Download or read book Hitchcock s Magic written by Neil Badmington and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we still drawn to the work of Alfred Hitchcock so long after his final film appeared? What remains to see? What could there possibly be left to say about tales that are overwhelmingly familiar? Why, moreover, have many of Hitchcock's films entered the popular imagination and enjoyed an eventful life far from the screen? What is the source of Hitchcock's magic? This book answers these questions about the influence and ongoing appeal of Hitchcock's work by focussing upon the fabric of the films themselves, upon the way in which they enlist and sustain our desire, holding our attention by constantly withholding something from us. We keep watching, keep revisiting the stories, because there is always something left to see and know. The book combines detailed textual analysis of a number of Hitchcock's most famous films - Psycho, Rear Window, Rebecca, North by Northwest, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and The Birds - with more general discussion of the director's complete body of work. Drawing upon the poststructuralist theories of Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, it takes issue with the biographical and psychoanalytic approaches that have dominated studies of Hitchcock's films to argue instead for the significance of textuality. Hitchcock's Magic is an innovative, lively, and readable book which challenges critical orthodoxy and breaks new ground in the field.
Download or read book The Coast Road written by Paul Gogarty and published by Portico. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 'Travel Narrative Book of the Year' in 2005 by the British Guild of Travel Writers (BGTW), The Coast Road presents an idiosyncratic and illuminating snapshot of England and what it is to be English today. In this travelogue, award-winning writer Paul Gogarty travels 3,000 miles in a motorhome, exploring intimate coastal communities and ruminating on the future of the English coast. All points of the compass are covered; after an unsettling benediction at Dover's Eastern Docks he travels to Derek Jarman's Dungeness; to rakish Brighton and Madame Rosina's Bournemouth; the mudflats and Arabian sands of the north- west, where he joins a roomful of George Formbys in Blackpool; the now infamous Morcambe Bay; Billy Butlin's Skegness; and a parachuting vicar. The journey comes full circle in the secret creeks of East Anglia. The Coast Road is a warm-hearted tribute to England's coastline written by a romantic spirit who beautifully captures both the idiosyncrasies of the nation and the euphoria of the open road.
Download or read book The Red Toothed Camel written by The Rodeo Cat Helmet and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Toothed Camel was born at sea aboard the State Ship Deliverance, weathering a hurricane. He's a young prince—all boy—who grows into a fine man, in spite of himself and the consequences of his yearly misadventures, which he luckily survives, at least for our behalf. His eventual purpose, you'll see, is to be the catalyst for a social commentary, which Helmet, our author, weaves for your sake and the sake of the Camel's own children. There is a slight blurring between fiction and allegory and humor and satire, but its not meant to confuse; its offered to help you take off your blinders, if you will. The brief narrative herein covers a long, long life, which is but an exaggeration to help the reader find more than the immediate.

Download or read book A Seagull Lunch and Other Nature Poems written by S T Kimbrough and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many poems in this book are simple descriptions of the wonders of nature. Some address the tragedy of nature’s suffering caused by human thoughtlessness and negligence. Others are a response to the magical change of seasons, a cycle that transforms the colors of the earth’s foliage, bringing the advent of animals’ change of habitats, along with hurricanes, monsoons, and other storms. From one season to the next, the earth bears fruit, yields crops, and its meadows bloom. Many of the poems are from real-life experience, while others are products of imagination peaked by nature’s numerous and precious gifts for enjoyment, sustenance, and preservation. Some of these poems offer words of caution about human carelessness in preserving nature and its wonders. Does one ever pause to consider what it would be like without the advent of autumn, or any other season? Yet, the truth is that in some parts of the world seasons are already disappearing. These poems stress that we cannot stand idly by when there is proven scientific evidence that destructive climate change is a reality: disappearance of some island nations, loss of farm land, steady crumbling of glaciers and ice caps, and the demise of sea life. They plead: Save our planet!
