THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time. _______________ 'This is the book for every woman trying to place their body on the map of consumption vs control, and every woman who wants to better understand her impulses. It left me much changed' - Lena Dunham 'I read these pages, breathless with recognition, and the thrill of reading a new voice telling it like it is' - Dani Shapiro 'Emily Ratajkowski's first essay collection needs to be read by everyone [...] both page-turning and moving as hell' - Amy Schumer 'A slow, complicated indictment of a profe...
Biografia przywracająca pamięć o Julii Keilowej – ikonie polskiego wzornictwa, wybitnej rzeźbiarce i metaloplastyczce. W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym projektowała dla największych polskich wytwórców platerów: Frageta, Norblina i braci Henneberg. Oszczędne w formie projekty Keilowej cieszyły się powodzeniem i znakomicie pasowały do modernistycznych wnętrz. Dzisiaj to ikony polskiego wzornictwa art déco, ale życiorys ich projektantki jest niemal nieznany. Małgorzata Czyńska rekonstruuje tę biografię. Keilowa konsekwentnie budowała własną markę: w 1933 roku otworzyła prywatną pracownię metaloplastyki i stworzyła kilkaset różnych wzorów, które masowo powielan...
The central thesis of this book is that a genre approach provides the most effective means for understanding, analyzing and appreciating the Hollywood cinema. Taking into account not only the formal and aesthetic aspects of feature filmmaking, but various other cultural aspects as well, the genre approach treats movie production as a dynamic process of exchange between the film industry and its audience. This process, embodied by the Hollywood studio system, has been sustained primarily through genres, those popular narrative formulas like the Western, musical and gangster film, which have dominated the screen arts throughout this century.
"Jesus's words 'the poor you will always have with you' (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible. In this book Liz Theoharis critically examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how this passage is taken out of context and distorted. Poverty is not inevitable, Theoharis argues. It is a systemic sin, and all Christians have a responsibility to partner with the poor to end poverty once and for all"--Jacket

Obóz. Marsz śmierci. Rzeź Woli. Ubeckie tortury. Słowa te były wypowiadane w jej domu – szeptem lub krzykiem – odkąd pamięta. Wsiąkły w nią tak jak tusz w numerze wytatuowanym na przedramieniu matki. Małgorzata zaczyna pisać. Czas przekazać tę historię dalej. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- – Zgadnij, skąd dzwonię?! – każę mamie zgadywać, ale mój pełen radości i dumy głos zdradza szybko powód mojego podekscytowania.
