FROM THE PUBLISHER - In ISOBARS, Janette Turner Hospital presents fifteen stories of lives precariously balanced between the past and the present, between the real and the imagined, between the steamy tropical rain forests and beaches of Australia and the urban landscapes of North American cities. The title story is a kind of cubist meditation on violence against women, refracted through years of fragmented memories into a stunning locus of dread. Indeed, each of the stories is in its own way a fugue on the evanescence of time and distance. In The Second Coming of Come-by-Chance, the apocalyptic resurfacing of a submerged city during a drought prompts the reemergence of an old womans memory of her rape as a fledgling schoolteacher some forty years earlier. Throughout these stories the real and the imaginary collide again and again under the pressures of passion, loneliness, and grief. In The Loss of Faith, a middle-aged professor sees his first wife on a New York subway the day she dies in Australia. In A Little Night Music, a young womans brief sexual encounter with a stranger on an airplane turns into to a drug-induced fantasy - perhaps. As the consciousness of her characters flickers between Queensland and Ontario, Sydney and Manhattan, Hospital skillfully blurs the lines between the quotidian and mythic, between the real and surreal. At the haunting conclusion of Uncle Seaborn, a man returning to Australia after the death of his parents finds himself drawn by a talismanic coin and an almost atavistic longing to a mysterious rendezvous in the sea. And in the chilling piece Queen of Pentacles, Nine of Swords, the Tarot is the means by which a fortune-tellers life becomes entangled with that of a brilliantly doomed Indian woman. Yet even the most somber of the stories pulls back at the edge of despair, and there are moments of dazzling illumination, tenderness, and transcendence. In I Saw Three Ships, an alcoholic veteran haunted by a friends death in World War II seeks redemption through a visitation by a young woman he meets on the beach, and comes close to self-forgiveness in a final heart-wrenching tableau of misunderstanding. Profound, compassionate, powerful, these stories explore the outermost boundaries of emotion. ISOBARS reaffirms Janette Turner Hospitals status as one of the preeminent writers of contemporary fiction. inventory #28578 ISBN: 0807117102., London, England: London, UK: Folio Society, 1997, 1997, 1998, 1999, 1st Folio Edition, First and 2nd Printing , 1997. ----------4 volumes (ONE SHIPPING PRICE ), hardcovers, all are illustrated, overseas shipping (anywhere outside of Canada and the USA ) will require additional charges, all are Fine copies in very slightly rubbed Near Fine slipcases, no dustjackets as issued, all 4 books are about 6.25w x 9.5h inches, all in uniform format and condition, American and Russian are 1997 and are 2nd printings, French is 1998 and is a 1st printing, Irish is 1999 and is a 1st printing ---AMERICAN (436 pages ) contains: AMERICAN (436 pages ) contains: Intro by William Abrahams; Rip van Winkle by Washington Irving; The One Million Pound Bank Note by Mark Twain; The Outcasts of Poker Flats by Bret Harte; A Horseman in the Sky by Ambrose Bierce; The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James; Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne; The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe; Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville; The Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale; Marsh Rosemary by Sarah Orne Jewett; Desiree's baby by Kate Chopin; A New England Nun by Mary Elizabeth Wilkins; The Wife of His Youth by Charles Chestnutt; Some Like Them Cold by Ring Lardner; The idyll of Miss Sarah Brown by Damon Runyon; The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman; The Other two by Edith Wharton; A Municipal Report by O Henry; The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky by Stephen Crane; The Enchanted Bluff by Willa Cather; Hands by Sherwood Anderson; Batard by Jack London; Glory in the Daytime by Dorothy Parker; A Ride with Olympy by James Thurber; An Alcoholic case by F Scott Fitzgerald; Barn Burning by William Faulkner; The Killers by Ernest Hemingway; The Snake by John Steinbeck, ---FRENCH ( 412 pages ) contains: Intro by Brian masters; The Boy Who Bedded His Mother and Sister by Marguerite de Navarre; Cosi-Sancta, a little ill for a great good by Voltaire; The Self Made Cuckold by Marquis de Sade; Dead mans Combe by Charles Nodier; The Duchess of Palliano by Stendahl; An Episode of the Reign of Terror by Honore de Balzac; The Adventure of Seven Stars on earth by Alexandre Dumas; Claude Gueux, King of Thieves by Victor Hugo; The Etruscan vase by Prosper Merimee; Medical Advice by Charles de Bernard; The Greatest Love of Don Juan by Jules Barbey DAurevilly; Mimi Pinson by Alfred de Musset; The Mummys Foot by Theophile Gautier; A Simple Heart by Gustave Flaubert; In the Twenty Ninth Century, The Day of an American Journalist in 2889 by Jules Verne; The Desire to be a Man by Villiers de LIsle-Adam; The Stars by Alphonse Daudet; The Attack on the Mill by Emile Zola; The Procurator of Judaea by Anatole