Una donna di gusto non rifiuta il diamante più raro. E Jeanne, che di gusto e di diamanti se ne intende, sa che diventare l'amante di Louis Cartier è sicuramente un'offerta che non si può rifiutare. Di Cartier per le mani ne ha già avuti tanti, tutti doni dei molti uomini ricchi che ha avuto da quando è arrivata nella Parigi della Belle Époque. Alle amanti, alle cocotte come lei, si regalano gioielli sfarzosi, soprattutto nel momento dell'addio. Ma questo è un Cartier vero. Ne ha fatta di strada, Jeanne, dall'umile casa nelle Fiandre agli sfarzi del Ritz, dei vestiti lussuosi, delle notti folli, dei Picasso e dei Matisse, delle Folies Bergère e del Casinò. Puoi avere tutto, l'importante è non innamorarsi mai, mettere al riparo il cuore, questo le ripetono le amiche. Infrangendo la regola, Jeanne si innamora di Louis alla follia, ricambiata. La loro è una passione travolgente, è ammirazione e ispirazione reciproca. Lui diventa il suo pigmalione. Perché Jeanne non è come le altre. Ha qualcosa in più, è una visionaria, una maga, una che sa leggere nei sogni delle donne e trasformarli in gioielli innovativi e irresistibili. Ma, come accade spesso alle donne che amano appassionatamente, per lei non solo le rose, anche i diamanti, hanno le spine.

A captivating novel based on the story of the extraordinary real-life American woman who secretly worked for the French Resistance during World War II—while playing hostess to the invading Germans at the iconic Hôtel Ritz in Paris—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Aviator's Wife and The Swans of Fifth Avenue. “A compelling portrait of a marriage and a nation at war from within.”—Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network Nothing bad can happen at the Ritz; inside its gilded walls every woman looks beautiful, every man appears witty. Favored guests like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor walk through its famous doors to be welcomed and pampered by Blanche Auzello and her husband, Claude, the hotel’s director. The Auzellos are the mistress and master of the Ritz, allowing the glamour and glitz to take their minds off their troubled marriage, and off the secrets that they keep from their guests—and each other. Until June 1940, when the German army sweeps into Paris, setting up headquarters at the Ritz. Suddenly, with the likes of Hermann Goëring moving into suites once occupied by royalty, Blanche and Claude must navigate a terrifying new reality. One that entails even more secrets and lies. One that may destroy the tempestuous marriage between this beautiful, reckless American and her very proper Frenchman. For in order to survive—and strike a blow against their Nazi “guests”—Blanche and Claude must spin a web of deceit that ensnares everything and everyone they cherish. But one secret is shared between Blanche and Claude alone—the secret that, in the end, threatens to imperil both of their lives, and to bring down the legendary Ritz itself. Based on true events, Mistress of the Ritz is a taut tale of suspense wrapped up in a love story for the ages, the inspiring story of a woman and a man who discover the best in each other amid the turbulence of war. Praise for Mistress of the Ritz “No one writes of the complexities of women’s lives and loves like Melanie Benjamin. In Mistress of the Ritz, Benjamin brings wartime Paris brilliantly to life. . . . Intense, illuminating, and ultimately inspiring!”—Elizabeth Letts, New York Times bestselling author of Finding Dorothy

A Lost Lady is a novel by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1923. It centers on Marian Forrester, her husband Captain Daniel Forrester, and their lives in the small western town of Sweet Water, along the Transcontinental Railroad. However, it is mostly told from the perspective of a young man named Niel Herbert, as he observes the decline of both Marian and the West itself, as it shifts from a place of pioneering spirit to one of corporate exploitation. Exploring themes of social class, money, and the march of progress, A Lost Lady was praised for its vivid use of symbolism and setting, and is considered to be a major influence on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted to film twice, with a film adaptation being released in 1924, followed by a looser adaptation in 1934, starring Barbara Stanwyck. A Lost Lady begins in the small railroad town of Sweet Water, on the undeveloped Western plains. The most prominent family in the town is the Forresters, and Marian Forrester is known for her hospitality and kindness. The railroad executives frequently stop by her house and enjoy the food and comfort she offers while there on business. A young boy, Niel Herbert, frequently plays on the Forrester estate with his friend. One day, an older boy named Ivy Peters arrives, and shoots a woodpecker out of a tree. He then blinds the bird and laughs as it flies around helplessly. Niel pities the bird and tries to climb the tree to put it out of its misery, but while climbing he slips, and breaks his arm in the fall, as well as knocking himself unconscious. Ivy takes him to the Forrester house where Marian looks after him. When Niel wakes up, he's amazed by the nice house and how sweet Marian smells. He doesn't't see her much after that, but several years later he and his uncle, Judge Pommeroy, are invited to the Forrester house for dinner. There he meets Ellinger, who he will later learn is Mrs. Forrester's lover, and Constance, a young girl his age.

