The Heroic Life of George Gissing: 1857-1888

Product Description Product DescriptionGeorge Gissing lived a life worthy of the plot from one of his own novels. An exceptionally gifted man, born into relatively genteel comfort, he nonetheless managed to enter into two disastrous marriages with working-class women, got thrown out of university for stealing, spent a month doing hard labour in prison and died before the age of fifty. It is all the more surprising then, that he still managed to write twenty-three novels and over a hundred short stories, as well as works of literary criticism and a travelogue. This ambitious three-volume biography examines both his life and writing chronologically and in close detail. Coustillas's exhaustive research is based on all the known surviving Gissing correspondence, Gissing's works and every piece of literary criticism on Gissing from 1880 onwards. Press archives from England, America, the former Colonies, France and Germany have all been consulted. This approach, by the foremost authority on Gissing, allows new insights into his life and work. Part I covers Gissing's early life up until his establishment as a writer of moderate critical success. Gissing's precocious intellectual development propelled him to a scholarship at Owens College , but while there his ill-advised love affair with the prostitute Marianne Harrison led to him stealing to keep her off the streets and thence to prison. On release, he sailed for America and lived for a while in Chicago. It was during this period that he got his first chance as a writer, producing short stories for the Chicago Tribune. On his return to England Gissing married Nell and began teaching and writing novels. These early works are notable for their focus on poverty and the working classes.

Losing My Virginity

Product Description Product DescriptionThe autobiography of the Virgin tycoon. "Having come close to dying over the Atlas Mountains, I thought that I should write this book now, in case my guardian angel ever deserts me. I also realised that my children, Holly and Sam, who are still young, would not really know what I had done and why I had done it. So this autobiography is for Holly and Sam, the best thing I've created in the last eighteen years . But most especially for their mother, my wife Joan, who's seen me through most of the highs and lows. I have also written this book to show how we made Virgin what it is today. Rather like our balloon flights, these years have been all about survival. If you read carefully between the lines you will, I hope, understand our vision and where we are going. Some people say that this vision breaks all the rules and is wildly kaleidoscopic; others say that Virgin is set to become one of the leading brand names of the next century; others analyse it down to the last degree and write academic papers on it. As for me and the wonderful team around me, we just pick up the phone and get on with it -- and have one hell of an adventure in the process."

Idea Vilarino, la vida escrita/ The Written Life

Product Description Product DescriptionIDEA VILARI?O es una de las voces m?s poderosas de la poes?a americana y acaso la m?s desencantada. Desde su revelaci?n en 1945 ha escrito los poemas m?s intensos y los m?s duros y sombr?os. Sus Nocturnos. sus Poemas de amor. su Pobre mundo crearon una constelaci?n austera. una poes?a del no. verdadera y lac?nica. mitigada apenas por el deslumbramiento de la naturaleza y el ?xtasis del amor. esperanzada solo por el sue?o eterno de la revoluci?n.Este libro es quiz? el lado iluminado de esa belleza en sombras. Un itinerario que busca a la mujer que escribi? en soledad. recorre sus paisajes. transita los intersticios de la creaci?n e intenta regresar las fatalidades hist?ricas y personales que estuvieron en el origen de los poemas.La vida escrita es un homenaje y es algo m?s. Re?ne testimonios y valoraciones. pero esencialmente -en lo que tiene de m?s valioso- dice a Idea desde ella misma. Est? hecho de palabras privadas y de im?genes ?ntimas: de cartas y fragmentos de diarios. de las fotograf?as de un ?lbum familiar. Las cartas que Idea atesor?. el diario que escribe desde sus veinte a?os. las escasas entrevistas que concedi?. las fotograf?as que coleccion? y peg? morosamente en sus ?lbumes con la persistencia de quien. como dijo Rilke. vive su vida con ?el presentimiento de que va a ser escrita .

Rameau and Musical Thought in the Enlightenment

Product Description Product DescriptionThis is the first intellectual biography of the French composer and theorist Jean-Philippe Rameau. Rameau synthesised the vocabulary and grammar of musical practice into a concise scientific system, earning himself the popular title of 'Newton of the Arts'. Ranging widely over the musical and intellectual thought of the eighteenth century, Thomas Christensen is able to orient Rameau's accomplishments in the light of speculative and practical considerations of music theory as well as many of the scientific ideas current in the French Enlightenment. He shows how Rameau incorporates ideas ranging from neoplatonic thought and Cartesian mechanistic metaphysics to Locke's empirical psychology and Newtonian experimental science. Additional primary documents help clarify Rameau's fascinating and stormy relationship with the Encyclopedists, Diderot, Rousseau and d'Alembert.