France; Miss Harriet by Guy de Maupassant; The Work of a Lifetime by Edmond Haraucourt; The Veiled Man by Marcel Schwob; A Young Girls Confession by Marcel Proust; Green Sealing Wax by Colette; The Wall by Jean Paul Sartre; The Guest by Albert Camus ---RUSSIAN ( 386 pages ) contains: Intro by John Bayley; The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin; The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol; Taman by Mikhail Lermontov; The Song of Triumphant Love by Ivan Turgenev; The Honest Thief by Fyodor Dostoevsky; The Wild Squire by N Shchedrin ( Mikhail Saltykov ); The Raid by leo Tolstoy; Lady macBeth f the Minsk District by Nikolai leskov; The Murmuring Forest by Vladimir Korolenko; The Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin; The Kiss by Anton Chekhov; Twenty-six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky; The Gentleman by San Francisco by Ivan Bunin; The Death of Romelink by Alex.

It began to emerge from America's urban nightlife scene, where it had been curtailed to house parties and makeshift discotheques from the middle of the decade onwards, after which, it began making regular mainstream appearances, gaining popularity and increasing airplay on radio. Its popularity was achieved sometime during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Its initial audiences in the U.S. were club-goers, both male and female, from the African American, Italian American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco can be seen as a reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. Several dances styles were also developed during this time including the Bump and the Hustle.The disco sound often has several components, a "four-on-the-floor" beat, an eighth note (quaver) or 16th note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and a prominent, syncopated electric bass line. In most disco tracks, string sections, horns, electric piano, and electric rhythm guitars create a lush background sound. Orchestral instruments such as the flute are often used for solo melodies, and lead guitar is less frequently used in disco than in rock. Many disco songs use electronic synthesizers, particularly in the late 1970s.Well-known 1970s and 1980s disco performers included: Vicki Sue Robinson, Yvonne Elliman, Grace Jones, Divine, Lime, Thelma Houston, Diana Ross, Cher, Cheryl Lynn, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, Boney M., Claudja Barry, Billy Ocean, Cerrone, Dan Hartman, Madonna, Miquel Brown, Chaka Khan, KC and the Sunshine Band, the Trammps, Marlena Shaw, Sylvester, Village People, Gloria Gaynor, Amii Stewart, and Chic. While performers and singers garnered much public attention, record producers working behind the scenes played an important role in developing the "disco sound". Many non-disco artists recorded disco songs at the height of disco's popularity, and films such as Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Thank God It's Friday (1978) contributed to disco's rise in mainstream popularity.By the late 1970s, most major U.S. cities had thriving disco club scenes, where DJs would mix a seamless sequence of dance records. Studio 54, a venue popular among celebrities, was a well-known disco club of that time. Discotheque-goers often wore expensive, extravagant and sexy fashions. There was also a thriving drug subculture in the disco scene, particularly for drugs that would enhance the experience of dancing to the loud music and the flashing lights, such as cocaine and Quaaludes, a drug that was so common in disco subculture that it was nicknamed "disco biscuits". Disco clubs were also sometimes associated with promiscuity.Disco was the last mass popular music movement that was driven by the baby boom generation. Disco was a worldwide phenomenon, but its popularity drastically declined in the United States in 1980, and by 1982 it had lost most of its mainstream popularity in the states. Disco Demolition Night, an anti-disco protest held in Chicago on July 12, 1979, remains the most well-known of several "backlash" incidents across the country that symbolized disco's declining fortune.Disco was a key influence in the later development of electronic dance music and house music. Disco has had several revivals, including in 2005 with Madonna's highly successful album Confessions on a Dance Floor, and again in 2013 and 2014, as disco-styled songs by artists like Daft Punk (with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers), Justin Timberlake, Breakbot, and Bruno Marsnotably Mars' "Uptown Funk"filled the pop charts in the UK and the US.From 1974 to 1977, disco music continued to increase in popularity as many disco songs topped the charts. In 1974, "Love's Theme" by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra became the second disco song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, after "Love Train". MFSB also released "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", featuring vocals by the Three Degrees, and this was the third disco song to hit number one; "TSOP" was written as the theme song for Soul Train.The Hues Corporation's 1974 "Rock the Boat", a U.S. number 1 single and million-seller, was one of the early disco