 Название: The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive
Автор: Lucy Adlington
Издательство: Hodder & Stoughton
Год: 2021
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 25 Мб
Язык: английский / English
A powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most notorious WWII death camps. At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp—mainly Jewish women and girls—were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. This fashion workshop—called the Upper Tailoring Studio—was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant’s wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin’s upper crust. | |

Дорама, корейское кино, k-pop, видеоигры, Samsung, Hyundai – эти и другие корейские слова плотно вошли в повседневную жизнь.
Сейчас Южная Корея – 15-я в мировой экономике, а Сеул выглядит как настоящий город будущего! Объем продаж корейской косметики выше, чем у Chanel и LVMH, а корейская индустрия видеоигр занимает четверть мирового рынка!

Юни Хонг, автор бестселлеров, переведенных на 15 языков мира, рассказывает, как нация, которая когда-то запретила мини-юбки, длинные волосы у мужчин и рок-н-ролл, может стать массовым поставщиком бойз-бэндов, мыльных опер и самого популярного в мире смартфона. | |

 Название: Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Writers and Artists Who Made the National Lampoon Insanely Great
Автор: Rick Meyerowitz
Издательство: Abrams
Год: 2010
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 34 Мб
Язык: английский / English
From its first issue in April, 1970, the National Lampoon blazed like a comet, defining comedy as we know it today. To create Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, former Lampoon illustrator Rick Meyerowitz selected the funniest material from the magazine and sought out the survivors of its first electrifying decade to gather their most revealing and outrageous stories. The result is a mind-boggling tour through the early days of an institution whose alumni left their fingerprints all over popular culture: Animal House, Caddyshack, Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, SCTV, Spinal Tap, In Living Color, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons—even Sesame Street counts a few Lampooners among its ranks. Long before there was The Onion and Comedy Central news shows, there was the National Lampoon, setting the bar in comedy impossibly high! A very similar title, differing only in the subtitle, was used for the 2015 documentary film, Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon, for which Rick Meyerowitz designed the poster, as he also did for the 1978 film National Lampoon's Animal House. | |
