Quando all'aeroporto di Heathrow scoppia una bomba, lo psicologo David Markham pensa che sia un atto casuale di violenza insensata. Ma quando scopre che tra le vittime c'è anche la sua ex moglie Laura, decide di condurre una sua indagine. Seguendo le piste della polizia, si infiltra in un gruppo di cospiratori che ha la propria base a Chelsea Marina, un confortevole quartiere di Londra sulle sponde del Tamigi. Lo scopo del movimento, guidato dal carismatico Robert Gould, sembra essere quello di sollevare la docile middle class, per liberarla da una condizione che, in nome del consumismo, del benessere e della responsabilità civica, toglie ogni significato all'esistenza. Mentre cerca la verità che si nasconde dietro l'attentato, David cade inesorabilmente in una spirale che sconvolge la sua vita. Intanto vacillano le certezze della pacifica società inglese e un panico incontrollabile si insinua in tutta la città.‟Era in atto una piccola rivoluzione, così discreta e perbene che non se n'era accorto quasi nessuno.”

J. G. Ballard once declared that the most truly alien planet is Earth and in his science fiction he abandoned the traditional imagery of rocket ships traveling to distant galaxies to address the otherworldliness of this world. The Empires of J. G. Ballard is the first extensive study of Ballard's critical vision of nation and empire, of the political geography of this planet. Paddy examines how Ballard s self-perceived status as an outsider and exile, the Sheppertonian from Shanghai, generated an outlook that celebrated worldliness and condemned parochialism. This book brings to light how Ballard wrestled with notions of national identity and speculated upon the social and psychological implications of the post-war transformation of older models of empire into new imperialisms of consumerism and globalization. Presenting analyses of Ballard s full body of work with its tales of reverse colonization, psychological imperialism, the savagery of civilization, estranged Englishmen abroad and at home, and multinational communities built on crime, The Empires of J. G. Ballard offers a fresh perspective on the fiction of J. G. Ballard. The Empires of J.G. Ballard: An Imagined Geography offers a sustained and highly convincing analysis of the imperial and post-imperial histories and networks that shape and energise Ballard's fictional and non-fictional writings. To what extent can Ballard be considered an international writer? What happens to our understanding of his post-war science fictions when they are opened up to the language and logics of post-colonialism? And what creative and critical roles do the spectres of empire play in Ballard's visions of modernity? Paddy follows these and other fascinating lines of enquiry in a study that is not only essential reading for Ballard students and scholars, but for anyone interested in the intersections of modern and contemporary literature, history and politics. (Jeanette Baxter, Anglia Ruskin University) Shanghai made my father. Arriving in England after WW2, he was a person of the world who d witnessed extremes of human experience, and remained the outsider observing life from his home in Shepperton. 1930s Shanghai, Paris of the East , was a mix of international sophistication and violence, unfettered capitalism and acute poverty, American cars, martinis and Coca Cola, a place marked by death and war. It had a profound influence on my father and his imagination. Dr Paddy s fascinating book explores my father s fiction within an international context and offers a profound reading of a man who always kept his eyes and mind open to the world. (Fay Ballard)

DIVParanormal expert Hans Holzer investigates the strangest cases of possession—the rare and disturbing instances when a ghost attaches itself to a living person/divDIV Professor Hans Holzer explores the chilling phenomenon of possession: when a ghost is not yet ready to pass on to the next stage and thus inhabits a living person. These cases are not nearly as common as haunted houses or places, but do occur. In Haunted People, Holzer investigates chilling reports of ghosts who have attached themselves to living hosts./div

Parce qu'il veut connaître la vérité sur l'attentat qui a coûté la vie à son ex-femme, le psychologue David Markham infiltre un mouvement clandestin curieusement basé dans le quartier résidentiel cossu de la " Marina de Chelsea ". Sous l'égide d'un médecin charismatique, ce groupuscule cherche à tirer les moyennes de leur torpeur et à les libérer de leur prétendue servitude. Markham se trouve rapidement embarqué dans une série d'éclat qui prend des proportions alarmantes lorsque les mêmes de l'Angleterre bourgeoise sont pris pour cible et que la révolte gronde dans la capitale... En dénonçant la brutalité et la vacuité de nos vies, Millenium People revient sur les thèmes de prédilection de Ballard : les mythes médiatiques et la crise de la société d'abondance. Ce " futur immédiat " est trop proche de notre réalité pour que le lecteur puisse échapper au malaise que l'auteur instille avec maestria.

This study examines the importance of space for the way contemporary novelists experiment with style and form, offering an account of how British writers from the past three decades have engaged with landscape description as a catalyst for innovation. David James considers the work of more than fifteen major British novelists to offer a wide-ranging and accessible commentary on the relationship between landscape and narrative design, demonstrating an approach to the geography of contemporary fiction enriched by the practice of aesthetic criticism. Moving between established and emerging novelists, the book reveals that spatial poetics allow us to chart distinctive and surprising affinities between practitioners, showing how writers today compel us to pay close attention to technique when linking the depiction of physical places to new developments in novelistic craft.

A Christianity Today 1999 Book of the Year Every reader of the Bible has encountered the powerful, comforting and sometimes puzzling imagery of Scripture. These concrete pictures with their hidden force have struck sharp and lasting impressions on our minds. Their imprint has etched itself on the language and grammar of Christian faith and Western culture. Why then do traditional Bible dictionaries and reference works offer so little help to explorers of the Bible's galaxy of verbal pictures? They excel in describing the climate, borders and location of Galilee or Sinai. But they are often blind to the artistic expressions and deaf to the musical meanings that echo from within the world of the biblical text. The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is the first contemporary reference work dedicated to exploring the images, symbols, motifs, metaphors and literary patterns found in the Bible. More than that, it examines the Bible's universal archetypes or master images--including the plot motifs and character types that recur throughout life, literature and the Bible. This unique dictionary explores the dazzling variety in which the Word of God comes dressed in clothes of everyday life. It traces the trail of images from Eden to the New Jerusalem. It captures the plotted patterns of biblical narrative. It surveys the imaged texture of each book of the Bible. In short, The Dictionary of Biblical Imagery is an inviting, enlightening and indispensable companion to the reading, study, contemplation and enjoyment of the Bible.

An explosive and perceptive biography of the British novelist J.G. Ballard To many people, J.G. Ballard will always be the schoolboy in Steven Spielberg's movie Empire of the Sun, struggling to survive as an internee of the Japanese during World War II. Others remember him as the author of CRASH, a meditation on the eroticism of the automobile and the car crash, which also became a film and a cause celebre for its frank depiction of a fetish which, as this book reveals, was no literary conceit but a lifelong preoccupation. In this first biography, John Baxter draws on an admiration of and acquaintance with Ballard that began when they were writers for the same 1960s science fiction magazines. With the help of the few people whom he admitted to his often hermit-like existence, it illuminates the troubled reality behind the urbane and amiable facade of a man who was proud to describe himself as 'psychopathic'.
