DJANGO, Hand On Fire

The Great Django Reinhardt

By: [none] EFA,Salva Rubio

Django Reinhardt is a legend. But Django -which may have meant "He who wakens"- was twice born. A first time in the snow, during the winter of 1910 in a nomadic gypsy family stationed in Liberchies, Belgium. The second in Saint-Ouen, near Paris, in the fall of 1928, when a fire in his caravan mutilated his left hand. Writer Salva Rubio and artist Efa have already produced together a remarkable biopic on Monet, paying tribute to the painter's obsession with light. Likewise, this biopic devoted to the youth of the prodigy musician features the passion and determination of the man who has always considered himself the greatest guitarist in the world. In this story-score, by laying out the panels like chords, the artist brings to life his passion in vibrating watercolor to better accompany the musical and technical development of the inventor of gypsy jazz. From musette to jazz, from violin to banjo then to guitar, Django's destiny is that of his &‘hand on fire', possessed by the supernatural spirit of the "duende" which burns in the soul of each gypsy musician. That of a miracle who is reborn from his ashes, more dazzling than ever. Cue the music!

Darkly She Goes

By: (none) Hubert

Once upon a time there was a fallen knight, who believed that saving a princess would allow him to atone for his crimes. Once upon a time there was a dark princess, who believed that it was up to her to atone for the crimes of her parents...Banished for a fault that forever taints his reputation, Arzhur wanders from tavern to field of battle in search of the next contract which will fill his purse. One night, three mysterious old women offer him to regain honor and fortune if he frees the daughter of a neighboring king, held captive in the ruins of an abandoned castle. But Islen is not the damsel in distress that he expected to save...Magnified by the virtuoso art of Vincent Mallié , Hubert questions the weight of family heritage and delivers, under the finery of a tale, an intimate reflection on our inner monsters. Darkly She Goes is an ode to redemption where determinism and free will clash, carried by two masters of the fantasy genre.

Noh Drama - Ten Plays

By: None Specified

This classic of Japanese studies presents extensive information about the history, culture and practice of Noh drama--one of Japan's most treasured dramatic art forms. Noh as an independent and original art form--ultimately destined to supersede the earlier Dengaku, Sarugaku and other song dances--incorporates the most significant elements of the former and especially of the Kusemai (tune dance).With it a new literary form may be said to have been created. The invention of Noh is attributed to Kwannami Kiyotsugu (1333-1384), a distinguished actor and writer of Sarugaku and to his son Zeami Motokiyo (1363-1443), who developed and refined the art under the patronage of Yoshimitsu, the third Ashikaga shogun. In addition to his dramatic activities, Zeami composed a number of works, the most important of which is called the Kwadensho (the Book of the Flower), or more properly, Fushi-kwadensho which he explained the nature and aesthetic principles governing Noh plays, and gave detailed instructions concerning the manner of composition, acting, direction, and production of these dramas. Combining the elements of dance, miming, music, and chants, Noh plays may be described as lyrico-dramatic tone-poems, in which the text has a function somewhat similar to that of the libretto in a Wagner or Debussy opera.

Untangling Tangleville

Stepping Out! Just as Any Town Can

By: Donald H. Hull,None NA

In our modern age, Christianity and secularism have increasingly become estranged. As Christian denominations individually attempt to promote the survival of moral and ethical standards of the past, it seems David is facing the giant Goliath . . . a supposedly losing battle. However, the followers of Christ in Tangleville discover that working together as a Christian Coalition, the giant is not quite so formidable as first thought. In the wake of the wild success of Harry Sting's show on AM KNOW, he and an Anglican priest, Canon Dr. Barclay Stedmore, 'walk their talk' of uniting the many Christian communities of Tangleville from their disparate factions. By ‘Stepping Out’ together rather than going it alone, the Christian denominations make swift progress on the road to collaboration and unity. Secularism's once-accepted standard of normality is usurped. It all began in the first novel, Tangleville: Just About Any Town Anywhere which stirred up the need of co-operation amongst believers. This sequel picks up the whys, the hows, and the victory of winning . . . Stepping Out! Just as Any Town Can. Some of the town's residents were not amused!

