Book excerpt: In Stardust Lost, Stefan Kanfer brings the colorful Yiddish stage roaring back to life. Born of ancient traditions stretching back to the drama of the Old Testament, the Yiddish theater was a vibrant part of the immigrant experience. Kanfer invokes the energy, belief, and pure chutzpah it took to establish and run the thriving, influential theaters. He reveals the nightly drama and comedy that played out behind the scenes as well as onstage, and introduces all the players—actors, divas, playwrights, directors, and producers—who made it possible. A richly evocative chronicle of its brief but dazzling existence in America, this is both an elegy for and a tribute to Yiddish theater—lost, but not forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sweet children's book "Barbie's Lost Unicorn Quest" takes place in a cute town surrounded by forests and hills. Barbie, a brave and daring young woman, and her magical horse friend Stardust are the main characters of the book. As the game goes on, Barbie and Stardust go on an adventure into the mysterious Enchanted Forest, which is full of surprises and mysteries that are hard to understand. As they meet different species that are charming, like singing flowers and talking mice, their connection with the forest grows. Their adventure takes a strange turn when they find an old, moss-covered bridge that goes to a hidden glade and a beautiful amulet with a unicorn on it. With this charm, you can start the quest that only Barbie and Stardust can finish. The Enchanted Tree, which looks out for lost unicorns, wakes up when the amulet touches it and chooses Barbie to be the chosen one. Together with Stardust, Barbie set out to find a lost horse deep in the forest. The amulet helped them along the way. As they go, they ask other people who live in the woods for advice, which emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and giving. They find Luna, the lost unicorn, bathed in silver light by the lovely stream that will take them to their last stop. Once Luna and her friends get back together, they use all of their skills to open a portal back to Hamlet, where they are made to feel very welcome. That's not the end of the story, though. In the Enchanted Forest, Barbie, Stardust, and Luna go on adventures while they work together to bring back the forest's magic. In the end, they are able to bring peace back to the forest by starting a new quest to find three old mechanical lights. Over the years, Barbie and her friends become known in town for being kind and smart, which makes them popular. The story has a lesson of wonder and hope that stresses the importance of friendship, being brave, and believing in the strange. "Barbie's Lost Unicorn Quest" is a well-known story that tells kids to value their relationships with others, enjoy nature's beauty, and stay open to the amazing things that are waiting for them. This is how the story starts: Barbie used to live in a cute town with rolling hills and lots of green trees. Barbie wasn't like other girls because she was kind and liked to try new things. Stardust, a magical horse, was Barbie's best friend and what really set her apart. Barbie and Stardust were always connected because they were friends and because they were magical everywhere they went. Stardust was beautiful to look at with his bright horn and hair. His hooves left a line of stardust behind them, and his laughter sounded like bells. When put together, they stood for the extraordinary. They laughed and went on adventures during the day. People in the town where Barbie and Stardust lived were friendly and warm, but they were aware that something strange always seemed to be present with them. In the mornings, they would explore the fields. In the afternoons, they would have picnics by the creek, and at night, they would look up at the stars. A gust of wind blew across the field one beautiful morning while Barbie and Stardust were having a picnic in their favorite spot under the shade of an old oak tree. A sheet of paper was carried by the wind. Barbie ran outside and grabbed the flying piece of paper with wide eyes. When she unfolded the paper, it showed a strange map. The complicated lines and symbols on it looked like the universe was just ready to be found. Barbie looked at the map with a racing heart. Stardust gave her a soft kiss because she could tell she was ready for an adventure. Barbie told Stardust quickly, "We need to follow this map." "It's a chance to explore the unknown and uncover the secrets of our world." Stardust agreed with a nod, and his eyes were shining with excitement. With the map in hand, they left the meadow they loved and set out on a new journey. The map led them up steep hills, through dense woods, and across sparkling streams. Every step was full of magic and wonder. Along the way, they met strange animals like talking squirrels and glowing lights that led them deeper into the unknown. Barbie and Stardust felt like they were in a fairy tale. Their friendship grew stronger every day as the magic in the woods seemed to come to life. There was a time when Barbie and Stardust found a secret glade as the sun was going down and the stars started to shine. A pretty tree with bright, shiny apples hanging from its branches stood in the middle of the glade. They saw a beautiful charm with a realistic unicorn design under the tree. When Barbie picked up the charm, her hand felt