Numero zero umberto eco6/27/2023 Un’esile storia d’amore tra due protagonisti perdenti per natura, un ghost writer fallito e una ragazza inquietante che per aiutare la famiglia ha abbandonato l’università e si è specializzata nel gossip su affettuose amicizie, ma ancora piange sul secondo movimento della Settima di Beethoven. E poi un cadavere che entra in scena all’improvviso nella più stretta e malfamata via di Milano. E nell’ombra Gladio, la P2, l’assassinio di papa Luciani, il colpo di stato di Junio Valerio Borghese, la Cia, i terroristi rossi manovrati dagli uffici affari riservati, vent’anni di stragi e di depistaggi, un insieme di fatti inspiegabili che paiono inventati sino a che una trasmissione della BBC non prova che sono veri, o almeno che sono ormai confessati dai loro autori. Un redattore paranoico che, aggirandosi per una Milano allucinata (o allucinato per una Milano normale), ricostruisce la storia di cinquant’anni sullo sfondo di un piano sulfureo costruito intorno al cadavere putrefatto di uno pseudo Mussolini. Una redazione raccogliticcia che prepara un quotidiano destinato, più che all’informazione, al ricatto, alla macchina del fango, a bassi servizi per il suo editore.

The unquiet by mikaela everett6/27/2023 Lira has been trained mercilessly since childhood to learn everything she can about her duplicate, to be a ruthless sleeper-assassin who kills that other Lirael and steps seamlessly into her life. They-and their whole planet-are slowly disappearing. But the people from the second Earth know something their duplicates do not-two versions of the same thing cannot exist. Two copies of every city, every building, even every person. The two Earths are identical in almost every way. Fans of eerily futuristic and beautifully crafted stories such as Never Let Me Go, Orphan Black, and Fringe will find themselves haunted by this unsettling debut. But she's beginning to suspect she is not a good person. For most of her life, Lirael has been training to kill-and replace-a duplicate version of herself on a parallel Earth. The stand original movie6/27/2023 "I recorded some pieces to make it work… to make it flow as its own piece." In a few cases, therefore, some of the album tracks are structured slightly differently from how they were heard in the film itself ("Sewing the Canvas," "Mid Country: By the Stream," and "Locked Up," appear to be among them, from my comparisons). The second disc contains then-previously unreleased bonus tracks compiled for the Stephen King Soundtrack Collection box set, released by Varèse in 2017, also mostly in show order.Īccording to Walden, the majority of the album consists of music taken from the original soundtrack recording, but a small percentage of them were newly revised for the 1994 album. The first disc of this album contains music in film order from the original single-disc soundtrack CD, released by Varèse Sarabande in 1994. The score is constructed around five distinctive character themes, plus a variety of ambient and aggressive motifs and musical designs, and a bit of roots-styled traveling music as well. Walden's musical palette for The Stand contrasts acoustic guitar, violin, flute, and piano, written and performed in a roots/folk/spiritual manner. “Sorry Mister, I Don't Understand” (Tom & Nick Meet) Track Listing Disc 1: The Stand - The Deluxe Edition The shape of water daniel kraus6/27/2023 Stephanie Perkins, bestselling author of There’s Someone Inside Your House “ Bent Heavens is the darkest, angriest alien horror story that I’ve ever encountered.

Common sense 17766/27/2023 Today, Common Sense remains a landmark document in the struggle for freedom, distinguished not only by Paine's ideas but also by its clear and passionate presentation. Credited by George Washington as having changed the minds of many of his countrymen, the document sold over 500,000 copies within a few months. On January 10, 1776, he published his pamphlet Common Sense, a persuasive argument for the colonies' political and economic separation from Britain.Ĭommon Sense cites the evils of monarchy, accuses the British government of inflicting economic and social injustices upon the colonies, and points to the absurdity of an island attempting to rule a continent. In 1774, he emigrated to America where, for a time, he helped to edit the Pennsylvania Magazine. Among the most influential authors and reformers of his age, Thomas Paine (1737–1809) was born in England but went on to play an important role in both the American and French Revolutions.

Rachel ashwell dishes6/26/2023 From a life-changing feature on The Oprah Winfrey Show to reclaiming her company after its recession-era bankruptcy, Rachel has weathered the highest highs and lowest lows-and she's quietly building a business that's designed to stand the test of time. Now, as the company turns 30 this year, Shabby Chic has taken on a life of its own. Rachel's dream of a quiet life was soon upended, replaced with a bigger dream: "inspiring women to put together a home that feels like a really great nest for them." She got to work, designing her own products and creating a brand that transcended slipcovers or a single storefront. "Truthfully, within three weeks of opening the store, it was like, 'Whoa, this is-this is going to be quite different.' I had to work out how to handle that." At the time, that high-low mix wasn't all that common-but it caught on like wildfire. "I like that juxtaposition of having a humble home, maybe a little cottage, but giving it that twinkly kind of glamour," Rachel explains, walking through her store. She highlighted a range of items early on, from “cheap and cheerful” table lamps to gleaming chandeliers. The designer had been working as a stylist for commercials, but she'd always been drawn to reimagining flea-market finds-her mom sold antique dolls and her dad dealt old books-so she applied that passion to her shop, Shabby Chic, selling vintage decor and slipcovered furniture. "I just envisioned a small, quiet store," Rachel says. Lady fiona carnarvon books6/26/2023 Almina oversaw 80 members of staff - many of whom came from families who had worked at Highclere for generations. At first, life at Highclere was a dizzying mix of sumptuous banquets for 500 and even the occasional royal visitor. She married the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, at 19, with an enormous dowry. She was his only daughter and he doted on her. Almina was the illegitimate daughter of banking tycoon Alfred de Rothschild. One person particularly captured Fiona's imagination - Lady Almina, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon. In that time she's become fascinated by the rich history of Highclere, and by the extraordinary people who lived there over the centuries. Lady Fiona Carnarvon became the chatelaine of Highclere Castle - the setting of the hit series Downton Abbey - eight years ago. **Explore the fascinating history of the real Downton Abbey as the Crawley family saga makes its way on to the big screen with Downton Abbey, the major motion picture** 'Bright, breezy and unpretentious' Guardian 'A loving and faithful portrait of Almina and her world' Countryfile magazine * * * * * * The story of the real Downton Abbey, told by Lady Fiona Carnarvon, chatelaine of Highclere Castle where the phenomentally successful TV series was filmed.
