The definitive biography of Daphne Du Maurier, one of history''s greatest psychological thriller novelistsRebecca, published in 1938, brought its author instant international acclaim, capturing the popular imagination with its haunting atmosphere of suspense and mystery. Du Maurier was immediately established as the queen of the psychological thriller. But the more fame this and her other books encouraged, the more reclusive Daphne du Maurier became.Margaret Forster''s award-winning biography could hardly be more worthy of its subject. Drawing on private letters and papers, and with the unflinching co-operation of Daphne du Maurier''s family, Margaret Forster explores the secret drama of her life - the stifling relationship with her father, actor-manager Gerald du Maurier; her troubled marriage to war hero and royal aide, ''Boy'' Browning; her wartime love affair; her passion for Cornwall and her deep friendships with the last of her father''s actress loves, Gertrude Lawrence, and with an aristocratic American woman.Most significant of all, Margaret Forster ingeniously strips away the relaxed and charming facade to lay bare the true workings of a complex and emotional character whose passionate and often violent stories mirrored her own fantasy life more than anyone could ever have imagined.

Celebrated novelist Daphne Du Maurier and her sisters, eclipsed by her fame, are revealed in all their surprising complexity in this riveting new biography.The middle sister in a famous artistic dynasty, Daphne du Maurier is one of the master storytellers of our time, author of ‘Rebecca’, ‘Jamaica Inn’ and ‘My Cousin Rachel’, and short stories, ‘Don’t Look Now’ and the terrifying ‘The Birds’ among many. Her stories were made memorable by the iconic films they inspired, three of them classic Hitchcock chillers. But it was her sisters, writer Angela and artist Jeanne,who found the courage to defy the conventions that hampered Daphne’s emotional life.In this group biography they are considered side by side, as they were in life, three sisters who grew up during the 20th century in the glamorous hothouse of a theatrical family dominated by a charismatic and powerful father. This family dynamic reveals the hidden world of the three sisters – Piffy, Bird & Bing, as they were known to each other – full of social non-conformity, love, rivalry and compulsive make-believe, their lives as psychologically complex as a Daphne du Maurier novel.

One of the great international bestsellers, Rebecca also inspired a film, a play and television dramas. This perfect companion volume, The Rebecca Notebook, outlines just how Rebecca came to be written, tracing its origins, developments and the directions it might have taken. The author reveals how she first came upon the secret house, hidden deep in the Cornish woodland, that was to become the romantic setting for her most famous novel: a house which stood derelict, and which she lovingly restored to create her own home. The accompanying Memories introduce other members of her family: her father Gerald, the famous actor; her grandfather George, whose Punch drawings made him world famous; and her cousins, for whom J. M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan.

Sometimes I think that my brain cannot hold together, it is filled with too much horror - too much despair . . . I cannot sleep, I cannot close my eyes without seeing his damned face.

In these tales of human frailty and obsession, a waterlogged notebook washes ashore, revealing a dark story of jealousy and passion; a vicar coaches a young couple divided by class issues and an older man falls perilously in love with a much younger woman. Each tale demonstrates du Maurier''s extraordinary storytelling gifts and her deep understanding of human nature.

Audiokniha: „Jsou ženy, které ne vlastní vinou přivolávají neštěstí…" Píše se rok 1830. Po náhlé smrti bratrance Ambrože, jenž mu byl opatrovníkem i rádcem, je čtyřiadvacetiletý Filip Ashley na cornwallské panství sám. I když ne docela. Zakrátko z daleké Florencie přicestuje poloviční Italka, se kterou se jeho vychovatel před osudnou nemocí narychlo oženil, a prosí o podporu, jelikož jí v postavení nezaopatřené vdovy nic jiného nezbývá. Svědomí Filipovi velí příbuzné pomoct, byť se mu ani trochu nechce. Během osmi měsíců zbývajících do jeho právní zletilosti se však mladíkův vztah k sestřence Rachel změní. Samotářský hoch, pobývající až dosud v izolaci od nástrah velkého světa, předvede veletoč a projeví až pošetilou vášeň k vdově, jejíž způsoby se tolik liší od upjatosti slečen ze sousedství. Jsou však ženy, jež přinášejí jen smůlu. Co když je to prostě tak, že city z Racheliny strany jsou povýtce zištné – neměl by se tudíž zamilovaný kolísající Filip radši řídit radami zesnulého Ambrože, který se ho v posledních dopisech snažil varovat? A proč italský právník tak podezřele tlačí na spěšné vyrovnání?

Four popular novelists of the same generation each wrote a novel inspired by a holiday that the author spent in France. In the nineteen-fifties, Rumer Godden based The Greengage Summer on her recollections of her family’s 1923 battlefield-tour manqué in the Champagne region. Margery Sharp’s 1936 holiday in Southern France led to ‘Still Waters’ and The Nutmeg Tree: both the short story and the novel are set in and around the region of Aix-les-Bains. In 1955, Daphne Du Maurier first visited the department of Sarthe to research French family history; the novel The Scapegoat was the immediate result of the holiday. And in 1966, Stella Gibbons’ last trip to the continent took the form of a visit to an old friend in her summer home near Grenoble. The stay is obliquely reflected in The Snow-Woman, in which a similar holiday leads a never-married septuagenarian to experience a renaissance of sorts.

