The Tertiary, Quandary and Quintessential Phases. The remaining books in Douglas Adams' 'Hitchhiker's' masterpiece as finally dramatised for radio, where it all began. Twenty-five years after the original radio series of 'Hitchhiker's' exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero Arthur Dent have been adapted for radio by Dirk Maggs, in part using drafts written by Adams before his death. These scripts brilliantly bring to life the last three books in Adams' perennially popular "Hitchhiker" series: 'Life, The Universe And Everything'; 'So Long And Thanks For All The Fish' and 'Mostly Harmless'. Notes from Dirk Maggs highlight Adams' original material and explain how the cast, special effects and music were directed. The scripts also include a foreword by Simon Jones, who played Arthur Dent in both the original and recent radio series, as well as in 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' television series. These scripts exemplify the... Views: 56
The period 1820-1950, from Lamartine to Char, is a particularly rich field for students and lovers of poetry. While this anthology contains, of course, generous selections from the established giants - Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Valéry, Apollinaire, Michaux - it also draws attention to interesting 'minor' poets, such as Claudel or Cendrars, whose writing has been vital to the evolution of poetry in France. William Rees gives us an introduction to each poet, his or her life, affinities and aesthetics, and the significant literary movements - Romanticism, the Parnassian Movement, Symbolism, Cubism, Surrealism and 'Négritude' - are signposted and discussed. His fresh and beautiful prose translations will re-open many half-forgotten doors, and stimulate new enthusiasms. Views: 56
