Pride and Prejudice
Le surgissement dans l'univers cinématographique d'un nouveau Pride and Prejudice en 2005 a de quoi surprendre, après le succès remporté en 1995 par l'adaptation télévisée du célèbre roman de Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice (1813). Que va proposer Joe Wright dont il s'agit du premier film ? Une adaptation de deux heures seulement s'avérera-t-elle capable de transmettre la subtilité du texte austenien ? Or, le film, déjà nominé dans quatre catégories aux Oscars, remporte plusieurs prix, récompensant d'une part le travail réussi de l'équipe, prouvant d'autre part combien ce type de production qualifié tour à tour de film historique, film d'époque, costume drama, heritage f...
Joseph Wright and the Final Farewell
This book situates the work of the artist Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) within the context of his life and times. It brings to light fresh information, including evidence of the flute music that Wright played and the ‘graveyard’ genre of poetry that he read. The book argues that Wright is the author of ‘The Final Farewell: a poem written on retiring from London’ (1787). It will be of interest to all admirers of this famously retiring artist. By the same author: The Adventures and Speculations of the Ingenious Peter Perez Burdett.

Stoner
This is the story of a quiet man, destined to be a farmer but who becomes an academic. It is book in which nothing and everything happens and is possibly the greatest novel you've never read. 'It's simply a novel about a guy who goes to college and becomes a teacher. But its one of the most fascinating things that you've ever come across' Tom Hanks, Time William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life. 'A beautiful, sad, utterly convincing account of an entire life' Ian McEwan 'A brilliant, beautiful, inexorably sad, wise and elegant novel' Nick Hornby INTRODUCED BY JOHN McGAHERN
