Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Charles Boyer (28 August 1899 26 August 1978) was a French actor who appeared in more than 80 films between 1920 and 1976. After receiving an education in drama, Boyer started on the stage, but he found his success in movies during the 1930s. Although moving to the U.S., he maintained a heavy French accent. His most famous role was opposite Ingrid Bergman in the 1944 mystery-thriller Gaslight. Other memorable performances were possibly in the era's highly praised romantic dramas, Algiers (1938) and Love Affair (1939). He received four Academy Award nominations for Best Actor. Born in Figeac, Lot, Midi-Pyrénées, France, to Maurice and Louise Boyer, Charles was a shy, small-town boy who discovered the movies and theater at the age of eleven. Boyer performed comic sketches for soldiers while working as a hospital orderly during World War I. He began studies briefly at the Sorbonne, and was waiting for a chance to study acting at the Paris Conservatory. He went to the capital city to finish his education, but spent most of his time pursuing a theatrical career. In 1920, his quick memory won him a chance to replace the leading man in a stage production, and he scored an immediate hit. In the 1920s, he not only played a suave and sophisticated ladies' man on the stage but also appeared in several silent films. MGM signed Boyer to a contract, and he loved life in the United States, but nothing much came of his first Hollywood stay from 1929 to 1931. At first, he did film roles only for the money and found that supporting roles were unsatisfying. However, with the coming of ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=98968 ... Read more

Product Description
French priest Joseph M. Paret (1807-1872) served in the missions of Louisiana from 1847 to 1869 as pastor of the Little Red Church, located upstream from New Orleans on the east bank of the Mississippi River.During his somewhat lonely tenure, Paret sketched landscapes, architecture, and interiors, capturing everyday life in prosperous St. Charles Parish.In 1987, fifty-three watercolors were discovered-still bound in their original sketchbook-among his personal effects.Plantations by the River contains twenty-eight of these paintings created in or about the year 1859.Paret's insightful artwork provides a visual social history of the antebellum creole culture of south Louisiana and documents properties in addition to structures and furnishings of the period.

The book features full-size reproductions of Paret's paintings, which have been restored to their original vibrancy.The value of Paret's detailed folk art lies in the accuracy of his depiction of the region he lived in.He faithfully renders parishioners attending church, men pulling driftwood from the Mississippi River, and the edifices and flora gracing local plantations Ormond and Good Hope, among many others.The text is presented in both English and French; and as a supplement to the art, an appendix of excerpts from Mon Journal d'Amerique- a collection of correspondence between Paret and his family-is included.

The beautiful, brightly colored paintings of Plantations by the River are a rare discovery and provide a unique view of rural Louisiana life before the onset of the Civil War. ... Read more

Mickle continued as editor until December, 1844, when he announced that private business required his removal to another state and consequently his withdrawal from all connection with the paper. In the issue of December 21, 1844, the name of Henry Curts appeared as both editor and publisher. Curts continued its publication as a weekly under the same title for some time and then changed the name to "Tihe Semi-Weekly Phoenix and West Jersey Democratic Journal".This change was made in June, 1850 and there are two copies of this paper in the Library of Congress. During the period when it was published semi-weekly it was issued on Mondays and Thursdays. The size of the paper was ioy2 x 16 inches, of four pages and four columns to a page, and the price was one cent per number. D. W. Belisle says it was subsequently published semi-occasion- ally and finally died a natural death about 1860. The office of the "Phoenix" and of the "Semi- Weekly Phoenix" was originally at the southwest corner of Second and Plum streets ("The Arcade") and later at 413 Federal street.There was a paper called the "Hickory Club", edited by Chas. D. Hineline and published by Edward Chandler. It was apparently a four pagecampaign sheet but the only trace of the paper so "The West Jerseyman," June 19, 1850.far located is one page of the issue of May 1844, in the Library of Congress.Ferguson soon after selling out the "Tribune" established the "Franklin Advertiser", also known as the "Dollar Weekly", and continued its publication until 1846, when C.

Product Description
This book is an extensive monograph on Sasakian manifolds, focusing on the intricate relationship between K er and Sasakian geometries. The subject is introduced by discussion of several background topics, including the theory of Riemannian foliations, compact complex and K er orbifolds, and the existence and obstruction theory of K er-Einstein metrics on complex compact orbifolds. There is then a discussion of contact and almost contact structures in the Riemannian setting, in which compact quasi-regular Sasakian manifolds emerge as algebraic objects. There is an extensive discussion of the symmetries of Sasakian manifolds, leading to the study of Sasakian structures on links of isolated hypersurface singularities. This is followed by an in-depth study of compact Sasakian manifolds in dimensions three and five. The final section of the book deals with the existence of Sasaki-Einstein metrics. 3-Sasakian manifolds and the role of sasakian-Einstein geometry in String Theory are discussed separately. ...

Often described as avant-garde for his unorthodox directing methods, Léonce Perret introduced innovative camera, lighting and film scoring techniques to French cinema. Léonce Perret began his career as a relatively undistinguished stage actor. He was recruited to the film industry by the Gaumont Film Company.
