Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The music and noise manifestos of the Italian Futurists formed a blueprint for sonic warfare waged against traditionalism, a radical new agenda played out with machines primed for maximal acoustic destruction and aimed at the negation of all existing value systems. THE ART OF NOISE collects together these and other writings for the first time in English, showing how the origins of modern noise music actually date from a century ago, forming an invaluable insight into Futurist thought and its most enduring and relevant legacies, and revealing how an understanding of noise-art is key to a complete comprehension of Futurist painting. THE ART OF NOISE collects five key Futurist manifestos: Luigi Russolo's The Art Of Noises and The Futurist Noise Machines, and Balilla Pratella's Manifesto Of Futurist Musicians, Technical Manifesto Of Futurist Music, and Destruction Of Quadrature; plus Carlo Carra's related sensory manifesto The Painting Of Sounds, Noises And Smells; Bruno Corra's notes on Chromatic Music; Ferrucchio Busoni's visionary and influential Sketch For A New Aesthetic Of Sound Art; a historical introduction on Futurist music and its legacy; and a chronology of Futurist music and noise.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the boudoir of a sequestered country house, a young virgin is ruthlessly schooled in evil.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Restif de la Bretonne was perhaps the key author inspired by the publication of the Marquis de Sade's obscene' masterworks Juliette and Justine. In 1798 Restif wrote this pornographic epic, thus beginning a long tradition that continues to this day. The story is a pornographic novelization of Restif's sexual debauches, which he tried to defend 'morally' by declaring it an 'antidote' to the supposed poison of de Sade; yet while it opens with a warning to women against cruelty, it soon develops into an odyssey of sexual depravity which rivals de Sade in its relentlessy explicit nature.'

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bram Stoker's classic bestseller Dracula was first published in 1897. But in 1901 Stoker revised and edited the book for a new English edition. Stoker's aim was to tighten the novel, cutting out a lot of the slower-paced and dialogue-heavy scenes. Overall he reduced the work by 15% - a significant change. Since this is the last work he did on the book it stands as the final and definitive author's cut. For the first time in over 100 years this is that original author's cut. All other print editions of the story use the out-of-date text of the 1897 edition. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Men's adventure magazines were a form of pulp publishing which flourished in 1950s and 1960s America, pandering to the cruelty and lust of young men with luridly illustrated stories of war, sleaze and savagery. They arose partly in response to the inauguration of the Comics Code in 1954, as a way of circumventing censorship by presenting material in a new, 'adults-only' format. The prime years of the men's adventure magazine unleashed a visual and verbal deluge of exposed and tormented flesh, bloody mayhem and sexual delinquency, representing a unique cultural phenomenon in US publishing and art. Beasts Of The Blood-Stained Jackboot is a special edition that showcases one of the most vivid strands of illustrated pulp, dedicated to tales of Nazi marauders during World War 2. The 22 stories included here portray Nazis as evil torturers and killers, whose victims were almost invariably scantily-clad, large-breasted female captives. It should be noted that rescuers, and sometimes the victims themselves, nearly always prevail against the threat of these vile monsters of war, who are never glorified but always shown as despicable and sadistic criminals.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The ORGY PLUS MASSACRE series presents a visually-led sampler of sexy, scary and sensational cinema from the years 1950 to 1979, three of the most consequential decades in film history. It was during these years that global cinema came of age, not only in the technological sense but especially by way of pushing back pre-war restrictions of censorship, so much so that by the end of the 1960s, explicit sex and graphic violence had both become accepted in the mainstream. This new liberalism peaked in the mid-70s, when pretty much anything could be legally seen on commercially available film in one form in another, from picture houses to backstreet projection booths. ORGY PLUS MASSACRE will focus on these decades when film-makers were increasingly free to express their most expansive, excessive and extreme visions on celluloid. ORGY PLUS MASSACRE Volume 1 includes over 100 rare and unusual photographs, with accompanying informative texts, from the years 1950 to 1956. This period saw global cinema in full recovery from the recent world war, and the transition of pulp narratives towards a darker realm informed by fears born of the new atomic age and the horrors of the concentration camps. The book is divided into five sections: Horror, Science Fixtion, Mayhem (delinquency, crime, murder, atrocity), Myth (fantasies of other worlds and time periods), and last but not least, Sex (nudity, sexploitation, adult).

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bestriding the many visual deceits and narratives to be found in early cinema was the singular figure of Satan, the Devil incarnate. From Goethe's Faust to Dante's graphic renderings of the Inferno, classic art and literature were the well whence sprang the first cinematic depictions of the Devil, his deeds and his dwelling-place. These feverish imaginings led to more elaborate and complex films which vividly explored the terrors of the fallen angel's relentless war against humanity. From Georges Melies' diabolic trick-film Le Manoir Du Diable, shot in 1896, to such mysterious silent works as Witchcraft Through The Ages, Faust and Birth Of The Anti-Christ, and beyond to the burgeoning sound era, SATANIC SHADOWS documents all of the key filmic invocations of Satan, his victims and his worshippers unleashed in the first four decades of commercial cinema. SATANIC SHADOWS shows how narratives of sin, temptation and damnation were central to the roots of cinema's horror and phantasy genres, and how the Devil's dark, horned figure overshadowed all others in the race to astonish and terrify the spectator. With a wide array of more than 100 illuminating production photographs - many assembled from global film archives and seldom, if ever, previously published - this comprehensive illustrated filmography references over 250 films, and also includes a full index of titles.
