Nicole Kidman Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

The acclaimed biography by Jeffrey Robinson, now revised and updated to coincide with the major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace. It was one of the most famous romances of the 20th century—Europe’s most eligible bachelor, Prince Rainier of Monaco, and America’s most beautiful movie star, the Academy Award-winning actress Grace Kelly, fell in love against the backdrop of the closest thing the modern world has to a magical kingdom, the French Riviera’s Principality of Monaco. Told with affection and humor, and written with the unprecedented cooperation of Prince Rainier III and his children, Prince Albert, Princess Caroline, and Princess Stephanie, Grace of Monaco takes readers beneath the surface glitz and the glamour of Monte Carlo for a never-to-be-forgotten portrait of the House of Grimaldi.

Stanislavski, Strasberg, Meisner, Adler, Berghoff, Hagen, Mamet . . . now Batson. In TRUTH, the most sought after acting guru in Hollywood and on Broadway distills her half century's experience as an actor, director, teacher, and personal coach into a step by step process for creating a character from first read-through to final performance. Debunking a century's worth of myths about "method acting," Batson identifies the unifying forces of Need, Public Persona, and Tragic Flaw to unite the actor with his or her character. TRUTH shows how actively defining and understanding these three principles leads to the most truthful performances possible. A must-read for beginning actors, a wake-up call for working actors, and an indispensable reference for writers, TRUTH reveals the inner game of telling stories and creating vivid, three-dimensional life from words on a page.

Portrét dámy je klasické dielo americkej literatúry 19. storočia. Jamesova tvorba je charakterizovaná jemným, zato však precíznym rukopisom, zmyslom pre detail a psychológiu postáv. V Portréte dámy rozvíja príbeh svojej najkrajšej ženskej literárnej postavy, Isabel Archerovej, mladej Newyorčanky, ktorej život zmení návšteva zámožnej tety, pani Touchettovej, žijúcej vo Florencii. Isabel ju sprevádza späť do Európy a svoje okolie fascinuje krásou, inteligenciou i temperamentom. Mladá slobodomyseľná dáma tvrdošijne odmieta ponuky na sobáš, ale keď ju strýko veľkoryso zahrnie do svojho závetu, jej život sa uberie nečakanou cestou.
