A dark midwinter's night in an ancient inn on the Thames. The regulars are entertaining themselves by telling stories when the door bursts open on an injured stranger. In his arms is the drowned corpse of a little child.

En episk beretning av beste slag, sitrende spennende og underholdende. Boken satte det litterære Storbritannia på hodet da den utkom i 2006, og ble på et blunk solgt til 40 land. Ingen vet hvem den gåtefulle forfatteren Vida Winter er. Hun har brukt hele sitt liv på å dikte historier om seg selv. Den grufulle sannheten tåler ikke dagens lys. Nå, gammel og syk, ønsker hun å lette på mysteriets slør. Den unge Margaret Lea takker ja til å skrive biografien hennes. Historien hun avdekker, handler om utemmet villskap og galskap, forbudt kjærlighet, brå død og usynlige bånd. Men hva er sannhet, og hva er diktning? Og hva er mysteriet om den trettende fortellingen?

Spennende bok, ble positivt overrasket da forfatteren var ukjent for meg.

Structure is Character. Characters are what they do. Story events impact the characters and the characters impact events. Actions and reactions create revelation and insight, opening the door to a meaningful emotional experience for the audience. Story is what elevates a film, a novel, a play, or teleplay, transforming a good work into a great one. Movie-making in particular is a collaborative endeavour - requiring great skill and talent by the entire cast, crew and creative team - but the screenwriter is the only original artist on a film. Everyone else - the actors, directors, cameramen, production designers, editors, special effects wizards and so on - are interpretive artists, trying to bring alive the world, the events and the characters that the writer has invented and created. Robert McKee's STORY is a comprehensive and superbly organized exploration of all elements, from the basics to advanced concepts. It is a practical course, presenting new perspectives on the craft of storytelling, not just for the screenwriter but for the novelist, playwright, journalist and non-fiction writers of all types.

<p>The Urban Image of Augustan Rome examines the idea and experience of the ancient city at a critical moment, when Rome became an Imperial capital. Lacking dignity, unity, and a clear image during the Republic, the urban image of Rome became focused only when the state came under the control of Augustus, the first emperor, who transformed the city physically and conceptually. Intervening in an ad hoc manner, he repaired existing public structures, added numerous new monuments, established municipal offices for urban care, and promoted an enduring aesthetic. Directed by a single vision, the cumulative results were forceful and unified. This book explores for the first time the motives for urban intervention, methods for implementation and the socio-political context of the Augustan period, as well as broader design issues such as formal urban strategies and definitions of urban imagery.</p>