songs to hit number 1. The same year saw the release of "Kung Fu Fighting", performed by Carl Douglas and produced by Biddu, which reached number 1 in both the U.K. and U.S., and became the best-selling single of the year and one of the best-selling singles of all time with eleven million records sold worldwide, helping to popularize disco music to a great extent. Another notable chart-topping disco hit that year was George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby".In the northwestern sections of the United Kingdom, the Northern Soul explosion, which started in the late 1960s and peaked in 1974, made the region receptive to Disco, which the region's Disc Jockeys were bringing back from New York City. George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" became the United Kingdom's first number one disco single.Also in 1974, Gloria Gaynor released the first side-long disco mix vinyl album, which included a remake of the Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye" and two other songs, "Honey Bee" and his disco version of "Reach Out (I'll Be There)". Gaynor's number one disco hit was "I Will Survive", released in 1978, which was seen as a symbol of female strength and a gay anthem.Formed by Harry Wayne Casey ("KC") and Richard Finch, Miami's KC and the Sunshine Band had a string of disco-definitive top-five hits between 1975 and 1977, including "Get Down Tonight", "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man" and "Keep It Comin' Love". Electric Light Orchestra's 1975 hit "Evil Woman", although described as Orchestral Rock, featured a violin sound that became a staple of disco. In 1979, however, ELO did release two "true" disco songs: "Last Train To London" and "Shine A Little Love".In 1975, American singer and songwriter Donna Summer recorded a song which she brought to her producer Giorgio Moroder entitled "Love to Love You Baby" which contained a series of simulated orgasms. The song was never intended for release but when Moroder played it in the clubs it caused a sensation. Moroder released it and it went to number 2. It has been described as the arrival of the expression of raw female sexual desire in pop music. A 17-minute 12 inch single was released. The 12" single became and remains a standard in discos today.In 1977 Summer released "I Feel Love", which combined disco with its subgenre Hi-NRG and electronic music, while in 1978, her multi-million selling vinyl single disco version of "MacArthur Park" was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Summer's recording, which was included as part of the "MacArthur Park Suite" on her double album Live and More, was eight minutes and forty seconds long on the album. The shorter seven-inch vinyl single version of the MacArthur Park was Summer's first single to reach number one on the Hot 100; it does not include the balladic second movement of the song, however. A 2013 remix of "Mac Arthur Park" by Summer hit number 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts marking five consecutive decades with a number 1 hit on the charts. From 1978 to 1979, Summer continued to release hits such as "Last Dance", "Bad Girls", "Heaven Knows", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", "Hot Stuff" and "On the Radio", all very successful disco songs.The Bee Gees used Barry Gibb's falsetto to garner hits such as "You Should Be Dancing", "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", "More Than A Woman" and "Love You Inside Out". Andy Gibb, a younger brother to the Bee Gees, followed with similarly-styled solo hits such as "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" and "Shadow Dancing". In 1975, hits such as Van McCoy's "The Hustle" and Summer's version of "Could It Be Magic" brought disco further into the mainstream. Other notable early disco hits include the Jackson 5's "Dancing Machine" (1974), Barry White's "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" (1974), Labelle's "Lady Marmalade" (1974) and Silver Convention's "Fly Robin Fly" (1975).In December 1977, the film Saturday Night Fever was released. It was a huge success and its soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The idea for the film was sparked by a 1976 New York magazine article titled "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" which supposedly chronicled the disco culture in mid-1970s New York City, but was later revealed to have been fabricated. Some critics said the film "mainstreamed" disco, making it more acceptable to heterosexual white males.Chic was formed mainly by guitarist Nile Rodgers a self described "street hippie" from late 1960s New York and bassist Bernard Edwards. "Le Freak" was a popular 1978 single of theirs that is regarded as an iconic song of the genre. Other hits by Chic include the often-sampled "Good Times" (1979) and "Everybody Dance" (1979). The group regarded themselves as the disco movement's rock band that made good on the hippie movement's ideals of peace, love, and freedom. Every song they wrote was written with an eye toward giving it "deep hidden meaning" or D.H.M.Sylvester, a flamboyant and openly gay singer famous for his soaring falsetto voice, scored his biggest disco