La dolce vita - Richard (king's College London Dyer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

La dolce vita - Richard (king's College London Dyer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Fellini''s La dolce vita has been a phenomenon since before it was made, a scandal in the making and on release in 1960 and a reference point ever since. Much of what made it notorious was its incorporation of real people, events and lifestyles, making it a documentation of its time. It uses performance, camera movement, editing and music to produce a striking aesthetic mix of energy and listlessness, of exuberance and despair. Richard Dyer''s study considers each of these aspects of the film – phenomenon, document, aesthetic – and argues that they are connected. Beginning with the inspirations and ideas that were subsequently turned into La dolce vita, Dyer then explores the making of the film, the film itself and finally its critical reception, providing engaging new insights into this mesmerising piece of cinema.

Understanding Fashion Scandals - Dr Olga Gurova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Fashion Scandals - Dr Olga Gurova - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

All publicity is good publicity? Perhaps not. In recent years, multiple local and global fashion brands have been called out for cultural appropriation, racism, misogyny, and even flirting with fascism. Understanding Fashion Scandals is the first book to explore this changing landscape of contemporary fashion through case studies showing how ‘shock value’ lost its currency. The book focuses on the changes since the late-1970s and early 1980s, when brands like Calvin Klein and Benetton first used controversy as a promotional tool to build their brand identity, to the contemporary industry where avoiding social media backlash is critical to survival.Analyzing the tactics brands including Burberry, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada adopt to avoid or mitigate scandals, Vänskä and Gurova map the fashion industry’s journey towards cultural sustainability.

Sophia - Anita Anand - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sophia - Anita Anand - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

**By the presenter of the hit podcast EMPIRE** ''Sophia is the sort of remarkable, almost unbelievable untold true story that every writer dreams of chancing upon. A wonderful debut, written with real spirit and gusto. Anita Anand has produced a winner'' William Dalrymple ''A fascinating and elegantly written life of one of the unknown giants of women''s suffrage'' Katie Hickman, author of Daughters of Britannia The enthralling story of an extraordinary woman and her part in the defining moments of recent British Indian history Winner of the Eastern Eye Alchemy Festival Award for Literature In 1876 Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Kingdom of the Sikhs, a realm that stretched from the lush Kashmir Valley to the craggy foothills of the Khyber Pass and included the mighty cities of Lahore and Peshawar. It was a territory irresistible to the British, who plundered everything, including the fabled Koh-I-Noor diamond. Exiled to England, the dispossessed Maharajah transformed his estate at Elveden in Suffolk into a Moghul palace, its grounds stocked with leopards, monkeys and exotic birds. Sophia, god-daughter of Queen Victoria, was raised a genteel aristocratic Englishwoman: presented at court, afforded grace-and-favour lodgings at Hampton Court Palace and photographed wearing the latest fashions for the society pages. But when, in secret defiance of the British government, she travelled to India, she returned a revolutionary.Sophia transcended her heritage to devote herself to battling injustice and inequality,a far cry from the life to which she was born. Her causes were the struggle for Indian independence, the fate of the Lascars, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War – and, above all, the fight for female suffrage. She was bold and fearless, attacking politicians, putting herself in the front line and swapping her silks for a nurse''s uniform to tend wounded soldiers evacuated from the battlefields. Meticulously researched and passionately written, this enthralling story of the rise of women and the fall of empire introduces an extraordinary individual and her part in the defining moments of recent British and Indian history.

