Fantomas
Marcel Allain (1885-1970) was a French writer mostly remembered today for his co-creation with Pierre Souvestre of the fictional arch-villain and master criminal Fantomas. Pierre Souvestre (1874-1914) was a French lawyer, journalist, writer and organizer of motor races. Allain became the assistant of Souvestre, when he was already a well-known figure in literary circles. In 1909, the two men published their first novel, Le Rour.

The Five Sedgwicks
Individually and together, The Five Sedgwicks are among the unsung heroes of early filmmaking in Hollywood. Their work took them from vaudeville to silent film, through the studio era and into the Golden Age of television. By the late 1920s the Sedgwick siblings were well-known motion picture personalities: Edward was satirized by actor Harry Gribbon as an enthusiastic comedy director in King Vidor's 1928 silent comedy hit Show People; Josie was a star of Western films and was presented the honorific title of "Queen of the Roundup"; Universal Films promoted Eileen as their "Queen of the Serial." This book details the family's extensive contributions to the entertainment industry.
The Beribboned Bomb
Surrealism was ostensibly directed at the emancipation of the human spirit, but it represented only male aspirations and fantasies until a number of women artists began to redefine its agenda in the later 1930s. This book addresses the former, using a 'thick description' of the historically specific circumstances which required the male Surrealists to manufacture a sexual reputation of narcissism and misogyny. These circumstances were determined by 'hegemonic masculinity', an ideological construct which had little to do with individual masculinities. In male Surrealism, the 'beribboned bomb' signified something both attractive and volatile, a specific instance of the Surrealist principle of convulsive beauty. In hegemonic masculinity, similar devices served as metaphors of the sexuality all men were supposed to possess. The intersection of these two axes produced an imagery of unrepentant violence.
Aunt Lee's Library
This is basically what our English teachers called an "annotated bibliography," morphed into grandeur as curated e-content for the digital age.I obsessively cross-checked "Best Books Ever" lists with public domain e-books, obtained reprint permission from wonderful online book reviewers and inserted a link to my meta-search engine that searches the best of the free e-book sites, and this e-book is the result.Think of a browsing in a bookstore/coffee house where friendly, literate folk have gathered to argue the merits of great books -- and then they just give them to you -- armfuls of great, free books.