hits in 1978 "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", and "Dance (Disco Heat)", followed by "Body Strong" in 1979. Known as the Queen of Disco, his singing style was said to have influenced the singer Prince. At that time, disco was one of the forms of music most open to gay performers.The Village People were a singing/dancing group created by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco's gay audience. They were known for their onstage costumes of typically male-considered jobs and ethnic minorities and achieved mainstream success with their 1978 hit song, "Y.M.C.A."; other hits included "Macho Man" (1978) and "In the Navy" (1979).The Jacksons (previously "the Jackson 5") did many disco songs from 1975 to 1980, including "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" (1978), "Blame it on the Boogie" (1978), "Lovely One" (1980), and "Can You Feel It" (1980)all sung by Michael Jackson, whose 1979 solo album, Off the Wall, included several disco hits, including the album's title song, "Rock with You", "Workin' Day and Night", and his second chart-topping solo hit in the disco genre, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".Disco's popularity led many non-disco pop and some rock artists to record disco songs at the height of its popularity. Many of their songs were not "pure" disco, but were instead rock or pop songs with (sometimes inescapable) disco influence or overtones. Notable examples include Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" (1978) and "Boogie Wonderland" with the Emotions (1979), Blondie's "Heart of Glass" (1978) and "Rapture" (1980), Cher's "Take Me Home" and "Hell on Wheels" (both 1979), Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" (1978), David Bowie's "John I'm Only Dancing (Again)" (1979), Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (1979), Frankie Valli's "Swearin' to God" (1975), George Benson's "Give Me the Night" (1980), Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (1976), M's "Pop Muzik" (1979), Barbra Streisand's "The Main Event" (1979), Heart's "Straight On" (1978), The biggest hit by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, best known as a new wave band, was "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" (1978), featuring a strong disco sound.Even hard-core mainstream rockers mixed elements of disco with their typical rock 'n roll style in songs. Progressive rock group Pink Floyd, when creating their rock opera The Wall, used disco-style components in their song, "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979)which became the group's only number 1 hit single (in both the US and UK). The Eagles gave nods to disco with "One of These Nights" (1975) and "Disco Strangler" (1979), Paul McCartney & Wings did "Goodnight Tonight" (1979), Queen did "Another One Bites the Dust" (1980), the Rolling Stones did "Miss You" (1978) and "Emotional Rescue" (1980), Electric Light Orchestra's "Shine a Little Love" and "Last Train to London" (both 1979), Chicago did "Street Player" (1979), the Kinks did "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" (1979), Bryan Adams did "Let Me Take You Dancing" (1978), and the J. Geils Band did "Come Back" (1980). Even hard rock group KISS jumped in with "I Was Made For Lovin' You" (1979). Ringo Starr's album Ringo the 4th (1978) features a strong disco influence.The disco sound was also adopted by "non-pop" artists, including the 1979 U.S. number one hit "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" by Easy listening singer Barbra Streisand in a duet with Donna Summer. Country music artist Connie Smith covered Andy Gibb's "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" in 1977, Bill Anderson did "Double S" in 1978, and Ronnie Milsap recorded "Get It Up" and covered Tommy Tucker's "Hi-Heel Sneakers" in 1979.Also noteworthy are John Paul Young's "Love Is in the Air" (1977), Patrick Hernandez's "Born to Be Alive" (1978), Cheryl Lynn's "Got to Be Real" (1978), Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Shame" (1978), Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" (1979), Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" (1979), Lipps Inc.'s "Funkytown" (1979), Geraldine Hunt's "Can't Fake the Feeling" (1980), Alicia Bridges' "I Love the Nightlife" (1978) and Walter Murphy's various attempts to bring classical music to the mainstream, most notably his disco hit "A Fifth of Beethoven" (1976), which was inspired by Beethoven's fifth symphony.Pre-existing non-disco songs and standards would frequently be "disco-ized" in the 1970s. The rich orchestral accompaniment that became identified with the disco era conjured up the memories of the big band erawhich brought out several artists that recorded and disco-ized some big band arrangements including Perry Como, who re-recorded his 1929 and 1939 hit, "Temptation", in 1975, as well as Ethel Merman, who released an album of disco songs entitled The Ethel Merman Disco Album in 1979.Myron Floren, second-in-command on The Lawrence Welk Show, released a recording of the "Clarinet Polka" entitled "Disco Accordion."

