Book excerpt: High on a hilltop of windswept grasslands, once the site of a Celtic fort, stands Kimbles Top: the award-winning, innovative house built for Gina by her architect husband in the late 1960s. Now Gina has died and her will leaves Kimbles Top not to her daughter, but to her brash domineering niece, Robyn. Ginas father, William, cannot believe she had intended to leave her daughter with nothing. Besides, his suspicions have already been awakened by the sight of Robyn in intimate conversation with her uncle Tommy: Williams hard-headed businessman son. Tommy and Robyn have barely exchanged a civil word for years. William, an 83 year old widower plagued by loneliness and old age, is nevertheless determined to learn the truth. Spurred on by the lies and deception he meets along the way, he soon begins to make painful discoveries. Ultimately his journey will lead to the revelation of a closely guarded secret at the heart of Kimbles Top itself. Set in the historic market town of Wellingborough, Kimbles Top has a sense of place firmly rooted in the Northamptonshire landscape and recognises that the deepest human dramas are often played out within the ordinary scenes of everyday life.

Download or read book The Philosophy of TV Noir written by Steven Sanders and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-03-17 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film noir reflects the fatalistic themes and visual style of hard-boiled novelists and many émigré filmmakers in 1940s and 1950s America, emphasizing crime, alienation, and moral ambiguity. In The Philosophy of TV Noir, Steven M. Sanders and Aeon J. Skoble argue that the legacy of film noir classics such as The Maltese Falcon, Kiss Me Deadly, and The Big Sleep is also found in episodic television from the mid-1950s to the present. In this first-of-its-kind collection, contributors from philosophy, film studies, and literature raise fundamental questions about the human predicament, giving this unique volume its moral resonance and demonstrating why television noir deserves our attention. The introduction traces the development of TV noir and provides an overview and evaluation of the book's thirteen essays, each of which discusses an exemplary TV noir series. Realism, relativism, and integrity are discussed in essays on Dragnet, Naked City, The Fugitive, and Secret Agent. Existentialist themes of authenticity, nihilism, and the search for life's meaning are addressed in essays on Miami Vice, The Sopranos, Carnivale, and 24. The methods of crime scene investigation in The X-Files and CSI are examined, followed by an exploration of autonomy, selfhood, and interpretation in The Prisoner, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Millennium. With this focus on the philosophical dimensions of crime, espionage, and science fiction series, The Philosophy of TV Noir draws out the full implications of film noir and establishes TV noir as an art form in its own right.

Download or read book Why Arnold Matters written by Michael Blitz and published by . This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After nearly thirty years in the public eye, Arnold Schwarzenegger's rise to fame and fortune--and statesmanship--represents a celebrity the likes of which we've never seen before. As co-authors and longtime collaborators Blitz and Krasniewicz argue in this humorous but heady book, it is not just a matter of his transformation from bodybuilder to megastar to politician. Nor is his governorship of California just a matter of another actor assuming the position. Instead, at the beginning of the 21st century, "Arnoldness" has spread into every corner of our culture. More than a name, more than a spectacular career, he has become a set of ideas--an ultramodern take on the quintessential American dream.Having followed the cult of Arnold for twenty years, Blitz and Krasniewicz are uniquely qualified to illuminate his growing hold on our collective imagination. As an adjective, as a metaphor, as an easy reference point for anyone talking about things tough, forceful, and successful, they'll explain exactly why Arnold matters--and for better or worse, richer or poorer, America may never be the same.
