Trilby $8.95 First published in 1894, the story of the diva Trilby O'Ferrall and her mesmeric mentor, Svengali, has entered the popular imagination. George Du Maurier's drawings for the novel form part of its appeal – this edition includes his most significant illustrations. – ;'You shall see nothing, hear nothing, think of nothing but Svengali, Svengali, Svengali!' First published in 1894, the story of the diva Trilby O'Ferrall and her mesmeric mentor, Svengali, has entered the mythology of the time alongside Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Immensely popular for a number of years, the novel led to a hit play, a series of popular films, and the trilby hat. The setting of the story reflects the author's bohemian years as an art student in Paris; indeed James McNeill Whistler was to recognize himself in one of the early serialized instalments. George Du Maurier was a celebrated caricaturist for Punch magazine and his drawings for the novel form part of its appeal – this edition includes his most significantillustrations. -

Trilby by Du Maurier, George [Paperback] $13.77 George du Maurier (18341896) was a Frenchborn British cartoonist and most notably, an author. The caricaturist abandoned painting for drawing when he was blinded in one eye. His skilled draftsmanship and engaging personality quickly established his success. Mauriers drawings for English illustrated periodicals such as Punch, Once a Week, and The Leisure Hour were acute commentaries on the Victorian scene. His highly successful novel, Trilby (1894), is perhaps the second best selling novel of its time after Bram Stokers Dracula. The novel is set in the 1850s in an idyllic bohemian Paris. Trilby OFerrall, the novels heroine, is a halfIrish girl working in Paris as an artists model and laundress. One of the most memorable characters is Svengali, a Jewish rogue, masterful musician, and hypnotist who, by hypnotization, transforms Trilby into a great diva. Under his spell, Trilby becomes a talented singer, performing always in an amnesiac trance. At one performance, she is unable to sing in tune due to Svengali having a heart attack, and ends up the laughing stock of the show.

Runaways The Widescreen $9.83 Rated: RSynopsis: The film follows two friends, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. They fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten.

Blame It on the Dog $4.99 Love and the leader of the pack… After Selena Milano adopts sixty pounds of rambunctious puppy, her disorganized household starts to fly apart at the seams.

The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones: Sound Opinions on the Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Rivalry $18.59 Two of the world’s preeminent music journalists tackle the liveliest debate in rock history: which band is the greatest ever—the Beatles or the Rolling Stones? More than two dozen topics of debate are addressed, with cases being made both for the lads from Liverpool and rock’s proto bad boys. From the Cavern and Crawdaddy clubs through head-to-head comparisons of specific albums (e.g., Exile or “the White Album”?), members’ roles within the bands, the Svengali-like managers, influential producers, musical influences, and more, this is the book that dares confront the topics over which fans have agonized for years. Illustrated throughout with photography and memorabilia, the book also features a lenticular cover piece that alternates between the two bands.

Man With Two Faces $18.09 Rated: NRSynopsis: When his sister falls under the sadistic spell of her Svengali-like sadistic husband, acclaimed stage star Damon Wells (Edward G. Robinson) decides he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. What it takes is murder. And what it takes to get away with murder is a perfect disguise created out of greasepaint, false whiskers and a brilliant actor’s skill. Heading a top cast that includes Mary Astor, Ricardo Cortez and Louis Calhern, Robinson is marvelous wearing either of his two faces in this clever thriller based on a popular play by George S. Kaufman and Alexander Woollcott. A special treat: the surprising (and satisfying) ending, unorthodox for a movie made in the Production Code era.

Jennifer Payne is the insightful marriage and family therapist who has an answer for every relationship problem except the one happening in her very own bedroom. Billie Shelton is the casino showroom song-and-dance dazzler who has been saved, remade, and quietly shattered by a dangerously obsessive Svengali husband. And Cam Lawford is their stud-for-hire who sees a career-ending sports injury lead him from roaring crowds in NFL stadiums to willing and generous women in luxury hotel rooms. And, ultimately, straight to an early grave…

