A definitive anthology dedicated to the most American of the Italian directors, who's way of doing cinema has influenced tens of filmakers (Tarantino above all). Besides a detailed examination of films, personal memories of the director and of the many collaborators who worked with him (from Bertolucci to Dario Argento, from Ennio Morricone to Clint Eastwood), script excerpts and beautiful photographs. The volume by De Fornari, an experienced Italian film critic (who knew Leone well) and author of another insightful book about Leone, uses individual films along with original material: a preface by Acadecmy Award winning filmaker Giuseppe Tornatore, a collection of quotes arranged alphabetically and an essay ("Six Ways Not to Resemble John Ford") that explains what distinguishes Leone from the myriad of Italian and American directors making westerns.

Product Description This book explores as never before all the facets of the fascinating universe of rhythms and “born to dance” artists of the Big Island. It traces Cuban dance from its origins through colonialism and from the Revolution to the present day. Before the advent of Fidel Castro, the voluptuous life of cabarets (i.e. Sans Souci or Tropicana) reigned supreme in the pulsating heart of Havana. The world’s greatest actors, dancers and singers came to perform in Cuba. Italian and French-style theaters billed the world’s greatest opera divas, ballets and concerts. After 1959, Castro took over all aspects of the sector and promoted the more authentic Afro-Cuban oral culture, aimed to appeal to all the population. Cubanía became country, homeland, identity. A magnificent tradition of classical ballet is still vital in Cuba today. The Escuela Nacional de Ballet produces exceptional dancers each year. There is also a vigorous modern and contemporary dance culture. Cuban folk, yoruba and popular dances also continue to dazzle. In a single volume, Cuba Danza is the one and only complete reference. About the Author Elisa Guzzo Vaccarino has for decades been a critic and authority on dance (La Scala theatre in Milan, Italy) for newspapers, websites, television, theatres, museums and festivals, in Europe. In the early eighties her intense involvement in the project “The Island that Dances” led her frequently to Cuba and the forming of longstanding friendships. She continues to pursue her passion for this very special island through constant research, and above all by dancing and living in Cuba with the Cubans.

Product Description This is the first book of a series for kids (age 7-11) from the cartoon Harry & Bunnie, an animated series (now on Netflix) of a young wannabe magician named Harry, who invents tricks to impress his friends, and Bunnie, the stage rabbit who always ends up stealing Harry’s limelight by having control of their wrangles for the Magic Wand. Harry elaborates crazy plans to take his wand back, but always fails. The TV show is a non-dialogue slapstick comedy with 78 episodes.In this book there are the first two episodes (“New Magical Star” and “I’m Bunnie”), including all the gags and the funny conflicts between the characters; it also entails completely new, original and self-contained situations. The book is relevant to the cartoon, but it has dialogues for a more involving reading experience! The two stories in the book have a clear goal from the beginning and a “crazy” and amusing conclusion. About the Author Philip Osbourne is a writer from Portsmouth, NH.
