An unforgettable portrait of a woman bravely confronting loneliness and despair in her quest for self-determination, Jean Rhys's Good Morning Midnight includes an introduction by A.L. Kennedy in Penguin Modern Classics. In 1930s Paris, where one cheap hotel room is very like another, a young woman is teaching herself indifference. She has escaped personal tragedy and has come to France to find courage and seek independence. She tells herself to expect nothing, especially not kindness, least of all from men. Tomorrow, she resolves, she will dye her hair blonde. Jean Rhys was a talent before her time with an impressive ability to express the anguish of young, single women. In Good Morning, Midnight Rhys created the powerfully modern portrait of Sophia Jansen, whose emancipation is far more painful and complicated than she could expect, but whose confession is flecked with triumph and elation. One of the most honest and distinctive British novelists of the twentieth century, Jean Rhys wrote about women with perception and sensitivity in an innovative and often controversial way. Jean Rhys (1894-1979) was born in Dominica. Coming to England aged 16, she drifted into various jobs before moving to Paris, where she began writing and was 'discovered' by Ford Madox Ford. Her novels, often portraying women as underdogs out to exploit their sexualities, were ahead of their time and only modestly successful. From 1939 (when Good Morning, Midnight was written) onwards she lived reclusively, and was largely forgotten when she made a sensational comeback with her account of Jane Eyre's Bertha Rochester, Wide Sargasso Sea, in 1966. If you enjoyed Good Morning Midnight, you might like Rhys's Voyage in the Dark, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Her eloquence in the language of human sexual transactions is chilling, cynical, and surprisingly moving' A.L. Kennedy

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,0, Universität Siegen, Veranstaltung: Filmmusik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Round Midnight" gilt als einer der besten Jazz-Filme. Er lebt von der treffenden Portraitierung eines genialen, aber oft verzweifelten Jazzmusikers, einem stimmigen Bild der Pariser Jazz-Szene in den 1950er und 60er Jahren und vor allem durch die Musik, die sich wie ein alles verbindender roter Faden durch den Film zieht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit analysiere ich die ersten 50 Minuten des französisch-amerikanischen Spielfilms von Regisseur Bertrand Tavernier aus dem Jahr 1986. Meine Schwerpunkte liegen zum einen auf dem Einsatz von Musik im Film und zum anderen auf der Untersuchung von Parallelen zwischen Film und Bud Powells Biografie "Dance of the Infidels", verfasst von Francis Paudras, einem französischen Musikliebhaber. Inhaltlich halte ich mich an die Chronologie des Filmes. Die Szenen werden nacheinander behandelt.

Bad, für ein grösseres Wohl. Rücksichtslos und gerissen, setzt sich Kongressabgeordneter Francis Underwood (Oscar-Gewinner Kevin Spacey) zusammen mit seiner Frau Claire (Robin Wright) über alles hinweg, um alles zu erobern. Dieses böse politische Drama dringt in die schattige Welt von Gier, Sex und Korruption im modernen Washington D.C. ein. Kate Mara (American Horror Story) und Corey Stoll (Midnight in Paris) spielen in der ersten Originalserie von David Fincher (The Social Network) und Beau Willimon (Die Iden des März) mit. „Spacey gibt eine Meisterklasse darin, wie man das macht“ — The Hollywood Reporter „Robin Wright liefert die beste Leistung ihrer Karriere ab“ — Boston Herald „4 von 4 Sternen“ — People „Trifft von Anfang an den perfekten Ton“ — NPR Die politische Intrige wird durch die fesselnde Musik von Jeff Beal (Rom, Monk, Carnivàle) verstärkt, die hier in einem 2CD-Set präsentiert wird.

"A delight, the literary equivalent of a long catch-up with a brilliant friend." —New York TimesWhen you're a woman of a certain age, you are only promised that everything will get worse. But what if everything you've been told is a lie?Come to Paris, August 2021, when the City of Lights was still empty of tourists and a thirst for long-overdue pleasure gripped those who wandered its streets.After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend's apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it. Leaving felt less like a risk than a necessity.What follows is a decadent, joyful, unexpected journey into one woman's pursuit of radical enjoyment.The weeks in Paris are filled with friendship and food and sex. There is dancing on the Seine; a plethora of gooey cheese; midnight bike rides through empty Paris; handsome men; afternoons wandering through the empty Louvre; nighttime swimming in the ocean off a French island. And yes, plenty of nudity.In the spirit of Nora Ephron and Deborah Levy (think Colette . . . if she'd had access to dating apps), I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself is an intimate, insightful, powerful, and endlessly pleasurable memoir of an intensely lived experience whose meaning and insight expand far beyond the personal narrative. MacNicol is determined to document the beauty, excess, and triumph of a life that does not require permission.The pursuit of enjoyment is a political act, both a right and a responsibility. Enjoying yourself—as you are—is not something the world tells you is possible, but it is.Here's the proof.

In Kombination mit dem Wunder der "Midnight Library", der Einfallsreichtum von "Ready Player One" und der Kunstfertigkeit von "Cloud Atlas" erkundet dieser Roman des Bestsellerautors von "The Oracle Year" und "Anyone" die Art und Weise, wie wir alle verbunden sind – und was passieren kann, wenn wir unsere Fähigkeit zur Freude verlieren. In ein paar Jahren, in einer Welt, die unserer ähnlich ist, gibt es eine Art "Depressionsplage", die die Menschen einfach "Das Grau" nennen. Niemand kann vorhersagen, wen es treffen wird oder wie, aber einmal infiziert, gibt es kein Zurück. Eine junge, in Hongkong lebende Wissenschaftlerin, Lily Barnes, versucht, ihr inneres Licht in einer zunehmend dunklen Welt aufrechtzuerhalten. Die Menschheit schrumpft, und Menschen, die kämpfen, um voranzukommen, werden immer seltener. Eines Tages stösst Lily auf etwas, das scheint, als würde es sie direkt ansprechen, sie rufen und sie bitten, einem Weg zu folgen, der zu dem führt, was am Ende liegt. Ist dies das Endlose Gefäss für Glück? Sie lässt ihr Leben hinter sich und begibt sich auf eine Reise durch Zeit und Raum, um es herauszufinden. Von der herzzerreissenden Eröffnungsszene in der Gegenwart im Louvre in Paris über die irdischen Begegnungen zwischen Lily und ihren geliebten Menschen aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart bis hin zu einem schockierenden und befriedigenden Abschluss in einem wahrhaft verzauberten Wald hat Charles Soule Geschichte, Wissenschaft und Drama kanalisiert, um eine Geschichte für die Ewigkeit zu schaffen – eine Geschichte von Hoffnung, Liebe und Möglichkeiten. Dies ist ein Roman, den Sie nicht so schnell vergessen werden.
