The town of Port Talbot has long been seen (quite literally) as synonymous with the steel industry. Yet it also has another claim to fame as the actors capital of Wales. It has produced a remarkable number of actors since the inter-war years. Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins and Michael Sheen head the glittering cast but there are many others including early stars such as Ronald Lewis and Ivor Emmanuel, more recent figures like Rob Brydon and Di Botcher as well as a cluster of exciting young actorsstarting to make their names in the West End and on the big and small screen.This book suggests explanations for this phenomenon. Its author is a historical biographer who hails from Port Talbot and has done extensive research including numerous interviews. It explores the provision of educational and cultural facilities for young people over the years and demonstrates a commitment to drama that is deeply embedded in the towns history. It tells in some depth the stories of the super-stars but in a novel way, focusing on how they emerged and on those who nurtured their talent, presenting the actors as part of a tradition that was set in motion even before Richard Burton began to make his mark.It surveys the careers of fifty actors from Port Talbot and it considers what its most famous stars have put back into their community, culminating in the spectacular three-day event of Easter 2011 when Michael Sheen resurrected Port Talbots pride and hopes through the immersive theatrical experience of The Passion.Written at a time of mixed fortunes for actors when funding for training is threatened yet opportunities for theatre and film work are expanding within Wales, this book puts centre-stage a town, its actors and those who guide them and so offers a new kind of cultural history. Such an approach also raises wider questions about the importance of the arts and of drama in particular to the wellbeing of communities.

A new approach to Thackeray. Although this study embraces all his work, it switches attention from his late novels, and bases the case for his imaginative vitality on the multifarious material - reviews, travel books, burlesques, Punch articles - that he turned out, mostly under severe financial stress, at the start of his writing career. Here was the breeding ground of Vanity Fair; here we find the subversive Thackeray, foe of humbug and high art, waylaying snobbery and the cant of social reformers with bravura and buffoonery - the Thackeray who, in Trollopes words, laughed, and ate, and drank, and threw his pearls about with miraculous profusion. In portraying the range and intensity of Thackerays imagination, topics singled out include: light and painting; ballet dancers; pantomime; haute cuisine; times ruins; and the rainbow realm of commerce. The picture of Thackeray, as man and artist, that emerges, is fresh and challenging.

La inspiradora biografía de una de las mejores pianistas en la historia de Colombia.A lo largo de más de seis décadas de carrera artística, la pianista Teresita Gómez ha sido una inspiración para muchos. Su talento extraordinario la ha llevado a conquistar los escenarios mas importantes del mundo -como la Sociedad Chopin, en Varsovia; el Palacio Real de El Pardo, en Madrid, y el Festival Internacional Franz Liszt, en Weimar-, en los que ha sido una embajadora invaluable del patrimonio musical colombiano y una interprete destacada de los clasicos. Nacida en Medellin, empezo a tocar piano cuando era niña, y la pasion por ese instrumento, que es tambien una filosofia de vida, la ha acompañado siempre. Ha sido agregada cultural en el exterior, receptora de la Orden de Boyaca -entre otras distinciones-, miembro de la Opera de Colombia, madre, amiga y abuela, y durante años ha contribuido a formar a las nuevas generaciones de pianistas en el pais.En esta biografia autorizada, producto de un trabajo cuidado y riguroso, Beatriz Helena Robledo narra la historia de una mujer que logro el exito a pesar de haber tenido que enfrentarse al racismo sistematico de nuestra sociedad; un ejemplo de constancia y de lucha, pero, sobre todo, de entrega total a su arte. Teresita Gomez como nunca antes se habia contado.

Teorías de lo ilegible: Arte e ilusión de presencia en la literatura aborda las apropiaciones de la obra literaria por parte de las artes visuales y de las artes visuales por parte de la literatura. A traves de la consideracion de ejemplos de diferentes generos literarios y artisticos, el libro indaga por las nuevas perspectivas de sentido que se abren con el dialogo entre lo visual y lo verbal, en particular a partir de casos en los que este vinculo produce extrañamiento e innovacion estetica.Entre otros, se estudian fenomenos como la profanacion de la imagen sagrada y la relacion entre vanguardia y estetica de la crueldad; se analizan obras literarias que funcionan como museos, falsas historias del arte y alegorias del montaje artistico, y se discute la imagen pornografica asociada a la sumision femenina en el arte y la cultura popular. Autores como Jose Saramago, Roberto Bolaño, Orhan Pamuk, Alvaro Mutis, Ricardo Cano Gaviria, Octavio Paz, y Borges y Bioy Casares dan pie para las consideraciones.La escritura ensayistica de los textos contenidos en este libro permite una aproximacion al tema que no precisa de conocimientos especializados, sin dejar de hacer aportes a la critica y a la teoria.