Hidden among prostitutes, drunks, and miners, a desperate and determined Marguerite carefully guards the secrets of her old life—until her past returns to offer a terrifying proposition.   Prima Donna captures both the glittering decadence of New York and the rough raunchy waterfront of Seattle, as Marguerite, caught between two worlds, must find the strength to confront the truth of her past and choose which voice defines her in this dark and harrowing novel. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Roddy Parr $25.99 A witty, seductive and moving novel of a famous writer and his protg Roddy Parr takes us into the luminous circle of a literary giant. It is a world of family intrigues, importunate fans — and dark secrets. Roddy Parr is an outsider, an ambitious young man who has just completed his PhD on the legendary David Anthem – a writer regularly tipped to win the next Nobel Prize for Literature. Through his friendship with Anthem’s publisher, the dazzling svengali Julia Collis, Roddy joins the Anthem household as David’s secretary. Julia’s not-so-secret agenda is for him to become David’s biographer. Soon Roddy is indispensable, and finds his new status as insider increasingly addictive. Yet Anthem’s world is steeped in tragedy and its truths are not simple ones. Literary insider Peter Rose has created an irresistible novel of ambition, passion and moral dilemmas. Praise for Peter Rose’s ROSE BOYS: ‘A deep family story of suffering, love and passionate devotion, richly and freshly told’ Helen Garner ‘a deeply felt, passionately uplifting story’ Liam Davison, WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN ‘Rose Boys is the wrenching, stunning account of a family living for about a quarter of a century in the sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening, but never absent, grip of a catastrophe’ Brian Matthews, THE AGE ‘Rose Boys is an intimate and moving – though never maudlin – story of familial love’ Daniel Williams, TIME

Eye Mind $22.95 The trailblazing 13th Floor Elevators released the first “psychedelic” rock album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s and beyond. The Elevators followed their own spiritual cosmic agenda, to change society by finding a new path to enlightenment. Their battles with repressive authorities in Texas and their escape to San Francisco’s embryonic counterculture are legendary.When the Elevators returned to Texas, the band became subject to investigation by Austin police. Lead singer Roky Erickson was forced into a real-life enactment of One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest and was put away in a maximum-security unit for the criminally insane for years. Tommy Hall, their Svengali lyricist, lived in a cave. Guitarist Stacy Sutherland was imprisoned. The drummer was involuntarily subjected to electric shock treatments, and the bassist was drafted into the Vietnam War.This fascinating biography breaks decades of silence of band members and addresses a huge cult following of Elevators fans in the United States and Europe. The group is revered as a formative influence on Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith, Primal Scream, R.E.M, and Z.Z. Top.

Stoned $12.39 ‘People say I made the Stones. I didn’t. They were there already. They only wanted exploiting. They were all bad boys when I found them. I just brought out the worst in them’Andrew Loog Oldham was nineteen years old when he discovered and became the manager and producer of an unknown band called The Rolling Stones. His radical vision transformed them from a starving south London blues combo to the Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band That Ever Drew Breath, while the revolutionary strategies he used to get them there provoked both adulation and revulsion throughout British society and beyond. An ultra-hip mod, flash, brash and schooled in style by Mary Quant, he was a hustler of genius, addicted to scandal, notoriety and innovation. Brian Epstein had hired him to break The Beatles, but it was his thrilling work with the Stones that turned him into a legend and introduced sex and hype to an austere, conservative industry. A ferociously brilliant, near-mythical svengali-figure to many, a manipulative upper-class thug to others, he quickly established himself as the most mercurial and anarchic impresario of the decade.Stoned is Andrew Loog Oldham’s astonishing story told in his own words, with contributions from Mary Quant, Pete Townshend, Vidal Sassoon, Nik Cohn, Lionel Bart and many other friends, colleagues and associates.

Peter Ibbetson (Dodo Press) $26.83 George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (1834 1896) was a Frenchborn British author and cartoonist. He studied art in Paris, and moved to Antwerp, Belgium, where he lost vision in his left eye. He became a member of the staff of the satirical magazine Punch in 1865, drawing two cartoons a week. Owing to his deteriorating eyesight, du Maurier reduced his involvement with Punch in 1891 and settled in Hampstead, where he wrote three novels (the last was published posthumously).

Talking to the Dead $10.99 A fascinating story of spirits and conjurors, skeptics and converts in the second half of nineteenth century America viewed through the lives of Kate and Maggie Fox, the sisters whose purported communication with the dead gave rise to the Spiritualism movement – and whose recanting forty years later is still shrouded in mystery. In March of 1848, Kate and Maggie Fox – sisters aged 11 and 14 – anxiously reported to a neighbor that they had been hearing strange, unidentified sounds in their house. From a sequence of knocks and rattles translated by the young girls as a “voice from beyond,” the Modern Spiritualism movement was born. Talking to the Dead follows the fascinating story of the two girls who were catapulted into an odd limelight after communicating with spirits that March night. Within a few years, tens of thousands of Americans were flocking to seances. An international movement followed. Yet thirty years after those first knocks, the sisters shocked the country by denying they had ever contacted spirits. Shortly after, the sisters once again changed their story and reaffirmed their belief in the spirit world. Weisberg traces not only the lives of the Fox sisters and their family (including their mysterious Svengali–like sister Leah) but also the social, religious, economic and political climates that provided the breeding ground for the movement. While this is a thorough, compelling overview of a potent time in US history, it is also an incredible ghost story. An entertaining read – a story of spirits and conjurors, skeptics and converts – Talking to the Dead is full of emotion and surprise. Yet it will also provoke questions that were being asked in the 19th century, and are still being asked today – how do we know what we know, and how secure are we in our knowledge?

