What begins in the Warsaw Ghetto...will find the music of your heart. There are secrets in one's life that when revealed change the lives of all around. A REQUIEM FOR HANIA is a story of secrets and a story of who we are, who we were once meant to be. Inspired by a true story, based purposely on musical form, the novel follows three primary characters' journeys: In 1942, Hania Stern, a young Jewish girl, and her family are caught up in the horrors of the Warsaw Ghetto. Hania survives when so many others do not survive, escaping when others do not escape. But escape is not release. Hers is the story of a soul lost, and a soul found.In 1968, Pawel Weisz, an avant-garde composer and teacher in Warsaw, knows little of his own past; what he does know he denies. At a time of great protest, anti-Semitism and attempted change in a Communist state at a crossroads, Pawel falls in a forbidden love with a radical young Jewish violinist. But the repressive State and the times in which the two men find one another prevent any real possibility of such. Theirs is a love discovered too late, leading to loss, to great pain, to exile...while in the shadows State Security watches and waits.And in 2006, Agniezka Janiec, an actor in Warsaw, seeking herself through her art, discovers at the death of her grandmother, Hannah Kielar, secrets that push her into a journey of self-discovery: about her Grandmother, about Warsaw in the Ghetto years, about where she comes from and who she is. About those lost, and those found.A REQUIEM FOR HANIA is a story of identity, of loss, of rediscovery. It is a story about friendship, about music that illuminates our common humanity, about the pain of the past and the potential for the present and for the future. It is finally a story of where we all come from, who we are...and where we ultimately are going as we find ourselves, as we grieve and as we celebrate.

In February, 2024, author Greg Dinner travelled by train from London to Krakow, there to explore and research his latest novel. He spent a day wandering the grounds of the now almost forgotten and rather dilapidated Babiniski Mental Hospital, so prevalent in 'A REQUIEM FOR HANIA' and his work in progress, 'FRAGMENTS'.From Krakow he then quietly boarded an old Soviet era train to carry him into Ukraine, a country at war for almost two years to the day.That journey was multi-purposed. He wanted to see for himself the outlines of the Ghetto in Lviv and the site of the massacre at Babyn Yar in Kyiv. He wanted to pay his respects at the grave of the writer and activist Victoria Amelina, killed in a Russian missile strike only months before: she who was a fellow traveller at bearing witness; as Greg put it, a spiritual mentor whose death left a hole in his heart. He travelled too to Ivano Frankivsk to meet young Ukrainian writers whose stories and writing touched his heart. And to Kyiv, there to meet writers and poets, filmmakers and philosophers: to hear their stories. To understand. And to bear witness.And finally he travelled with other writers to Chernihiv Oblast near the Russian border, delivering books to Russian-destroyed libraries, hearing of life under occupation, witnessing the effects of torture and destruction.His was a journey to bear witness. But it became more than that. It became a journey of self. A journey of self-discovery. It is a journey he began long ago. And it is a journey without end. These thoughts, this journal 'that is not a travelogue,' are simply thus signposts along the way.

As an influential and well-connected composer, Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) had encountered, befriended, and collaborated with hundreds of people over his significant career. In Brahms and His World: A Biographical Dictionary, author Peter Clive provides extensive and up-to-date information on the composer's personal and professional association with some 430 persons. These persons include relatives, friends, acquaintances, and physicians; fellow musicians and composers whom Brahms particularly admired and in the editions of whose works he was involved; conductors, instrumentalists, and singers who took part in notable or first performances of his works; poets whose texts he set to music; publishers and artists; and even the rulers of certain German states with whom he had significant contact. Offering information not usually available in Brahms biographies, this volume combines findings from both primary and secondary sources, giving insights into Brahms' character, his life, and his career, and shedding light on the educated middle and upper class culture of the nineteenth century. A comprehensive chronology of Brahms' life, a bibliography, and two indexes round out this important reference guide.