warm and tingly. Stardust gave her a soft kiss, as if to beg her to wear the charm. There was a pleasant, singing voice in the glade that seemed to come to life as she moved. Barbie and Stardust looked at each other puzzled as the Enchanted Tree sang, "Barbie, dear child, you have awakened me." The Tree then said, "I am the keeper of secrets and wonders, and you are the chosen one." Barbie and Stardust accepted their fate and set out to find the lost unicorn as the Tree sang, "In the depths of this forest lies a hidden realm, and within it resides a unicorn who has lost its wand." On their journey, they will face both difficult situations and breathtakingly beautiful scenes. They crossed interesting, suspended bridges, talked to animals that were full of wisdom, and even found a singing grove of flowers whose harmonies led them to a beautiful waterfall. "To find the lost unicorn, so rare, seek the waterfall, pure and fair, where moonbeams dance and stars alight, your friend awaits, bathed in silver light," the flowers said. Barbie gave Luna a sweet smile and said, "Don't worry." Let us help you get back to your realm. With Luna by their side, Barbie, Stardust, and Luna's magic worked together to make a portal that led them back to the village. "Thank you for finding me, dear friends. When I was following a shooting star, I got lost. My name is Luna. "I've been here ever since, unable to find my way back home," the voice of the Enchanted Tree told them. As soon as they stepped through the portal, they were back in their familiar village. When the lost unicorn was found, everyone was thrilled, and there was a lot of laughter. Barbie was additionally thrilled to learn that Luna had returned home. The unicorn Stardust had a beautiful horn that sparkled like the night sky and a mane that shimmered like silver. His hooves left a trail of stardust wherever he went, and his laughter sounded like bells. He and Barbie had been together since Barbie was a little girl. Barbie and Stardust were very close. She met him when she saw him as a little boy with big eyes. Their love was stronger than words and wen.
Book Synopsis Burning Man by : Linda Noveroske-Tritten
Download or read book Burning Man written by Linda Noveroske-Tritten and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centres on a philosophical analysis of creative acts in the Burning Man Festival and their roles in wider social change. With particular focus on the Ten Principles of Burning Man, Linda Noveroske posits a re-interpretation of common notions of “self” and “other” as they apply to identity, difference, and the ways that these personal impulses ripple outward from changing individuals into changing societies. Such radical re-imagination of ideology can be most powerful when it occurs in spaces of otherness, of heterotopia. This study casts Burning Man as a heterotopia to not only destabilizes what we think we know about visual art, performance, and creative encounters, but also bring these acts into an attitude of immediacy that facilitates previously unimagined behaviour and opens out artistic drive into the unknown. This book would be of value for scholars and practitioners in Performance Studies, Theatre and Dance, Art History, Psychology, Phenomenology, Architecture and Urban Studies.
Download or read book The Lost Comet written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-02-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a comet named Twinkle that is sent on a trip through space that is not on its known path across the infinite universe. When Twinkle strays from its planned path, it starts an adventure that goes far beyond its normal limits. This is the start of this journey of discovery and revelation. As Twinkle travels through space, it comes across many strange and supernatural events. Each one adds a new layer to the story of its journey through space. At first, Twinkle comes into touch with a fog that glows in colors she doesn't understand. This fog, which is full of bright particles, pulls Twinkle to a secret part of the universe. There she finds a bright nebula that is full of life. The first person Twinkle meets is Zara, an alien being made of light. This starts a chain of bonds that will help and inform Twinkle's journey. Zara, an old and wise star, presents Luna to Twinkle and gives her a star map to help her find her way home and travel the universe. Zara cares about others and is smart. Twinkle sets out on an adventure through the exciting and dangerous cosmos with the map in hand and some new friends. Twinkle takes on every task with courage, from surviving a terrible cosmic storm to finding a lost and lonely planet. Along the way, she learns important lessons about friendship, strength, and how everything in the universe is connected. Twinkle's journey ends with a secret path lined with stardust that not only cuts down on the time it takes to get home but also shows how beautiful the sky really is. Every step of the way brings Twinkle and her friends closer to home and deeper into the mysteries of the world. It also teaches them about the power of working together and the endless possibilities for discovery. Twinkle triumphantly comes back, not only as a comet whose orbit is over, but also as a hero whose trip has changed him. Twinkle adds to the world by telling stories about faraway planets, amazing things in space, and friendships that can't be broken. The