Описание: _______________________'An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer's English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly.' ELIZABETH STROUT'A complete joy. Wise, funny, no-nonsense, stylish and brilliantly practical.' RACHEL JOYCE_______________________An indispensable, New York Times-bestselling guide to the craft of writing from Random House's long-time copy chief and one of Twitter's leading language gurus. We all write, all the time: books, blogs, tweets, emails, emails, emails - and we all want to write better.
Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House's copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike - not to mention his followers on social media - for playfully, brilliantly deconstructing the English language.
Dreyer's English is the distillation of everything he has learned from copyediting thousands of books, the perfect guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. Both authoritative and amusing, Dreyer's English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en-dash; the rules and non-rules of grammar, including why it's OK to begin a sentence with 'And' or 'But' and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it's best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including 'very', 'rather', 'of course', and the dreaded 'actually'. And yes: 'Only godless savages eschew the Oxford comma.'Stuffed with advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people's prose, and - perhaps best of all - an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language.

Автор: Schrader Paul Название: Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer ISBN: 0520296818 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780520296817 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 3960.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть (1 шт.) Описание: With a new introduction, acclaimed director Paul Schrader revisits and updates his study and contemplation of slow cinema of the past fifty years. This seminal text analyzes the film style of three great directors--Yasujiro Ozu, Robert Bresson, Carl Dreyer--and posits a common dramatic language by these artists from divergent cultures. Unlike the style of psychological realism, which dominates film, the transcendental style expresses a spiritual state with austere camerawork, acting devoid of self-consciousness, and editing that avoids editorial comment. This important book is an original contribution to film analysis and a key work by one of our most searching directors and writers. Transcendental Style in Film has been widely cited and used in film and art classes. This edition updates Schrader's theoretical framework and provides a stimulating counter-history to the last half century of global art cinema, extending his theory to the works of Andrei Tarkovsky (Russia), B'la Tarr (Hungary), Theo Angelopoulos (Greece), and Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey) among others. With evocative prose and nimble associations, Schrader consistently urges readers and viewers alike to keep exploring the world of the art film.

Описание:
Isacq is fiction based on the early life of the author's direct ancestor Johannes Augustinus Dreyer (1689-1759). Commencing with a long flashback from the Cape of Good Hope in 1738, it novelizes his adventures in the five years from 1708, when he was a student at the University of Rostock, to 1713, when he signed on with the Dutch East India Company as an adelbors, or midshipman, under the Catalan alias Isacq d'AlguE ("of Alghero"). He would go by this alias for many years at the Cape, until he admitted his real identity in his last will and testament and asked his children to resume using the surname Dreyer.
Isacq fights a fatal duel in Swedish Wismar, flees to London, enters the English secret service under the spymaster-novelist Daniel Defoe, is sent as a secret agent to Herrenhausen, the palace at Hannover of the Elector Georg Ludwig (the future King George I of England), where he is employed by the philosopher Leibniz and imagines himself foiling a Jacobite plot to murder the Elector and his son. He falls in love, ships out on a Dutch vessel in the War of the Spanish Succession, is captured by Algerine pirates in the Mediterranean, escapes when their xebec is sunk, and travels across Sardinia to the Catalan city of Alghero, which has become an Allied base supplying the troops fighting in Spain.
On November 8, 1713, the man calling himself Isacq d'AlguE arrived at the Cape, where he would marry and father six children, from whom many thousands of South Africans alive today are descended, the author of this novel among them.