“Outstanding pop-culture history.” —Newsday The “smart and zippy account” (The Wall Street Journal) of how Las Vegas saved Elvis and Elvis saved Las Vegas in the greatest musical comeback of all time. Elvis’s 1969 opening night in Vegas was his first time back on a live stage in more than eight years. His career had gone sour—bad movies, mediocre pop songs that no longer made the charts—and he’d been dismissed by most critics as over-the-hill. But in Vegas he played the biggest showroom in the biggest hotel in the city, drawing more people for his four-week engagement than any other show in Vegas history. His performance got rave reviews; “Suspicious Minds,” the song he introduced there, gave him his first number-one hit in seven years; and Elvis became Vegas’s biggest star. Over the next seven years, he performed more than 600 shows there, and sold out every one. Las Vegas was changed, too. By the end of the ‘60s, Vegas’ golden age—when the Rat Pack led a glittering array of stars who made it the nation’s premier live-entertainment center—was losing its luster. Elvis created a new kind of Vegas show: an over-the-top, rock-concert extravaganza. He set a new bar for Vegas performers, with the biggest salary, the biggest musical production, and the biggest promotion campaign the city had ever seen. He opened the door to a new generation of pop/rock artists and brought a new audience to Vegas—not the traditional well-heeled older gamblers, but a mass audience from Middle America that Vegas depends on for its success to this day. At once “a fascinating history of Vegas as gambling capital, celebrity playground, mob hangout, [and] entertainment Valhalla” (Rolling Stone) and the incredible “tale of how the King got his groove back” (Associated Press), Elvis in Vegas is a classic feel-good story for the ages.

The civil war in Syria—which has claimed more than 600,000 lives and displaced over half of the country’s population since 2011—is an enormously complex conflict. The combatants include a wide array of state and nonstate forces, both Syrian and international. Adding to the war’s complexity, its many participants understand and explain the war in a range of different ways. For some, it is a fight for dignity and democracy; for others, a sectarian or communal conflict; still others see it as a fight against terrorism or a consequence of foreign interference. Ora Szekely draws on sources including in-depth interviews, conflict data, and propaganda distributed through social media to examine how these competing narratives have shaped the course of the conflict. Mapping out the broad patterns of violence among combatants and against civilians, Szekely argues that the competition to control the narrative in the eyes of important audiences at home and abroad has not only influenced the choices of participants, it has also—shaped in part by the use of social media—led many to treat warfare as a kind of performance. An insightful analysis of the forces fueling a brutal civil war, Syria Divided offers new perspectives on the performative aspects of violence, the weaponization of social media, and key features of twenty-first-century warfare.

On a summer's day in 2009 Neyra Alarcon de Alba walks home with some friends in her Mexican town of Magdalena de Kino. But Neyra Alarcon de Alba never makes it home. Neyra Alarcon will not be seen alive again. Seven years later, on October 11, 2016, the body of a young woman, mutilated, raped, unidentifiable, is found in a Brooklyn New York warehouse. She is not the first victim. She will not be the last. For former FBI agent Ryker Chase, her death, like the death of a Mexican girl seven years earlier, will push him to the limits of his understanding, and his fear. Chase has inherited abilities that he never wanted, never sought: the talents of a Shadow Wolf ICE agent stretching well beyond the training of these Native American trackers who use traditional tracking techniques for Federal Law Enforcement agencies working in the West. But he has also inherited the ability to 'see' into shadows, and into that which cannot be seen, the arts of the dream catcher, the shadow arts of one who becomes, who tracks not only with one's head, but with one's heart. While Chase tries to hide from such knowledge and vision, he cannot hide forever. Not when there are 'Others' whose existence is beyond the everyday, shadow figures such as the 'Third Man', who toys with one such as Chase, who haunts him and taunts him, who may indeed be his own twin 'other'. Chase's world is a one in which the duality of good and evil collide, where one man is but a shadow of another, a world of Native American duality in which the dark cannot exist without light, and where a Shadow Wolf may indeed be once, and forever, shadow. In such a world some are sacrificed, and for one such as Chase, a glance in a mirror reveals the twin self looking over a shoulder, waiting.... there. Working in similar milieus to such films as 'Silence of the Lambs', 'The Usual Suspects', 'The Bone Collector' against a Cormac McCarthy like landscape, 'A Murmuration of Starlings' is the first novel of the 'The Shadow Wolf Chronicles', adapted from the television series developed by Greg Dinner in association with Content Film and Television in Los Angeles and London.
