Bøger om Art deco

De stumme gudinder er en håndtegners hyldest til de kvindelige filmskuespillere, der gennem deres optræden på det hvide lærred i stumfilmens æra ikke alene skrev sig ind i filmhistorien, men desuden var med til at bane vejen for den moderne, selvstændige kvinde.

Lorna is following her dreams. But can she follow her heart?Lorna Ferguson has dreamt of opening her own bed and breakfast in the village of Glendale for as long as she'd pictured falling in love. While her love life remains frankly hopeless, Lorna is determined to secure Dove House - the home she imagined living in as a child - to start this new venture with her family. Along with brother Adam, Lorna starts restoring the house to its Art Deco glory, but faced with a whole host of renovation problems and their money fast running out, they worry that Dove House will never be ready to open in the New Year. When a mystery man turns up, needing to fulfil a promise he made to his dying father and find the object he left at Dove House many years ago, Lorna's heart goes out to him. But what they find there is going to change both of their lives forever. Facing problems at every turn, and distracted by her heart, Lorna is going to need all the magic that her beloved Glendale can supply to make all her dreams come true...

En 1927, Belphégor est remis au goût du jour par l'écrivain breton Arthur Bérnède. Sans doute inspiré par le succès du Fantôme de l'Opéra et de Fantomas, Bérnède transpose le mythe de Belphégor au Louvre. Les premières lignes du roman, sobrement intitulé Belphégor, donnent le ton:"Il y a un fantôme au Louvre! Telle était l'étrange rumeur qui, le matin du 17 mai 1925, circulait dans notre musée national".L'écrivain présente dans un premier temps Belphégor comme un être surnaturel. Il s'amuse à l'envie à disparaître et reparaître en donnant des frissons aux gardiens du Louvre, aux détectives, aux journalistes, aux policiers qui le poursuivent sans que leurs revolvers ne puissent le cribler de balles. Rapidement, la supercherie éclate: Belphégor n'est pas un fantôme, mais un être de chair et de sang, une femme masquée qui cherche le "trésor des Valois". Bien entendu, ce trésor n'existe pas non plus...
