For the last 150 years, Berlin has been a city of myth, dreams and possibility. For Erich, it has been home for over two decades. Yet even after two failed marriages and a stuttering career as a artist, he has little to show for it: a pair of dysfunctional children, an agoraphobic girlfriend who believes she is Marlene Dietrich and a worthy but unprofitable café gallery. With the arrival of his younger brother Max, recovering from a suicide attempt, everything changes. Max has always been the golden one for whom success came easily and yet who never cared. Erich's problem is that he always cared too much.The brothers are at a crossroads, both emotionally and geographically. It is only together that they can claw their way back to life, perhaps through the life and times of Europe's most gilded city . . .
Marlene and Me: I Discovered Spiritual Healing Through Resolving Past Life Traumas
Eugenia Afanador

Ever since Eugenia Afanador was four years old, she was haunted by disturbing memories of having lived other lives in other lands and centuries. It was only after many decades of experience and study in this lifetime that she gradually learned how to process both the pain and the wisdom of those memories.Through personal memoir, scholarship, poetic verse, and mystical insight, Marlene and Me teaches us that our ancestors are not only present in our history, epics, art, dreams, and aspirations, but also in the mysteries of our sub-conscious minds.Woven throughout Eugenia's own modern-day experiences in North and South America, her memories of other lives zig zag across time and place including Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in the 1940s, the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s, the streets of Bangladesh in the 14th century, and medieval England in the 13th century. Throughout every traumatic and joyful experience, Eugenia is accompanied by celestial guardians, or Masters, who guide her, comfort her, and help her to transmute experience into insight. These insights include fifteen qualities that can help us overcome personal trauma and grow emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.Written for seekers, mystics, empaths and intuitives, and anyone seeking to heal past traumas, this deeply candid and vulnerable work reveals the human capacity for resilience, self-discovery, and healing across multiple lives, cultures, languages and faiths.
From the wonderfully varied and witty mind of Marlene Dietrich comes an alphabetised collection of her most zany, honest, and heartfelt thoughts. Offering her take on a range of ideas, people, and items, Marlene Dietrich's ABC is an unprecedented glimpse into one of history’s brightest and most enigmatic stars. Nothing is too small or grand for Dietrich’s unique eye. From her entry for hardware store – "I'd rather go to a hardware store than to the opera" – to her entry for egocentric – "If he is a creative artist, forgive him" – she transforms both the mundane and the mysterious into snapshots of her own spirit. Complete with photos from her vast career, Marlene Dietrich’s ABC is an unexpected and addicting treat. In this edition Marlene offers her unique blend of wit, a sometimes mordant humour, sensitivity and acute observations of the world as she has known it and, to some extent, been shaped it. By blending the absolutely practical with her whimsical, witty, poetic and sometimes moving observations, Dietrich creates in yet another field that special magic with which she has held the world enthralled for decades.
Marlene Dietrich never threw away anything. She kept her good-luck rag doll (it appeared with her in The Blue Angel and followed her to dressing tables on every movie set). She kept the letters she received from her lovers and her husband of fifty-three years. She kept every article of clothing made for her by the great French couturiers and the legendary Hollywood costume designers. She kept everything. After Dietrich's death, all of the articles were collected – 25,000 objects and 18,000 images. Here, her treasures are brought together in 289 photographs from her own collection, with extended captions by her daughter, Maria Riva. We see Dietrich across the years and roles of her life: a child, a young actress in Berlin, a newlywed, a devoted American, a mother, and of course, a glamorous Hollywood legend. An intimate look into the life of an unforgettable star, Marlene Dietrich: Photographs and Memories gifts fans with insights from Marlene herself.
Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth & My Mother
Rita Maria Magdaleno
University of Arizona Press

Her blood is both Aryan and Aztec and runs as deep as the waters between two worlds. Rita Magdaleno was born near Dachau shortly after World War II to a German mother and a Mexican American GI. Her family moved to Arizona in 1947, and Rita was raised with her father's traditions but she remains at heart a child of two cultures. This poetic memoir, recalling Magdaleno's return to the land of her birth, is an intertwining of personal and public history, bridging continents and cultures in search of family secrets. Her poems recall a mother ""Marlene Dietrich pretty, / her smoky voice / & those wide Aryan / eyes that promised / never to lie,"" a war bride who named her child after a Hollywood movie star even before casting eyes on America. They also offer a new, intimate view of the war and of today's reunified Germany and show that the consequences of events played out half a century ago continue to resonate with the children of that era. Magdaleno navigates currents of emotion that would drown less capable poets. With patience, courage, and abiding love, she draws on memories of mother and motherland to show us that healing can come in many forms.
From the stages of Berlin to anti-Nazi efforts and silver-screen stardom, Steven Bach reveals the fascinating woman behind the myth surrounding Marlene Dietrich in a biography that will stand as the ultimate authority on a singular star. Based on six years of research and hundreds of interviews-including conversations with Dietrich-this is the life story of one of the century’s greatest movie actresses and performers, an icon who embodied glamour and sophistication for audiences around the globe.