Rome - Ferdinand Addis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Rome - Ferdinand Addis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The sweeping story of the city of Rome, told through twenty-two moments that shaped its history. ***A Times History Book of the Year*** ''Vivid, pacey... Superb'' The Times . ''Grand narrative underpinned by serious reading'' Guardian . ''Confident, elegant... Admirably ambitious'' Daily Mail . From Romulus and Remus to the films of Fellini, Rome has always exerted a hold on the world''s imagination. Now Ferdinand Addis brings the city of Rome to life by concentrating on vivid episodes from its long and unimaginably rich history. Each beautifully composed chapter is an evocative, self-contained narrative, whether it is the murder of Caesar; the near-destruction of the city by the Gauls in 387 BC; the construction of the Colosseum and the fate of the gladiators; Bernini''s creation of the Baroque masterpiece that is St Peter''s Basilica; the brutal crushing of republican dreams in 1849; the sinister degeneration of Mussolini''s first state, or the magical, corrupt Rome of Fellini''s La Dolce Vita . This is an epic, kaleidoscopic history of a city indelibly associated with republicanism and dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy and its rivals, high art and low life in all its forms. REVIEWS FOR ROME : ''Superb... Rome''s history is written in blood and Addis, who has a vivid, pacey writing style, spares not the squeamish as he describes three millennia of violence from the first kings to Il Duce'' The Times . ''This is a confident, elegant account of the city''s progress... [Addis''s] version is admirably ambitious and succeeds splendidly in a task that would daunt lesser authors'' Daily Mail . ''[Addis] brings Rome''s history alive through grand narrative ... The snappy paragraphs are underpinned by serious reading... Addis''s chosen formula is to serve up selected highlights but to come at them from quirky angles'' Guardian . ''From its ancient foundation to the Second World War, via Gauls, ghettos and gladiators , its 22 chapters focus on the themes of individuals, myths and beliefs'' BBC World Histories . ''He brings the myth of Rome alive by concentrating on vivid episodes from its rich history. This is a book about people, and their experiences, prejudices and beliefs'' Oxford Times .

Crusaders - Dan Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Crusaders - Dan Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From the bestselling author of The Templars . ''Voyages, battles, sieges and slaughter: Dan Jones''s tumultuous and thrilling history of the crusades is one of the best'' SUNDAY TIMES . ''A powerful story brilliantly told. Dan Jones writes with pace, wit and insight'' HELEN CASTOR. ''A fresh and vibrant account of a conflict that raged across medieval centuries'' JONATHAN PHILLIPS. Dan Jones, best-selling chronicler of the Middle Ages, turns his attention to the history of the Crusades – the sequence of religious wars fought between the late eleventh century and late medieval periods, in which armies from European Christian states attempted to wrest the Holy Land from Islamic rule, and which have left an enduring imprint on relations between the Muslim world and the West. From the preaching of the First Crusade by Pope Urban II in 1095 to the loss of the last crusader outpost in the Levant in 1302-03, and from the taking of Jerusalem from the Fatimids in 1099 to the fall of Acre to the Mamluks in 1291, Crusaders tells a tale soaked in Islamic, Christian and Jewish blood, peopled by extraordinary characters, and characterised by both low ambition and high principle. Dan Jones is a master of popular narrative history, with the priceless ability to write page-turning narrative history underpinned by authoritative scholarship. Never before has the era of the Crusades been depicted in such bright and striking colours, or their story told with such gusto. PRAISE FOR THE TEMPLARS : ''A fresh, muscular and compelling history of the ultimate military-religious crusading order, combining sensible scholarship with narrative swagger'' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE. ''Dan Jones has created a gripping page-turner out of the dramatic history of the Templars'' PHILIPPA GREGORY. ''The story of the Templars, the ultimate holy warriors, is an extraordinary saga of fanaticism, bravery, treachery and betrayal, and in Dan Jones they have a worthy chronicler. The Templars is a wonderful book!'' BERNARD CORNWELL. ''Told with all Jones''s usual verve and panache, this is a dramatic and gripping tale of courage and stupidity, faith and betrayal'' MAIL ON SUNDAY . ''This is another triumphant tale from a historian who writes as addictively as any page-turning novelist'' OBSERVER . '' The Templars is exhilarating, epic, sword-swinging history '' TLS . ''Jones carries the Templars through the crusades with clarity and verve . This is unabashed narrative history, fast-paced and full of incident... Jones tells their story extremely well'' SUNDAY TIMES .
