The ArtsJune 2017Terence Fisher
by Peter Hutchings
Terence Fisher is best known as the director who made most of the classic Hammer horrors - including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out. But there is more to Terence Fisher than Hammer horror. In a busy twenty-five-year career, he directed fifty films, not just horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas and science-fiction. This book offers an appreciation of all of Fisher's films and also gives a sense of his place in British film history. Looking at Fisher's career as a whole not only underlines his importance as a film-maker but also casts a new, interesting light on the areas in which he worked - Gainsborough melodrama, the 1950s B film, 1960s science-fiction and, of course, Hammer, one of the most successful independent film companies in the history of British cinema.

April 2012Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte
Roman
by Roy Jacobsen, Gabriele Haefs
Alles ändert sich im Leben des zehnjährigen Finn, als plötzlich seine kleine Halbschwester Linda mutterseelenallein vor der Tür steht – mit einem himmelblauen Koffer und jeder Menge emotionalem Sprengstoff … Es ist das Jahr 1961 – das Jahr, in dem John F. Kennedy Präsident wird, Gagarin in den Weltraum fliegt und der Bau der Berliner Mauer beginnt. Finn wächst in einer schmucklosen Vorstadt von Oslo auf, das Leben ist einfach und sozialdemokratisch. Er ist ein schmächtiger Junge, aber vielleicht der Klügste seiner Klasse. Wacker schlägt er sich mit seiner Mutter durch den Alltag, seit der Vater gestorben ist. Bis eines Tages die kleine Linda Einzug hält: Die Sechsjährige wirkt merkwürdig, pummelig ist sie, abwesend und schweigsam. Auch die Mutter, der einstige Fels in der Brandung, ist anders als sonst. Für Finn beginnt ein Sommer, den er nie vergessen wird … »Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte« ist ein Familienroman voller Wärme und Magie und eine ergreifende Geschichte über die große Macht des Kleinen.
