Twentieth Century (Full Frame) : Often imitated but never equaled, "Twentieth Century" is a landmark in movie history: the very first screwball comedy ever produced. The prototype for free-wheeling farces ranging from "His Girl Friday" to "Something Wild," Howard Hawks' rapid-fire romantic comedy established the essential ingredients of the "screwball" a dizzy dame, a charming but befuddled hero, dazzling dialogue and a dash of slapstick. John Barrymore stars as Oscar Jaffe, an egomaniacal Broadway director who transforms a sexy salesclerk (Carole Lombard) into a temperamental superstar. When their hilarious, histrionic love affair eventually ends, her career remains red-hot while his turns stone cold. Hoping to lose his creditors and regain his stature, Barrymore buys a ticket on the "Twentieth Century," a luxury train bound for California. To his delight, Lombard is also aboard, offering him one last chance at professional and romantic success. As inspired as Robin Williams and as influential as Charlie Chaplin, Barrymore created the fast-talking, slapstick style of acting that comedians copy to this day. More than a clas...

Warburgs: The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family by Ron Chernow, ISBN 0679743596 : Bankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German (and, later, of German-American) Jewry. They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries, endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents. But their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods for anti-Semitism, and their sense of patriotism became increasingly dangerous in a Germany that had declared Jews the enemy. Ron Chernow's hugely fascinating history is a group portrait of a clan whose members were renowned for their brilliance, culture, and personal energy yet tragically vulnerable to the dark and irrational currents of the twentieth century.

Twitchell, ISBN 0609807234 : James Twitchell takes an in-depth look at the ads and ad campaigns--and their creators--that have most influenced our culture and marketplace in the twentieth century. P. T.

The Caedmon Poetry Collection: A Century of Poets Reading Their Work by Caedmon's Audio, ISBN 0694522783 : A rare and thrilling listening experience. A choice gathering of some of the twentieth century's greatest poetry... read by the century's greatest poets - here available on CD A reawakened love for the sound of poetry has made modern poems subtly different from the poems of the eighteenth and nineteenth centures. We have only to listen to these poets reading their own works to know how important their interpretations are to a full comprehension of their poems. The ministerial intonations of Eliot, the passionate orchestrations of Thomas, the very very precise formulations of Cummings, the easy conversational inflection of Frost are integral, lending subtle clarifications which go beyond the printed page. The fact that this recording includes the voice of Yeats is something of a miracle. In the early 1930's, when the thought of recording poets occurred to few, Yeats himself made several recordings for radio broadcast. By sheer luck, an unmutilated copy was preserved; and now the rich and melodious voice can be heard by a new generation. The Caedmon Poetry Collection eliminates the struggle fo...
Pandora by Anne Rice, ISBN 0345422384 : Anne Rice, creator of the Vampire Lestat, the Mayfair witches and the amazing worlds they inhabit, now gives us the first in a new series of novels linked together by the fledgling vampire David Talbot, who has set out to become a chronicler of his fellow Undead. The novel opens in present-day Paris in a crowded cafe, where David meets Pandora. She is two thousand years old, a Child of the Millennia, the first vampire ever made by the great Marius.

She carries us back to her mortal girlhood in the world of Caesar Augustus, a world chronicled by Ovid and Petronius. This is where Pandora meets and falls in love with the handsome, charismatic, lighthearted, still-mortal Marius. This is the Rome she is forced to flee in fear of assassination by conspirators plotting to take over the city. And we follow her to the exo...
Century of Warfare: The World at War (Full Frame) : The human race achieved many positive goals during the Twentieth Century, but there is no denying that these years also featured more carnage per capita than ever before. The 1900s opened with brutal conflicts in South Africa and the Philippines that set the tone for the decades that would follow. Imperialist aggression, ideological clashes, and the eruption of strong class antagonisms worldwide conspired to keep the cauldron of war at a rolling boil throughout this period. Inevitably, organizations like the League of Nations and the United Nations arose to confront the problem, but "A Century Of Warfare" dramatizes the colossal extent of their failure, thus far. Deluxe booklet included. Packaged in a Collectible Tin.

Common Ground: Reimagining American History by Gary Y. Okihiro, ISBN 0691070075 : In "Common Ground, Gary Okihiro uses the experiences of Asian Americans to reconfigure the ways in which American history can be understood. He examines a set of binaries--East and West, black and white, man and woman, heterosexual and homosexual--that have structured the telling of our nation's history and shaped our ideas of citizenship since the late nineteenth century. Okihiro not only exposes the artifice of these binaries but also offers a less rigid and more embracing set of stories on which to ground a national history.Influenced by European hierarchical thinking in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Anglo Americans increasingly categorized other newcomers to the United States. Binaries formed in the American imagination, creating a sense of coherence among white citizens during times of rapid and far-reaching social change. Within each binary, however, Asian Americans have proven disruptive: they cannot be fully described as either Eastern or Western; they challenge the racial categories of black and white; and within the gender and sexual binaries of man and woman, ...