Stesa sul lettone della villa di Monza, il petroliere Ettore Tagliabue le fa chiudere gli occhi e le infila all'anulare un cerchio neanche tanto leggero. Quando Ljuba Rosa alza la palpebra, mette a fuoco un diamante di 26 carati grande come una noce. A vent'anni e poco più, dopo le sofferenze della Seconda guerra mondiale, il freddo vissuto da sfollata in Valle Staffora e una violenza subita, Ljuba finalmente sorride grazie a quella pietra che le illumina il futuro, un brillante che chiamerà "brillo". Bellissima, occhi cerbiatti, con quell'uomo tanto più grande di lei incontra i potenti della Terra come Onassis o Churchill; si intrattiene con il principe Aly Khan, frequenta Edda Ciano che le insegna l'importanza di avere in tasca un sacchetto di brilli. Ma soprattutto Tagliabue la porta a vivere le emozioni più forti, quelle della roulette. Anche la contessa Marina Cicogna, incrociata per caso a Cortina, è un incontro per la vita. Con lei Ljuba vive l'allegria e s'immerge nel jet set con Alain Delon, Brando Brandolini, Edmond de Rothschild o Gianni Agnelli, fil rouge (quasi) per sempre. Però è con Andrea Rizzoli, figlio del Commenda che aveva costruito un impero editoriale, che Ljuba diventa donna e soprattutto mamma di Isabellina, il suo amore totale. Con loro vive a Cap-Ferrat, in Costa Azzurra, in una villa pieds dans l'eau che ospita i grandi del cinema italiano, da Fellini a Sordi alla splendida Silvana Mangano. Sono gli anni d'oro. Finché una serie di eventi tragici, il tracollo finanziario, la morte del marito e poi della figlia segnano l'inizio di un periodo buio. Periodo attraversato solo da bagliori accecanti di dolore, al quale è sopravvissuta per raccontarci, come si chiacchiera con gli amici di sempre, la sua incredibile vita.

“Nabokovian in his caustic charm and sexy intelligence, Simic perceives the mythic in the mundane and pinpoints the perpetual suffering that infuses human life with both agony and bliss. . . . And he is the master of juxtaposition, lining up the unlikeliest of pairings and contrasts as he explores the nexuses of madness and prophecy, hell and paradise, lust and death.”—Donna Seaman, Booklist "As one reads the pithy, wise, occasionally cranky epigrams and vignettes that fill this volume, there is the definite sense that we are getting a rare glimpse into several decades worth of private journals--and, by extension are privy to the tickings of an accomplished and introspective literary mind."—Rain Taxi Written over many years, this book is a collection of notebook entries by our current Poet Laureate. Excerpts: Stupidity is the secret spice historians have difficulty identifying in this soup we keep slurping. Ars poetica: trying to make your jailers laugh. American identity is really about having many identities simultaneously. We came to America to escape our old identities, which the multiculturalists now wish to restore to us. Ambiguity is the world’s condition. Poetry flirts with ambiguity. As a “picture of reality” it is truer than any other. This doesn’t mean that you’re supposed to write poems no one understands. The twelve girls in the gospel choir sang as if dogs were biting their asses. What an outrage! This very moment gone forever!

With nearly 400 scores to his credit, Ennio Morricone is one of the most prolific and influential film composers working today. He has collaborated with many significant directors, and his scores for such films as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; Once Upon a Time in America; Days of Heaven; The Mission; The Untouchables; Malèna; and Cinema Paradiso leave moviegoers with the conviction that something special was achieved—a conviction shared by composers, scholars, and fans alike. In Composing for the Cinema: The Theory and Praxis of Music in Film, Morricone and musicologist Sergio Miceli present a series of lectures on the composition and analysis of film music. Adapted from several lectures and seminars, these lessons show how sound design can be analyzed and offer a variety of musical solutions to many different kinds of film. Though aimed at composers, Morricone’s expositions are easy to understand and fascinating even to those without any musical training. Drawing upon scores by himself and others, the composer also provides insight into his relationships with many of the directors with whom he has collaborated, including Sergio Leone, Giuseppe Tornatore, Franco Zeffirelli, Warren Beatty, Ridley Scott, Roland Joffé, the Taviani Brothers, and others. Translated and edited by Gillian B. Anderson, an orchestral conductor and musicologist, these lessons reveal Morricone’s passion about musical expression. Delivered in a conversational mode that is both comprehensible and interesting, this groundbreaking work intertwines analysis with practical details of film music composition. Aimed at a wide audience of composers, musicians, film historians, and fans, Composing for the Cinema contains a treasure trove of practical information and observations from a distinguished musicologist and one of the most accomplished composers on the international film scene.
