The ArtsJanuary 2019Carol Reed
by Peter William Evans
Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2010The Winter's Tale
by Judith Dunbar, Jim Bulman, Carol Chillington Rutter
This illuminating study of The Winter's Tale in performance in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries contributes to understanding the growth during that time of high critical esteem forwhat is now one of Shakespeare's frequently performed plays. Writing about performance as a richly collaborative living art, the author learns from and gives voice to the work of actors, directors, designers and other theatre professionals whose labor and interpretive discoveries have made it possible for audiences to experience the play's multiple potentialities in the theatre. She does this in part by citing from her interviews with directors like Trevor Nunn and Peter Hall and with actors engaged in some of the most significant twentieth-century productions of The Winter's Tale. Dunbar connects her scholarly research, including fresh use of materials in theatrical archives, to her direct experience of those productions she has able to see in performance and, at times, to see develop in rehearsal. Her in-depth analysis of selected significant twentieth-century productions, including cross-cultural productions of The Winter's Tale by the Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden (directed by Ingmar Bergman), and the Maly Drama Theatre of Europe, in St. Petersburg (directed by Declan Donnellan), explores how theatre artists have approached the play's most crucial theatrical and interpretive challenges. The book's last chapter, by distinguishedtheatre scholar and performance critic Carol Chillington Rutter, contributes a richly layered and highly engaging comparative analysis of eight of the most important recent British productions of the play. Dunbar makes a significant contribution to understanding The Winter's Tale which will be of great interest to scholars, teachers, and students of Shakespeare, to theatre lovers, and to all involved in productions of the play. ;

Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Isobel Ross, Silke Kleemann
Der kleine Charles war eine Leseratte, Bücher verschlang er wie andere ein Stück Brot. Aber seine Familie war bettelarm, und so musste er mit zwölf die Schule verlassen und in der Fabrik arbeiten. Nun erfand er selbst Geschichten, sie handelten von Menschen, die das Beste aus ihrem Leben machten. So wie er, der – inzwischen Angestellter in einer Kanzlei – Fortsetzungsgeschichten für Zeitungen schrieb, die man ihm aus den Händen riss. Noch heute werden seine Geschichten landauf, landab gelesen. Allen voran die Weihnachtsgeschichte, aber auch die Geschichte von Oliver Twist, einem Waisenjungen, der auf der Straße lebte. War es ein bisschen auch seine eigene Geschichte? Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

September 2016A Christmas Carol
by Charles Dickens, Flix
Ebenezer Scrooge ist ein Geizkragen. Er behandelt seine Mitarbeiter schlecht, ist hartherzig gegenüber seinen Schuldnern und hat für seine Mitmenschen außer Misstrauen nichts übrig. Auch an Weihnachten – für ihn ein wahrlich überflüssiges Fest – sitzt er am liebsten in seinem Büro und zählt Geld. Eines Heiligabends wird er von den Geistern der vergangenen, gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Weihnachtsfeste heimgesucht. Sie zeigen ihm das Glück, das er durch seine Habgier und Selbstsucht versäumt hat, aber auch das jämmerliche Dasein, das er einsam fristen wird, falls er sein Leben nicht ändert. Schlechte Aussichten für Mr. Scrooge!

Münchnerinnen, die lesen, sind gefährlich
by Claudia Teibler
»Wenn München leuchtet, sind es meist die Männer, die im Licht stehen.« Ob Lion Feuchtwanger oder Erich Kästner, die großen Männer Münchens sind bestens bekannt und vielfach erwähnt. Dass es in München aber auch zahlreiche Frauen gab, die als Schriftstellerinnen, Frauenrechtlerinnen, Publizistinnen, Dramatikerinnen, Journalistinnen, Feuilleton-Chefinnen oder Verlegerinnen ihre Spuren hinterließen, lohnt einer genaueren Betrachtung: Denn unter ihnen sind erstaunlich viele ungewöhnliche Lebensläufe zu entdecken. Claudia Teibler widmet sich diesen meist in Vergessenheit geratenen Frauen und schildert so nicht nur ein Stück Stadt-, sondern auch Emanzipationsgeschichte. Mit Porträts von Anita Augspurg, Elsa Bernstein, Annette Kolb, Fanny zu Reventlow, Lena Christ, Marta Feuchtwanger, Luiselotte Enderle, Jella Lepman u. a. Mit zahlreichen Fotos und Abbildungen Durchgängig vierfarbig illustriert »Die Münchner Kunsthistorikerin und Journalistin Claudia Teibler portraitiert in dem Buch 16 beeindruckende Töchter dieser Stadt.« Bild München
