«I vichinghi godono di un interesse e di un apprezzamento che poche altre culture antiche condividono. Difficile trovare qualcuno che non abbia mai sentito parlare di loro. In soli tre secoli, dal 750 al 1050 d.C. circa, i popoli scandinavi trasformarono il Nord lasciando segni che sono tuttora riconoscibili. Cambiarono la mappa politica e culturale dell'Europa e configurarono assetti commerciali ed economici, fondando insediamenti e provocando conflitti in un'area che, sostanzialmente, si estende dalla costa orientale dell'America del Nord alla steppa asiatica.» In qualità di commercianti, esploratori e colonizzatori, esportarono tecnologie, idee e credenze intrecciando contatti con oltre cinquanta culture diverse e raggiungendo luoghi che oggi appartengono a circa quaranta paesi, da Islanda, Groenlandia, Canada a Turchia, Russia e Iraq. Eppure, questi popoli ci sono stati a lungo presentati attraverso una lente distorta, convenzionalmente compromessa da uno stereotipo legato alle cruente incursioni marittime, ai saccheggi e alle razzie. Attingendo da una pluralità di fonti documentarie e dal vasto patrimonio emerso grazie agli scavi più recenti, Neil Price, docente di archeologia all'Università di Uppsala, presenta per la prima volta un nuovo e affascinante ritratto dei vichinghi. Esplorando i labili confini fra vivi e morti, i riti funebri e la cosmologia, nonché le relazioni fra uomini e spiriti sovrannaturali mediate da streghe e indovini, l'autore traccia un vivido affresco di politica, religione, arte e cultura nordiche spaziando dalla vita quotidiana in pace e in guerra alle gerarchie di potere e ai codici di legge. Delle comunità vichinghe esamina la sfera pubblica e privata, le relazioni di genere, le dinamiche familiari, l'oppressione patriarcale, la violenza efferata e la schiavitù che caratterizzavano una società pur tuttavia convintamente multiculturale e multietnica. Price firma un'opera magistrale su uno dei periodi più affascinanti che ha cambiato per sempre il corso della storia del continente europeo.

Originally published in 1985, fourteen foremost writers of fiction give detailed accounts of their writings in this absorbing collection by John Haffenden, whom The Sunday Times has applauded for having ‘perfected’ the art of the literary interview. Bringing together discussions with a wide range of authors in Britain at the time, the volume contains interviews with Martin Amis, Malcolm Bradbury, Anita Brookner, Angela Carter, William Golding, Russell Hoban, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, Iris Murdoch, V.S. Pritchett, Salman Rushdie, David Storey, Emma Tennant and Fay Weldon. John Haffenden questions them about the creative process, about specific works – including Golding’s Rites of Passage, Hoban’s Riddley Walker, Murdoch’s The Philosopher’s Pupil and Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children and Shame – and about the ideas and visions which inform those works. The writers provide lively, fascinating and often definitive responses which offer many insights into the value and function of fiction. The volume also includes discussions of cultural context and of narrative techniques and kinds – realist, postmodernist, fabulous – offering immediate material for critical debate. For all who are interested in twentieth century fiction it is essential reading.

All histories of Hollywood are wrong. Why? Two words: Colonel Selig. This early pioneer laid the foundation for the movie industry that we know today. Active from 1896 to 1938, William N. Selig was responsible for an amazing series of firsts, including the first two-reel narrative film and the first two-hour narrative feature made in America; the first American movie serial with cliffhanger endings; the first westerns filmed in the West with real cowboys and Indians; the creation of the jungle-adventure genre; the first horror film in America; the first successful American newsreel (made in partnership with William Randolph Hearst); and the first permanent film studio in Los Angeles. Selig was also among the first to cultivate extensive international exhibition of American films, which created a worldwide audience and contributed to American domination of the medium. In this book, Andrew Erish delves into the virtually untouched Selig archive at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Library to tell the fascinating story of this unjustly forgotten film pioneer. He traces Selig’s career from his early work as a traveling magician in the Midwest, to his founding of the first movie studio in Los Angeles in 1909, to his landmark series of innovations that still influence the film industry. As Erish recounts the many accomplishments of the man who first recognized that Southern California is the perfect place for moviemaking, he convincingly demonstrates that while others have been credited with inventing Hollywood, Colonel Selig is actually the one who most deserves that honor.
