Soon after Al Pacino asked author Lawrence Grobel to join him on his quest to film the evolution of Salome, Oscar Wilde's notorious play, the actor decided Grobel should play an even bigger role. "I want you in my movie!" he declared, and so began a rollicking journey through the back alleys of Wilde's 19th century world, an exploratory jaunt, captured on film, that took the actor and author from Dublin and London to Paris, and finally to the hot desert sands of a dry lake bed and the neon lit stages of Las Vegas. Grobel makes his big-screen movie debut, appearing as Pacino's biographer, ...

Pela primeira vez, depois de cinco anos elaborando, ele revela em detalhes essa história, em um relato inédito e profundo que descortina a cena roqueira de uma geração.

Robert Crumb is often credited with single-handedly transforming the comics medium into a place for adult expression, in the process pioneering the underground comic book industry, and transforming the vernacular language of 20th-century America into an instantly recognizable and popular aesthetic, as iconic as Walt Disney or Charles Schulz.

For generations, the great palaces of Britain were home to living histories, noble families that had reigned for centuries.

Their new neighbors—from chorus girls to millionaire greengrocers to guano impresarios—lacked lineage and were unencumbered by the weight of tradition. In The Power and the Glory, historian Adrian Tinniswood reconstructs life in the country house during its golden age before the Great War.
