PROMO: LEARN ABOUT TIBETAN ART WITH 'THE GOLDEN VALLEY: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE OTHER CULTURAL CENTER OF TIBET' BY DAVID HUBER & DAVID GLANTZ

 DAVID HUBER'S NEW BOOK

THE GOLDEN VALLEY: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE OTHER CULTURAL CENTER OF TIBET

As you know your trusted Hollywood Spy is one of web's leading places for all things historical, so here's a chance for you to get to know the history of one of world's most mysterious places better: David Huber's and Dave Glantz's THE GOLDEN VALLEY: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE OTHER CULTURAL CENTER OF TIBET will offer you a look not only into the history of Tibet and its Golden Valley, but also of its art through detailed text and colourful photographs.

The recent discovery of a rich cultural treasure trove of ancient Tibetan monastic art and furniture shines a light on an overlooked cluster of monasteries located in an eastern region of Tibet known as The Golden Valley. Tracing the tumultuous history of the valley from the 7th century to the present day provides the backdrop for the many influences on the evolution of its art, whether from enlightened Buddhist teachers or invading armies. Richly photographed, the book not only features the art itself – from exquisite centuries-old wall hangings to ingeniously designed furniture, all produced by dedicated monks – but also explains in unprecedented detail the symbolism and philosophy incorporated into these pieces, their stunning decorations serving a dual purpose as teaching devices. Finally, the book introduces the reader to daily life of the monks and nearby villagers. Taken together, the art showcased in this book is meant to guide the reader into the culture, mind and faith of the artists and their communities, and tell their previously untold story.

TIP FOR THE READERS given the authors' professional background we'd take the political aspect of the book with certain reservations.

TIP FOR THE AUTHORS better positioning of the photos, division of chapters into smaller subchapters and a wider choice of fonts in titles would make the book more attractive.

'LOVE THE COOPERS' TRAILER WITH OLIVIA WILDE, ED HELMS, AMANDA SEYFRIED, DIANE KEATON! LIONSGATE ADAPTS CONN IGGULDEN'S 'EMPEROR' CAESAR NOVELS! MGM ADAPTS NICOLA YOON'S 'EVERYTHING EVERYTHING'

CONN IGGULDEN'S 'EMPEROR' 

 CAESAR NOVELS TO BE ADAPTED

Two book adaptations today, starting with the news coming from 'Deadline' on Conn Iggulden's famous EMPEROR novels being bought by Summit Entertainment for big screen adaptation as a trilogy about the rise of Julius Caesar and his best friend and eventual mortal enemy Marcus Brutus. EMPEROR will be based on Iggulden's 'The Gates Of Rome' and 'The Field Of Swords' — that establish the relationship between Caesar and Marcus from boyhood. The books cover their rise to the top of the Roman Empire, and the political and romantic entanglements that culminate in the Roman Senate. The final novel covers the revenge taken on Caesar’s murderers by Octavius and Mark Antony. In the first film, Julius and Marcus bond at boyhood and grow into warriors who become politically ambitious and powerful enough to be regarded as threats by the establishment.

'EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING' 

TO BECOME A MOVIE AT MGM
The second one is coming from my publisher who just nabbed the rights for my country and MGM who will turn Nicola Yoon's EVERYTHING EVERYTHING hit YA novel into a movie written by J. Mills Goodloe who earlier this year wrote brilliant AGE OF ADALINE! The book which is out next week and has already been sold in 21 countries, follows Maddy, a teen who has severe combined immunodeficiency, a rare disease that causes her to be allergic to practically everything. She’s spent 17 years hiding out in her home, only seeing her mother and her nurse, Carla. But when a boy named Olly moves in next door, Maddy begins to fall in love. The story is told through vignettes, diary entries, texts, charts, lists, illustrations...

TIPS FOR THE AUTHOR  use wide angles with photos, not the less attractive close ups, and avoid overly simplistic food (throwing plain eggplant slices onto the grill or dipping cherries into plain chocolate isn't a bookworthy recipe).