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In ISOBARS, Janette Turner Hospital presents fifteen stories of lives precariously balanced between the past and the present, between the real and the imagined, between the steamy tropical rain forests and beaches of Australia and the urban landscapes of North American cities. The title story is a kind of cubist meditation on violence against women, refracted through years of fragmented memories into a stunning locus of dread. Indeed, each of the stories is in its own way a fugue on the evanescence of time and distance. In The Second Coming of Come-by-Chance, the apocalyptic resurfacing of a submerged city during a drought prompts the reemergence of an old womans memory of her rape as a fledgling schoolteacher some forty years earlier. Throughout these stories the real and the imaginary collide again and again under the pressures of passion, loneliness, and grief. In The Loss of Faith, a middle-aged professor sees his first wife on a New York subway the day she dies in Australia. In A Little Night Music, a young womans brief sexual encounter with a stranger on an airplane turns into to a drug-induced fantasy - perhaps. As the consciousness of her characters flickers between Queensland and Ontario, Sydney and Manhattan, Hospital skillfully blurs the lines between the quotidian and mythic, between the real and surreal. At the haunting conclusion of Uncle Seaborn, a man returning to Australia after the death of his parents finds himself drawn by a talismanic coin and an almost atavistic longing to a mysterious rendezvous in the sea. And in the chilling piece Queen of Pentacles, Nine of Swords, the Tarot is the means by which a fortune-tellers life becomes entangled with that of a brilliantly doomed Indian woman. Yet even the most somber of the stories pulls back at the edge of despair, and there are moments of dazzling illumination, tenderness, and transcendence. In I Saw Three Ships, an alcoholic veteran haunted by a friends death in World War II seeks redemption through a visitation by a young woman he meets on the beach, and comes close to self-forgiveness in a final heart-wrenching tableau of misunderstanding. Profound, compassionate, powerful, these stories explore the outermost boundaries of emotion. ISOBARS reaffirms Janette Turner Hospitals status as one of the preeminent writers of contemporary fiction. inventory #28578 ISBN: 0807117102., London, England: London, UK: Folio Society, 1997, 1997, 1998, 1999, 1st Folio Edition, First and 2nd Printing , 1997. ----------4 volumes (ONE SHIPPING PRICE ), hardcovers, all are illustrated, overseas shipping (anywhere outside of Canada and the USA ) will require additional charges, all are Fine copies in very slightly rubbed Near Fine slipcases, no dustjackets as issued, all 4 books are about 6.25w x 9.5h inches, all in uniform format and condition, American and Russian are 1997 and are 2nd printings, French is 1998 and is a 1st printing, Irish is 1999 and is a 1st printing ---AMERICAN (436 pages ) contains: AMERICAN (436 pages ) contains: Intro by William Abrahams; Rip van Winkle by Washington Irving; The One Million Pound Bank Note by Mark Twain; The Outcasts of Poker Flats by Bret Harte; A Horseman in the Sky by Ambrose Bierce; The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James; Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne; The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe; Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Melville; The Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale; Marsh Rosemary by Sarah Orne Jewett; Desiree's baby by Kate Chopin; A New England Nun by Mary Elizabeth Wilkins; The Wife of His Youth by Charles Chestnutt; Some Like Them Cold by Ring Lardner; The idyll of Miss Sarah Brown by Damon Runyon; The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman; The Other two by Edith Wharton; A Municipal Report by O Henry; The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky by Stephen Crane; The Enchanted Bluff by Willa Cather; Hands by Sherwood Anderson; Batard by Jack London; Glory in the Daytime by Dorothy Parker; A Ride with Olympy by James Thurber; An Alcoholic case by F Scott Fitzgerald; Barn Burning by William Faulkner; The Killers by Ernest Hemingway; The Snake by John Steinbeck, ---FRENCH ( 412 pages ) contains: Intro by Brian masters; The Boy Who Bedded His Mother and Sister by Marguerite de Navarre; Cosi-Sancta, a little ill for a great good by Voltaire; The Self Made Cuckold by Marquis de Sade; Dead mans Combe by Charles Nodier; The Duchess of Palliano by Stendahl; An Episode of the Reign of Terror by Honore de Balzac; The Adventure of Seven Stars on earth by Alexandre Dumas; Claude Gueux, King of Thieves by Victor Hugo; The Etruscan vase by Prosper Merimee; Medical Advice by Charles de Bernard; The Greatest Love of Don Juan by Jules Barbey DAurevilly; Mimi Pinson by Alfred de Musset; The Mummys Foot by Theophile Gautier; A Simple Heart by Gustave Flaubert; In the Twenty Ninth Century, The Day of an American Journalist in 2889 by Jules Verne; The Desire to be a Man by Villiers de LIsle-Adam; The Stars by Alphonse Daudet; The Attack on the Mill by Emile Zola; The Procurator of Judaea by Anatole France; Miss Harriet by Guy de Maupassant; The Work of a