Описание: Out of all the many stars and celebrities Hollywood has produced, only a handful have achieved the fame--and, some would say, infamy--of Orson Welles, the creator and star of what is arguably the greatest American film, Citizen Kane. Many books have been written about him, detailing his achievements as an artist as well his foibles as a human being. None of them, however, has gotten so close to the real man as does Chris Welles Feder's beautifully realized portrait of her father."In My Father's Shadow" is a classic story of a life lived in the public eye, told with affection and the wide-eyed wonder of a daughter who never stopped believing that someday she would truly know and understand her elusive and larger-than-life father. The result is a moving and insightful look at life in the shadow of a legendary figure and an immensely entertaining story of growing up in the unreal reality of Hollywood, enhanced by Welles Feder's collection of many never-before-seen family photographs.

Описание: From pre-Socratics to the literature of his own days, Samuel Beckett spent his early years absorbing all he could of Western European literature, art, philosophy and science. Yet his interest in scientific disciplines and methodologies, essential to his writing, has been largely neglected. Samuel Beckett and Science returns to the empirical roots of his thought. Ackerley works closely with Beckett's 1930s notebooks, tracing the chronological movement in his writings from ancient Greek science to theories of relativity. These notebooks, where extensive readings are recorded, underlie Ackerley's argument that the paradoxes informing the first works are essential to understanding Beckett's later support of ignorance. Focusing on physics – both in Beckett's sense of his physical body and his sense of time and motion in the context of his writing – enables Ackerley to set the physical, biological and mathematical sciences next to literature, philosophy, religion and epistemology: an inter-disciplinary approach that crucially illustrates how the scientific method provides an effective procedure for exploring Beckettian uncertainty.
