Charlie Chaplin made an amazing 71 films by the time he was only 33 years old. He was not only known as the world’s first international movie star, but as a comedian, film director, and a man ripe with scandal, accused of plagiarism, communism, pacifism, liberalism, and anti-Americanism. He seduced young women, marrying four different times, each time to a woman younger than the next. In this animated biography of Chaplin, Joyce Milton reveals to us a life riddled with gossip and a struggle to rise from an impoverished London childhood to the life of a successful American film star.

L'inno alla pace di Charlie Chaplin nel "Grande dittatore", il super-computer HAL 9000 e la sua folle "incapacità d'errore" in "2001: Odissea nello spazio", la figura ormai leggendaria di "Fantozzi Rag. Ugo". La storia del cinema è un susseguirsi di scene, personaggi e dialoghi che sono entrati a far parte dell'immaginario di intere generazioni, e in questo volume Walter Veltroni, da sempre appassionato di cinema, parte dal "momento meraviglioso in cui in sala si fa buio totale" per accompagnarci in un viaggio personale e affettivo tra centouno dei film più belli di sempre.

On 23 March, 1844, General Tom Thumb, at 25 inches tall, entered the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace and bowed low to Queen Victoria. On both sides of the Atlantic, this meeting marked a tipping point in the 19th century - the age of the freak was born. Bewitching all levels of society, it was a world of astonishing spectacle - of dwarfs, giants, bearded ladies, Siamese twins and swaggering showmen - and one that has since inspired countless novels, films and musicals.

One of America's most intriguing show-business luminaries and true rebels, Dennis Hopper's amazing life was a roller-coaster series of triumphs and failures. Always intent on proving his genius and leaving a legacy, the Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated Hopper acted in more than 115 movies and four TV series, directed seven films, and passionately pursued an artist's life as a photographer and creator and collector of modern art.

For Nick Flynn, that game we all play—the who-would-play-you-in-the-movie-of-your-life game—has been resolved. The Reenactments chronicles the surreal experience of being on set during the making of the film Being Flynn, from his best-selling memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City, and watching the central events of his life reenacted: His father's long run of homelessness and his mother's suicide.

A revelatory history of the operatic masterpiece that both made and destroyed Rouben Mamoulian, its director and unsung hero. "Bring my goat!" Porgy exclaims in the final scene of Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess. Bess, whom he loves, has left for New York City, and he’s determined to find her. When his request is met with astonishment - New York is a great distance from South Carolina’s Catfish Row - Porgy remains undaunted.

Through a deft compilation of primary sources—letters, memoirs, and personal accounts from composers, librettists, and performers—Michael Rose re-creates for his readers the circumstances that gave rise to fifteen operatic milestones. From Monteverdi and Mozart to Puccini and Berg, each chapter focuses on a well-known opera and tells the story that lies behind its creation.

From southern Greece to northern Russia, people have long believed in female spirits, bringers of fertility, who spend their nights and days dancing in the fields and forests. So appealing were these spirit-maidens that they also took up residence in 19th-century Romantic literature. Archaeologist and linguist by profession, folk dancer by avocation, Elizabeth Wayland Barber has sleuthed through ethnographic lore and archaeological reports of east and southeast Europe, translating enchanting folktales about these "dancing goddesses" as well as eyewitness accounts of traditional rituals - texts that offer new perspectives on dance in agrarian society.

Since it began several years ago Hugo Rifkind's dazzling My Week column has been satirising the high profile and the famous, and basically anyone foolish or unfortunate enough to find themselves at the top of the news agenda that week. The column itself is a fictional diary parodying their movements over seven days in a rarely flattering but always hilarious manner. Rifkind's victims are as diverse and as headline-grabbing as David Cameron, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Edwina Currie, Barack Obama and Pippa Middleton.

A meditative and inspiring diary of Derek Jarman's famous garden at Dungeness. In 1986 Derek Jarman discovered he was HIV positive and decided to make a garden at his cottage on the barren coast of Dungeness. Facing an uncertain future, he nevertheless found solace in nature, growing all manner of plants. While some perished beneath wind and sea-spray, others flourished, creating brilliant, unexpected beauty in the wilderness. Modern Nature is both a diary of the garden and a meditation by Jarman on his own life.

In this brave and moving memoir, Corey Feldman is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.

Una travolgente affabulazione di Dario Fo nata dalle sue ricerche su fonti popolari medioevali e dalla scoperta di alcuni testi inediti sulla vita del santo di Assisi, autodefinitosi "giullare di Dio". Dario ne racconta non solo gli episodi più celebri della sua vita, ma anche storie e leggende ignorate per secoli. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1999.

Un'antologia di canti popolari italiani dedicati alla vita umana nei suoi temi più quotidiani: l'amore, il lavoro, la povertà, la guerra, il dolore. Canzoni spesso dimenticate o inedite, a volte composte su frammenti antichi dallo stesso Dario Fo. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1966. La registrazione dalla quale è stato estratto l'audio è del 1977.

Una lezione niente affatto scolastica tenuta da Dario Fo su Caravaggio. La lettura di Dario Fo rovescia molti schemi acquisiti dalla storia dell'arte inquadrando con vivezza il più grande pittore del Seicento italiano. Conclude la lezione-spettacolo Franca Rame interpretando la Madonna ai piedi della croce ripresa da un testo lombardo del XVI secolo.

Racconti allegorici contro il potere, le sue regole e la burocrazia, per una vita ricca di creatività, socialità e fantasia, scritti e narrati da Dario Fo con impareggiabili doti istrioniche in una parlata paleolombarda comprensibile a tutti. Esempi di letteratura popolare reinventata e trasfigurata in chiave fantastica con esiti di insuperabile comicità. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1980. La registrazione dalla quale è stato estratto l’audio è del 1991.

Appassionanti monologhi nei quali Franca Rame interpreta di volta in volta una vistosa casalinga frustrata e alienata, un'operaia in corsa affannosa contro il tempo mentre si prepara a portare il bambino all'asilo e andare al lavoro, una madre cattocomunista che diventa fricchettona per seguire il figlio contestatore fuggito di casa. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1977.
