‘A miracle, an instant classic.’ Slavoj Zizek, philosopher The tragedy is done, the tyrant Macbeth dead. The time is free. But for how long? As Macduff pursues dreams of national revival, smaller lives are seeding. In the ruins of Dunsinane, the Porter tries to keep his three young boys safe from the nightmare of history. In a nunnery deep in Birnam Wood, a girl attempts to forget what she lost in war. Flitting between them, a tortured clairvoyant trembles with the knowledge of what''s to come. A collaboration between two of the world''s most eminent Shakespeare scholars, "Macbeth, Macbeth" is a unique mix of creative fiction and literary criticism that charts a new way of doing both, sparking a whole new world from the embers of Shakespeare''s original tragedy. ”Macbeth, Macbeth” weaves a thread that enrichens the original classic with the manic energy of Tristram Shandy, the grim intensity of Crime and Punishment, and the existential absurdity of Waiting for Godot. ''A thrilling re-imagination of Shakespeare’s darkest play.'' Lucy Bailey, theatre director‘Shakespeare, I suspect, would have been delighted.’ Don Paterson, poet

Romeo and Juliet is routinely called “the world’s greatest love story”, as though it is all about romance. The play features some of the most lyrical passages in all of drama, and the lovers are young, beautiful, and ardent. But when we look at the play, the lyricism and the romance are not really what drive things along. It is true that Romeo, especially early on in the play, acts like a young man determined to take his place in an immortal tale of love. Everything he says is romantic – but rather like an anniversary card is romantic. His words propel nothing, or nothing but sarcastic admonitions from his friends to forget about love and to treat women as they should be treated, with careless physical appetite. The world we have entered is rapacious more than romantic. Everyone knows something of this, from the film versions of the story if nothing else. Romeo and Juliet must fight for their love inside a culture of stupid hatreds. But it is not a simple case of love versus war, or the city against the couple. If it were, it would nicely reinforce clichés about true love, fighting against the odds. In ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Dance showcases Sean Palfrey’s creative vision in a beautiful suite of images drawn from his photographic archive, each of them accompanied by poetic reflections on the very idea of dance. What presents itself to our minds when we hear the word ‘dance’? Movement, music and rhythm, of course. The jitterbug and the slow waltz. But what if we go beyond the obvious? Dance, the fourth volume in Sean Palfrey’s photography series, seeks to expand our conception of dance and to find and celebrate its presence in the world around us: in the graceful shape of a flower or leaf, in the elegant cursive of a spiral staircase, and in the joyfully uplifted arm of the newlywed. Palfrey is a renowned paediatrician and child health advocate who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places and stories informs both his artistic and his professional practice. In Dance, Palfrey has curated a beguiling set of pictures and poetic texts that riff on movement and stillness, rhythm and flow, and the poetry of the curve.

‘This book is an act of defiance: an attempt to cling to clarity, coherence and communication as my mind and body are overtaken by aggressive brain cancer. It is also an expression of gratitude, conveying my dependence on those who have shown me how to live – peacefully and honestly – with terminal illness.’When Ewan Bowlby was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 17, he tackled the consequences head on. During the following, final decade of his life he recorded his experiences and searched for ways of approaching mortality with greater clarity, honesty and creativity than is found in contemporary healthcare.Ewan discovered the power of culture – as diverse as Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and Dante’s Divine Comedy, John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and recent television dramas Breaking Bad and Cold Feet – to enable those confronting death and disease to map their own situations. Adopting Arthur Frank’s concept of ‘borrowed stories’, Ewan challenged the received wisdom that Western society is in ‘denial of death’; in fact, great works of culture can help people to find meaning and self-expression, even comfort and support.This remarkable book comprises two parts.

Macbeth may well be the most terrifying play in the English language, but it hasn’t always been seen that way. It has divided critics more deeply than any other Shakespearian tragedy – and the argument, in essence, has been about just how terrifying the play really is and about how we should react, or do react, to Macbeth himself. No Shakespearian tragedy gives as much attention to its hero as Macbeth. With the exception of Lady Macbeth, there is much less emphasis on the figures round the hero than there is in Hamlet or Othello. Unlike King Lear, with its parallel story of Gloucester and his sons, Macbeth has no sub-plot. And its imagery of sharp contrasts – of day and night, light and dark, innocent life and murder – adds to the almost claustrophobic intensity of this most intense of plays. So why are critics so divided about Macbeth? Why is it so disturbing? Why do we feel compelled to admire its hero even as we condemn him? How reassuring is the last scene, when Macbeth is killed and Malcolm becomes king? Do we see this as the intervention of a divine providence, a restoration of goodness after all ...

London was alive with an interest in all things Scottish, and Shakespeare turned to Scottish history for material. He found a spectacle of violence and stories of traitors advised by witches and wizards, echoing James’s belief in a connection between treason and witchcraft. In depicting a man who murders to become king, Macbeth teases us with huge questions. Is Macbeth tempted by fate, or by his or his wife’s ambition? Why does their success turn to ashes? Like other plays, Macbeth speaks to each generation. Its story was once seen as that of a hero who commits an evil act and pays an enormous price. Recently, it has been applied to nations that overreach themselves and to modern alienation.

After their fantastic trip round the world in 2004, fellow actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn''t shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF visit to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this extraordinary continent in more depth. And so they set off on their 15,000-mile journey with two new BMWs loaded up for the trip. Joining up with producer/directors Russ Malkin and David Alexanian and the Long Way Round team, their route took them from John O''Groats at the northernmost tip of Scotland to Cape Agulhas on the southernmost tip of South Africa. Riding through spectacular scenery, often in extreme temperatures, Ewan and Charley faced their hardest challenges yet. With their trademark humour and honesty they tell their story - the drama, the dangers and the sheer exhilaration of riding together again, through a continent filled with magic and wonder.

Kniha - autor Bedřich Smetana, česky Skladba Macbeth (známá též jako Macbeth a čarodějnice) vznikla jako klavírní skica podle vstupního výjevu 4. dějství Shakespearovy tragédie v roce 1859 během skladatelova pobytu ve Švédsku, a patrně měla být instrumentována pro orchestr. Temně pochmurná nálada skladby souvisí také se smrtí Smetanovy manželky Kateřiny (19. dubna 1859). Poprvé vyšel Macbeth tiskem až v roce 1912. Skladba se později ujala jako klavírní kus a byla také instrumentována Jarmilem Burghauserem. Nové urtextové vydání vychází z jediného dochovaného pramene, Smetanovy skici tužkou. Editorka do notového textu doplnila jen posuvky a (výjimečně) ligaturové obloučky. Chybějící pauzy a rytmické „nekorektnosti“ jsou ponechány podle autografu.
