Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Discover the life and lines of Spartacus. . .  He is Spartacus. And a whole lot more. That rugged chin. Those broad shoulders. A swag epitomized in epic films such as Spartacus and The Bad and the Beautiful. Crowned one of greatest actors of all time, Kirk Douglas, whose son Michael continues to build on his Hollywood legacy, is more than legendary. He's a husband. A father. A philanthropist. A Renaissance man. At 97 years old, Kirk Douglas has embraced many roles. But poet?       Playing on his Yiddish roots, Life Could Be Verse--not worse--gives readers the best seat in the house to the intimate world of an acclaimed actor who has turned the silver screen gold. But his poems transcend pentameters--they are nostalgic celebrations of old Hollywood, of timeless lessons in life and love, reflecting an era when people had few coins in their pockets but an abundance of hope in the promise of the American dream. Through poems, prose, and photographs, Douglas candidly shares it all as he chaperones us through the stages of his life, including the untimely death of his youngest son and the stroke that left him unable to speak. Still, Douglas doesn't dwell in the sadness. Instead, he tantalizes us with his words, his perspective on life, and some never-before-seen photographs and stories of Marlene Dietrich, Lauren Bacall, Brigitte Bardot and his most cherished leading lady of all, his wife of sixty years, Anne Buydens.Life Could Be Verse is uncomplicated yet revealing, poignant yet playful. It's the life and the lines of Spartacus--an uplifting reminder that many times the story of our lives is the most entertaining script of all. The following is an original poem Kirk wrote about his famous son Michael Douglas: Fathers and Sons"Am I a good father?'" I asked my son He took a pause, too long for meI waited and waited for him to answer And finally he said, "Ultimately." But the pause was all I heard The silence was so loud I was waiting for some kind word Something that would make me proud. How could I be so dumb? And I never heard the answer in the pause, When he spoke not a word. I became a "good father," It took me too long to see, When I needed him More than he needed me. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'John Saffin, His Book' is an invaluable collection of 17th-century writings that offers a direct window into the intellectual and social fabric of colonial New England. Compiled by John Saffin-a prominent merchant, poet, and judge-this commonplace book captures a diverse array of 'Various Matters of Divinity and State Affairs,' blending original verse with reflective prose entries. The text serves as a significant primary source, illustrating the religious fervor and political complexities of the Puritan era. Saffin's writings traverse a wide range of topics, from deeply personal theological meditations to astute observations on the legal and administrative evolution of the American colonies. His poetry, often characterized by the metaphysical style of the period, provides a rare example of early American literary expression, while his prose entries detail the daily concerns and ethical dilemmas faced by a public figure of his standing. By preserving Saffin's unique voice, this work provides readers with essential insights into the cultural, literary, and historical foundations of early America. 'John Saffin, His Book' stands as a testament to the sophisticated inner life of the colonial mind, making it a crucial resource for anyone interested in the history of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and the broader development of the early United States.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible.
