime touches the life of Alba, a hedonistic girl who lives on a houseboat in swinging Chelsea. Between these two distinctive times runs a thread of love, decadence and betrayal that takes Alba to the olive groves of the Amalfi Coast, rich with the scent of figs, the drama of wartime and the lingering decay of tragedy. The past unfolds revealing a secret web of partisans and Nazis, peasants and counts and in the centre of it all, an alluring woman of mystery: her mother… ***PRAISE FOR SANTA MONTEFIORE*** ‘Nobody does epic romance like Santa Montefiore’ JOJO MOYES ‘An enchanting read overflowing with deliciously poignant moments’ DINAH JEFFERIES on Songs of Love and War ‘Santa Montefiore hits the spot for my like few other writers’ SARRA MANNING ‘One of our personal favourites’ THE TIMES on The Last Secret of the Deverills ‘Accomplished and poetic’ Daily Mail ‘Santa Montefiore is a marvel’ Sunday Express

Download or read book Casa Valentina written by Harvey Fierstein and published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE STORY: Nestled in the Catskills—1962's land of dirty dancing and Borscht Belt comedy—an inconspicuous bungalow colony catered to a very special clientele: heterosexual men who delighted in dressing and acting as women. These white-collar professionals would discreetly escape their families to spend their weekends safely inhabiting their chosen female alter-egos. But given the opportunity to share their secret lives with the world, the members of this sorority had to decide whether the freedom gained by openness was worth the risk of personal ruin. Based on real events and infused with Fierstein's trademark wit, this moving, insightful, and delightfully entertaining work offers a glimpse into the lives of a group of "self-made women" as they search for acceptance and happiness in their very own Garden of Eden.

To save their father’s life, a brother and sister must journey across a land full of mythical creatures and find the most powerful and dangerous of them all: the madremonte. Twelve-year-old Valentina wants to focus on drawing the real world around her and hopefully get into art school in Bogotá one day, but Papi has spent his life studying Colombia’s legendary creatures and searching for proof of their existence. So when Papi hears that a patasola—a vampire woman with one leg—has been sighted in the Andes, Valentina and her younger brother Julián get dragged along on another magical creature hunt. While they’re in the Andes, a powerful earthquake hits. Valentina and Julián fall through the earth…and find an alternate Colombia where, to Valentina’s shock, all the legends are real.

She controls the only portal back to the human world—but she absolutely hates humans, and she’ll do anything to defend her land.

Book Synopsis Behind the Bookcase by : Barbara Lowell
Download or read book Behind the Bookcase written by Barbara Lowell and published by Millbrook Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Frank’s diary is a gift to the world because of Miep Gies. One of the protectors of the Frank family, Miep recovered the diary after the family was discovered by Nazis, and then returned it to Otto Frank after World War II. Displaced from her own home as a child during World War I, Miep had great empathy for Anne, and she found ways—like talking about Hollywood gossip and fashion trends—to engage her. The story of their relationship—and the impending danger to the family in hiding—unfolds in this unique perspective of Anne Frank’s widely known story. "A historically accurate but relatively gentle introduction to the Holocaust for elementary-age readers."—Miriam Aronin, Booklist "Author and illustrator do not deny Miep Gies’s extraordinary heroism but frame it as a natural response to the events of her life and the depth of her emotional involvement in her Jewish compatriots’ tragedy."—Emily Schneider, Jewish Book Council "A solid, additional title that can serve as an introduction to Holocaust literature."—Kathleen Isaacs, School Library Journal

Book Synopsis Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina by : Margarita Tupitsyn
Download or read book Gustav Klutsis and Valentina Kulagina written by Margarita Tupitsyn and published by Gerhard Steidl Gmbh. This book was released on 2004 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the Public and the Private is the first English-language publication to address the work of the pioneering Constructivist artist, designer, photographer and photomontagist Gustav Klutsis. Unlike the work of fellow members of the Soviet avant garde, such as Aleksandr Rodchenko and El Lissitsky, Klutsis's extensive and innovative output has remained relatively unexplored. This catalogue also presents the groundbreaking but largely unknown work of Valentina Kulagina, Klutsis's wife and colleague, and explores the creative partnership that existed between the two artists. In addition to a scholarly text by curator Margarita Tupitsyn, a leading scholar of Russian art and photography who has had access to the artists' family archives, Between the Public and the Private presents, for the first time in any language, translated excerpts from Klutsis's letters and Kulagina's diaries, offering new insight on the artists and the political and cultural climate in which they were working.
