The Maker of Gargoyles and Other Stories

Clark Ashton Smith


  The Maker of Gargoyles and Other Stories  Clark Ashton Smith  Book DescriptionClark Ashton Smith was a prodigy, who wrote Arabian Nights novels in his mid-teens and was heralded as a major voice in American poetry by the time he was nineteen. In one frantic burst in the middle 1930s, he wrote nearly a hundred strange, wondrous, and grotesque stories, most of which were published in Weird Tales, Strange Tales, Wonder Stories, and other pulps, but he was by no means a conventional pulp writer. A direct heir to Edgar Allan Poe and to the late Romantics and Decadents, a translator of Baudelaire, Smith wrote in baroque, jeweled prose of distant times and remote planets, of baleful magics and reanimated corpses, lost lovers, eldritch gods, and inexorable fate. He is also a writer whose works refuse to die, even after nearly a century. Think of him as the sorcerer-poet, alone in his eyrie in the dry California hills, dreaming his strange dreams and creating his unique worlds-of Zothique, the Earth's haunted last conti- nent at the end of time,...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionClark Ashton Smith was a prodigy, who wrote Arabian Nights novels in his mid-teens and was heralded as a major voice in American poetry by the time he was nineteen.

The Trials of Lenny Bruce: The Fall and Rise of an American Icon

Ronald K. L. Collins


  The Trials of Lenny Bruce: The Fall and Rise of an American Icon  Ronald K. L. Collins  Book DescriptionLenny Bruce?s words had the power to provoke laughter and debate?as well as shock and outrage. It was the force of his voice that would place him on the wrong side of the law in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Lenny committed his life to telling the truth. But the truth he told infuriated those in power, and authorities in the largest, most progressive cities in the country worked relentlessly to put him in jail. To them, Lenny?s words were filthy, depraved. But to his fans?the hip, the discontented, the fringe?his words were not only sharp and hilarious, they were a light in the dark to the repressed society of the early 1960s. Lenny?s battles were fought on stage and in the courtroom?against cops in San Francisco and L.A. who took notes at his performances, against judges in Chicago and against a prosecutor in New York with a zeal to bring the comedian down. Lenny also fought his addiction to heroin and,...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionLenny Bruce?s words had the power to provoke laughter and debate?as well as shock and outrage.
