Book Description
Memories of Underdevelopment was the first great international success of Cuban cinema. The film provides a complex portrait of Sergio, a disaffected bourgeois intellectual who remains in Havana after the Revolution, suspended between two worlds. He can no longer accept the values of his family's reactionary past and yet boredom and the conditioning of his early life prevent him from committing himself to the new revolutionary society. Sergio's story is played out in the turbulent period of the Bay of Pigs invasion and the 1962 missile crisis, events he can only watch on his television screen or from his apartment balcony. The film, initially banned by the U.S. government as part of its trade quarantine of Cuba, was shown here five years after its original release. But American critics responded enthusiastically to it and the National Society of Film Critics bestowed an award on its director. This double volume includes the complete continuity script of Memories, as well as the complete novel, Inconsolable Memories, upon which the film is based. An interview with Alea is reproduced here, as well as documentation of the political controversy that surrounded the film in this country. Michael Chanan's introduction places the film in the context of Cuban political and cultural history. The volume also includes a biographical sketch of Alea, a chronology of the Cuban Revolution, reviews, commentary, a filmography, and a bibliography. Michael Chanan lives in England, where he teaches and writes on film. He is the author of The Cuban Image: Cinema and Cultural Politics in Cuba.
Customer Reviews:
Good Book for cinema's students.......2007-08-15
For the ones who are interested in learning more about Latin American Cinema and specifically about Tomás Gutierréz Alea. The book offers many information about the director and the context where the film Memorias del Subdesarrollo was produced with many specialized author's commentaries and interviews with the director. Add to that, it offers a translation of the script materials authorized by Alea that enriches the reading of this book and the comprehension of the film.

Book Description
On the heels of Dhampir, Barb and J. C. Hendee's acclaimed fantasy debut, comes a new novel featuring Magiere and Leesil, slayers of the undead...
Magiere the dhampir and Leesil, her half-elf partner, are called out of their self-imposed retirement when vampires besiege the town of Bela-and are discovered to be in a league with the town's most prominent elders...
Customer Reviews:
A step up.......2007-05-27
Thief of Lives is the follow up to Barb and JC Hendee's Dhampir, which centers on the beautiful Vampire Hunter Magiere, her Half Elf companion Leesil, and their extraordinary dog, Champ.
This story picks up about two months after that last book ended, which Magiere and Leesil reopening their inn after the fire that consumed it in the climax of the last book. The town is in dire straits due to the destruction of their main warehouse, and commerce is dwindling, which is slowing strangling their economy. An opportunity to make some money for the town has presented itself at the city of Bela, across the sea. Magiere is reluctantly forced out of retirement, as Bela's frustrated city council searches her out for her help. Some of Bela's most notable and wealthy are being savagely murdered and all signs point to one of the "noble dead" being the culprit.
This novel is pleasant surprise in that it is an upgrade over Dhampir in nearly every area. The characters are far more developed. Leesil and Magiere are more actualized than the first and especially Leesil is more explored in this novel than the last. Even the dog Champ, is more cultivated! I found the tension that was present between Leesil and Magiere far more believable and understandable in this novel as well. Also, with the development of the character's persona comes a refinement of their mythos.
Some of this elaboration is undoubtedly due to the authors' holding back on the first novel in order to continue the mystery. However, there is real narrative maturation here in both writing skill and story.
The Hendee's have take the Vampire mythology and put their own brand on it, and have even carved their own niche from the Buffy the vampire slayer/Bloodrayne/underworld "girl power" genre. Magiere is unenthusiastic about her role, even downright unwilling, but she has demons to kill within herself and she is trying to exorcises. Not only that, but she isn't quite she WHAT she is. That mystery as well as secrets from Leesil and Champs past are a big part of this installment.
Thus, Thief of Lives does not fall into the "filler" category that so many second novels do, or the let down after the first. The Hendees have established a strong foundation upon which to build upon and they took a step in the right direction with this novel. Thief of Lives is an enjoyable read. It may not be Tolkien, but that is part of what makes it compelling. What it does, it does well.
Perfect title.......2007-05-19
This book is great. The title fits it so perfectly! I reccomend this to anyone who likes your typical fantasy novels, for not only does it deal with vampires, but all sorts of fantasy stuff.
A very good sequel.......2007-03-16
This second installment of the series started with Damphir is every bit as good if not better than the first. The trio of half-elf, half vampire and Spirit possessed dog continue to grow as characters as they are forced by circumstances to live up to the role of vampire hunting team that they first created simply as a way to swindle gullible peasants. Good Fantasy with a strong and increasing stable plot line.
Even better than DHAMPIR.......2006-12-30
SPOILERS aplenty.