The Martian by Du Maurier, George [Paperback] $25.69 The unique, delightful illustrator and author George du Maurier was the grandson of a French citizen, Robert Matherin Busson, who upon moving to England from France, adopted the surname du Maurier for its aristocratic sound. George du Maurier possessed English citizenship, but was bilingual in French and English, born in Paris in 1834. He is also known as the grandfather of novelist Daphne du Maurier, author of Rebecca and the short story that inspired Alfred Hitchcocks film The Birds. Du Mauriers second novel, Trilby, published in 1894, was a sensation introducing the vaguelysinister character Svengali, and inspiring the plots of numerous later works, including The Phantom of the Opera. Despite having lost the sight in one eye as a younger man, du Maurier enjoyed a lifelong career as a popular illustrator, most notably for Punch. His final novel, published posthumously in 1897, was The Martian. At first, The Martian takes the form of a biography of fictional novelist Barty Josselin, as told by his friend, politician Robert Maurice. In a parallel to du Mauriers own life, Barty Josselin is blind in one eye. Bartys life story reaches a low ebb when he attempts suicide, which introduces Martia, the Martian, into his and the readers consciousness. Martia has been reincarnated many times on Mars, and she informs Barty that she has selected him and a future wife that she has selected for him to be her earthbased parents. Barty does not wish to marry the aristocratic young woman that Martia has selected, instead choosing the worthy, but lessaristocratic Leah. Their family life comprises the rest of the story, and the meditations upon life after death and thefuture that du Maurier envisioned for both Martians and earthbound souls.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari $15.01 Rated: NRSynopsis: In one of the most influential films of the silent era, Werner Krauss plays the title character, a sinister hypnotist who travels the carnival circuit displaying a somnambulist named Cesare (Conrad Veidt). In one tiny German town, a series of murders coincides with Caligari’s visit. When the best friend of hero Francis (Friedrich Feher) is killed, the deed seems to be the outgrowth of a romantic rivalry over the hand of the lovely Jane (Lil Dagover). Francis suspects Caligari, but he is ignored by the police. Investigating on his own, Francis seemingly discovers that Caligari has been ordering the somnambulist to commit the murders, but the story eventually takes a more surprising direction. The film’s twisting plot takes its cue from its Expressionist style, which uses distorted perspectives to mirror the characters’ extreme emotional states. The village is a maze of painted sets, filled with unnatural shapes and angles, the actors’ movements are highly stylized, and everyone wears thick, grotesque makeup. Through the rest of the silent era, and on into such talkies as Frankenstein (1931), Svengali (1931), and Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), audiences were treated to such Caligariesque devices as spider-like shadows, bizarre makeup and lighting effects, and zombie-like characterizations. Caligari’s Expressionist style ultimately led to the dark shadows and sharp angles of the film noir urban crime dramas of the 1940s, many of which were directed by such German émigrés as Billy Wilder and Robert Siodmak.

Kay Thompson $5.82 Kay Thompson’s larger-than-life story is an effervescent toast to show business with a shot of Auntie Mame and a twist of The Devil Wears Prada. A multi-threat entertainer and a world-class eccentric, Kay Thompson was the mentor/best friend of Judy Garland, the vocal guru for Frank Sinatra and Lena Horne, and the godmother/Svengali of Liza Minnelli (who recreated Thompson’s nightclub act in her 2009 Tony Award–winning event, Liza’s at the Palace ). She went to school with Tennessee Williams, auditioned for Henry Ford, got her first big break from Bing Crosby, trained Marilyn Monroe, channeled Elvis Presley, rejected Andy Warhol, rebuffed Federico Fellini, got fired by Howard Hughes, and snubbed Donald Trump. She coached Bette Davis and Eleanor Roosevelt; she created nightclub acts for Marlene Dietrich and Ginger Rogers; and when Lucille Ball had to sing on Broadway, Kay was the wind beneath her wings, too. Kay’s legion of fans included Queen Elizabeth of England, King Juan Carlos of Spain, and Princess Grace (Kelly) of Monaco. Danny Kaye masqueraded in drag as her; Noël Coward and Cole Porter wrote musicals for her; and The Beatles wanted to hold her hand. She was a charter member of the Rat Pack, costarred in a whodunit with Ronald Reagan, and directed John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Gala. The dame cut a wide swath through the arts. After conquering radio in the 1930s she commandeered MGM’s vocal department in the 1940s, where she revolutionized the studio’s greatest musicals with her audacious arrangements, from The Harvey Girls to Ziegfeld Follies . In the 1950s she became the highest-paid cabaret attraction in the world with her groundbreaking act “Kay Thompson and the Williams Brothers,” featuring her young protégé—and secret lover—Andy Williams. In a stunning feat of reinvention, Thompson next became the bestselling author of Eloise (first published by Simon & Schuster in 1955), chronicling the mischievous adventures of the six-year-old mascot of The Plaza, spawning an industry that is still going strong today. Then Kay took the silver screen by storm as the “Think Pink!” fashion magazine editor in Funny Face , stealing the film right out from under Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. The Thompson saga swells from small town wannabe to international headliner, dissolving into self-destruction and madness—the storyline usually reserved for a rags-to-riches potboiler—yet with unexpected twists, outlandish turns, and a last-minute happy ending that, even by Hollywood’s standards, is nothing short of preposterous. But that is Kay Thompson. Fascinating. Frustrating. Fabulous!

