Beschreibung

In "The Great White Way," Albert Bigelow Paine masterfully captures the vibrant tapestry of early 20th-century New York City, particularly focusing on the cultural dynamism of Broadway. Written with a lyrical style that intertwines narrative and vivid descriptions, the book reflects the burgeoning theatrical scene of the time and the societal changes accompanying it. Paine'Äôs rich prose not only chronicles the physical landscape of Broadway but also delves into the personal stories of the artists, producers, and audiences who contributed to the iconic milieu, offering readers a compelling glimpse into a world on the brink of modernity. Albert Bigelow Paine was an American author and biographer, best known for his intimate association with literary figures of his time, including Mark Twain. His experiences navigating the worlds of journalism and literature provided him with a unique perspective on the interplay between art and life. Paine'Äôs reverence for the theatrical arts, as well as his desire to document the pulse of the era, heavily influenced his creation of this masterpiece, which serves both as a historical text and an homage to the theatrical spirit. "The Great White Way" is highly recommended for those who appreciate the intersection of history and the arts. Its engaging narrative makes it accessible to both scholars and general readers alike, allowing audiences to better understand the cultural significance of Broadway. Through Paine's insightful exploration, readers will not only gain knowledge but also an appreciation for the enduring legacy of one of America'Äôs most iconic cultural centers.

    The Edinburgh Festival of those days was a much more accessible village... The ground rules were well enough understood. Everything about it was containable. The Fringe was the seed bed for talent and ran happily in step with its established elders and betters. They both knew their place.
    But then something equally remarkable was about to take place in the New Town of the city I knew and loved...
    The same year, Roddy Martine is born. In 1963 when, at the age of sixteen, he interviewed Sir Yehudi Menuhin and David Frost for an Edinburgh Festival magazine he edited and the following year, met Marlene Dietrich.
    Both Richard and Roddy have unique perspectives on the most remarkable international festival of the arts the world has ever known. They have witnessed its evolution over the years and are passionate believers in the power of creativity within everyone.
    In this fascinating book, Richard – the 2013 UK recipient of the Citizen of Europe medal – explores the original world vision of Sir John Falconer and Rudolph Bing and, with Roddy, recalls the highs and lows of The Edinburgh International Festival, The Fringe, Art, Book, Jazz and Television Festivals, and The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
    Now in its eighth decade, can the Edinburgh Festival survive? Where do we go from here?
