KUBAŃCZYCY ANTHONY DEPALMA NOWA  Jaka naprawdę jest Kuba? Kim są jej mieszkańcy? Wybitny reporter Anthony DePalma próbuje odpowiedzieć na te pytania, przyglądając się zwykłym ludziom, którym przyszło doświadczać gorzkich realiów epoki Castro i pełnych niepewności czasów po śmierci El Comandante - a wszystko to na jednej z najpiękniejszych wysp Karaibów. Anthony DePalma w poruszający sposób pokazuje prawdziwe oblicze Kuby, małego państwa, w którym oficjalne media przedstawiają cały zachodni świat jako piekło narkomanii, masowych mordów i rozpasanej konsumpcji, samą Kubę zaś jako absolutnie wyjątkowe miejsce, rządzone przez nieomylnych polityków. Jednocześnie w tym kraju-raju, poza

"[DePalma] renders a Cuba few tourists will ever see . . . You won't forget these people soon, and you are bound to emerge from DePalma's bighearted account with a deeper understanding of a storied island . . . A remarkably revealing glimpse into the world of a muzzled yet irrepressibly ebullient neighbor."--The New York TimesModern Cuba comes alive in a vibrant portrait of a group of families's varied journeys in one community over the last twenty years.Cubans today, most of whom have lived their entire lives under the Castro regime, are hesitantly embracing the future. In his new book, Anthony DePalma, a veteran reporter with years of experience in Cuba, focuses on a neighborhood across the harbor from Old Havana to dramatize the optimism as well as the enormous challenges that Cubans face: a moving snapshot of Cuba with all its contradictions as the new regime opens the gate to the capitalism that Fidel railed against for so long. In Guanabacoa, longtime residents prove enterprising in the extreme. Scrounging materials in the black market, Cary Luisa Limonta Ewen has started her own small manufacturing business, a surprising turn for a former ranking member of the Communist Party. Her good friend Lili, a loyal Communist, heads the neighborhood's watchdog revolutionary committee. Artist Arturo Montoto, who had long lived and worked in Mexico, moved back to Cuba when he saw improving conditions but complains like any artist about recognition. In stark contrast, Jorge García lives in Miami and continues to seek justice for the sinking of a tugboat full of refugees, a tragedy that claimed the lives of his son, grandson, and twelve other family members, a massacre for which the government denies any role. In The Cubans, many patriots face one new question: is their loyalty to the revolution, or to their country? As people try to navigate their new reality, Cuba has become an improvised country, an old machine kept running with equal measures of ingenuity and desperation. A new kind of revolutionary spirit thrives beneath the conformity of a half century of totalitarian rule. And over all of this looms the United States, with its unpredictable policies, which warmed towards its neighbor under one administration but whose policies have now taken on a chill reminiscent of the Cold War.

The Making of Star Wars Random House

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

After the 1973 success of American Graffiti, filmmaker George Lucas made the fateful decision to pursue a longtime dream project: a space fantasy movie unlike any ever produced. Lucas envisioned a swashbuckling SF saga inspired by the Flash Gordon serials classic American westerns, the epic cinema of Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa, and mythological heroes. Its original title: The Star Wars. The rest is history, and how it was made is a story as entertaining and exciting as the movie that has enthralled millions for thirty years - a story that has never been told as it was meant to be. Until now.§§Using his unprecedented access to the Lucasfilm Archives and its trove of never-before-published "lost" interviews, photos, production notes, factoids, and anecdotes, Star Wars scholar J. W. Rinzler hurtles readers back in time for a one-of-a-kind behind-the-scenes look at the nearly decade-long quest of George Lucas and his key collaborators to make the "little" movie that became a phenomenon. For the first time, it's all here:§§- the evolution of the now-classic story and characters - including "Annikin Starkiller" and "a huge green-skinned monster with no nose and large gills" named Han Solo§- excerpts from George Lucas's numerous, ever-morphing script drafts§- the birth of Industrial Light & Magic, the special-effects company that revolutionized Hollywood filmmaking§- the studio-hopping and budget battles that nearly scuttled the entire project§- the director's early casting saga, which might have led to a film spoken mostly in Japanese - including the intensive auditions that won the cast members their roles and made them legends§- the grueling, nearly catastrophic location shoot in Tunisia and the subsequent breakneck dash at Elstree Studios in London§- the who's who of young film rebels who pitched in to help - including Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and Brian DePalma§§But perhaps most exciting, and rarest of all, are the interviews conducted before and during production and immediately after the release of Star Wars - in which George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Sir Alec Guinness, Anthony Daniels, composer John Williams, effects masters Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund, and John Dykstra, Phil Tippett, Rick Baker, legendary production designer John Barry, and a host of others share their fascinating tales from the trenches and candid opinions of the film that would ultimately change their lives.§§No matter how you view the spectrum of this thirty-year phenomenon, The Making of Star Wars stands as a crucial document - rich in fascination and revelation - of a genuine cinematic and cultural touchstone.
