Granville Barker on Theatre brings together some of the most important critical theatrical writings of Harley Granville Barker, a major figure of 20th-century British theatre.
Known as a pioneer of the National Theatre and Repertory Movement, and remembered mainly for his Prefaces to Shakespeare, from the 1900s to his death in the 1940s Granville Barker commented enthusiastically in newspaper items, introductions to plays, articles, essays, articles, and published lectures on a range of topics: the nature of theatre as an art form and as a social medium, the need for ensemble playing in a repertory system, the relationship between the three chief constituents of theatre - the actor, the playwright and the audience. Granville Barker on Theatre makes available again these writings in which Barker dissects the state of theatre as he saw it, with coruscating critiques of the commercial system, the long run and censorship, the vitality of theatre outside Britain, and what he saw as the welcome renaissance of theatre in non-professional groups liberated from the profit motive. These writings show a master practitioner concerned with, above all, promoting a new type of drama; vital not only for its own sake but for the sake of the health of society at large.
Автор: White Hugh Granville, White Chris Granville Название: War Amongst the Clouds: My Flying Experiences in World War I and the Follow-On Years 1920-1983 ISBN: 1977364721 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781977364722 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 34930.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is the story of a young man who trained as a pilot, and then flew with the Royal Flying Corps in France during the First World War, eventually becoming an ace. Hugh White flew F.E.2D Scout aircraft as a reconnaissance patrol pilot and later in the war was promoted to squadron leader of squadrons flying the S.E.5a, which was Britain's best fighter aircraft at the time. During the two years of flying, he experienced and survived a series of escapades including a dramatic mid-air collision with the enemy. Told by Hugh in his own words, War Amongst the Clouds gives a unique insight into war in the air. With the break-up of his squadron and being reduced to a substantive rank-simply because of his young age, Hugh's writing ends in 1919. From this point, the story is continued by his younger son Christopher. He describes Hugh's life and RAF career from flying in India during the 1920s through the Second World War until his retirement as an air vice-marshal in 1955. This book includes a foreword by Sir Frederick Sowrey (Hugh's nephew), which puts Hugh White's early wartime service into context. It is a timely reminder, following the centenary of the end of the First World War, of the difficulties that young pilots faced at the time. A must-listen for those interested in wartime exploits.

The Untold Story of Britain's First Female Special Agent of World War II
In June 1952, a woman was murdered by an obsessed colleague in a hotel in the South Kensington district of London. Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young was perhaps unsurprising; that she had survived the Second World War was remarkable. The daughter of a feckless Polish aristocrat and his wealthy Jewish wife, Granville would become one of Britain's most daring and highly decorated special agents. Having fled to Britain on the outbreak of war, she was recruited by the intelligence services and took on mission after mission. She skied over the hazardous High Tatras into occupied Poland, served in Egypt and North Africa, and was later parachuted behind enemy lines into France, where an agent's life expectancy was only six weeks. Her courage, quick wit, and determination won her release from arrest more than once, and saved the lives of several fellow officers--including one of her many lovers--just hours before their execution by the Gestapo. More importantly, the intelligence she gathered in her espionage was a significant contribution to the Allied war effort, and she was awarded the George Medal, the OBE, and the Croix de Guerre. Granville exercised a mesmeric power on those who knew her. In The Spy Who Loved, acclaimed biographer Clare Mulley tells the extraordinary history of this charismatic, difficult, fearless, and altogether extraordinary woman.

Описание: That philosophy and the physical sciences, when called to the defense of Christianity, have so often proven to be broken reeds has been a keen disappointment to many sincere seekers after the truth. A little reflection, however, will make clear that in the very nature of things such failures must inevitably result, because structures resting on shifting sand can never serve as strong buttresses. No two systems of philosophy agree and every philosopher is continually tinkering with his own system. There is no final authority in philosophy to which an appeal can be made. Such being the case it is obviously not to be expected that philosophy can furnish us with proofs of the truths of Christianity whose validity will be generally recognized. And the sciences have also fallen short for similar reasons. The foundations of our physical sciences are far from stable. To doubt the principles of the conservation of energy, the conservation of matter, or the Indivisibility of the atom, would have been considered as rank scientific heresy a few years ago; today all physicists are familiar with phenomena which contradict one or more of them. The Einstein Theory of Relativity is now opening up new fields for scientific investigation which promises results that will practically revolutionize many current fundamental scientific concepts. In fact, the foundation principles on which the physical sciences rest have been changing so rapidly of late that practically all the science text-books now used in our schools are more or less obsolete. The physical sciences as well as philosophy are in a constant state of flux and flow as well as of growth, and this must necessarily continue to be the situation until the ultimate truth is reached, If it is ever attained, in these domains of knowledge. As all will readily agree that the limits of these regions have not yet been reached and, what is more, that these limits are not even measurably in sight, it is evident that we cannot reasonably expect that much constructive light will be thrown on Christianity now or in the near future by either philosophy or the physical sciences...
