ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Howden, Martin, PUBLISHER: John Blake, The first biography of one of the most complex actors of his generation From his early career as a child star to his Oscar-nominated performance in Walk the Line and subsequent "reinvention," this biography traces the rise of a completely unique actor. Since his Oscar nomination, Joaquin Phoenix has risen to become one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Yet in October , during an interview to promote the critically acclaimed "Two Lovers," Phoenix made the shocking announcement that he was to retire from acting, declining any future film roles in a bid to reinvent himself as a hip hop artist. The resulting documentary, "I'm Still Here," turned out to be one of the most extraordinary and memorable pieces of performance art ever committed to film. Born in , Phoenix was a natural performer from an early age, regularly busking on the streets of New York City with his multitalented siblings. Following in the footsteps of his older brother River, Joaquin decided on a career in acting, and his breakthrough performance alongside Nicole Kidman in "To Die For "confirmed him as the most intriguing actor of his generation.

Legends of the Plumed Serpent: Biography of a Mexican God

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Baldwin, Neil, PUBLISHER: PublicAffairs, Few images hold an active claim on the imaginations of countless generations, but the Plumed Serpent, or Quetzalcoatl, has endured through years of Mesoamerican history. Visualized as part bird and part snake and also in human form, this benevolent god remained a potent symbol of creation from the time of the ancient Olmec to the Mexican revolution. When Hernan Cortes arrived in his "New Spain" in , the Aztec believed he might embody the Plumed Serpent. Four hundred years later, Quetzatcoatl's image was invoked in the revolutionary art of muralist Diego Rivera. It also took root ten years ago in the fertile imagination of seasoned biographer Neil Baldwin when he toured the archaeological sites of Mexico. At first simply reacting to the dearth of informative guidebooks, Baldwin resolved to unearth the more profound significance of some of the stone carvings he puzzled over at the ruins of Uxmal and Chichen Itza. As his travels and reading broadened, Baldwin set his sights on the Plumed Serpent -- a myth -- as the ubject of his latest biography. Enlivened with photographs of ancient sites, modern murals, and historical documents throughout, Legends of The Plumed Serpent is an erudite tour of the archaeological treasures of Mexico, an unusual biography of a myth, and a detailed cultural history.

Aubrey Beardsley, Imp of the Perverse

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Weintraub, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Pennsylvania State University Press, At twenty, "the Fra Angelico of Satanism," as Roger Fry was to call Aubrey Beardsley, was working as an obscure clerk in a London life insurance company. Three years later he was the most notorious--and perhaps the most influential--artist in England. His controversial drawings for Oscar Wilde's Salome were so daring and different that someone quipped that Wilde's play illustrated Beardsley's art. His work as art editor of the two most famous magazines of the 's, The Yellow Book and The Savoy, consolidated his fame although he was unreasonably dragged into the Wilde scandal and nearly destroyed by it. By the time he produced his strikingly scabrous drawings for a pornographer publisher's Lysistrata he was dying, yet still incredibly productive. But he had already indelibly stamped the age with his name. In a front-page review in the New York Times Book Review in , art critic John Russell wrote of Beardsley that "as a biography--a life's story" the book "needs no successsor." Aubrey Beardsley: Imp of the Perverse began as an updating of the original biography but new material at hand and the need to reinterpret Beardsley from the perspective of augmented life-records made a mere updating impractical, especially since the climate for publishing has become far more receptive to truth in biography, however explicit.

The Reign of Napoleon Bonaparte

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Asprey, Robert, PUBLISHER: Basic Books (AZ), Robert Asprey completes his definitive, two-volume biography with an intimate, fast-paced look at Napoleon's daring reign and tragic demise with more of the personality and passion that marked the first volume of this cradle to the grave biography. In The Rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, Asprey showed us that Napoleon was not the father of chaos, but rather an heir to it. In this companion volume, we see Napoleon struggling to subdue the turmoil. We peer over Napoleon's shoulder as he solidifies his growing empire through a series of marriages, military victories, and shrewd diplomatic manipulations. We watch Napoleon lose control of his empire, plot his return from Elba, rally peasants in his march to Paris, endure defeat at Waterloo and suffer exile and a lonely death on the island of St. Helena. Robert Asprey tells this fascinating, tragic tale in lush narrative detail.