''You shall see nothing, hear nothing, think of nothing but Svengali, Svengali, Svengali!'' First published in 1894, the story of the diva Trilby O''Ferrall and her mesmeric mentor, Svengali, has entered the mythology of the time alongside Dracula and Sherlock Holmes. Immensely popular for a number of years, the novel led to a hit play, a series of popular films, and the trilby hat. The setting of the story reflects the author''s bohemian years as an art student in Paris; indeed James McNeill Whistler was to recognize himself in one of the early serialized instalments. George Du Maurier was a celebrated caricaturist for Punch magazine and his drawings for the novel form part of its appeal - this edition includes his most significant illustrations. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

In the Latin Quarter of Paris, Trilby O''Ferrall - graceful, charming and innocent - is working as an artist''s model. Her ingenuous nature makes her the perfect prey for the cruel magnetism of the demonic musician Svengali, under whose spell she falls. Using hypnotic powers Svengali shapes her into a virtuoso singer and soon she becomes Europe''s most captivating soprano. But her golden voice, and even her life, will become fatally tied to him. With its thrilling plot and legendary villain, Trilby caused a sensation when it appeared in 1894, spawning songs, shoes and, most famously, the Trilby hat. Yet it is also a fascinating portrayal of its times, holding up a mirror to fin de siècle obsessions with sexuality, mesmerism and the occult.

Až do 19. století byl čas obvykle vnímán jako kontinuální proud, živel, jehož plynutí prakticky nedokážeme ovlivnit. Nástup kapitalistické modernity spojený s jeho racionalizací a vynález fotografie, která jej dokázala zastavit, však radikálně proměnily způsob, jakým se k času vztahujeme. Mary Ann Doaneová, profesorka Kalifornské univerzity v Berkeley a autorka průkopnických studií věnovaných problematice genderu ve filmu, v knize Zrození kinematografického času zkoumá, jak se nahodilost zmrzlého okamžiku zachyceného fotografickým aparátem vzpírá vzrůstajícím požadavkům na standardizaci a racionalizaci života v kapitalistické společnosti. Jediná fotografie však nedokáže zachytit pohyb, teprve film jako souslednost po sobě následujících snímků znovu ustavuje ireverzibilní tok času. Jaká je ale povaha času, pokud jej chápeme zároveň jako proud i jako diskontinuální, kvantovanou veličinu? A co se odehrává v prostoru mezi jednotlivými snímky? Mary Ann Doaneová nám přesvědčivým způsobem představuje klíčovou roli, kterou kinematografický čas sehrál při zrodu modernity.

Píše se rok 1816.Mary Shelleyové je teprve osmnáct let, když se svým milovaným manželem Percym navštíví u Ženevského jezera přátele Johna Polidoriho a lorda Byrona. Večer si u krbu vyprávějí strašidelné příběhy. Střípek z minulosti Mary vrátí o několik let zpátky do Skotska, kde zažila záhadné dobrodružství. Tato vzpomínka se stane základem světoznámého příběhu o Frankensteinovi.Mary je chvalozpěvem na fantazii, je příběhem o tvoření a složitém poutu mezi představivostí a skutečností. Knihu lze číst jako bildungsroman popisujíci zrání Mary coby spisovatelky a matky, jako intimní vyprávění o truchlení po nejbližších, ale také jako staromódní duchařský příběh nebo příběh dvojího milostného trojuhelníku. Mary je zkrátka dokonale dávkovaná směs žánrů.Anne Eekhout si odvážně pohrává s žánrovými prvky, které by se u méně nadaných autorů okamžitě změnily v klišé. Díky autorčinu strhujícímu vyprávění čtenáři před očima ožívá mladičká tvůrkyně mistrovského díla o nyní již nejznámějším netvorovi všech dob.

This book examines the involvement of African American artists in the New Deal art programs of the 1930s. Emphasizing broader issues informed by the uniqueness of Black experience rather than individual artists’ works, Mary Ann Calo makes the case that the revolutionary vision of these federal art projects is best understood in the context of access to opportunity, mediated by the reality of racial segregation. Focusing primarily on the Federal Art Project (FAP) of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Calo documents African American artists’ participation in community art centers in Harlem, in St. Louis, and throughout the South. She examines the internal workings of the Harlem Artists’ Guild, the Guild’s activities during the 1930s, and its alliances with other groups, such as the Artists’ Union and the National Negro Congress. Calo also explores African American artists’ representation in the exhibitions sponsored by WPA administrators and the critical reception of their work. In doing so, she elucidates the evolving meanings of the terms race, culture, and community in the interwar era. The book concludes with an essay by Jacqueline Francis on Black artists in the early 1940s, after the end of the FAP program. Presenting essential new archival information and important ...

Bradt’s newly published Catalunya & Barcelona has the most extensive coverage of any travel guidebook to the whole of this fiercely independent region (both French and Spanish sides), which is proud of its strong identity and packs a huge amount of fascination and contrast into a conveniently small area – from the Pyrenees mountains and sparkling Mediterranean coves to crisp cava and world-renowned cuisine. Although Barcelona, with its Gaudí architecture, may be the best-known destination, the rest of Catalunya generates the identity of which local residents are so proud. Although officially a semi-autonomous comunidad, Catalunya feels like a separate country – as arguably befits its history as a medieval kingdom that ruled parts of southernmost France, the Balearics and even what is now the Italian island of Sardinia. Written by long-time travel authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, and Mary-Ann Gallagher, who has lived in Barcelona since the mid-2000s, Bradt’s new guidebook furnishes detailed background and practical information in eight easy-to-follow chapters, providing in-depth guides to Barcelona plus the provincial capitals of Girona, Tarragon and Lleida, alongside sections covering the Costa Brava (where charming fishing villages and isolated beaches offset mass-tourism resorts), the Pyrenees (including Andorra) and French Catalunya (including ...

They placed their own orders, exploring Grima’s drizzled gold and Flockinger’s fused metallic experimentations; John Donald’s textured gold cubes and the House of Munsteiner’s curious new gem cuts. This was an era of innovation – captured here through insights into the work of 25 major jewellers and sumptuous pictures of their work.This book introduces the most influential British designers, jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths of 1960-1980.
