Magic Moments: Life-changing Encounters with Books, Film, Music...

Autor John Sutherland Editat de John Davey
en Limba Engleză Paperback
John Sutherland looks back to the magic of twenty-five experiences of books, films, plays, songs, paintings, landscapes, sounds, tastes and smells which took him by surprise, sank into his memory and shaped his life. What did they mean then, and why later when understood better, did they sometimes mean less? He recaptures the excitement of entering the adventurous worlds of Edgar Wallace, Dennis Wheatley, the Amazing Wilson, the Yellow Peril, and the Tenement Kid. We follow him on his quest to Paris for the illegal fruits of Lady Chatterley's Lover and The 120 Days of Sodom, watch as the enchantments of Huxley, Hoggart and On the Waterfront wither before his colder eye, and with him rediscover the redeeming value of Great Expectations and Montserrat's Cruel Sea. Arranged chronologically and life-dated, John Sutherland's moments are moving, funny and sharply realised. He offers insights into the nature of cultural experience and everyday life of a kind that we will all instantly recognise and share.
