Living as a man, twenty-one-year-old Teena Brandon hit the dust bowl town of Falls City, Nebraska, on the run from her family in Lincoln - and from the law for forging checks. Handsome and sophisticated, Brandon was an instant success, with young women hanging all over him. But when Brandon started to date the beautiful blonde Lana Tisdel, her luck ran out. In a terrifying incident on Christmas Eve, Brandon's true sexual identity was unmasked. On New Year's Eve, Brandon, her roommate, and a friend were found shot to death in an isolated farmhouse.Writing with exclusive cooperation of Brandon's ex-girlfriends and family, the accused murderers, and numerous other sources, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Aphrodite Jones explores the extravagant life and violent death of Teena Brandon, as well as the investigation and murder trial. Jones lays bare an America where many young people boldly experiment with gender identity, challenging our ideas of male and female, gay and straight - and where Teena Brandon and her friends paid a terrible price for sexual freedom.

Lives of Girls and Women Vintage Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father's fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women: her mother, an agnostic, opinionted woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother's boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence. Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro's unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

Winnetou Bloomsbury Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
"Continuum Impacts" are seminal works by some of the finest minds in Western thought that created a storm when they were first published, and continue to resonate in this new series. Strikingly designed to complement the controversial nature of the thoughts within, "Impacts" are essential reading for independent thinkers everywhere. Karl May's most popular work originally published in 1892 and influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe, "Winnetou" is the story of a young Apache chief told by his white friend and blood-brother Old Shatterhand. The action takes place in the U.S. Southwest, in the latter half of the 1800s, where the Indian way of life is threatened by the first transcontinental railroad. Winnetou, the only Native Indian chief who could have united the various rival tribes to reach a settlement with the whites, is murdered. His tragic death foreshadows the death of his people. May's central theme here, as in much of his work, is the relationship between aggression, racism, and religious intolerance.

Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms Brilliant Classics
Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna
Stravinsky composed his Symphony of Psalms in 1930, after Serge Koussevitzky commissioned him to write a work to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Originally conceived as a purely orchestral work, Stravinsky had been reading the verses of Psalm 39, and considered setting them in Old Slavonic before deciding on Latin. Scored for an orchestra without violins, violas and clarinets, the sound is solemn and austere. The work was premiered in Brussels under Ernest Ansermet -- Koussevitzky being ill at the time.Despite receiving the commission from Koussevitzky, relations between conductor and composer were frosty. The title page bears the inscription 'Composed to the glory of God... dedicated to the Boston Symphony Orchestra' with no mention of Koussevitzky, which no doubt needled the conductor.Lili Boulanger, sister of Nadia, the friend and associate of Stravinsky, was born in 1893. During her short life, she suffered from bronchial pneumonia which led to her premature death in 1918; she composed an opera and many chamber and orchestral works of high quality. It is, however, her choral music upon which her reputation lies, especially the six psalm settings -- three of which are included on this CD. Her music looks forward to composers such as Stravinsky, Honegger and even Messiaen, and her early death robbed the musical world of one of its most promising and original voices.Further information:Digital recording from 1999.'A smooth but powerful reading of the Stravinsky that more than holds its own against stiff competition.' Gramophone.Comprehensive booklet notes, and sung textsConductor: John Eliot GardinerContralto: Sally Bruce-PayneTenor: Julian PodgerChorus: Monteverdi ChoirOrchestra: London Symphony Orchestra

Tired of being seen as different from her neurotypical peers, Audrey's determined to switch to the public high school, rebuild her friendship with Clare, and atone for Adam's death . . . but she'll need to convince her parents, and her therapist, first.Clare knows her sister thinks she's the perfect twin, but Audrey doesn't realize that Clare's "popular" status is crumbling-she's begun to question old friendships, dress in Adam's clothes, and wonder what feelings for a nonbinary classmate, Taylor, might mean. As she grapples with not only grief but also her gender fluidity, Clare wonders where she'll belong if she sheds her carefully constructed image and embraces her true self.Will first crushes, new family dynamics, and questions of identity prove that Audrey and Clare have grown too different to understand each other-or that they've needed each other all along?
