Alexander Tcherepnin
Ludmila Korabelnikova recounts the life and times of Alexander Tcherepnin, a prolific and often emulated composer who produced four operas, 13 ballets, four symphonies, numerous orchestral and chamber works, and more than 200 piano pieces. He was born in Russia in 1899 to a family of musicians and artists. However, Aaron Copland referred to him as "an honorary American composer" and Toru Takemitsu called him "a father figure of Japanese music." Korabelnikova focuses not only on the biographical elements of Tcherepnin's story, but also on his music and its technical innovations. She includes extended quotations by the composer himself and selective analytical commentary, based on primary sources and contemporaneous accounts.
Diaghilev
This magnificent new biography of the extraordinary impresario of the arts and creator of the Ballets Russes 100 years ago draws on important new research, notably from Russia. 'Scheijen masterfully recounts the phenomenal way in which Diaghilev contrived, under virtually impossible circumstances, to nurture a sequence of works ... he triumphs in making clear the degree to which, despite the cosmopolitanism of so much of the work, Russia was at the core of Diaghilev' Simon Callow, Guardian 'It's a fabulous, complicated, very sexy story and Sjeng Scheijen takes us through it with a steadying calm that fudges none of the outrage on or off stage' Duncan Fallowell, Daily Express 'Magnificent ... filled with extraordinary glamour' Rupert Christiansen, Daily Mail

Misto-Quente
O que pode ser pior do que crescer nos Estados Unidos da recessão pós-1929? Ser pobre, de origem alemã, ter muitas espinhas, um pai autoritário beirando a psicopatia, uma mãe passiva e ignorante, nenhuma namorada e, pela frente, apenas a perspectiva de servir de mão-de-obra barata em um mundo cada vez menos aberto às pessoas sensíveis e problemáticas. Esta é a história de Henry Chinaski, o protagonista deste romance de formação com toques autobiográficos, que é sem dúvida uma das obras mais comoventes e mais lidas de Charles Bukowski.
