Original Compositions for Solo Piano by Michael Nyman, From the Award-Winning Film by Jane Campion - New Edition Including Reproductions of the Original Manuscripts
(Music Sales America). Six original compositions for solo piano, by Michael Nyman, from the award winning film by Jane Campion. English composer Michael Nyman has developed into one of the most popular, if not important, composers of film music, and his film score for the 1992 film The Piano is without doubt the most famous and familiar of his compositions. The tone of Campion's film is perfectly emphasised by Nyman's style and though much here is beautiful and rich, it is a haunting and foreboding sound picture that reflects the greys of sea, sky and spirit. Big My Secret * Deep Sleep Playing * The Mood that Passes Through You * The Attraction of the Pedalling Ankle * The Heart Asks Pleasure First the Promise/the Sacrifice * Silver-Fingered Fling
John Keats died aged just twenty-five, leaving behind some of the most exquisite and moving verse and love letters ever written, inspired by his great love for his neighbour, Fanny Brawne.

Una vez alli, establece distintas relaciones con otros americanos trasplantados, asi como con la sociedad britanica. La belleza y distincion de las que hace gala no pasan inadvertidas y son varios y de distinta laya los que la pretenden. Su eleccion final la llevara, paradojicamente, a poner de manifiesto toda su grandeza. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Henry James's beloved novel about a young woman's search for freedom in a world that seeks to tie her to convention In the wake of her father's death, young Isabel Archer decides to travel to England to visit her aunt, leaving behind the life set out for her in America and spurning the romantic overtures of her Bostonian suitor. At her aunt's country estate, Isabel is determined to plot a new course unburdened by routine. But, prodded by convention at every turn, Isabel makes a decision that not only undermines her longing for independence, but may seal her fate forever. Among one of Henry James's most timeless works, The Portrait of a Lady is a rich and nuanced depiction of human psychology and the tension between the pull of social norms and the desire for autonomy.

Touto knihou daly autorky vzniknout románu na hranici krajní originality. Příběh začíná koncem listopadu 1998, kdy se jistá australská rodina, že zachrání svou dceru Ruth, která se stala terčem zájmu indického guru. Zdrcená a vyděšená rodina uposlechne rady investovat značnou finanční částku do služeb amerického specialisty na sekty, Johna Waterse. „Tři malé krůčky,“ říká poté, co se podíval Ruth do očí a označil je za odhodlané… „do čtyřiadvaceti hodin by mohlo být po všem.“ o dva dny později, uprostřed australské buše, dochází k pomalému posunu v rozložení sil mezi psychologem a jeho klientkou. Slíbený návrat k pořádku umožňuje cestu k nádhernému chaosu. Střídavě máme možnost naslouchat hlasu Johna Waterse i Ruth a vyslechnout tak oba názory na proces „deprogramování“. To, co začíná jako duchovní bitva o podstatu víry, se mění v erotický a burácející příběh sexuální posedlosti, která dožene Johna i Ruth až do vztahu, jaký ani jeden z nich nechtěl.