Lifetime by Edmond Haraucourt; The Veiled Man by Marcel Schwob; A Young Girls Confession by Marcel Proust; Green Sealing Wax by Colette; The Wall by Jean Paul Sartre; The Guest by Albert Camus ---RUSSIAN ( 386 pages ) contains: Intro by John Bayley; The Queen of Spades by Alexander Pushkin; The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol; Taman by Mikhail Lermontov; The Song of Triumphant Love by Ivan Turgenev; The Honest Thief by Fyodor Dostoevsky; The Wild Squire by N Shchedrin ( Mikhail Saltykov ); The Raid by leo Tolstoy; Lady macBeth f the Minsk District by Nikolai leskov; The Murmuring Forest by Vladimir Korolenko; The Red Flower by Vsevolod Garshin; The Kiss by Anton Chekhov; Twenty-six Men and a Girl by Maxim Gorky; The Gentleman by San Francisco by Ivan Bunin; The Death of Romelink by Alex.

It began to emerge from America's urban nightlife scene, where it had been curtailed to house parties and makeshift discotheques from the middle of the decade onwards, after which, it began making regular mainstream appearances, gaining popularity and increasing airplay on radio. Its popularity was achieved sometime during the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Its initial audiences in the U.S. were club-goers, both male and female, from the African American, Italian American, Latino, and psychedelic communities in Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York City during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Disco can be seen as a reaction against both the domination of rock music and the stigmatization of dance music by the counterculture during this period. Several dances styles were also developed during this time including the Bump and the Hustle.The disco sound often has several components, a "four-on-the-floor" beat, an eighth note (quaver) or 16th note (semi-quaver) hi-hat pattern with an open hi-hat on the off-beat, and a prominent, syncopated electric bass line. In most disco tracks, string sections, horns, electric piano, and electric rhythm guitars create a lush background sound. Orchestral instruments such as the flute are often used for solo melodies, and lead guitar is less frequently used in disco than in rock. Many disco songs use electronic synthesizers, particularly in the late 1970s.Well-known 1970s and 1980s disco performers included: Vicki Sue Robinson, Yvonne Elliman, Grace Jones, Divine, Lime, Thelma Houston, Diana Ross, Cher, Cheryl Lynn, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, Boney M., Claudja Barry, Billy Ocean, Cerrone, Dan Hartman, Madonna, Miquel Brown, Chaka Khan, KC and the Sunshine Band, the Trammps, Marlena Shaw, Sylvester, Village People, Gloria Gaynor, Amii Stewart, and Chic. While performers and singers garnered much public attention, record producers working behind the scenes played an important role in developing the "disco sound". Many non-disco artists recorded disco songs at the height of disco's popularity, and films such as Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Thank God It's Friday (1978) contributed to disco's rise in mainstream popularity.By the late 1970s, most major U.S. cities had thriving disco club scenes, where DJs would mix a seamless sequence of dance records. Studio 54, a venue popular among celebrities, was a well-known disco club of that time. Discotheque-goers often wore expensive, extravagant and sexy fashions. There was also a thriving drug subculture in the disco scene, particularly for drugs that would enhance the experience of dancing to the loud music and the flashing lights, such as cocaine and Quaaludes, a drug that was so common in disco subculture that it was nicknamed "disco biscuits". Disco clubs were also sometimes associated with promiscuity.Disco was the last mass popular music movement that was driven by the baby boom generation. Disco was a worldwide phenomenon, but its popularity drastically declined in the United States in 1980, and by 1982 it had lost most of its mainstream popularity in the states. Disco Demolition Night, an anti-disco protest held in Chicago on July 12, 1979, remains the most well-known of several "backlash" incidents across the country that symbolized disco's declining fortune.Disco was a key influence in the later development of electronic dance music and house music. Disco has had several revivals, including in 2005 with Madonna's highly successful album Confessions on a Dance Floor, and again in 2013 and 2014, as disco-styled songs by artists like Daft Punk (with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers), Justin Timberlake, Breakbot, and Bruno Marsnotably Mars' "Uptown Funk"filled the pop charts in the UK and the US.From 1974 to 1977, disco music continued to increase in popularity as many disco songs topped the charts. In 1974, "Love's Theme" by Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra became the second disco song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, after "Love Train". MFSB also released "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", featuring vocals by the Three Degrees, and this was the third disco song to hit number one; "TSOP" was written as the theme song for Soul Train.The Hues Corporation's 1974 "Rock the Boat", a U.S. number 1 single and million-seller, was one of the early disco songs to hit number 1. The same year saw the release of "Kung Fu Fighting", performed by Carl Douglas and produced by Biddu, which reached number 1 in both the U.K. and U.S., and became the best-selling single of the year and one of the best-selling singles of all time with eleven million records sold worldwide, helping to popularize disco music to a great extent. Another notable chart-topping disco hit that year was George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby".In the northwestern sections of the United Kingdom, the Northern Soul explosion, which started in the late 1960s and peaked in 1974, made the region receptive to Disco, which the region's Disc Jockeys were bringing back from New York City. George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby" became the United Kingdom's first number one disco single.Also in 1974, Gloria Gaynor released the first side-long disco mix vinyl album, which included a remake of the Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye" and two other songs, "Honey Bee" and his disco version of "Reach Out (I'll Be There)". Gaynor's number one disco hit was "I Will Survive", released in 1978, which was seen as a symbol of female strength and a gay anthem.Formed by Harry Wayne Casey ("KC") and Richard Finch, Miami's KC and the Sunshine Band had a string of disco-definitive top-five hits between 1975 and 1977, including "Get Down Tonight", "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man" and "Keep It Comin' Love". Electric Light Orchestra's 1975 hit "Evil Woman", although described as Orchestral Rock, featured a violin sound that became a staple of disco. In 1979, however, ELO did release two "true" disco songs: "Last Train To London" and "Shine A Little Love".In 1975, American singer and songwriter Donna Summer recorded a song which she brought to her producer Giorgio Moroder entitled "Love to Love You Baby" which contained a series of simulated orgasms. The song was never intended for release but when Moroder played it in the clubs it caused a sensation. Moroder released it and it went to number 2. It has been described as the arrival of the expression of raw female sexual desire in pop music. A 17-minute 12 inch single was released. The 12" single became and remains a standard in discos today.In 1977 Summer released "I Feel Love", which combined disco with its subgenre Hi-NRG and electronic music, while in 1978, her multi-million selling vinyl single disco version of "MacArthur Park" was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Summer's recording, which was included as part of the "MacArthur Park Suite" on her double album Live and More, was eight minutes and forty seconds long on the album. The shorter seven-inch vinyl single version of the MacArthur Park was Summer's first single to reach number one on the Hot 100; it does not include the balladic second movement of the song, however. A 2013 remix of "Mac Arthur Park" by Summer hit number 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts marking five consecutive decades with a number 1 hit on the charts. From 1978 to 1979, Summer continued to release hits such as "Last Dance", "Bad Girls", "Heaven Knows", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", "Hot Stuff" and "On the Radio", all very successful disco songs.The Bee Gees used Barry Gibb's falsetto to garner hits such as "You Should Be Dancing", "Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", "More Than A Woman" and "Love You Inside Out". Andy Gibb, a younger brother to the Bee Gees, followed with similarly-styled solo hits such as "I Just Want to Be Your Everything", "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" and "Shadow Dancing". In 1975, hits such as Van McCoy's "The Hustle" and Summer's version of "Could It Be Magic" brought disco further into the mainstream. Other notable early disco hits include the Jackson 5's "Dancing Machine" (1974), Barry White's "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" (1974), Labelle's "Lady Marmalade" (1974) and Silver Convention's "Fly Robin Fly" (1975).In December 1977, the film Saturday Night Fever was released. It was a huge success and its soundtrack became one of the best-selling albums of all time. The idea for the film was sparked by a 1976 New York magazine article titled "Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night" which supposedly chronicled the disco culture in mid-1970s New York City, but was later revealed to have been fabricated. Some critics said the film "mainstreamed" disco, making it more acceptable to heterosexual white males.Chic was formed mainly by guitarist Nile Rodgers a self described "street hippie" from late 1960s New York and bassist Bernard Edwards. "Le Freak" was a popular 1978 single of theirs that is regarded as an iconic song of the genre. Other hits by Chic include the often-sampled "Good Times" (1979) and "Everybody Dance" (1979). The group regarded themselves as the disco movement's rock band that made good on the hippie movement's ideals of peace, love, and freedom. Every song they wrote was written with an eye toward giving it "deep