THIEF OF LIVES is the second book in the captivating Noble Dead series and continues the exploits of our vampire hunting trio. For the uninitiated, we have Magiere the reluctant half-human, half-vampire dhampir; Leesil, the half-elven, half-human thief with a lethal past; and Chap, their enigmatic hound who's smarter than the average hound. DHAMPIR, the first book, detailed their less-than-honorable career of bilking naive villagers of their meager wealth as Magiere passed herself off as a vampire hunter and Leesil pretended to be the vampire whom Magiere slays. But, as it turns out, Magiere discovers that she is, in reality, an actual dhampir, a real vampire killer. Her newly found abilities are put to the test as she, Leesil, and Chap face off against bonafide bloodsuckers for the first time. The end of DHAMPIR finds our heroes barely surviving the experience.
Now, cut to THIEF OF LIVES. It's been months since the harrowing events of DHAMPIR and things seemed to have settled down for Magiere, her partner Leesil and their adopted town of Miiska. Their tavern, the Sea Lion, has been rebuilt, thanks to the largesse and manual labor of the townspeople. Magiere looks forward to settling down to a peaceful existence of barkeeping and managing her tavern, thinking that she has successfully retired from her recent forays into vampire slayings. But Leesil, the more forward-thinking of the two, knows better and he, accordingly, has been making preparations.
Thanks to certain actions by Leesil, the town of Miiska is suffering financially. When the savage murder of a prominent councilman's daughter in the far away city of Bela prompts a request for the dhampir's assistance, promising ample monetary compensation, Leesil and Magiere are guiltily compelled to take up the offer, thinking to help the Miiskan citizens. But the city of Bela is much, much bigger and more cosmopolitan than tiny, bucolic Miiska; Leesil and Magiere find themselves at a loss as to where to start hunting their prey. They do receive help from a plucky 10 year old boy, an apprentice scholar/sage, and a street-smart police captain, but that's not nearly enough to tip the scales in their balance as their supernatural foes are powerful and relentless, one of them being particularly bent on personal vengeance against Leesil. Throw into the mix the return of the mysterious Welstiel, who apparently had been working behind the scenes from the get-go to awaken and hone Magiere's powers, and the appearance of an elf assassin, and things couldn't get more troublesome for our beleaguered hunters of the undead.
One of the many appeals of this series is the equality of the two leads. The first novel DHAMPIR intimates that Magiere, being the titular character, is the main protagonist, while Leesil is the romantic foil or the wisecracking sidekick. Well, no. Both are equally fleshed out as thinking and breathing people; both are equally deserving of being the lead; in fact, they each demand the reader's attention and willfully assert themselves in their respective narratives. Leesil is intriguing as a very personable and capable warrior in combat, who's stricken with gambling and drinking flaws. And Magiere, while remaining stubborn and stoic, isn't as cardboard as she was in DHAMPIR. But her unveiling of more personality and vulnerability doesn't make her any less of a fighting machine. She still kicks booty. Magiere reminds me quite a bit of another wonderful female heroine, Del, from Jennifer Roberson's awesome Tiger and Del series.
And, if you're a romantic hopeful, it's the thorny relationship between Magiere and Leesil which will suck you in. On a personal level, as the book opens, things just aren't right between Magiere and Leesil, the cause stemming from Magiere's mistrust of her own vampiric nature and her fear of hurting Leesil. Leesil, for his part, can't understand why Magiere has been so distant with him. Part of the series's allure, also, is that the reader is teased with tidbits about both Magiere and Leesil's mysterious pasts. And it seems the Hendees are planning on divulging the duo's parental goods in the ensuing books.
With this entry, the Hendees look to open up their world past the limited conventions of vampires and vampire slaying as the authors lay down additional subplots concerning a possible quest for a potent artifact and even more reveal about the stringently structured and unforgiving elven society, who consider Leesil to be a traitor to the blood. Questions lurking about Chap are also addressed, much to Leesil's distress.
This time, the villains prove to be not as sympathetic as DHAMPIR's elegant Rashed and his gentle lady love Teesha, although the scheming Chane does show some promise. In fact, the villainess here is fairly annoying. However, the Hendees ensure that their encounters with the vampire hunters are vividly depicted, though probably not as entertaining as Chap's battle with the sausage. And the character who seems to be slated as the series's main baddie is proving to be a very imposing presence.
THIEF OF LIVES is even better than DHAMPIR, in my opinion. Leesil remains as personable, while becoming more assertive and coming more into his own. Magiere is written with more nuance and is more likable and relatable here. Also she gains another unwanted skill with which to combat the undead. And Chap is just a treat. The fantasy storyline is pretty straightforward, though the authors do attempt to throw in several curves. The clashes are as brutal and uncompromising as ever. And the book ends with a new journey, a new goal, and a resolution to and a defining of Leesil and Magiere's relationship. THIEF OF LIVES is highly recommended. Now I'm off to check out the third book SISTER OF THE DEAD.
Nice follow-up for the first novel.......2006-08-15
This is a three and a half star work, and I didn't want to give it four.
Focusing on more on Leesil, this second book in the Noble Dead series continues the adventures from 'Dhampir'. Leesil and Magiere explore their relationship against a backdrop of slaying vampires in a larger town, and we learn more of their world.
