*Includes pictures *Includes Mata Hari's quotes about her own life *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "I am a woman who enjoys herself very much; sometimes I lose, sometimes I win." - Mata Hari Margeretha Geertruida Zelle, better known to history by the exotic, glamorous name of Mata Hari, was a woman who profited greatly from the power of illusion during much of her brief life. Born to a hatter named Adam Zelle and his wife Antje van der Meulen, Mata Hari moved from a financially rewarding but miserable marriage to circus performances to exotic dancing and celebrity to the role of ostensible international spy in an arc that ended tragically in front of a French firing squad. To a certain degree, Mata Hari's entire adult life represented a triumph of advertising. Just as advertising depicts products in such a way that they are associated with other desirable things that have little or nothing to do with the items themselves - romantic or sexual success, beautiful landscapes or exotic locations, excitement, financial success, youth and attractiveness, and so on - Mata Hari created an aura of mysterious glamour around herself to sell to the public, something that would never have happened had she merely been seen for what she was, a Dutch courtesan with elaborate costumes. However, just as illusion had served her well in creating notable fame and transitory fortune, phantasms and lies ultimately destroyed Mata Hari. Rashly entangling herself in the foreign affairs of France and Germany during the bitter years of World War I, the exotic dancer found herself completely out of her depth. Used briefly as a pawn by both sides, Mata Hari met her fate when the Germans deliberately incriminated her and the French cynically sacrificed her as a scapegoat for their military failures. Executed by firing squad and subjected to the macabre ritual of having her severed, preserved head retained for decades at a French medical school as a kind of bizarre trophy, Mata Hari ironically won the everlasting fame she craved. She also tragically contributed one final legend to the shared mythology of humanity: that of the seductive female super-spy who uses both a keenly devious intellect and irresistible feminine wiles to change the fate of nations and empires. It's still a powerful archetype, despite being a far cry from the reality of the actual Mata Hari. The French Army itself also contributed strongly to the legend of Mata Hari. To protect state secrets, and perhaps to conceal their own judicial wrongdoing, the French military court sealed all of the trial records for 100 years - until late 2017, when all involved would assuredly be dead. A journalist, Alain Presles, and an author, Sam Waagenaar, both claimed to have read and even copied the secret file, but the veracity of their claim remains unknown until the files are opened to the public and whatever portion of the truth they contain is made known to pierce the swirling mist of rumor and deception surrounding the death of Mata Hari. Mata Hari: The Controversial Life and Legacy of World War I's Most Famous Spy looks at the intrigue and mystery surrounding one of history's most famous women spies. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Mata Hari like never before.

Dancer. Courtesan. Spy. Executed by a French firing squad in 1917. 100 years on from her death, questions are still raised about her conviction. Now, the lesser-known, often tragic story of the woman who claimed she was born a princess, and died a figure of public hatred with no one to claim her body, is told by breakout talent writer Emma Beeby (Judge Dredd), artist Ariela Kristantina (Insexts), and colorist Pat Masioni drawing on biographies and released MI5 files. In this first part of a five-issue miniseries, we meet Mata Hari in prison at the end of her life as she writes her memoirÑpart romantic tale of a Javanese princess who performed ''sacred'' nude dances for Europe's elite, and part real-life saga of a disgraced wife and mother, who had everything she loved taken from her. But, as she sits trial for treason and espionage, we hear another tale: one of a flamboyant Dutch woman who became ''the most dangerous spy France has ever captured''Ña double agent who whored herself for secrets, lived a life of scandal, and loved only money. Leading us to ask . . . who was the real Mata Hari? Mature readers.

Despite an often unfair reputation as being less popular, less successful, or less refined than their bona-fide Broadway counterparts, Off Broadway musicals deserve their share of critical acclaim and study. A number of shows originally staged Off Broadway have gone on to their own successful Broadway runs, from the ever-popular A Chorus Line and Rent to more off-beat productions like Avenue Q and Little Shop of Horrors. And while it remains to be seen if other popular Off Broadway shows like Stomp, Blue Man Group, and Altar Boyz will make it to the larger Broadway theaters, their Off Broadway runs have been enormously successful in their own right. This book discusses more than 1,800 Off Broadway, Off Off Broadway, showcase, and workshop musical productions. It includes detailed descriptions of Off Broadway musicals that closed in previews or in rehearsal, selected musicals that opened in Brooklyn and in New Jersey, and American operas that opened in New York, along with general overviews of Off Broadway institutions such as the Light Opera of Manhattan. The typical entry includes the name of the host theater or theaters; the opening date and number of performances; the production's cast and creative team; a list of songs; a brief plot synopsis; and general comments and reviews from the New York critics. Besides the individual entries, the book also includes a preface, a bibliography, and 21 appendices including a discography, filmography, a list of published scripts, and lists of musicals categorized by topic and composer.

She writes here of her years at Roedean: 'For years I could cheer myself up just by remembering I wasn't there', her 'mis-spent youth and shenanigans of various sorts' at Cambridge University and her rich, varied and ground-breaking career working and writing for the British media. With the same frankness and honesty that have given her columns such a loyal fanbase, she talks of her marriage to Gavin Lyall, the challenges of motherhood and life going on after her husband's death.