The Sleeping Doll $9.99 When Special Agent Kathryn Dance — a brilliant interrogator and kinesics expert with the California Bureau of Investigation — is sent to question the convicted killer Daniel “Son of Manson” Pell as a suspect in a newly unearthed crime, she feels both trepidation and electrifying intrigue. Pell is serving a life sentence for the brutal murders of the wealthy Croyton family in Carmel years earlier — a crime mirroring those perpetrated by Charles Manson in the 1960s. But Pell and his cult members were sloppy: Not only were they apprehended, they even left behind a survivor — the youngest of the Croyton daughters, who, because she was in bed hidden by her toys that terrible night, was dubbed the Sleeping Doll. But the girl never spoke about that night, nor did the crime’s mastermind. Indeed, Pell has long been both reticent and unrepentant about the crime. And so with the murderer transported from the Capitola superprison to an interrogation room in the Monterey County Courthouse, Dance sees an opportunity to pry a confession from him for the recent murder — and to learn more about the depraved mind of this career criminal who considers himself a master of control, a dark Svengali, forcing people to do what they otherwise would never conceive of doing. In an electrifying psychological jousting match, Dance calls up all her skills as an interrogator and kinesics — body language — expert to get to the truth behind Daniel Pell. But when Dance’s plan goes terribly wrong and Pell escapes, leaving behind a trail of dead and injured, she finds herself in charge of her first-ever manhunt. But far from simply fleeing, Pell turns on his pursuers — and other innocents — for reasons Dance and her colleagues can’t discern. As the idyllic Monterey Peninsula is paralyzed by the elusive killer, Dance turns to the past to find the truth about what Daniel Pell is really up to. She tracks down the now teenage Sleeping Doll to learn what really happened that night, and she arranges a reunion of three women who were in his cult at the time of the killings. The lies of the past and the evasions of the present boil up under the relentless probing of Kathryn Dance, but will the truth about Daniel Pell emerge in time to stop him from killing again?

Captivated: J. M. Barrie, Daphne Du Maurier and the Dark Side of Neverland $8.91 <p><i>Captivated </i>is a true story of genius and possession. The background is the turn of the century, when a late-nineteenth-century world of mesmerists, psychics, trancers and table-turners gave way to a new twentieth-century age of psychology. The central character is the creator of Peter Pan, the famous novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie, a man tormented by inner demons since childhood.</p><p> </p><p> Barrie developed a consuming interest in the du Maurier family, beginning with George du Maurier, author of <i>Trilby</i>, a bestselling novel featuring his creation Svengali. In <i>Trilby</i>, George showed how it is possible, by means of hypnosis, for one person to gain control over the mind of another.</p><p> </p><p> Barrie made his move on the du Maurier family immediately after George died, assuming George’s mantel and using his ideas to dominate both his daughter Sylvia and his son Gerald. Soon Barrie was ‘Uncle Jim’ to Sylvia’s five sons and Gerald’s three daughters, playing romping games of adventure and make-believe, and inviting the children into the transcendental world of <i>Neverland. </i>Four of the boys (the ‘lost boys’ of Peter Pan) and one of the girls (the imaginative tomboy Daphne) were captivated.</p><p> </p><p> This fascinating book delves deep, makes links and yields up secrets. It is a story of bliss corrupted by greed which masquerades as supernatural power. It tells how Barrie’s victims – whom he would have not grow up – were lost to breakdown, suicide or an early death when they did. Daphne du Maurier, author of <i>Rebecca</i>, emerges as the lost boys’ surprise companion and the enigmatic chronicler of their fate. <i>Captivated </i>is about writing and the world of the imagination: it is a singular example of art being used not only to imitate life, but darkly to transform it.</p><p> </p><p> PIERS DUDGEON knew Daphne du Maurier and worked with her in the 1980s. When he discovered that she had put a moratorium on publication of her adolescent diaries until fifty years after her death, he was prompted to begin his researches into her background. What was the mystery that had Daphne been so keen to suppress?</p>
