Sinossi

Raffish, urbane and frequently drunk, David Highland has kept a grip on his remote coastal parish through a combination of disordered charm and high-handed determination.
When his faith impels him to take a hard line with a bereaved parishioner, he finds himself dangerously isolated from public opinion. As his own family begins to fracture, David must face a future that threatens to extinguish not only his position in the town, but everything he stands for.
Stephen Beresford's play The Southbury Child is a darkly comic drama exploring family and community, the savage divisions of contemporary society, and the rituals that punctuate our lives. It was co-produced by Chichester Festival Theatre and the Bridge Theatre, London, in 2022, starring Alex Jennings and directed by Nicholas Hytner.
Disponibile da: 16/06/2022.
Lunghezza di stampa: 112 pagine.

    'The men that walked in darkness / Had found the light before.'
    
    A vibrant collection of poems illustrating the wit, depth and imaginative range from one of the most distinctive voices of the twentieth century: G.K. Chesterton.
    
    Blending humour, paradox and profound spiritual insight, Chesterton's poems celebrate the ordinary, challenge modern cynicism and champion faith with an unrelenting joy. From rollicking ballads like 'The Rolling English Road' to meditative pieces such as 'The Ballad of the White Horse', this selection captures Chesterton's trademark use of playful rhythm, sharp intellect and deep moral conviction. It is a journey through verse that evokes wonder, defends tradition and sings with clarity and courage. This audiobook edition is beautifully read by David Rintoul.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 – 1936) was an English novelist, philosopher, journalist and critic. A Christian apologist, he is famed for creating the fictional priest-detective Father Brown. His writing was also renowned for his sense of humour: known as 'the prince of paradox', Chesterton often turned common sayings upside down. Admired by several of his literary contemporaries, Chesterton's work is still widely read today.

    Four in Hand

    Comprised of four heroic crowns of sonnets, Alicia Mountain’s Four in Hand is both formal and experimental, ranging from lyric romantic and familial narratives to blank verses of reconfigured found text pulled from financial newsletter emails. Language and white space equally captivate with their sparsity and abundance as Mountain pursues the implications of national political identity with intersectional awareness. These poems interrogate our collective complicity in late-stage capitalism, drone warfare, the election of Donald Trump, environmental degradation, mental health crises, and the dawn of Covid-19 through the lens of gay poetic lineage, regionalism, and familial kinships structures. With one enthralling image after the other, Four in Hand builds a world that carves out necessary space for lesbian gaze, speakership, and personhood. From the back corner of a vast, sprawling, yet gorgeous landscape of thought, Mountain's poems beckon us inside.

    This book is a companion to The Unwinding. It contains within images that tell stories, but it reads like a silent film. Each of the images is an invitation to dream.
    
    The tales of this silent edition are not pinned to the page by words. Each dreamer will find their own path, perhaps a new one each time they return.
    
    The illustrations are intended to inspire: there is space to draw and write, to paint dreams and stories, thoughts and verse, in new worlds, wherever your pen may guide you.
