HAWAII (1966) Review - ***

What makes an epic? Is it length? On that count, Hawaii would qualify; the full roadshow version (which I watched on VHS – it’s not readily available) runs 189 minutes with overture, intermission, and exit music, and even the readily available version runs 160. Is it subject? Well, it deals with the colonization and Christianization of Hawaii in the 19th century and was based on James A.…

I was born to a woman I never knew and raised by another who took in orphans. I do not know my background, my lineage, my biological or cultural heritage. But when I meet someone new, I treat them with respect.... For after all, they could be my people.

The Hokusai Sketch-Books: Selections from the Manga

James A. Michener

Charles E. Tuttle 1958

This is a gem of a book. Written and edited by novelist James Michener, this is an absolutely lovely production of an important book. While this copy is a stated first edition, it is stamped as a review copy, and I think it was originally issued with a printed dust jacket. But the real joy of this book is Hokusai’s incredible work. With hundreds of images printed in three colors and organized by theme—people, fauna, flora, landscape, etc.—Hokusai’s brush breathes life into even the most mundane of scenes. And the images are of such finished quality and depth that calling them “sketchbooks” feels like a gross understatement.

[Colazione da Truman][Lawrence Grobel]

A metà strada tra il gossip letterario e la riflessione culturale su un’epoca mitica, "Colazione da Truman" offre il ritratto del Novecento americano e dei suoi protagonisti, dalla viva voce di un testimone d’eccezione.

«Tutta la letteratura è pettegolezzo». Così Truman Capote, il maestro del new journalism, liquida con una delle sue abituali provocazioni antiletterarie qualsiasi visione sacrale dell’arte e dell’artista. È il Capote più irriverente quello che emerge dalle pagine di questo libro-intervista, in cui Lawrence Grobel ha raccolto due anni di incontri e conversazioni con l’autore di “A sangue freddo”.…

I have been to paradise and these are the things I love the most,warm and clear translucent turquoise waters .Then white coral sands and the sound of the surf. Palm trees swaying gentle all over the islands, the rhythm of the Polynesian love songs , and the gentle smiles of the locals.Their dishes and drinks so unique to this part of the world.The slow and easygoing lifestyle to which I have gotten used to, the spring and summer rains that are so refreshing.The morning rituals, fresh brewed coffee, the fruit juice, and the hard to come by eggs to make my scrambled eggs.The toast spread with the local guava jam. The morning strolls and my Bible ,Tales of the South Pacific by James Michener. A book that I will never get tired of reading and rereading. And what seduced me the most to come here ,the paintings of a French painter that fell in love with Tahiti, Paul Gauguin .So many wonderful reasons that make my reality in paradise an unforgettable one at this point in my life.I consider myself so lucky to have been able to manifest my dreams ,I’m so grateful and blessed to be living my life in paradise.My blessings to all of you who are following your heart to paradise.Words by Sergio GuymanProust.
