Автор: O`Toole Fintan Название: The Politics of Pain: Postwar England and the Rise of Nationalism ISBN: 1684574951 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781684574957 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 27580.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: From one of the most perceptive observers of the English today comes a brilliantly insightful, mordantly funny account of their seemingly irrational embrace of nationalism. England's recent lurch to the right appears to be but one example of the nationalist wave sweeping across the world, yet as acclaimed Irish critic Fintan O'Toole suggests in The Politics of Pain, it is, in reality, a phenomenon rooted in World War II. We must look not to the vagaries of the European Union but, instead, far back to the end of the British empire, if we hope to understand our most fraternal ally-and the royal mess in which the British now find themselves. O'Toole depicts a roiling nation that almost ludicrously dreams of a German invasion, if only to get the blood going, and that erupts in faux outrage over regulations on "prawn-flavored crisps." A sympathetic yet unsparing observer, O"Toole asks: How did a great nation bring itself to the point of such willful self-harm? His answer represents one of the most profound portraits of the English since Sarah Lyall's New York Times bestseller The Anglo Files.
"O'Toole is Ireland's best interviewer."--Irish Mail on Sunday
As Matt Damon's character said in Martin Scorsese's "The Departed", "What Freud said about the Irish is, 'We're the only people who are impervious to psychoanalysis '"
But they're also a remarkably candid race, as is evident in this major anthology of over 20 in-depth interviews with some Hollywood icons and character actors, including: Gabriel Byrne, Saoirse Ronan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Brenda Fricker, Patrick Bergin, David Kelly, and those with strong Irish roots such as Martin Sheen, and John Boorman.
It also includes a rare exchange with Peter O'Toole's daughter, Kate, about her legendary father, and the last major print interview with Maureen O'Hara, which is published here for the first time as a Q&A in its entirety.
None of these deeply personal interviews were conducted at press junkets, but instead were set-up with the actors directly without any interference from publicists or movie studios.
With such unique access, O'Toole found himself hanging out for an entire weekend with Martin Sheen, exchanging emails with the likes of Gabriel Byrne, and enjoying lengthy phone conversations with the reclusive Brenda Fricker, who is the only Irish actress to win an Oscar.
"O'Toole specializes in in-your-face interviews."--Sunday Independent
