نویسندگان: خلاصه: he torch pierced the darknessThe torch slashed through the darknessThe torch beam sliced through the darkness like a swordThe torch beam darted – yes! – across the dark hall,illuminating a wondrous collection of antique curiosities.Finely illustrated tarot cards of wizened kings andlaughing fools . . . glistening Chinese lacquer boxes concealingspring traps and secret compartments . . . intricately carvedcups of wood and ivory designed for making coins andmarbles and even fingers disappear . . . shining silver ringsthat a knowing hand could link and unlink as if they weremade of air . . .A museum of magic.The circle of light lingered on a luminous crystal ball, asif waiting for some swirling image to appear on the surface.Then it hesitated on a large bronze lantern – once home,perhaps, to a powerful genie.Finally, the torch beam found its way to a glass displaycase sitting alone on top of a black pedestal in the middle ofthe room.‘Ha! At last!’ said a woman with a voice like ice.The man behind the torch snickered. ‘Who was it thatsaid the best place to hide something was in plain sight?What an idiot.’ His accent was odd, ominous.‘Just do it!’ hissed the woman.prologueGrasping the heavy torch tight in his gloved hand,the man brought it down like an axe.

What Have They Built You to Do?: The Manchurian Candidate and Cold War America - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Considered by many to be the best political thriller ever made, The Manchurian Candidate is as entertaining, troubling, and relevant today as it was in 1962. Starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Angela Lansbury, and directed with probing insight by John Frankenheimer, the film was widely acclaimed as a masterpiece. Largely out of circulation for the next two decades, it acquired a well-deserved cult following until it was rereleased during the last year of the Reagan presidency, when its pointed satire of political and media manipulation seemed more timely than ever. In What Have They Built You to Do?—a key line of dialogue from the original film—Matthew Frye Jacobson and Gaspar Gonz?lez undertake an ambitious reexamination of The Manchurian Candidate, the 1959 novel by Richard Condon on which it was based, and—critically analyzed here for the first time—the 2004 remake directed by Jonathan Demme. Based on close readings of the film and broad investigations into the eras in which it was made and rediscovered, the authors decode the many layers of meaning within and surrounding the film, from the contradictions of the Cold War it both embodies and parodies—McCarthyism and Kennedy liberalism, individualism and conformity—to its construction of Asian villains, overbearing women, and male heroes in a society anxious about race, gender, and sexuality. Through their multifaceted analysis of The Manchurian Candidate (in all its incarnations), Jacobson and Gonz?lez raise provocative questions about power and anxiety in American politics and society from the Cold War to today. Matthew Frye Jacobson teaches American studies at Yale University. His books include Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post–Civil Rights America. Gaspar Gonz?lez is an independent scholar and journalist in Miami. He has taught American studies at Yale University and film studies at the University of Miami.
Would you convict?: seventeen cases that challenged the law - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: A police trooper inspects a car during a routine traffic stop and finds a vast cache of weapons, complete with automatic rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and black ski masks-a veritable bank robber's kit. Should the men in the car be charged? If so, with what? A son neglects to care for his elderly mother, whose emaciated form is discovered shortly before she dies a painful death. Is the son's neglect punishable, and if so how? A career con man writes one bad check too many and is sentenced to life in prison-for a check in the amount of $129.75. Is this just? A thief steals a backpack, only to find it contains a terrorist bomb. He alerts the police and saves lives, transforming himself from petty criminal to national hero. These are just a few of the many provocative cases that Paul Robinson presents and unravels in Would You Convict? Judging crimes and meting out punishment has long been an informal national pasttime. High-profile crimes or particularly brutal ones invariably prompt endless debate, in newspapers, on television, in coffee shops, and on front porches. Our very nature inclines us to be armchair judges, freely waving our metaphorical gavels and opining as to the innocence or guilt-and suitable punishment-of alleged criminals. Confronting this impulse, Paul Robinson here presents a series of unusual episodes that not only challenged the law, but that defy a facile or knee-jerk verdict. Narrating the facts in compelling, but detached detail, Robinson invites readers to sentence the transgressor (or not), before revealing the final outcome of the case. The cases described in Would You Convict? engage, shock, even repel. Without a doubt, they will challenge you and your belief system. And the way in which juries and judges have resolved them will almost certainly surprise you.

Tempt Me If You Can - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When confirmed bachelor Benjamin Sinclair receives an anonymous letter claiming he has a teenage son, he’s in shock. He tries to track down his first love, but found that she’d disappeared completely, leaving their son Michael with her sister Emma. When Ben finds that once-shy Emma Sands has blossomed into the strong, beautiful owner of a small chain of sporting camps, he signs up as a guest, hoping that in sixteen years he’s changed enough that she won’t recognize him, and he can get to know his son without complication. But Emma would recognize Ben Sinclair anywhere, anytime—and so does Michael. While Michael can’t wait to get to know his father, Emma is more cautious, fully aware that the kind of man who would abandon his pregnant girlfriend and his son is one she didn’t want around. Realizing that he’s falling in love with not only his newly discovered son, but also Emma, Ben becomes determined to find a way to make her love him back.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
