"An uneasy cross between a movie and a theater production, this version of Gilbert and Sullivan's masterpiece The Mikado is on the clumsy side. Obviously taped on a stage (there are just two settings, a town square and a landscape) but without an audience, it lacks the spark of live performance and the versatility of film. The action is weighed down by jejune attempts at comedy. When Nanki-Poo (disguised as a musician) receives the devas ..."
"In the Japanese town of Titipu, a wandering minstrel, Nanki-Poo, is searching for Yum-Yum, one of the "Three little maids from school" with whom he has fallen in love. But Yum-Yum is betrothed to Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner. Ko-Ko is under pressure from the absent Mikado to perform an execution and persuades the suicidal Nanki-Poo to be his victim. The fact that Nanki-Poo is in fact the heir to the throne of Japan creates an awkwar ..."
"A collection of the greatest hits of composer Arthur Sullivan and librettist W.S. Gilbert, whose comic operas have been delighting audiences around the world for more than a century. From the popular BBC series featuring music by the London Symphonic Orchestra and a host of international stars. Includes THE MIKADO, H.M.S. PINAFORE, THE GONDOLIERS, PATIENCE, and THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE."
"The Pirates of Penzance would seem to be one of the most indestructible of theatrical works, with its seamless parody and melodic brilliance. No material is surefire, however. In this lackluster version, the pleasures are sporadic at best. The production, originally shown on the BBC, is a nondaring affair that avoids any modern sensibility or satiric edge. Mabel's song "Poor Wand'ring One," a swipe at the trilling idiocies of opera, her ..."

"didn't know about the deadly craft of bomb detection and disposal. He was the go-to guy for clearing an area of explosives. So when he left the military, there was really no choice: his expertise was rare, sought after, and potentially very lucrative. He'd long ago learnt to put the danger to one side; now he loved the adrenaline rush-the exhilaration-of the job, staying cool in the face of death, outsmarting the murderous and wily bomb ..."
"Dieses Buch stammt aus dem Jahre 1967. Fasziniert spuren wir beim Lesen die unbekummerte Frische, die Aufbruchsstimmung und die Hoffnung jener Zeit. Der Aufruf der beiden Autoren, des Gesprachstherapeuten Carl R. Rogers und der Gestalttherapeutin Barry Stevens, zu einem freien, selbstbestimmten und glucklichen Leben, hat an Aktualitat bis heute nichts verloren. Schon die unvergleichliche Gestalt dieses Buches ist ein wirklich beachtlich ..."

"Los primeros humanistas fueron los indígenas, con sus particulares modos de relacionarse en forma armónica con su entorno natural y también con sus emociones y creencias, respetuosas del ser humano y sus procesos. No es casual que la autora, terapeuta innata, autodidacta y perteneciente a la estirpe de las mujeres que dejan huella, se sintiera tan a gusto viviendo entre los navajos, los hopis y otras tribus estadounidenses, entre los cu ..."
