Ingmar Weyland | 5489 comments Lizzie Borden, Past & Present: A Comprehensive Reference to the Life and Times of Lizzie Borden Annotation -

It was the morning of August 4, 1892 in Fall River, Massachusetts, when Lizzie Andrew Borden discovered her father, Andrew J. Borden, murdered on the sitting room sofa. Her stepmother, Abby Borden, was also found murdered in the family's second floor guestroom. One week later, Lizzie was charged with the murders. She was tried in June 1893 and was acquitted by an all-male jury. She returned to her home shortly thereafter and later moved with her sister Emma, to the "Highlands" on French Street. This was an area where the wealthy bankers, mill owners, businessmen and lawyers resided. Lizzie remained in Fall River for almost 35 years leading a secluded life with her servants, and chauffeur. Lizzie Borden died at her home in 1927 but the murders were not forgotten.

In 1893, Edwin H. Porter, a police reporter for the Fall River Daily Globe, published The Fall River Tragedy. This was followed by Todd Lunday's The Unveiled Mystery in 1893. The Fall River Daily Globe published yearly articles on August 4 reminding the public of the brutal double murders and that the murderer was still lurking about the city and free. It was librarian and writer, Edmund Lester Pearson who kept the Borden case in print beginning with Studies in Murder (1924) and ending with The Trial of Lizzie Borden in 1937. Writers such as Edward Radin, Victoria Lincoln, David Kent and Arnold Brown have all published their accounts on the Borden case. Published works, newspaper articles, periodicals, Borden trivia, interpretive works, radio dramatizations, television programs and films continue to surface periodically.

Lizzie Borden, Past and Present takes the reader on a documented journey to the people, places, events, literature and interpretive works prior to the murders and continues to the present. This is the first time a book has been made available that provides access to the new and extensive information, literature, and facts surrounding the Borden case. It connects the past with the present oftentimes clarifying, proving and on occasion, disproving that which has been in print or has been perceived to be true.

Title: Диалоги с Владимиром Спиваковым

Description: Владимир Спиваков - выдающийся скрипач и дирижер, удостоенный множества наград. Одна из самых харизматичных личностей в современном музыкальном мире. Его талантом восхищались великие Давид Ойстрах, Леонард Бернстайн, Иегуди Менухин. Создатель камерного оркестра "Виртуозы Москвы", основатель, художественный руководитель и главный дирижер Национального филармонического оркестра России. Соломон Волков - писатель, автор книг-диалогов с Иосифом Бродским, Дмитрием Шостаковичем, Джорджем Баланчиным, а также книг-исследований по истории русской культуры - от царствования дома Романовых до наших дней. "Я знаю Спивакова уже пятьдесят пять лет, и мы провели в откровенных разговорах не одну сотню часов. Но он до сих пор для меня - человек-загадка. Он целен и целеустремлен, он умница и эрудит, боксер, художник и философ. Стойкий, лояльный друг. С ним легко говорить. С ним можно помолчать. Он часто сомневается в себе. Ищет ответы на трудные вопросы, которые сам себе задает. Ошибается. Мучается потом... И старается не повторять своих ошибок. Эта книга - попытка заглянуть в душу Спивакова поглубже. Уяснить для себя и других корни его феноменального успеха и причины его уникальной позиции в современном искусстве". (Соломон Волков)

Ingmar Weyland | 5489 comments Stratagem of the Corpse: Dying with Baudrillard, a Study of Sickness and Simulacra
Annotation:

This book is unique in its dedicated tackling of the subject of death in the work of Jean Baudrillard. Through new readings of his work, the book makes so patently clear the importance of Baudrillard’s tendency to poeticize, his core indebtedness to Georges Bataille, Alfred Jarry, and others, and his reliance on paradox. Ultimately, Stratagem of the Corpse is less a making sense of death and more a transcript of what occurred when death made sense of us, a reverse thanatology in which death delineates the variant forms of our encroachment, not so much death as seen by Baudrillard but Baudrillard as seen by death.

Ekaterina Okuneva (okuneshku) | 3804 comments #254-255 - non-matching isbn
#256-262 done
#263 cover added, but we don't add page count from amazon unless it's a Kindle. There is no page count on Worldcat, either.
#264 done
#265 done, ISBN is already taken by another book (it was used twice), I've added a note about that
#266-268 done
#269-270 links are not working, probably this series was deleted because GR series must share universe, characters, plot, etc. If it's a series with books of multiple authors of similar genre, it's not a series for GR. Sometimes it might be added as edition, but not necessarily.
#271-277 done
#278 - this ASIN is already on GR, duplicate without ASIN will be merged soon, done
#279 done

Ingmar Weyland | 5489 comments Old Fears Cover and annotation:

There's a sider so big it fills the mouth of the culvert. It's so shiny black that it looks covered with oil, but when it touches you...
You dangle your arm off the bed and there are things in the night, waiting for you to go to sleep...
In the fruit cellar, back in the far, deep corner where a shaft of sunlight never touches, and where it is so black for shadows... back there... it moves...


Old fears. Scaly things that seem dead until they are prodded. Adults cast them aside, confident that they are merely the working of a child's imagination. Then why is beefy six-footer Jerry Meyers lying in the morgue with a torn jigular full of insect venom? What dragged little Mike Henshaw beneath his bed and suffocated him? And what sort of menace lurking beneath the black waters of the old coal pit has plunged the residents of Tanapah, Oklahoma, into such a frenzy?

For Mike Winters, victim of a failed marriage and weary of his job in advertising, a return to Tanapah, the scene of his happiest boyhood summers, signals a welcome break. Flooded with warm recollections and exited by the prospect of renewing old acquaintances, among them the stunning young doctor, Cheryl Stanton, and crusty newspaper editor Matthew Simmons, Mike discovers that he is not the only visitor in Tapanah.
A horror epidemic for which there is no explanation and no cure descends upon the town and turns Mike's vacation into a nightmare where old fears become deadly realities.

John Wooley and Ron Wolfe have delved deep into their recollections of children's imaginations to create a new generation of horrors. From the first prickling of the hair on the back of the neck to the final gasp, reader are carried along the paths of familiar childhood don'ts, stories concocted by adults to frighten children into obedience.
Old fears. Whatever makes you think they've gone away?

Old-Fears

Chloe, in this case you have to send this information to GR Staff using Contact Us form on the main page of this group. They will merge incorrect profile because it's only one book there and it's yours. After merging it will be moved to your page. Librarians just can't merge profiles of GR Authors.

Отныне она — носитель таинственной магической силы, защищающей каждого зеленого всадника, и… новая мишень порождений Мрака, вновь и вновь пытающихся ее уничтожить. Теперь уже ее охраняют призраки предыдущих гонцов… Теперь уже на нее охотится загадочный человек-тень… Но послание короля должно быть доставлено вовремя!

author - Wassily Kandinsky, Василий Кандинский, Франц Марк
title - Синий всадник. Der blaue Reiter
summary - Альманах "Синий всадник", подготовленный В.Кандинским и Ф.Марком, - манифест западноевропейских авангардистов - впервые публикуется на русском языке. Вышедший в Мюнхене в 1912 году, он был в значительной своей части явлением русской культуры "серебряного века" с ее поиском высокого духовного содержания, идеей синтеза звука, цвета, движения, слова, линии, с ее желанием вырваться за рамки национального. В альманахе представлены В. Кандинский, Розанов, Явленский, Сабанеев и др.
В книге около 50 цветных и тоновых иллюстраций.
Для любителей искусства.
