Download or read book They Knew Mr Knight written by Dorothy Whipple and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Book Society Choice, shortlisted for the Femina-Vie Heureuse Prize, the second Dorothy Whipple novel we publish is also wonderfully well-written in a clear and straightforward style; yet 'this real treat' ("Sunday Telegraph") is far more subtle than it at first appears. The Blakes are an ordinary family: Celia looks after the house and Thomas works at the family engineering business in Leicester. The book begins when he meets Mr Knight, a financier as crooked as any on the front pages of our newspapers nowadays; and tracks his and his family's swift climb and fall.Part of the cause of the ensuing tragedy is Celia's innocence - blinkered by domesticity, she and her children are the 'victim of the turbulence of the outside world' (Postscript); but finally, through 'quiet tenacity and the refusal to let go of certain precious things, goodness does win out' (Afterword). And the "TLS" wrote: 'The portraits in the book are fired by Mrs Whipple's article of faith - the supreme importance of people.'

Download or read book Realism and Tinsel written by Robert Murphy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With themes ranging from passion and romance to murder and psychological disturbance, popular British film in the 1940s found little favour with the critics, but provided thrills and entertainment for millions of people during a time of austerity and danger. Realism and Tinsel looks beyond the established histories of Ealing Comedies and realist classics to excavate a rich but neglected tradition of melodrama, gangster films, morbid thrillers, and costume pictures. Discussing cinema in the context of the major social, economic, and political changes that were taking place, Robert Murphy examines the period's most popular films, including Madonna of the Seven Moons, The Way Ahead, and The Wicked Lady. The picture that emerges challenges the reassuring, cosy view of Britain presented in realist cinema, and throws new light on the British film industry of the time, and on our idea of the war era itself.

Book excerpt: These five novels in the Knight and Devlin series prove the Perry Mason spirit is alive and well Michael Knight and Lex Devlin are law partners—Michael the junior and Lex the senior. Michael brings his raw passion, bottomless energy, and a no-holds-barred aggressiveness; Lex provides his revered reputation and experience and the not-so-occasional help of his buddies, the Boston Police Commissioner and the Archbishop of the Boston. From Boston's Chinatown and the brutal Tongs in Neon Dragon to international stolen art in Frame-Up, to the warring Boston Irish Mob and Italian Mafia in Black Diamond, to the diamond trade in Sierra Leone in Deadly Diamonds, and to the Amazon rainforest's exotic animals in Fatal Odds, Knight and Devlin are relentless in their pursuit of truth and justice. Dobbyn is a master of the game—legal thrillers that are topical and timeless
