    Featuring a sometimes disquieting selection of portraits, Sideshow Alley combines history, biography and the art of portraiture with true crime, scandal and sensation. National Portrait Gallery Curator Joanna Gilmour introduces the relationship between death and portraiture via a focus on the various ways in which artists, photographers and entrepreneurs made use of portraits of Australian convicts and criminals: the canny or unscrupulous publishers trading in salacious prints and penny dreadfuls; the otherwise respectable people who put cartes de visite of serial killers into their family albums; the photographic studios doing a brisk trade in portraits of heroes and villains; and the waxworks proprietors who, with their 'Chambers of Horrors', turned violence, misfortune and the macabre into a lucrative art form. Combined with beautifully illustrated prints, drawings and photographs from the collections of major Australian public libraries, archives and galleries as well as from those of the Old Melbourne Gaol, the Victoria Police Museum, and the Justice & Police Museum, Sydney, Sideshow Alley discusses death masks and wax anatomical models amidst a surprising variety of objects, and draws an intriguing portrait of Australian society and culture during the nineteenth century

    "The Life of Mr Richard Savage was the first important book by an unknown Grub Street hack, Samuel Johnson, who would later become the most celebrated British writer of the late 1700s. Richard Savage (1697-1743) was a poet, playwright, and satirist who claimed to be the illegitimate son of a late earl and to have been denied his inheritance and viciously persecuted by his mother. He was urbane, charming, a brilliant conversationalist, but also irresponsible and impulsive. His role in a tavern brawl almost led him to the gallows, though his life was saved by an eleventh-hour pardon by the King. Over time he attracted many supporters, practically all of whom he managed to alienate by the time of his death in a debtors' prison in Bristol. Johnson, who had been friends with Savage for a little over a year, drew on published documents and his own memories of Savage to produce one of the first great English biographies. The edition is supplemented by other writings by Johnson, a selection of Savage's prose and verse, contemporary and posthumous responses to Savage and to Johnson's biography, and selections by Johnson's first two major biographers, John Hawkins and James Boswell. A discussion of factual errors in Johnson's account help the reader place the Life and the supplementary texts in their historical and intellectual contexts."--

    "Sorprendido por la gravedad de las acusaciones en contra de su paciente Remo Ayala, el psicólogo Alberto Albores acepta formar parte del equipo que defenderá la inocencia del joven. Pero a medida que obtiene datos cada vez más perturbadores sobre Remo, el psicólogo debe concluir si éste le contó simples fantasías o confesó hechos atroces. ¿Trabajó como escapista con el mago que se hace llamar El Gran Padilla? ¿Mató al misterioso Farid Sabag, o el asesino fue su hermano gemelo, que trata de inculparlo? ¿Cómo murió la madre de los mellizos, y por qué un poderoso político se esfuerza en borrar sus huellas? ¿Qué papel juega la guerrilla mexicana en esta historia? ¿Quién es esa vidente, desaparecida en circunstancias siniestras, que parece conocer la verdad?"--Publisher's or seller's website "Surprised by the gravity of the charges against Remo Ayala's patient, psychologist Alberto Albores accepted part of the team that will defend the innocence of the youth. But as he got more and more disturbing information about Remo, the psychologist must decide whether what he narrated was mere fantasies or true atrocities. Did you work with the magician and escape artist who calls himself The Great Padilla? Did you kill the mysterious Farid Sabag, or was the murderer his twin brother, who tried to frame him? How did the mother of twins die, and why did a powerful politician strive to cover their tracks? What role does the Mexican guerrilla have in this story? Who is this seer, disappeared in sinister circumstances, which seems to know the truth?-- Cataloger's translation of publisher's or seller's website
