dracula s cinematic psychohistory steven j walden

Dracula is a recognized, resilient and recurrent cultural property. He is idolized, loved, vilified and hated as a multifaceted, perennial narrative focus that involves the interplay between film-as-art and its psychosocial milieu. Dracula''s movies can thus be read as a cultural barometer, reflecting the culture we create and re-create in his many cinematic guises: an object of attraction and terror, antihero and villain, lover and monster, even victim and stooge. This book follows Dracula''s cinematic journey, exploring how he continues to tap into the ever-changing collective psyche of his viewers. Many of those viewers may have entertained the thought that the fearful bite of the vampire might just be a worthwhile price to pay for the empowerment of being one.

`The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation'' In 1845 Henry David Thoreau left his home town of Concord, Massachusetts to begin a new life alone, in a rough hut he built himself a mile and a half away on the north-west shore of Walden Pond. Walden is Thoreau''s classic autobiographical account of this experiment in solitary living, his refusal to play by the rules of hard work and the accumulation of wealth and above all the freedom it gave him to adapt his living to the natural world around him. This new edition of Walden traces the sources of Thoreau''s reading and thinking and considers the author in the context of his birthplace and his sense of its history - social, economic and natural. In addition, an ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the myriad plants and animals to which Thoreau gave increasingly close attention as he became acclimatized to his life in the woods by Walden Pond.

Dracula: Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated.It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism. Dracula's Guest & Other Stories: Edited and Introduced by David Stuart Davies.

Audiokniha: Americký filozof a básník Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) je považován za zakladatele přírodního eseje v moderní světové literatuře. V letech 1845-1847 se dobrovolně nastěhoval do osamělé lesní chaty, kterou si postavil na břehu jezera Walden v americkém státě Massachusetts - a po sedmi letech pak vydal o tomto svém pobytu svědectví v podobě pozoruhodné knihy Walden aneb Život v lesích. Nejsou to však útržkovité deníkové zápisy pozorování přírody nebo záznamy osobních pocitů a dojmů; jde o výjimečnou duchovní autobiografii s promyšlenou kompozicí"Člověk je tím bohatší, čím méně má věcí, o které se musí starat. Šel jsem do lesů, poněvadž jsem chtěl žít uvážlivě, utkat se s podstatou života. Nechtěl jsem žít tím, co není život, vždyť žití je cosi tak vzácného, a nechtěl jsem žít odevzdaně - to jen kdyby nic jiného nezbývalo. Přál jsem si žít všemi smysly a zcela vysát morek života, žít tak zásadově a spartánsky, abych se odpoutal od všeho, co není život."

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau moved into a cabin in the woods at Walden Pond to record a philosophical experiment in living: to simplify his life, to support himself entirely by his own labor, and to draw spiritual sustenance from his surroundings. The result: Walden: Or, Life in the Woods (1854). In 1846, Thoreau refused to pay a mandated poll tax, refusing to support a government that protected slavery and had launched an aggressive war against Mexico. In his essay “Civil Disobedience,” Thoreau argues that it is the duty of every citizen to disobey immoral laws—and willingly suffer the legal consequences for doing so.

„Temné síly představují jeden z největších objevů v dlouhé historii draculovského příběhu...“ píše ve své předmluvě John E. Browning, expert v oblasti hororového a upírského žánru.Jedná se o unikátní verzi mistrovského krvavého díla Brama Stokera, která vyšla v roce 1899 ve Švédsku. Je to kniha dvojnásobného rozsahu než klasický román z roku 1897 a také podstatně víc nabitá erotikou i násilím. Není pochyb o tom, že se Bram Stoker na vzniku Temných sil podílel, ať už vědomě, či nevědomě.Setkáváme se zde se spoustou postav a motivů, které najdeme ve Stokerových poznámkách k Draculovi, z konečné verze je však autor vyškrtl. Literární vědci se shodují na tom, že Temné síly vycházejí z rané verze klasického Draculy. Následně byl román v podstatně zkrácené podobně přeložen do islandštiny, originál je však toto!Milovníci Draculy i noví čtenáři dostávají do rukou značně odlišný příběh se zcela novým koncem. Hrabě Dracula nehodlá pouze rozšířit upíří krev do celého světa, ale v rámci spiknutí se světovými mocnáři chystá nastolení fašistického světového řádu spjatého s uctíváním pohanských bohů při krvavých obřadech.A po draculovském hradu v Karpatech se prochází Bílá paní, neodolatelná kráska, která se svými polibky pokouší vlákat advokátního koncipienta Tomase Harkera do tenat zkázy.
