Title: History's Greatest Artists: The Life and Legacy of Rembrandt Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Scott Clem Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Of all the famous Dutch masters during the Late Renaissance and Early Baroque periods, none surpass Rembrandt van Rijn in either historical importance or artistic merit. His aesthetic has been much-imitated, a testament to the inspirational grip they exert on their viewer. Key aspects of his style are instantly recognizable to even the casual fine art enthusiast: his penchant for chiaroscuro lighting amidst dark backgrounds; the feverish intensity of his subjects, who are often shown seemingly in action rather than composed; and the recurring use of Biblical and historical subject matter, not to mention an even more prolific output of portraits commissioned (including works commissioned by the Court of the Hague). The more educated viewer might also be aware of Rembrandt's remarkably thick handling of paint, which often seems to protrude from the canvas rather than invite a recession into space (in the Renaissance tradition.) However one recognizes a Rembrandt, however, the strength of his talents is such that encounters with his work leave an indelible imprint. That said, Rembrandt's fame derives not only from the hundreds of paintings he completed (his output is believed to total as many as several hundred works); Rembrandt is also remembered for his profligate spending habits, which famously resulted in him filing for bankruptcy in 1656. If "baroque" connotes excess, it is most appropriate that Rembrandt stands as the most famous painter of the Baroque age, as he lived well beyond his means.

Title: Roads to Mussoorie Author: Ruskin Bond Narrator: Fred Stella Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Ruskin Bond emerges again, with a delightful set of sketches set in and on the way to his beloved Mussoorie. With an endearing affection and nostalgia for his home of over 40 years, Mr Bond describes his journeys to and from Mussoorie over the years, and then delves into the daily scandals surrounding his life and friends in the (not so) sleepy hill town. The pieces in this collection are characterised by an incorrigible sense of humour and an eye for ordinary - and most often unnoticed - details that are so essential to the geographic, social and cultural fabric of a place. Roads to Mussoorie is a memorable evocation of a writer's surroundings and the role they have played in his work and life.

Sono passati 62 anni, che lui ha impiegato facendo il comico, il musicista, l'attore, il pittore, e naturalmente lo scrittore. Scorrendo l'elenco delle sue imprese (e parliamo solo di quelle professionali) sembra che Giorgio Faletti abbia vissuto mille vite. Di sicuro, scopriamo leggendo il suo nuovo libro, ne ha vissute due: "Quando" e "Ora" sono le prime due sezioni che compongono questa autobiografia fatta di musica e parole. A fare da spartiacque una frase secca che mette i brividi: "Poi, senza preavviso, sono morto. Dell'ictus che lo ha colpito nel 2002 Faletti non ha mai raccontato molto." Lo fa adesso, a dieci anni di distanza, "perché consegnare a una pagina quella confidenza significherà liberarsene una volta per tutte, sarà come appendere una carta moschicida che invece di imprigionare gli insetti blocca i brutti ricordi". Dopo quella frase nel libro la scrittura cambia, dalla prima persona si passa alla terza e Faletti gioca a raccontarsi come fosse un personaggio dei suoi romanzi. Quello che non cambia è lo sguardo che tiene insieme passato e presente, e che sceglie di raccontare, senza imbarazzo né autocompiacimento, il rovescio della medaglia. Le difficoltà, le sfide perse, i fallimenti che si nascondono dietro una vita di successi. E che, paradossalmente, di questi successi sono il nutrimento: "La felicità la vivo, - ha detto Faletti a Silvia Nucini in un'intervista per Vanity Fair. - Sono le malinconie, l'amaro in bocca che mi ispira". E nelle pagine di "Da quando a ora" l'autore ci racconta com'è che funziona l'ispirazione, mettendo in parole quei momenti intimi, quegli attimi di vita da cui, nel tempo, sono nate le sue canzoni. >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale. ©2012 Piergiorgio Nicolazzini Literary Agency (P)2016 Audible GmbH

Title: So Sad Today Author: Melissa Broder Narrator: Melissa Broder Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 08-04-16 Publisher: Jammer Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: In 2012 Melissa Broder went through a harrowing cycle of panic attacks and dread, so she began @SoSadToday, an anonymous Twitter feed that allowed her to express her darkest feelings and which quickly gained a dedicated following. In So Sad Today, Broder delves deeper into existential themes, from eating disorders, drug addiction and unusual fetishes to love, death and the drama of waiting for the universe to text you back. Narrated by the author, this is a modern-day memoir that is relatable to so many. Critic Reviews: "So Sad Today is desperately honest.... Sad and uncomfortable and its own kind of gorgeous." (Roxane Gay, best-selling author of Bad Feminist) "It would have been easy for Broder to stay anonymous and simply publish a book of @SoSadToday's most popular tweets, but instead, she chose to challenge herself in what turned out to be a triumph of unsettlingly relatable prose." (Vanity Fair)

Title: Oscar Wilde: A Biography Author: Samuel Crawford Narrator: Gabriel Benson Format: Unabridged Length: 20 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-16 Publisher: Samuel Crawford Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Artists, Writers, & Musicians Publisher's Summary: Oscar Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. He is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, as well as the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. Wilde's parents were successful Anglo-Irish Dublin intellectuals. Their son became fluent in French and German early in life. At university, Wilde read Greats; he proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Dublin, then at Oxford. He became known for his involvement in the rising philosophy of aestheticism, led by two of his tutors, Walter Pater and John Ruskin. After university, Wilde moved to London into fashionable cultural and social circles. As a spokesman for aestheticism, he tried his hand at various literary activities: He published a book of poems, lectured in the United States and Canada on the new "English Renaissance in Art", and then returned to London where he worked prolifically as a journalist. Known for his biting wit, flamboyant dress and glittering conversation, Wilde became one of the best-known personalities of his day. At the turn of the 1890s, he refined his ideas about the supremacy of art in a series of dialogues and essays, and incorporated themes of decadence, duplicity, and beauty into his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). The opportunity to construct aesthetic details precisely, and combine them with larger social themes, drew Wilde to write drama. He wrote Salome (1891) in French in Paris, but it was refused a license for England due to the absolute prohibition of biblical subjects on the English stage. Unperturbed, Wilde produced four society comedies in the early 1890s, which made him one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London.
