Hell ​House

Aurelien Ferenczi - Masters ​of Cinema: Tim Burton
Tim ​Burton (USA, b. 1958) is the youngest of Hollywood's most successful directors. He has the knack of making films with a very broad appeal, taking the silliness out of the representation of children, while remaining in touch with the child within himself and his audiences. Burton emerged as a director and storyteller after working as an animator for Disney. His meeting with Johnny Depp enabled him to give physical form to the heroes of his imaginary worlds, where fear is mixed with laughter, strange is normal and those who are not normal, such as "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), must be preserved. After "Beetlejuice" (1988) and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (2005), the resolutely boyish Burton, now in his fifties, presents his version of "Alice in Wonderland" (2010).

With ​each new technological advance, pornography has proliferated and degraded in quality. Today, porn is everywhere, but where is it art? _25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom_ surveys the history of pornography and argues that the success and vibrancy of a society relates to its permissiveness in sexual matters.

Beginning with the Venus of Willendorf, created between 24,000-22,000 bce, and book-ended by contemporary photography, it also contains a timeline covering major erotic works in several cultures. _25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom_ ably captures the ancient and insuppressible creative drive of the sexual spirit, making this book a treatise on erotic art.

Norah Lofts - Hester ​Roon
Ennek ​az Amerikában nemrégen feltünt regényíró üstökösnek uj könyvét visszük a magyar közönség elé. Aki elolvasta "...Mint a falevél" c. magyarul már megjelent regényét, az bizonyára lelkes bámulójává szegődött az írónőnek. Az olvasó nem is tudja, mit csodáljon inkább, a rendkívül érdekfeszítő mesét, vagy a bámulatosan erőteljes jellemrajzot. Ez a kettő kevés irónál egyesül ilyen mértékben. A "Hester Roon" mesteri, lenyügöző alkotás. Cselekménye kétszáz évvel ezelőtt játszódik. Hősnője törvénytelen gyerek, akit anyja két éven át titokban nevel a padlás-szobájában. Az anya maga is törvénytelen származásu, attól félti kisleányát, hogy ennek sorsa is olyan lesz, mint amilyen az övé. Ezért rossz utra tér, csakhogy megmenthesse ettól gyermekét. De az élet másként határoz s Hester még serdülő kora előtt egyedül marad a világon. Úgylátszik mégis csak az lesz a sorsa, ami anyjáé volt, a hajszolt rabszolgáé. De az erőss jellemű fiatal leány megszökik és minden támasz nélkül nekivág az életnek. Mindig kalandok és izgalmak után vágyódott, most bőven van része ezekben. Hamarosan rossz társaságba kerül és a vége az, hogy mint fegyencet szállítják egyik nyugat-indiai szigetre. Itt végre rámosolyog a szerencse. Türhető élet vár reá. Ekkor már tizennyolc éves, szép leány. Az első szerelem napja is fölkel szivében, de egy rabszolgalázadás drámai fordulattal világosítja fel tévedéséről. Eljut-e végül mégis a biztos kikötőbe a szép Hester Roon? Elkoptatott frázis, ha azt mondják egy regényről hogy nem lehet letenni kézből. De a Hester Roon csakugyan ilyen regény.

From the story of Steffie Cvek, a harassed and vulnerable typist whose life is shaped entirely by clichés as she searches relentlessly for an elusive romantic love in a narrative punctuated by threadbare advice from women's magazines and constructed like a sewing pattern, to "The Kharms Case," one of Ugresic's funniest stories ever about the strained relationship between a persistent translator and an unresponsive publisher, the pieces in this collection are always smart and endlessly entertaining.
