Krátky popis
'Wordy is about the intoxication of writing, my sense of playful
versatility, different voices for different matters: the polemical
voice for political columns, the sharp-eyed descriptive take for
profiles, poetic precision in grappling with the hard task of
translating art into words, lyrical recall for memory pieces. And
informing everything a rich sense of the human comedy and the ways
it plays through historical time. It's also a reflection on writers
who have been shamelessly gloried in verbal abundance, the
performing tumble of language - those who have especially inspired
me - Dickens and Melville, Joyce and Marquez.' Simon SchamaSir
Simon Schama has been at the forefront of the arts, political
commentary, social analysis and historical study for over forty
years.As a teacher of Art History and an award-winning television
presenter of iconic history-based programming, Simon is equally a
prolific bestselling writer and award-winning columnist for many of
the world's foremost publishers, broadsheet newspapers, periodicals
and magazines. His commissioned subjects over the years have been
numerous and wide ranging - from the music of Tom Waits, to the
works of Sir Quentin Blake, the history of the colour blue, to
discussing what skills an actor needs to create a unique
performance of Falstaff. Schama's tastes are wide-ranging as they
are eloquent, incisive, witty and thought provoking and have
entertained and educated the readers of some of the world's most
respected publications - the Times, the Guardian, the New Yorker,
Harper's Bazaar and Rolling Stone magazine.Wordy is a celebration
of one of the world's foremost writers. This collection of fifty
essays chosen by the man himself stretches across four decades and
is a treasure trove for all those who have a passion for the arts,
politics, food and life.
