Rita pode ter tido de tudo, menos uma “vidinha besta”. E os últimos anos foram, sim, desafiadores. Ao mesmo tempo que o mundo passava por uma pandemia, ela foi diagnosticada com câncer no pulmão. Em um texto franco, ora cru e chocante, ora cheio de ironias, ora sutil e amoroso, Rita Lee não poupa detalhes de seu tratamento. Fala também da rotina, dos avisos do Universo, de seres de luz e dos caminhos que a vida tomou.

Poco antes de la medianoche del 28 de marzo de 1977, un amigo encontró moribundo al compositor Waldo de los Ríos en el dormitorio de invitados de su casa madrileña. Desde hacía varios meses, De los Ríos atravesaba una mala racha: había adelgazado mucho, bebía, trasnochaba, tomaba constantemente tranquilizantes y se sentía amenazado por unas extrañas llamadas telefónicas de las que no daba muchos detalles.

Le mani che si bloccano sulla tastiera di un pianoforte e si rifiutano di suonare, durante un concerto in Giappone. Una crisi di ansia, una contrattura di ogni muscolo, persino quelli della creatività. Che succede? Per venirne a capo, il protagonista di questo libro si rifugia in una casa di campagna. Solo, circondato da una natura brulla, tenta di sintonizzare di nuovo mente e corpo, per riprendere a comporre e suonare, ma gli incubi lo perseguitano e l'incertezza aumenta. Finché un giorno, nel silenzio di una radura, una voce lo prega: "Accudiscimi".

Many recognize Stan Lee as the face of Marvel. Yet Jack Kirby is the one who did a lot of the hard work in creating such heroes as Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Ant-Man. While Lee was the public face for what became the multimedia brand, Kirby’s legacy is relegated to the shadows. Much like Bill Finger of Batman and Gene L. Coon of Star Trek, this man doesn’t get enough credit. A man who gave everything to the comic book industry. This book hopes to shed some light on his life and career.

London has harbored many curious characters, but few more curious than the artist and visionary Austin Osman Spare (1886-1956). A controversial enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world, the young Spare was hailed as a genius and a new Aubrey Beardsley, while George Bernard Shaw reportedly said "Spare's medicine is too strong for the average man." But Spare was never made for worldly success and he went underground, falling out of the gallery system to live in poverty and obscurity south of the river.

The world of show business has never been easy for anyone. Once given the chance, one must take care of it the same way one takes care of valuable things. One great mistake can affect your whole career, no matter how high your achievements are. Johnny Depp is considered one of the most renowned and successful actors in terms of box office, in which he draws recognition. He has formed a solid bond with moviegoers who span over several generations, because of his ability to absorb himself into a particular assortment of dynamic characters.

Jean Renoir's career almost spans the history years of cinema - from the early silent movies, to the naturalism of the talkies, committed cinema, film noir, Hollywood studio productions, the Technicolor-period comedies and fast television techniques. His film The Grand Illusion remains one of the greatest movies about the effects of war.

With outrageous anecdotes about everyone from Leonardo Da Vinci to Caravaggio to Edward Hopper, Secret Lives of Great Artists recounts the seamy, steamy, and gritty history behind the great masters of international art. You'll learn that Michelangelo's body odor was so bad, his assistants couldn't stand working for him; that Vincent van Gogh sometimes ate paint directly from the tube; and Georgia O'Keeffe loved to paint in the nude. This is one art history lesson you'll never forget!