"... I was able to make a simple gesture which left no permanent mark on the land."In 1979 Marlene Creates signaled her intent. In contrast to the monumental earthworks of that time, she revealed that her interest in the intersection of art and the natural world was with the ephemeral, the small scale, and the non-monumental, and with place, "not as a geographical location," she writes, "but as a process that involves memory, multiple narratives, ecology, language, and both scientific and vernacular knowledge." Supplementing the impermanence of her artistic gestures with the technology of photography, Creates found an audience and created a body of work without peer.Creates has sensitvely probed the relationship between human experience and the natural world for almost four decades. From her early works that record traces of the human body on the land to her later explorations of poetry in situ in the boreal forest and photography as an active medium — where the rush of water over the lens transforms the artist's own image — Creates leads us with an environmental and cultural consciousness to a greater understanding of the language of the natural world and our "places" in it.It is no easy task to sum up, in a single book, a career that privileges the act over the artifact, the moment over the monument. But under the direction of curator-critics Susan Gibson Garvey and Andrea Kunard, Marlene Creates: Places, Paths, and Pauses offers not only a broad view of her work in photography but also a critical appreciation of her multi-disciplinary approach (assemblages, memory-map drawings, and video-poems) through essays by Gibson Garvey and Kunard, art historian Joan M. Schwartz, nature writer Robert Macfarlane, and poet Don McKay.Marlene Creates: Places, Paths, and Pauses accompanies a major retrospective touring exhibition organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in partnership with the Dalhousie Art Gallery. It will open in Fredericton in September 2017 and thereafter will be shown at galleries in Halifax, Charlottetown, St. John's, and other venues in central and western Canada.

« ... j’ai pu intervenir simplement, sans laisser de traces durables sur le terrain. »Jeune encore, l’artiste Marlene Creates signalait déjà en 1979 son intention de se démarquer des installations de terrassement monumentales de l’époque pour s’intéresser, au confluent de l’art et du monde naturel, à l’éphémère, à la petite échelle, au non monumental et au lieu, « pas tant comme endroit géographique, » écrit-elle, « que comme processus qui inclut la mémoire, une multiplicité de récits, l’écologie, le langage et le savoir, tant vernaculaire que scientifique. » En palliant le caractère éphémère de ses interventions grâce aux techniques photographiques, elle a su trouver son public et créer une œuvre hautement originale.Depuis près de quatre décennies, Creates s’attarde avec sensibilité aux rapports entre l’expérience humaine et le monde naturel. Dès ses premières œuvres, préservant les empreintes du corps humain sur le sol, et jusqu’à ses plus récentes explorations de poésie in situ dans la forêt boréale et de photographie comme médium actif, où elle laisse le ruissellement de l’eau sur l’objectif brouiller son autoportrait, Creates exerce sa grande vigilance écologique et culturelle pour nous amener à mieux comprendre le langage du monde naturel et les « lieux » que nous y occupons.Il est difficile de rendre compte en un seul volume d’une carrière qui a préféré l’acte à l’artefact, le moment au monument. Or, sous la direction des commissaires-critiques Susan Gibson Garvey et Andrea Kunard, Lieux, sentiers et pauses propose au lecteur, en plus d’une large gamme des œuvres photographiques de Marlene Creates, un examen critique de sa démarche multidisciplinaire (assemblages, croquis de cartes-mémoire et poèmes sur vidéo) grâce aux essais de Gibson Garvey, de Kunard, de l’historienne de l’art Joan M. Schwartz, de l’écrivain écologiste Robert Macfarlane et du poète Don McKay.Marlene Creates : Lieux, sentiers et pauses accompagne l’importante rétrospective itinérante organisée par la galerie d'art Beaverbrook, en partenariat avec la Dalhousie Art Gallery. Après son vernissage à Fredericton en septembre 2017, l’exposition visitera Halifax, Charlottetown, St. John’s et d’autres villes du centre et de l’ouest du Canada.

This is a book with no relation to anything written on it. It is meant to be a humorous book, but it turns out it isn't one. Depending on your age, depending how much of the world you get, you will see if this book suits you. Doesn't matter if you don't want to read it... I will read it to myself every night and laugh and laugh and laugh. The chapters aren't even 'proper' chapters. The characters aren't even 'proper' characters. The plot--there is no plot. The book isn't even a 'proper' book. This 'book' was written because the author wanted humour in her life. And she also needed some time to practice her writing. This was also written as the author wanted a break-mixed-writing time, so that is another reason why she wrote this short story. Here is a small blurb: When the night falls, the ground falls. It is the year 4567 and everyone is happy about their job, apart from one ambiguous girl called Marlene. When she is told that she must attend the midnight dance ball, hosted by the leader of All, she must make a choice. The party is at night-when the ground falls.

Der "Blaue Engel" war der - scheinbar unerkl rbare - Beginn einer m rchenhaften Karriere: der von Marlene Dietrich. Angeregt durch seine Arbeit ber Karl Vollmoeller verifiziert Frederik D. Tunnat die Frage der "Entdeckung" Marlene Dietrichs. Vollmoeller war IHR "Entdecker", ihr F rderer der letzten 6 Jahre vor dem "Blauen Engel". Er f rderte Josef von Sternberg, den Regisseur ebenso, wie Emil Jannings, den Hauptdarsteller; er schrieb und editierte das Drehbuch.Diese Biografie sp rt den einzelnen Stationen von Marlenes Karriere der Zwanziger Jahre nach; f rdert dabei eine Reihe hochinteressanter Daten, brisanter Fakten, Unver ffentlichtes, wie bisher unbekannte Hintergrundinformationen zu Tage. Das Buch sp rt auch der Bedeutung der sexuellen Aspekte beim Zustandekommen des "Blauen Engels" nach. "Marlene verkehrte in Lokalen, in denen sich sapphische Damen trafen und man M nner nicht allzugern sah" "M nner und Frauen liebten sie, und sie liebte M nner und Frauen" "She preferred fellatio, it put into her hand the power to direct the scene." Diese Biografie ist ein Muss f r Marlene Dietrich und Blauer Engel Fans. Eine anregende Lekt re, die das bisherige Bild ber Marlene Dietrich, die Aspekte ihres Durchbruchs mit "Der Blaue Engel" modifiziert, pr zisiert sowie erweitert.Zugleich das Portrait der mehrj hrigen Beziehung zwischen F rderer und Gef rderter - Entdecker und Entdeckter.
