Book Description
Salvatore Ferragamo tells his story in a captivating book that looks back at the adventure of his life, from his origins as a young cobbler in the village of Bonito in the province of Avellino to the stars of Hollywood. "The least important part of this book is the life-story of an Italian shoemaker. We can all write the stories of our lives, and if I go into the details of my career it is only that I may be best able to tell you about the mission to which I was called, the work I could not prevent myself from doing. In my life, I have found that Nature provides us with good feet. If your feet are bad, it is because your shoes are bad. Yet it is not necessary—not even for the sake of vanity— so to torture yourselves. We can all walk happily and be well shod, daintily shod, beautifully shod. That has been my life's work: striving to learn to make shoes that always fit and refusing to put my name to any that do not fit." (Salvatore Ferragamo).

Book Description
The Shoemaker's Dream was the "American Dream" shared by millions of people speaking countless languages in countries around the world, and it brought to our shores the people who fashioned this vast and powerful nation. This iconic metaphor has served for generations to express the dreamers' hopes of achieving a better future for themselves and their families. This is a tale that resonates strongly today, when news media daily produce articles, editorials and letters to the editor about our current political embattlement over immigration. Like so many today, the shoemaker's relation whose adventures are told in these pages landed in America in 1910 speaking no English, with minimal financial resources, but endowed with boundless ambition, hope, energy, and desire. While building new lives, they built our country. Here, in this novelized version of Bill Nemoyten's family history, we go beyond numbers about immigration and assimilation to relive life on the other side of the ocean. Unlike many tales of immigrants to the United States-or, more poetically named, America-which begin with their arrival on the shores of the "New World," Nemoyten takes us back to their origins. We learn about the life they left behind: the terror of pogroms led by tsarist soldiers or gentile neighbors, signaled by shouts and crying in the streets; the dreaded knock on the door when sons reached the age of conscription into army service for perhaps twenty years, from which all-too-many never returned; but also the pleasures of market days when these gatherings provided the main venue for buying, selling, and exchanging news of local events. All this provides the context for Bill's narrative, one family's history that illuminates migration history writ small. He follows the ambitious adventures of Izzy Singer, formerly Israel Zynger, as he departs from Losice, Poland, and travels via Warsaw, Antwerp, London, Ellis Island, and New York City to Cleveland, where Bill would be born in 1928. Along the way, there is adventure, romance, colorful characters, and the familiar American story of one son's skill and determination enabled him to send for his parents, two brothers and four sisters, saving them from oppression and the eventual murder of every Jew in Losice. Today, because of Izzy's courage and vision, there are hundreds of Singer family members in the U.S. and around the globe.

Book Description
Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday is one of the most popular of Elizabethan plays--entertaining, racy and vivid in its characterization. Revealing a vital portrait of Elizabethan London and the interaction of social classes within the city, its social commentary is on the whole optimistic, though darker tones are discernible. The play has had a lively history of performance on both the professional and amateur stage.

Book Description
‘Trigiani is a master of palpable and visual detail’ Washington Post A sweeping epic of risk and destiny, of family, and of the power of love to change lives forever At the turn of the last century, Ciro, a young dreamer raised in a convent orphanage, and Enza, a practical girl born into poverty, meet as teenagers in the Italian Alps. Stumbling onto a scandal, Ciro is sent to hide in America and work as apprentice in Little Italy. Enza is bereft, but her life too is about to change. Unbeknownst to one another, Ciro is later a shoemaker and Enza is working in a factory in nearby Hoboken when fate reunites them. But it is already too late: Ciro has volunteered to serve in the war, and Enza has a new job at the Metropolitan Opera House that will sweep her into the glamorous salons of Manhattan and into the life of international singing sensation Enrico Caruso. From the stately mansions of Carnegie Hill, to the cobblestone streets of Little Italy, over the perilous cliffs of northern Italy, to the white-capped lakes of northern Minnesota, The Shoemaker’s Wife defines an era with operatic scope and splendour, in this breathtaking multigenerational love story that spans decades and continents as two star-crossed lovers weave their paths to each other. ‘Gloriously romantic… exquisite writing and a story enriched by the power of abiding love’ USA Today ‘Completely wonderful: a rich, sweeping epic which tells the story of the women and men who built America dream by dream’ Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help ‘An old-fashioned, romantic tale of two star-tangled lovers... but also a paean to artisanal work, food, friendship and family’ Washington Post ‘Breathtaking’ Hufffington Post

Book Description
It was a lucky twist of fate when in the early1980s David Levy, a writer and amateur astronomer, joined up with the famous scientist Eugene Shoemaker and his wife, Carolyn, to search for comets from an observation post on Palomar Mountain in Southern California. Their collaboration would lead to the 1993 discovery of the most remarkable comet ever recorded, Shoemaker-Levy 9, with its several nuclei, five tails, and two sheets of debris spread out in its orbit plane. A year later, Levy would be by the Shoemakers' side again when their comet ended its four-billion-year-long journey through the solar system and collided with Jupiter in the most stunning astronomical display of the century. Not only did this collision revolutionize our understanding of the history of the solar system, but it also offered a spectacular confirmation of one scientist's life work. As a close friend and colleague of Shoemaker (who died in 1997 at the age of 69), Levy offers a uniquely insightful account of his life and the way it has shaped our thinking about the universe. Early in his training as a geologist, Shoemaker suspected that it wasn't volcanic activity but rather collisions with comets and asteroids that created most of the craters on the moon and most other bodies in the solar system. Convincing the scientific community of the plausibility of "impact theory," and revealing its power for penetrating mysteries such as the extinction of the dinosaurs and the timing of the Earth's eventual demise, became Shoemaker's mission. Through conversations with Shoemaker and his family, Levy reconstructs the journey that began with a young geologist's serious desire to go to the moon in the late1940s. Sent by the government to find a way to harvest plutonium, Shoemaker instead found evidence in desert craters for what became his impact theory. While he never became an astronaut, he did become the first geologist hired by NASA and subsequently set the research agenda for the first manned lunar landing. After a series of victories and setbacks for Shoemaker, the collision of Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter provided the most convincing proof to date of the role of impacts in our solar system. Levy's explanation of the scientific reasoning that guided Shoemaker in his career up to this dramatic point--as well as his personal portrait of a man who found white-water rafting to be an easy way to relax--sets these fascinating events in a human scale. This biography shows what Shoemaker's legacy will be for our understanding of the story of the Earth well into the twenty-first century.