fact that it works shows that even the smallest of us can start the biggest adventures. People can find connections in the strangest places, be curious, and always be looking for home, no matter how far they move. This is what the story of The Lost Comet is all about. Chapter 1: When Twinkle Left Twinkle was the name of a very special comet that lived very far away in the universe. You had never seen a comet like Twinkle before. Twinkle wasn't just a piece of ice and rock hurtling through space; it was a live thing that was flying at very high speeds between the stars. Once every 76 years, Twinkle would go on a beautiful trip around the sun. It flew quickly by planets and moons, leaving behind a beautiful, bright light trail that could be seen for a long time. This wasn't just something pretty to look at; it was Twinkle's way of meeting all the other spaceships it met along the way. On the other hand, Twinkle had an unexpected event happen that she had never seen before. A rogue rock showed up out of the blue while it was moving through space. This moving rock was too fast for Twinkle to keep up with. They crashed into each other! Twinkle found herself going in a different direction after the blow. Twinkle had never seen anything like this before, and it was now in a part of space that no one had explored before. In every direction, there was nothing but darkness, and no planets or stars could be seen. Twinkle was scared and lost, and she didn't know what to do. It knew exactly where it was going because it had been going around the sun for hundreds of years. But after getting sidetracked, Twinkle had her first real taste of being alone. There was no map to show where it was, and there were no directional signs to show how to get back. Twinkle was far from the sun's warm light and the Earth's blue glow, in a place where comets had never been seen before. Even though bad things happened, Twinkle stayed positive. It knew the solar system was its home, so it had to find a way back. Twinkle was ready for a brand-new trip that would take it to parts of space that had never been explored before. Twinkle had already left, but it was still determined to come back, to glide through the solar system and leave a light trail. Twinkle's biggest trip so far started out of the blue, full of unknown challenges and the chance to meet new people and explore the vast universe. Chapter 2: The Strange Mist When Twinkle went back to its unexpected trip through the vast, dark space, something amazing caught its eye. The bright, warm mist went on for a long way in front of them. Mist like this doesn't happen very often. Twinkle couldn't have thought or seen the colors shimmering in it. These weren't the normal blues and greens that you'd see on Earth or Mars. As they moved and blended, these bright, fresh colors looked like they were alive. Twinkle, who was excited and interested, felt compelled to look into the mysterious fog. So, it turned around and went straight toward the bright mist, eager to find out what it was hiding. Twinkle looked like she was being held by the fog as it came closer, which was dancing softly around her. Twirl then saw something much more amazing. There were thousands or even millions of tiny, shimmering particles in the fog. While not being stars, they sparkled like little stars. Twinkle had been to the solar system more than once, but these particles were different from anything it had seen before. Each particle gave off its own unique glow, which added to the fog's enchanting brightness. Then something unexpected happened. For some reason, Twinkle felt like there was a light pull pulling it forward. It looked more like a friendly hand was pulling Twinkle deeper into the fog than like something scary or forced. Twinkle saw that the strange fog wasn't just a cloud of gas and particles, but a way to get to a secret part of the universe. A place that not many people knew about or had the chance to visit. She thought the fog had picked her and invited her on a unique trip to find out what was out there.
Download or read book Edgar G. Ulmer written by Noah Isenberg and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar G. Ulmer is perhaps best known today for Detour, considered by many to be the epitome of a certain noir style that transcends its B-list origins. But in his lifetime he never achieved the celebrity of his fellow Austrian and German émigré directors—Billy Wilder, Otto Preminger, Fred Zinnemann, and Robert Siodmak. Despite early work with Max Reinhardt and F. W. Murnau, his auspicious debut with Siodmak on their celebrated Weimar classic People on Sunday, and the success of films like Detour and Ruthless, Ulmer spent most of his career as an itinerant filmmaker earning modest paychecks for films that have either been overlooked or forgotten. In this fascinating and well-researched account of a career spent on the margins of Hollywood, Noah Isenberg provides the little-known details of Ulmer’s personal life and a thorough analysis of his wide-ranging, eclectic films—features aimed at minority audiences, horror and sci-fi flicks, genre pictures made in the U.S. and abroad. Isenberg shows that Ulmer’s unconventional path was in many ways more typical than that of his more famous colleagues. As he follows the twists and turns of Ulmer’s fortunes, Isenberg also conveys a new understanding of low-budget filmmaking in the studio era and beyond.

