        Carol Reed

        by Peter William Evans

        Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

        The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914

        by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David

        The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.

        Punk rock ruined my life

        And other stories

        by John Robb

        The irresistible story of a one-man cultural phenomenon. Minister for the Counterculture, Mancunian mainstay and alternative national treasure John Robb has lived a life in music. In this book he charts his adventures on the cultural frontline, chronicling the making of a DIY icon. Robb's quest began in his hometown of Blackpool - where punk was a battle against the odds - and went international when he toured the world with his band. The first person to interview Nirvana, he also discovered The Stone Roses for weekly newspaper Sounds and did early interviews with The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Manics, before moving on to legends such as Mark E. Smith, Nick Cave and Patti Smith. Along the way, he became an on-screen commentator and author of bestselling books. Robb's memoir tells of deep friendships with figures from Poly Styrene to Chris Packham. Packed with riotous stories, it provides an alternative account of British musical and cultural history and a triumphant blueprint for a punk rock life.

        Der große Gatsby

        by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Reinhard Kaiser

        New York in den 'Goldenen Zwanzigern': Man tanzt Charleston und Black Bottom und begeistert sich für Duke Ellington und Louis Armstrong. Der geheimnisumwitterte Jay Gatsby hat alles, was man mit Geld kaufen kann, und führt ein Leben im Überfluß. Die rauschenden Feste auf seinem märchenhaften Anwesen auf Long Island sind berühmt und ein beliebter Treffpunkt der New Yorker High-Society. Dennoch ist Gatsby ein Einzelgänger, der zurückgezogen lebt. Niemand weiß etwas über seine Herkunft oder welchen dubiosen Geschäften er seinen Reichtum verdankt. Die Geschichte von Jay Gatsby, dem einsamen Millionär, der seiner längst verlorenen Liebe nachjagt, ist einer der größten und meistgelesenen Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur. F. Scott Fitzgerald, der Dichter der 'Roaring Twenties', erzählt von der Glamourwelt der Reichen und von der Oberflächlichkeit und Sinnlosigkeit des mondänen Lebens. In der glanzvollen Neuübersetzung von Reinhard Kaiser ist dieser Roman neu zu entdecken - in seiner Dramatik, seiner Tragik, seiner Eleganz und nicht zuletzt auch in seiner Komik.
