Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Essay, travelogue and novella set in the city of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Essay, travelogue and novella set in the city of Guelph, Ontario, covering the years of hope between leaving the university town for the writing life in Germany and returning years later to a Guelph that has moved on. The 'Paris Syndrome', a term coined by Japanese psychiatrists investigating extreme culture shock, can also describe the pursuit of an idealized world - the mythic homeland of Heinrich Boell - at the cost of losing the real one. The conclusion of the Europe voyage comes in West Berlin, epicentre of the catastrophe of the Second World War. Six years after leaving Guelph one bright winter morning, Guelph in the afternoon is a city of empty rooms, the Bookshelf cafe and cinema, the Albion hotel bar, and the Apollo diner: a few city blocks, no more. In November the Berlin Wall falls, and the author prepares to return to Europe - not to Germany, but onward to Czechoslovakia.An atmospheric story of youth, ambition, disaster, resilience, enduring friendships; and how to move on when love for a woman fails. Hence the 'falling sun' of the title. An atmospheric story of youth, ambition, disaster, resilience, enduring friendships; and how to move on when love for a woman fails.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A literary satire of ambition and celebrity-seeking in a nocturnal underground world of Edwardian nursery-tale characters trampled over by desperately modern detritus and cast-offs all trying to be some kind of somebody.***In the dire twilight of a blazing afternoon, Herbie Peel is born in the kitchen sink of an upmarket farmhouse outside Toronto, with a cool patio out back shaded by an awning propped up in the best traditions of Jamaican sugar plantations.'You're a fantastic writer, but publishing this book in Canada will ruin your career before it even starts. Get on the bestseller lists first.' Janie Yoon, literary agent's assistant, Toronto.Herbie's fall from the mother potato is nothing compared to the shock of hitting the cold steel, which knocks a bit of the starch out of him. As he lies dazed under the trickling tap, orphaned, bruised, and already despised, the last fresh air of the world drifts in from the candlelit patio where tony guests from Toronto talk art, radio and publishing prizes. Washed over by waves of awakenings, young Herbie soaks up big ambitions. Will he be the smartest Prince Edward Red ever, or just another pretentious phoney?'I can't decide if you're a genius or a lunatic.' Chris Labonte, McIntyre & Douglas, Vancouver.After absorbing the last of the hallucinations of the bitterly unfulfilled hunchback, no artist he, who bought the old stone farmhouse for his radical artist-professor partner, formerly known as 'wife', the little peel rushes off into the dark to make it big - and slips straight into the pages of an old book of nursery tales left open on the dewy grass.'What makes this novel so brave and so original is exactly what would make it so difficult to publish.' Judy Clain, Little, Brown, New York. A literary satire of ambition, fraud and culture crash set in an underground world inhabited by Edwardian England nursery tale characters overrun by modern detritus. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: New. Rich in implications for our present era of media change, the Promise of Cinema offers a compelling new vision of film theory. The volume conceives of "theory" not as a fixed body of canonical texts, but as a dynamic set of reflections on the very idea of cinema and the possibilities once associated with it. Unearthing more than 275 early-twentieth-century German texts, this ground-breaking documentation leads readers into a world that was striving to assimilate modernity's most powerful new medium. We encounter lesser-known essays by Bela Balazs, Walter Benjamin, and Siegfried Kracauer alongside interventions from the realms of aesthetics, education, industry, politics, science, and technology. The book also features programmatic writings from the Weimar avant-garde and from directors such as Fritz Lang and F.W. Murnau. Nearly all documents appear in English for the first time; each is meticulously introduced and annotated. The most comprehensive collection of German writings on film published to date, The Promise of Cinema is an essential resource for students and scholars of film and media, critical theory, and European culture and history.
