Description:
At once a queer love story and a noirish thriller, set in the dream factory of cinema, The Silver Book is a fictional account of real things, and an investigation into the difficult relationship between artifice and truth, illusion and reality, love and power.



'It is dangerous to want someone this much. He has always known it, from the very first night.'




It is September 1974. Two men meet by chance in Venice. One is a young English artist, in panicked flight from London. The other is Danilo Donati, the magician of Italian cinema, the designer responsible for realising the spectacular visions of Fellini and Pasolini. Donati is in Venice to produce sketches for Fellini's Casanova. A young - and beautiful - apprentice is just what he needs.




He sweeps Nicholas to Rome, into the looking-glass world of Cinecitt , the studio where Casanova's Venice will be ingeniously assembled. Then in the spring, the lovers move together to the set of Sal , Pasolini's horrifying fable of fascism.




But Nicholas has a secret and in this world of constant illusion, his real nature passes unseen. Amidst the rising tensions of Italy's 'Years of Lead', he acts as an accelerant, setting in motion a tragedy he didn't intend.



The Silver Book is at once a queer love story and a noirish thriller, set in the dream factory of cinema. It's a fictional account of real things, and an investigation into the difficult relationship between artifice and truth, illusion and reality, love and power.

Comprehensive and Engaging New Testament Resource
Format: Hardcover
From Pentecost to Patmos, 2nd Edition by Craig Blomberg is an outstanding introduction to the New Testament books from Acts through Revelation. The author combines scholarly depth with clarity, making it an excellent resource for both students and lay readers looking to deepen their understanding of Scripture. Blomberg’s analysis is thorough, offering historical context, theological insights, and practical applications. The updated content in this second edition keeps it relevant, and the engaging writing style makes complex topics approachable. I especially appreciated how each book is tied to its overarching theme in the New Testament narrative. This book is perfect for college courses or personal study, offering a well-rounded exploration of these essential biblical texts. A must-read for anyone serious about understanding the New Testament!

Required for class but an interesting book
Format: Hardcover
Studying the Gospels in class, we specifically used this textbook for the study of the Gospels written by Paul and John. Very informative and not a difficult read.