hidden meaning" or D.H.M.Sylvester, a flamboyant and openly gay singer famous for his soaring falsetto voice, scored his biggest disco hits in 1978 "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", and "Dance (Disco Heat)", followed by "Body Strong" in 1979. Known as the Queen of Disco, his singing style was said to have influenced the singer Prince. At that time, disco was one of the forms of music most open to gay performers.The Village People were a singing/dancing group created by Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco's gay audience. They were known for their onstage costumes of typically male-considered jobs and ethnic minorities and achieved mainstream success with their 1978 hit song, "Y.M.C.A."; other hits included "Macho Man" (1978) and "In the Navy" (1979).The Jacksons (previously "the Jackson 5") did many disco songs from 1975 to 1980, including "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" (1978), "Blame it on the Boogie" (1978), "Lovely One" (1980), and "Can You Feel It" (1980)all sung by Michael Jackson, whose 1979 solo album, Off the Wall, included several disco hits, including the album's title song, "Rock with You", "Workin' Day and Night", and his second chart-topping solo hit in the disco genre, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough".Disco's popularity led many non-disco pop and some rock artists to record disco songs at the height of its popularity. Many of their songs were not "pure" disco, but were instead rock or pop songs with (sometimes inescapable) disco influence or overtones. Notable examples include Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" (1978) and "Boogie Wonderland" with the Emotions (1979), Blondie's "Heart of Glass" (1978) and "Rapture" (1980), Cher's "Take Me Home" and "Hell on Wheels" (both 1979), Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" (1978), David Bowie's "John I'm Only Dancing (Again)" (1979), Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (1979), Frankie Valli's "Swearin' to God" (1975), George Benson's "Give Me the Night" (1980), Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (1976), M's "Pop Muzik" (1979), Barbra Streisand's "The Main Event" (1979), Heart's "Straight On" (1978), The biggest hit by Ian Dury and the Blockheads, best known as a new wave band, was "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick" (1978), featuring a strong disco sound.Even hard-core mainstream rockers mixed elements of disco with their typical rock 'n roll style in songs. Progressive rock group Pink Floyd, when creating their rock opera The Wall, used disco-style components in their song, "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979)which became the group's only number 1 hit single (in both the US and UK). The Eagles gave nods to disco with "One of These Nights" (1975) and "Disco Strangler" (1979), Paul McCartney & Wings did "Goodnight Tonight" (1979), Queen did "Another One Bites the Dust" (1980), the Rolling Stones did "Miss You" (1978) and "Emotional Rescue" (1980), Electric Light Orchestra's "Shine a Little Love" and "Last Train to London" (both 1979), Chicago did "Street Player" (1979), the Kinks did "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" (1979), Bryan Adams did "Let Me Take You Dancing" (1978), and the J. Geils Band did "Come Back" (1980). Even hard rock group KISS jumped in with "I Was Made For Lovin' You" (1979). Ringo Starr's album Ringo the 4th (1978) features a strong disco influence.The disco sound was also adopted by "non-pop" artists, including the 1979 U.S. number one hit "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" by Easy listening singer Barbra Streisand in a duet with Donna Summer. Country music artist Connie Smith covered Andy Gibb's "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" in 1977, Bill Anderson did "Double S" in 1978, and Ronnie Milsap recorded "Get It Up" and covered Tommy Tucker's "Hi-Heel Sneakers" in 1979.Also noteworthy are John Paul Young's "Love Is in the Air" (1977), Patrick Hernandez's "Born to Be Alive" (1978), Cheryl Lynn's "Got to Be Real" (1978), Evelyn "Champagne" King's "Shame" (1978), Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" (1979), Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" (1979), Lipps Inc.'s "Funkytown" (1979), Geraldine Hunt's "Can't Fake the Feeling" (1980), Alicia Bridges' "I Love the Nightlife" (1978) and Walter Murphy's various attempts to bring classical music to the mainstream, most notably his disco hit "A Fifth of Beethoven" (1976), which was inspired by Beethoven's fifth symphony.Pre-existing non-disco songs and standards would frequently be "disco-ized" in the 1970s. The rich orchestral accompaniment that became identified with the disco era conjured up the memories of the big band erawhich brought out several artists that recorded and disco-ized some big band arrangements including Perry Como, who re-recorded his 1929 and 1939 hit, "Temptation", in 1975, as well as Ethel Merman, who released an album of disco songs entitled The Ethel Merman Disco Album in 1979.Myron Floren, second-in-command on The Lawrence Welk Show, released a recording of the "Clarinet Polka" entitled "Disco Accordion."
