Stephen Gill Knihy

A classic novel about the Chancery court and its cases while dwelling upon the romanic side of familiar things.

Arthur's seduction of an innocent, young country girl results in remorse, suffering, and regret

Pôsobivý obraz temného zločineckého podsvetia Londýna, príbeh sleduje Oliviera Twista, sirotu, ktorý čelí zlu a nepriazni od svojho narodenia, čo šokovalo čitateľov pri jeho vydaní. Po úteku z práce a pompézneho pána Bumblea sa Oliver dostáva do zločineckej skupiny plnej živých postáv, ako sú prefíkaný Dodger, brutálny zlodej Bill Sikes, jeho pes Bull's Eye a prostitútka Nancy, všetci pod dohľadom majstra zlodeja Fagina. Kombinujúc gotický román, prvky novely z Newgate a populárnu melodrámu, Dickens vytvoril nový druh fikcie, ktorý kritizuje krutú spoločnosť, preniknutú pocitom ohrozenia a tajomstva. Príbeh je prepracovanou kritikou spoločenských pomerov a zobrazuje ťažkosti, ktorým čelí chudoba a bezprávie.

Based on intimate knowledge of the poet's manuscripts, on a fresh look at contemporary records and on a study of the mass of material that has appeared since the last serious biography, this new account of Wordsworth focuses on what was most important to him - his life as a writer.

Stephen Gill has learnt to haunt the places that haunt him. His photo-accumulations demonstrate a tender vision factored out of experience; alert, watchful, not overeager, wary of that mendacious conceit, "closure." There is always flow, momentum, the sense of a man passing through a place that delights him. A sense of stepping down, immediate engagement, politic exchange. Then he remounts the bicycle and away. Loving retrievals, like a letter to a friend, never possession… What I like about Stephen Gill is that he has learnt to give us only as much as we need, the bones of the bones of the bones... --Iain SinclairContinuing to photograph where his award-winning book Hackney Wick left off, Stephen Gill also made Archaeology in Reverse in this personally cherished area of East London. Still making pictures with the camera he bought at Hackney Wick market for 50 pence, for this volume Gill focuses on things that do not yet exist.This magnificently produced book features traces and clues of things to come in a poetic, sometimes eerie and quiet photographic study of a place in a state of limbo prior to the rapid transformation that the area faces during the build-up to the Olympics in 2012.
