Die 40er Jahre waren das Jahrzehnt des Kinos. Die Welt führte Krieg und Regisseure servierten den zahllosen Kinobesuchern einer fernsehlosen Zeit alles von Propaganda bis hin zu Traumwelten, die die nüchterne Realität vergessen ließen. In einigen Ländern gab es aber auch Tendenzen in Richtung Realismus. In Italien manifestierte sich der Widerstandgeist in neorealistischen Meisterwerken wie Vittorio de Sicas Fahrraddiebe (1948) und Hollywood erlebte die vermutlich kreativste Phase seiner Geschichte. Nie zuvor hatte die Traumfabrik so viele kantige und experimentelle Filme auf die Leinwand gebracht. Ein Meilenstein dieser Epoche war Orson Welles extravagantes Debüt Citizen Kane (1941); Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner und Lauren Bacall wurden zeitlose Ikonen eines schwarzweissen Zelluloid-Universums und Humphrey Bogart (The Big Sleep, 1945) wurde zum Inbegriff der Coolness. Diese Filme rüttelten an der ehrenhaften Fassade amerikanischen Selbstbewusstseins und ein neues Genre stellte die Identi...

Twenty-four-year-old Mary Kendricks is a vivacious young teacher living in the quiet Northern town of Highford, her beauty turning heads wherever she goes. But when she catches the eye of Robert Carter, initial flattery quickly turns dangerous. Wherever she goes, Carter is not far behind and Mary soon becomes stifled by his attention, telling friends of her fears that he's getting too close. And then Mary's body is discovered, stabbed to death in her own bedroom. The case quickly garners the attention of the press, all baying for Carter's blood. It's the case no lawyer wants to touch--until criminal defense lawyer Dan Grant, aided by investigator Jayne Brett, agrees to represent Carter. While Robert Carter admits to being at her house when it happened--the bloody fingerprint on her wall placing him at the scene--he insists he is innocent of her death. The police believe they've got their man, but as they delve further into the investigation, Grant and Brett thin...

HELENE by VICKI BAUM "THE young girl sat in a fourthclass carriage of a local train, which was making its way with considerable speed through the night, in order to reach the main station at Frankfurt at the scheduled time. The February night seemed to consist entirely of black glass, lit occasionally by flashes from the windows of passr ing trains and then becoming opaque again, streaked with black rivulets of rain blown on small gusts of wind from the northeast. The air in this fourthclass carriage was heavy beneath the small, gloomy gasjets and the panes were fogged with the breath of sleeping humanity. The young girl, Fraulein Willfuera student of chemistry, to be exactwas not, however, asleep, but was sitting up right on the seat, with a tired and yet alert expression on her face. She had given up her corner seat to a woman who was holding a baby on her kp and was apparently expecting another child a young, wornout, working woman, who let her mouth fall open in sleep and was ...

The German rulers were forceful and powerful men, and, surrounded by potential enemies, circumstances dictated the necessity of rule by strength based on military capacity. In the later 15th century, three houses rose above the others; the families of Wittelsbach, Luxemburg and the powerful Austrian Hapsburgs. The struggles of these and other houses, and of the knights and towns, were to be a feature of German history throughout the Middle Ages. This title details the dress, weapons, heraldry and insignia of these prolific forces. Product details Format Paperback | 48 pages Dimensions ...

In the 1920's, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands were among the world's last wild places. Largely unmapped and inhabited by headhunters and cannibals, these jungle islands of the Coral Sea captured the popular imagination as examples of the unknown. Many adventurers went to these remote islands, the least likely of whom were two young American women, Caroline Mytinger and Margaret Warner who set out from San Francisco in 1926 armed with little more than art supplies and a ukelele, used by Margaret to entertain sitters while Caroline painted their portraits. Mytinger and Warner went chasing adventure in the name of science, something rarely done by women at the time, and they did it in the face of universal dissapproval and even terror on the part of their families, who didn't expect them to come back alive. Not only that, but they had virtually no money and no scientific support or backing. But live they did, and they brought back beautiful paintings and the fascin...