Britain

By: Charles Madge,None None

Britain, although not the first Mass Observation title, was the one that made its name. Britain was published as Penguin Special and is reported as selling over 100, 000 in ten days. It was published in January 1939, and seventy years on Faber Finds are reissuing it. The aim of Mass Observation was to create 'an anthropology of ourselves', to provide a study of everyday lives of ordinary people in Britain. In this book, arranged and written by Tom Harrisson and Charles Madge (two of the founders of Mass Observation) the notorious year of 1938 is anatomized. It was the year of Munich. The first half of the book deals with the unfolding crisis, culminating with Neville Chamberlain waving his scrap of paper, the agreement with Hitler, from No. 10 Downing Street. A Mass Observation observer was there. The Press gave wildly misleading impressions of the turn-out. In fact the crowd was under 5000. As the commentary tartly observes, 'No second division football club could survive on a Chamberlain gate.' A bleakly comic moment is recorded, 'P. M. stretches out his arm for silence. Several in crowd appear to take this as a Fascist salute and stretch forth their arms likewise.' Other chapters deal with the dance craze 'The Lambeth Walk', all-in wrestling, the cow's-head cult of Westhoughton (the chapter is aptly entitled A Slight Case of Totemism) and the Two Minutes' Silence on Armistice Day. As the Times said then, ' . . . With these anthropological spies among us one wonders how statesmen and journalists will ever again dare to speak and write on behalf of ''the people''. For here are ''the people''.

The Press and Its Readers

By: Mass Observation,None None

Mass Observation was founded by Tom Harrisson, Charles Madge and Humphrey Jennings in 1937. Its purpose was to create 'an anthropology of ourselves' in other words, to study the everyday lives of ordinary people in Britain. Discounting an initial pamphlet, this was the seventeenth book to be published. It appears in Faber Finds as a part of an extensive reissue programme of the original Mass Observation titles. Within the initial Mass Observation titles there was a sub-series called 'Change' reports. This is the only one, so far, Faber Finds is reissuing and it was the seventh in that sub-series, first published in 1949. In the introduction, it is made clear 'there have been successive attempts to analyse circulation by age, social class and sex' but 'little attention has been given to the study of attitudes of readers to their newspapers.' The Report, like so much else Mass Observation did then, was a pioneering study. Extracts from two chapters give a flavour of the book. In 'Readers Observed' we come across, for example: A skilled working-man, aged 60. 'Wering trilby hat, gloves, blue jacket, black striped trousers. Takes up News Chronicle. First spends 2 minutes skipping through whole contents of the frontpage, only reads thoroughly columns dealing with miners. Turns to second page and straight away reads readers' letters which are headed ''Too Old at 47''. This takes half a minute. Spends the next half minute glancing through 'Spotlight' by A. J. Cummings - this article headed ''No Iron Dukes Now''. Reads no more. Does not even glance at pages 2 and3. And in Readers Tested: A 34-year-old Essex office-manager at the end of the day (Wednesday, July 16th, 1947) could recall, at the end of the day, reading the following: 'I glanced at the front page of today's Daily Mail when I came downstairs and saw it on the hall table. I read the News Chronicle at breakfast between 8.30 and 8.45, and again at lunch between 1.30 and 1.55. I can't remember a word I read in the Daily Mail but in the chronicle there was: the libel action brought by E. Arnot Roberson. Arthur Deakin speaking on the direction of labour. The Queen had got something in her eye. A leader on newsprint. A leader on Strachey's jam announcement. A small cartoon ''How did you know I'd been abroad?'' Bevin saying the people of all nations wanted to agree. The ''American Ranger'' salvage case. Meat ration announcement. The name of the cricketer who was to be substitute in the English team for the man who was ill. Observation, analysis and commentary: the minutiae of everyday life recorded - this is vintage Mass Observation
