Storia proibita di una geisha
Oltre 70.000 copie vendute Mineko è una bambina schiva e solitaria quando alla tenera età di cinque anni viene allontanata dalla sua famiglia: l’anziana Madame Oima, direttrice di un’okiya, una casa per geishe di Kyoto, ha infatti deciso di farne la propria erede. Così per Mineko comincia una lunga e impegnativa formazione: estenuanti lezioni per apprendere antichi passi di danza, per imparare a suonare gli strumenti della tradizione e per acquisire tutti i segreti di quel cerimoniale rigido e severo che rende le geishe maestre di etichetta, eleganza e cultura. La ragazza s’immerge nello studio e non si concede alcuna distrazione, pur di realizzare il suo unico grande sogno: essere ...
La ragazza che voleva diventare una geisha
Jean-Christophe Le Kervantec, detto Thad, nato a Saint-Brieuc in Bretagna, è un ragazzo un po’ sognatore e un po’ ribelle che si ritrova a essere complice di uno scagnozzo della yakuza in varie attività illecite, al soldo di un ex generale. Pamela, detta Pam, è una giovane cresciuta nell’area dell’Île de France che gestisce un negozio di bonsai lungo il quai Malaquais a Parigi. È lì che si incontrano e scoprono di avere una grande passione in comune: il Giappone. Thad, che da bambino ha letto Musashi di Eiji Yoshikawa, si considera un samurai bretone. Pam, invece, ha deciso di diventare una geisha. Si veste da geisha, vive come una geisha, grazie anche ad Atsura, il suo danna (...
Genre Beyond Borders
This book offers an innovative approach to understanding operetta, drawing attention to its malleability and resistance to boundaries. These shows have traversed (and continue to traverse) with ease the national borders which might superficially define them, or draw on features from many other genres without fundamentally changing in tone or approach. The chapters move from nineteenth-century London and Paris to twentieth-century North America, South America and Europe to present-day Australia. Some offer fresh understandings of familiar composers, such as Johann Strauss or Gilbert and Sullivan, while others examine works or composers that are less well-known. The chapter on Socialist operetta in Czechoslovakia in particular will almost certainly be a revelation to anyone from Western Europe or the US, where operetta is often understood to be a bourgeois phenomenon. As a summary of the current state of the field, this collection showcases the many possible pathways for future scholars who wish to explore it.
Lady Snowblood Volume 3
Lady Snowblood is a woman born with a singular purpose, revenge. Revenge for the death of her father at the hands of greedy criminals. Revenge for the life of her mother, who birthed her in a prison to continue this demon's path of death. Sometimes this path is odd, sometimes sexy, often painful, and always violent. By means of a world's worth of skills, Lady Snowblood will find her revenge. But who knows what lies at the end of this path. • Skillfully written by Kazuo Koike of Lone Wolf and Cub fame and master-drafted by Kazuo Kamimura, Lady Snowblood is a sexy story of a woman bound by dire desires.

Art Directors in Cinema
Often forgotten among the actors, directors, producers and others associated with filmmaking, art directors are responsible for making movies visually appealing to audiences. As such they sometimes make the difference between a hit and a bomb. This biographical dictionary includes not only the world's great and almost-great artists, but the unjustly neglected film designers of the past and present. Among the more than 300 art directors and designers are pioneers from silent films, designers from Hollywood and Europe's Golden Ages, Asian figures, post-Golden Age personalities, leaders of the European and American New Waves, and many contemporary designers. Each entry consists of biographical information, an analysis of the director's career and important films, and an extensive filmography including mentions of Academy Award nominations and winners.
