Imagen de apoyo de Nunca me confieso

Por: Irene Escribano Veloso | Fecha: 2008

En cada una de nosotras habita esa otra que no fuimos y que nos duplica como una sombra sobre el hombro ante el espejo. En los breves años de este siglo inaugurado, la historia de Eliana es también nuestra historia y aquí no hablo del lugar común de la vida que nos obligó o no a tomar un camino, sino de la historia que secretamente hubiéramos querido tener para alcanzar la estatura de esta luchadora que ha logrado reivindicaciones impensadas en nuestro país para las trabajadoras sexuales.

A biographical tale that follows Hollywood revolutionary Rod Serling's rise to fame in the Golden Age of Television, and his descent into his own personal Twilight Zone. PUBLICATION IN 1 VOLUME - COMPLETED WORK. We recognize him as our sharply dressed, cigarette-smoking tour guide of The Twilight Zone, but the entertainment business once regarded him as the "Angry Young Man" of Television. Before he became the revered master of science fiction, Rod Serling was a just a writer who had to fight to make his voice heard. He vehemently challenged the networks and viewership alike to expand their minds and standards--rejecting notions of censorship, racism and war. But it wasn't until he began to write about real world enemies in the guise of aliens and monsters that people lent their ears. In doing so, he pushed the television industry to the edge of glory, and himself to the edge of sanity. Rod operated in a dimension beyond that of contemporary society, making him both a revolutionary and an outsider.

Imagen de apoyo de The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story

Por: Vivek J.. Tiwary | Fecha: 2016

The Fifth Beatle is the untold true story of Brian Epstein, the visionary manager who discovered and guided The Beatles--from their gigs in a tiny cellar in Liverpool to unprecedented international stardom. Yet more than merely the story of "The Man Who Made The Beatles," The Fifth Beatle is an uplifting, tragic, and ultimately inspirational human story about the struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Brian himself died painfully lonely at the young age of thirty-two, having helped The Beatles prove through "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" that pop music could be an inspirational art form. He was homosexual when it was a felony to be so in the United Kingdom, Jewish at a time of anti-Semitism, and from Liverpool when it was considered just a dingy port town.
