The Endless Night
As a child, Eugene happily grew up in a large middle-class family with his mother in a rural village while his father worked away in Darjeeling, India. On September 5, 1962, a tragedy struck his family shattering their dreams, their happiness and their life. Eugene was only ten. Consequently, it left him in a dead end, an unknown world completely lost without hope, love, and security. The volatile vulnerability in a boarding house; the aftermath of the famine and the flood as well as the atrocity of war and crossing to India on foot, nearly cost his life. Eugene pledged himself; nothing was going to deter him from achieving his success. With initiative and perseverance, he risked his life and plunged into the unknown. In the process, he went through fire and water yet he believed in his instinct and followed his heart. In the end, Eugene achieved something extraordinary. The Endless Night is not simply a true story about his childhood and young adulthood, it is also about to connect with the young generation, not just teaching them to value life but also helping them to understand why they want to value others. It is a captivating, amusing, adventurous, and inspiring book.
Englishness and Empire 1939-1965
Did loss of imperial power and the end of empire have any significant impact on British culture and identity after 1945? Within a burgeoning literature on national identity and what it means to be British this is a question that has received surprisingly little attention. Englishness and Empire makes an important and original contribution to recent debates about the domestic consequences of the end of empire. Wendy Webster explores popular narratives of nation in the mainstream media archive - newspapers, newsreels, radio, film, and television. The contours of the study generally follow stories told through prolific filmic and television imagery: the Second World War, the Coronation and Ever...

We Shall Be No More
Suicide is a quintessentially individual act, yet one with unexpectedly broad social implications. Though seen today as a private phenomenon, in the uncertain aftermath of the American Revolution this personal act seemed to many to be a public threat that held no less than the fate of the fledgling Republic in its grip. Salacious novelists and eager newspapermen broadcast images of a young nation rapidly destroying itself. Parents, physicians, ministers, and magistrates debated the meaning of self-destruction and whether it could (or should) be prevented. Jailers and justice officials rushed to thwart condemned prisoners who made halters from bedsheets, while abolitionists used slave suicide...
The White Queen

Social Realism
This book presents a radical reappraisal of one of the most persistent and misunderstood aspects of British cinema: social realism. Through means of close textual analysis, David Forrest advances the case that social realism has provided British national culture with a consistent and distinctive art cinema, arguing that a theoretical re-assessment of the mode can enable it to be located within the context of broader traditions of global cinema. The book begins with the documentary movement and British wartime cinema, before moving to the British new wave and social problem cycle; the films of Ken Loach; the films of Mike Leigh; realism in the 1980s, specifically the work of Stephen Frears and Alan Clarke; before concluding with a discussion of contemporary realist cinema, specifically the work of Shane Meadows, Andrea Arnold and other recent exponents of the mode. These case studies give a thorough platform to explore the most prominent and diverse examples of realist practice in Britain over the last 80 years. The construction and critical analysis of this ‘social realist canon’ creates the conditions to reassess and look anew at this most British of cinematic traditions.