The action scenes are done well, and the characterization goes deep. My complaints regarding this work revolve more around what I know is coming next, rather than this book. This was a good sequel for the first novel, but the characterization established here will not carry over well into the rest of the series. The omniscient viewpoint (also a spoiler in later novels) detracted from the story; villains gave too much away and ruined rather than heightened suspense. A repetition of plot elements and structures is noticeable (later in the series this becomes a large problem).
My recommendation is to stop the series here, but enjoy the first two books. The relationships and even intelligence of the characters are not done well in books three and (especially) four.

Look out Harriet the Spy! Here comes Sammy Keyes, a resourceful, brave, too-curious-for-her-own-good young sleuth who gets into trouble with her grandmother's binoculars. Sammy was just killing time when she looked across the avenue with the binoculars. She certainly didn't imagine that she would see a thief in the act of stealing something from one of the rooms at the Heavenly Hotel. The worst part is that the thief saw Sammy spying! And what did "smart" Sammy do then? She waved at the thief! Now Sammy is in loads of trouble. Can she solve the mystery of the hotel thief before the thief finds her and before the police discover that she has been living illegally with her grandmother? (Oh, don't ask--it's just another stressful situation in this young detective's life.) Teens of all ages, shapes, and persuasions (especially reluctant readers) will adore Sammy and her crazy adventures. She is much more than a brilliant detective: Sammy Keyes, who is curious in all the right ways, is the sort of person you'd love to have as a friend.
Book Description
Sammy Keyes is perusing the neighborhood through binoculars when she spots something fishy at the Heavenly Hotel. She's sure she's just seen a robbery, now she just has to prove it. Now in Knopf Paperback, is the first book in the exciting new series of middle-grade mysteries starring the smart and spunky seventh-grade ace detective. "This girl sleuth is no well-mannered Nancy Drew. She's hot-tempered, nosy and not always obedient. In short, she's someone I want to read about again. A winning debut!" (Margaret Maron, author of The Bootlegger's Daughter and One Coffee With).
Download Description
With this debut book of a new mystery series, Wendelin Van Draanen establishes Samantha Keyes as a crime fighter to watch. Though, actually, the book opens with Sammy watching... a crime in progress. And when the man with the wad of cash in one hand and the open purse in the other catches Sammy watching him, the chase is on -- but is Sammy on the trail of the thief, or is he on hers?
If the police don't believe Sammy's story about a thief with black gloves, black glasses, and a black beard, she isn't too surprised. Vice principal Caan didn't exactly believe her either when she explained that she couldn't possibly have broken Heather's nose. Well, Sammy's not putting up with this. Does she look like a liar? She knows what she saw and how hard she can hit. And somehow she's going to prove it.

Good Characters and Ideas, Bad Villain.......2007-06-08
This is a book in a series about Sammy Keyes, a middle school girl who solves mysteries. In this story, she witnesses a robbery taking place at the nearby hotel while looking through binoculars. Unfortunately, she not only sees the thief, but he also sees her looking at him.
Sammy eventually goes to the police with her description of the man, whom she is sure she has seen before but can't quite place. One of the police officers, though, doesn't take her seriously and may even think she is involved in some of the mischief. Adding to her troubles with the law and her fear that the thief will come looking for her is Sammy's trouble at school, where on the first day she had a confrontation with a snobby girl. The confrontation ended with Sammy punching the girl in the nose and getting suspended for a day. It seems everything is a mess in Sammy's life!
I liked that Sammy's life wasn't perfect; she had real troubles living with her grandmother and trying to hide the fact that she was there. I liked the loyalty between Sammy and her friend Marissa. They made a good team.
It seemed out of the blue who the thief turned out to be. I got the impression that Sammy knew the person well and wouldn't have so much trouble with an identification. Also, everyone in authority seemed really unfair to Sammy. They treated her with no respect at all, which I thought was unrealistic. Someone would have taken her side.
Sammy Keys and the Hotel Theif.......2007-04-06
If you like mysteries you will love this book. I loved it because Sam did a lot of cool things. She loves looking through binoculars.
Also she out smarted a suppose to be ninth grader on her second day of middle school. The girl she out smarted had five studs in each ear with a ring of hoops at the top of them. Her name is Heather. I loved the part where Sam and Heather got in a fight but Sam got suspended. Everyone said Sam broke Heather's nose, so Heather started a heal Heather fund. While Sam was out of school for the day, she looked out the window and saw a man in black pawing through a purse!
What will she do about Heather and the thief know but, you must find out.
Mysterious Sammy..........2006-12-11
I really enjoyed reading this book. There was a lot of great descriptions of the characters. I just had to keep reading the book to see if Sammy found out who the hotel thief was. I was on my toes the whole time. From the time when Sammy saw somebody stealing things from a hotel room, until the time when Sammy found out who the mysterious thief was, I loved the book. Basicly, I think that anyone who wants a good kid mystery to read, they should read Sammy Keyes books by Wendelin Van Draanen.
