Описание: It is the 1950s. Tina, Hine and Sally are three young women who meet for the first time at the Preliminary Training School of a large English Midland Hospital Group. After a rocky start the girls with very different backgrounds, pledge a lasting friendship. Tina comes from a sheltered life in a middle-class family in Stratford-on-Avon: Hine is half Maori and had an illegitimate child in New Zealand, but this is not known to the others for some time. Sally was born with a silver spoon in her mouth but after an escapade in Switzerland, is packed off to train to be a nurse, much to her disgust.The story follows the nursing experiences of the young women as they pass their Preliminary Examinations and find themselves facing the real challenges of their training and the development of relationships with the opposite sex. Sally marries the charming surgeon Peter Phillips, while Tina and Hine travel out by ship to New Zealand to try to find her young son Tane. Aboard ship they meet the ship's doctor, Jim Wainright who has resorted to alcohol to forget a sad past. Hine's developing love for Jim is a lifeline, and they seek for Tane together once they reach New Zealand.Left alone, Tina has her own adventures when she meets the charismatic Scotsman, David Robb. All does not run smoothly for the feisty couple, and it takes dramatic circumstances in New Zealand, England and Scotland to resolve their differences.

Описание: Following the release of Ridley Scott's Gladiator in 2000 the ancient world epic has experienced a revival in studio and audience interest. Building on existing scholarship on the Cold War epics of the 1950s-60s, including Ben-Hur, Spartacus and The Robe, this original study explores the current cycle of ancient world epics in cinema within the social and political climate created by September 11th 2001. Examining films produced against the backdrop of the War on Terror and subsequent invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, this book assesses the relationship between mainstream cinema and American society through depictions of the ancient world, conflict and faith. Davies explores how these films evoke depictions of the Second World War, the Vietnam War and the Western in portraying warfare in the ancient world, as well as discussing the influence of genre hybridisation, narration and reception theory. He questions the extent to which ancient world epics utilise allegory, analogy and allusion to parallel past and present in an industry often dictated by market forces. Featuring analysis of Alexander, Troy, 300, Centurion, The Eagle, The Passion of the Christ and more, this book offers new insight on the continued evolution of the ancient world epic in cinema.