Book Synopsis The A to Z of American Theater by : James Fisher
Download or read book The A to Z of American Theater written by James Fisher and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The period of 1880 to 1929 is the richest theater era in American history, certainly in the number of plays produced and significant artists, as well as in the centrality of theater in the lives of Americans. As the impact of European modernism gradually seeped into American theater during the 1880s and 1890s, more traditional forms of theater gave way to futurism, symbolism, surrealism, and expressionism. Such playwrights as Eugene O'Neill, George Kelly, Elmer Rice, Philip Barry, and George S. Kaufman ushered in the golden age of American drama." "The A to Z of American Theater: Modernism focuses on legitimate drama, both as influenced by modernism in Europe and by the popular entertainment that also enlivened the era. This is accomplished through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced entries on plays, music, playwrights, performers, producers, critics, architects, designers, and costumes." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Eleanor & Park meets Perks of Being a Wallflower in this bittersweet 1980’s story about love, loss, and a comet that only comes around every ninety-seven years. When Carrie looks through her telescope, the world makes sense. It’s life here on Earth that’s hard to decipher. Since her older sister, Ginny, died, Carrie has been floating in the orbit of Ginny’s friends, the cool kids, who are far more interested in bands and partying than science. Carrie’s reckless behavior crosses a line, and her father enrolls her in a summer work camp at a local state park. There, Carrie pulls weeds and endures pep talks about the power of hard work. Despite her best efforts to hate the job, Carrie actually feels happy out in nature. And when she meets Dean—warm, thoughtful, and perceptive—she starts to discover that her life can be like her beloved night sky, with black holes of grief for Ginny and dazzling meteors of joy from first love.
Book Synopsis Mission Afghanistan by : Elie Paul Cohen
Download or read book Mission Afghanistan written by Elie Paul Cohen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elie Paul Cohen, a Franco-British civilian emergency doctor, was in his youth an anti-militarist who evaded conscription. But decades later, his military record comes back to haunt him when it turns up in his professional dossier. In a surreal coincidence, the French, British, and Israeli secret services suddenly become interested in recruiting him, and Cohen accepts the deal the French Army offers: he can settle his accounts by serving as a liaison emergency doctor in Afghanistan. After a year and a half of training, Cohen is in 2011 deployed at Camp Bastion, the largest British Military base since World War II. His mission is twofold: First, to study Damage Control Resuscitation, a new treatment for polytraumatized soldiers that was developed by British doctors in Afghanistan. Second, to share these advanced protocols with the French Military Health Service. Combining elements of spy thriller and adventure story with reflections on the costs of war, Cohen’s memoir offers a unique perspective on the conflict in Afghanistan, and on the medical challenges presented by the expansion of terrorism into Europe and America.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of Mann by : Cary Ginell
Download or read book The Evolution of Mann written by Cary Ginell and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). More than any other musician, Herbie Mann was responsible for establishing the flute as an accepted jazz instrument. Prior to his arrival, the flute was a secondary instrument for saxophonists, but Mann found a unique voice for the flute, presenting it in different musical contexts, beginning with Afro-Cuban, and then continuing with music from Brazil, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Japan, and Eastern Europe. As Mann once said, "People would say to me, 'I don't know where you are right now,' and I would respond, 'And you're not going to know where I'm going to be tomorrow.'" A self-described restless spirit, Herbie Mann also was a master at marketing himself. His insatiable curiosity about the world led him to experiment with different kinds of sounds, becoming a virtual Pied Piper of jazz. He attracted thousands to his concerts while alienating purists and critics alike. His career lasted for five decades, from his beginnings in a tiny Brooklyn nightclub to appearances on international stages. "I want to be as synonymous with the flute as Benny Goodman is for the clarinet," he was fond of saying. By the time he died of prostate cancer in 2003, he had fulfilled his desire.
