Gregory Award, the Somerset Maugham Award and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. ''His words give us the soil-reek of Ireland, the colourful violence of his childhood on a farm in Derry. The full-blooded energy of these poems makes Death of a Naturalist the best first book of poems I''ve read for some time.'' - C.B. Cox in the Spectator ''The power and precision of his best poems are a delight, and as a first collection Death of a Naturalist is outstanding [...] His subject is those things which are inherent or inherited. What he praises is to be praised in his own work.'' - Christopher Ricks, New Statesman ''Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime, To stare big-eyed Narcissus, into some springIs beneath all adult dignity. I rhymeTo see myself, to set the darkness echoing.''

The Magic Box - Rob Young - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Magic Box - Rob Young - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A LOUDER THAN WAR BOOK OF THE YEAR A riveting journey into the psyche of Britain through its golden age of television and film; a cross-genre feast of moving pictures, from classics to occult hidden gems, The Magic Box is the nation’s visual self-portrait in technicolour detail. ''The definition of gripping. Truly, a trove of wyrd treasures.'' BENJAMIN MYERS ''A lovingly researched history of British TV [that] recalls the brilliant, the bizarre and the unworldly.'' GUARDIAN ''A reclamation, not just of a visual ''golden age'', but of Britain as a darkly magical place.'' THE SPECTATOR ''A feat of argument, description and affection.'' FINANCIAL TIMES ''Young unearths the ghosts of TV past – and Britain''s dark psyche.'' HERALD ''Highly entertaining . . . [A] fabulous treasure trove.'' SCOTSMAN ''Young is a phenomonal scholar.'' OBSERVER ''Impassioned.'' THE CRITIC Growing up in the 1970s, Rob Young’s main storyteller was the wooden box with the glass window in the corner of the family living room, otherwise known as the TV set. Before the age of DVDs and Blu-ray discs, YouTube and commercial streaming services, watching television was a vastly different experience. You switched on, you sat back and you watched. There was no pause or fast-forward button.The cross-genre feast of moving pictures produced in Britain between the late 1950s and late 1980s – from Quatermass and Tom Jones to The Wicker Man and Brideshead Revisited , from A Canterbury Tale and The Go-Between to Bagpuss and Children of the Stones , and from John Betjeman’s travelogues to ghost stories at Christmas – contributed to a national conversation and collective memory. British-made sci-fi, folk horror, period drama and televisual grand tours played out tensions between the past and the present, dramatised the fractures and injustices in society and acted as a portal for magical and ghostly visions.In The Magic Box , Rob Young takes us on a fascinating journey into this influential golden age of screen and discovers what it reveals about the nature and character of Britain, its uncategorisable people and buried histories – and how its presence can still be felt on screen in the twenty-first century.''[A] forensic dissection . . . this tightly packed treatise takes pains to illustrate how what we view affects how we view ourselves.''

Emeric Pressburger: Life and Death of a Screenwriter - Kevin Macdonald - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Emeric Pressburger: Life and Death of a Screenwriter - Kevin Macdonald - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A Hungarian Jew who lived and worked in half a dozen European countries before arriving in Britain in 1935, Pressburger''s reputation rests on the series of strikingly original films he made in collaboration with Michael Powell under the banner of The Archers. The Red Shoes , A Matter of Life and Death , Black Narcissus and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp all bear the unique credit ''Written, Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger''.Frequently controversial, always experimental, The Archers suffered a long period of neglect before being rediscovered by such prominent admirers as Martin Scorsese, Derek Jarman and Francis Ford Coppola.Written by his grandson, and containing extracts from private diaries and correspondence, this biography defends the notion of film as a collaborative art and illuminates the adventurous life and work of the film-maker who brought continental grace, with and style to British cinema.

Notes on the Death of Culture - Mario Vargas Llosa - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

‘The most approachable and exhilarating Latin American writer of our times.’ Robert McCrum, Observer In the past, culture was a kind of vital consciousness that constantly rejuvenated and revivified everyday reality. Now it is largely a mechanism of distraction and entertainment. From one of the world’s great literary intelligences, Notes on the Death of Culture is an examination and indictment of this transformation – an impassioned and essential critique of our time, with essays on the disappearance of eroticism, on culture politics and power, and the frivolity and banality of entertainment in Western culture.

The Death of King Arthur - Simon Armitage - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Death of King Arthur - Simon Armitage - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

By the Poet Laureate The Alliterative Morte Arthure - the title given to a four-thousand line poem written sometime around 1400 - was part of a medieval Arthurian revival which produced such masterpieces as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malory''s prose Morte D''Arthur . The Death of King Arthur deals in the cut-and-thrust of warfare and politics: the ever-topical matter of Britain''s relationship with continental Europe, and of its military interests overseas. Simon Armitage is already the master of this alliterative music, as his earlier version of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2006) so resourcefully and exuberantly showed. His new translation restores a neglected masterpiece of story-telling, by bringing vividly to life its entirely medieval mix of ruthlessness and restraint.

Birth School Metallica Death - Paul Brannigan - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Metallica have sold in excess of 100 million albums and won seven Grammys. Their journey from scuzzy Los Angeles garages to the stages of the world''s biggest stadia has been an epic and often traumatic one, and one of the few truly great rock ''n'' roll sagas. No music writers have been afforded greater access to Metallica over the years than Paul Brannigan and Ian Winwood, two former editors of Kerrang. Having conducted hundreds of hours of interviews with the band, they have between them gained an unparalleled knowledge of the group''s history and an insiders'' view of how their story has developed: they have ridden in the band''s limos, flown on their private jet, joined them in the studio, been invited to the quartet''s ''HQ'' outside San Francisco and shared beers and stories with them in venues across the globe. There are countless memorable stories about the band never before seen in print, tales of bed-hopping and drug-taking and car-crashes and fist-fights and back-stabbing that occur when you mix testosterone and adrenaline, alcohol and egomania, talent and raw ambition.Perceptive, emotionally attached, and intellectually rigorous, Birth, School, Metallica, Death will be the essential and definitive story of this extraordinary band. Volume I takes us from the band''s inception through to the recording and eve of release of their seminal, self-titled, 1991 album.
