Download or read book The Strange Case of Dr Simmonds Dr Glas written by Dannie Abse and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 2002 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dr. Simmonds, a well-established general practitioner in London's Swiss Cottage, finds himself ministering more and more in the postwar 1950s to the ills of the Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who have settled thickly in his old neighborhood. He also finds himself irresistibly drawn into an increasingly troubling fantasy life by Yvonne Bloomberg, the attractive young wife of one of his more, to him, execrable patients." "Repelled as he is by Anton Bloomberg's "running nose, his wheezing chest, the rust in his pelvis, the Christmas alcohol in his liver, the Scrooge in his soul," Simmonds can imagine only the repugnance the pretty, vulnerable Yvonne must feel at her husband's proprietary touch. It's when she sends Simmonds a copy of Dr. Glas, a novel about a doctor who colludes with a patient in the murder of her spouse, that the boundaries between reality and fantasy begin to blur, and Simmonds begins to act upon impulses rising from a darker, undoctorly side of his nature." "Blind to the prejudices that blind him, Simmonds unwittingly reveals in the disquieting pages of his journals the rancor he harbors in his soul as he sets out on a course that withholds its full horror until the very end."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book The Poetics of Crime written by Michael Hviid Jacobsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poetics of Crime provides an invitation to reconsider and reimagine how criminological knowledge may be creatively and poetically constructed, obtained, corroborated and applied. Departing from the conventional understanding of criminology as a discipline concerned with refined statistical analyses, survey methods and quantitative measurements, this book shows that criminology can - and indeed should - move beyond such confines to seek sources of insight, information and knowledge in the unexplored corners of poetically and creatively inspired approaches and methodologies. With chapters illustrating the ways in which criminologists and other researchers or practitioners working on crime-related questions can find inspiration in a variety of unconventional materials, writing styles and analytical strategies, The Poetics of Crime offers studies of police photography, classic and contemporary literature, silver screen movies, performative dance enactments and media images. As such, this volume opens up the field of criminological research to alternative and novel sources of knowledge about crime, its perpetrators and victims, authorities, motives and justice. It will therefore appeal not only to sociologists, social theorists and criminologists, but to scholars across disciplines with interests in crime, deviance and innovative approaches to social research.

Download or read book Under Cover written by Jeremy Robson and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an independent publisher, Jeremy Robson always punched above his weight with a roster of authors that have been the envy of many large publishers. As a poet, he has been at the centre of the poetry scene since the 1960s, with a number of highly praised volumes to his credit and the friendship of many leading poets and musicians. In this engrossing memoir, Robson looks back at both his publishing career and life as a poet. Stories abound; whether it be driving Muhammad Ali around Britain, coping with Michael Winner or working in the desert with David Ben-Gurion. Time spent joyously laughing with Maureen Lipman and Alan Coren while undertaking an exciting poetry reading tour with Ted Hughes, and packing the Royal Festival Hall for a historic poetry and jazz concert. Jeremy recounts treasured and life-long friendships with the poets and writers; Dannie Abse, Alan Sillitoe, Vernon Scannell, Laurie Lee, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Elie Wiesel and Frederic Raphael. Well known and celebrated as both publisher and poet, Jeremy Robson has produced a delicious memoir that will delight the reader.
