Nu, dlja nachala, sleduet skazat, chto eto Stiven Fraj. Dlja tekh, kto chital chto-to - ili vsjo - iz Fraja, o stile i podache mozhno bolshe nichego ne rasskazyvat. Eta kniga igriva, zhivopisna, bogata na epitety, balagurista i pedantichna v detaljakh. I kak vsegda, Fraj vljublen v to, o chem pishet, on ne skatyvaetsja v klounadu i komikovanie, khotja v takoj khrestomatijnoj, kak grecheskie mify, teme, est vse vozmozhnosti ustroit poshlovatoe shapito. Ni poshlovatosti, ni shapito v etoj knige net. Kto-to skazhet, deskat, zachem nam stotyschpitsotyj pereskaz grecheskikh mifov i skazanij. Vo-pervykh, starye istorii zhivut v pereskazakh, t.e. ne kamenejut i ne prevraschajutsja v dogmu. Vo-vtorykh, grecheskaja mifologija bogata na material, kotoryj vplot do vtoroj poloviny KHKh veka dazhe u vospevatelej antichnosti - khudozhnikov, skulptorov, poetov - poroj vyzyval devichju stydlivost. Sejchas nakonets prishlo vremja po-vzroslomu, s interesom i zdorOvo vosprinimat mify drevnikh grekov, bez kupjur i otvedennykh v storonu glaz. I komu kak ne Stivenu Fraju sdelat eto? V-tretikh, Fraj vovse ne pytaetsja tolkovat pereskazyvaemye im istorii. I ne potomu, chto u nego net mnenija o nikh - on prosto chestno pereskazyvaet, a kopatsja v smyslakh predostavljaet antropologam i filosofam. V-chetvertykh, da, vse eti sjuzhety mozhno najti v sotnjakh knig, posvjaschennykh Drevnej Gretsii. No Fraj zanovo sostavljaet iz nikh buket, ego kniga - eto svoego roda ikebana. Na tsvety, vetki, palki i vazy mozhno gljadet v tsvetochnom magazine po otdelnosti, no chelovechestvo po-prezhnemu sostavljaet i pokupaet bukety. Chitat etu knigu, pomimo ochevidnoj razvlekatelnoj i otdykhatelnoj tsennosti, stoit i radi togo, chtoby strjakhnut pyl s detskikh vospominanij o Kune i ego "Legendakh i mifakh Drevnej Gretsii", privesti v porjadok familnye dreva bogov i geroev, navernjaka davno pereputavshiesja u vas v golove, a takzhe vspomnit mifogennuju geografiju Gretsii, gde chto nakhodilos, kto kuda begal i gde prjatalsja. Kniga Fraja - eto prekrasnyj sposob popast v Drevnjuju Gretsiju. A zaodno i kak sleduet razvlechsja, okunajas v stil Fraja, udivljajas, uzhasajas i smejas s nim vmeste. Tsitaty iz knigi:Ares - Mars u rimljan - byl, konechno, nedalek, fantasticheski tup i lishen voobrazhenija, ibo, kak vsem izvestno, vojna - delo duratskoe. U ljubvi i vojny, Venery i Marsa, vsegda voznikaet silnoe rodstvo. Nikto ne ponimaet tolkom, s chego by, no v popytki najti otvet vbukhana prorva deneg. Sledom Geja posetila Mnemosinu, ta uvlechenno staralas ostatsja neproiznosimoj. Kazalas ochen poverkhnostnym, glupym i dremuchim suschestvom, nichego ne znavshim, a ponimavshim esche menshe. Guljaja po okrestnostjam, Germes ne vedal, kak daleko zabralsja, no na kakom-to pole otkrylsja emu chudesnyj vid stada snezhno-belykh zhivotnykh, chto schipali travu i tikhonko mychali v lunnom svete. - O! - zacharovanno vzdokhnul on. - Kakie chudnye mumuchki. - Pust i byl chrezvychajno razvit, detskie slovechki on esche ne prevzoshel. Germes smotrel na korov, korovy smotreli na Germesa. Gorjuja iz-za smerti ljubimogo slugi, Gera vzjala sotnju zorkikh Argusovykh glaz i pomestila ikh na khvost krajne bestolkovoj, rastrepannoj staroj kuritsy, preobraziv ee v to, chto my nyne nabljudaem kak pavlina - vot tak sovremennaja gordaja, krasochnaja i spesivaja ptitsa naveki stala assotsiirovatsja s boginej Geroj.
Step into Stephen Fry’s richly colourful world of magic, mayhem, monsters and maniacal gods in MYTHOS: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY . . . No one loves and quarrels, desires and deceives as boldly or brilliantly as Greek gods and goddesses. In Stephen Fry's vivid retelling, we gaze in wonder as wise Athena is born from the cracking open of the great head of Zeus and follow doomed Persephone into the dark and lonely realm of the Underworld. We shiver in fear when Pandora opens her jar of evil torments and watch with joy as the legendary love affair between Eros and Psyche unfolds. Mythos: The Illustrated Story captures these extraordinary myths for our modern age in striking colour - in all their dazzling and deeply human relevance.
Sir Stanley Wells is one of the world's greatest authorities on William Shakespeare. Here he brings a lifetime of learning and reflection to bear on some of the most tantalising questions about the poet and dramatist that there are. How did he think, feel, and work? What were his relationships like? What did he believe about death? What made him laugh? This freshly thought and immensely engaging study wrestles with fundamental debates concerning Shakespeare's personality and life. The mysteries of how Shakespeare lived, whom and how he loved, how he worked, how he produced some of the greatest and most abidingly popular works in the history of world literature and drama, have fascinated readers for centuries. This concise, crystalline book conjures illuminating insights to reveal Shakespeare as he was. Wells brings the writer and dramatist alive, in all his fascinating humanity, for readers of today.
THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERWhen Douglas Adams died in 2001, he left behind 60 boxes full of notebooks, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches and even poems. In 42, compiled by Douglas’s long-time collaborator Kevin Jon Davies, hundreds of these personal artefacts appear in print for the very first time. Douglas was as much a thinker as he was a writer, and his artefacts reveal how his deep fascination with technology led to ideas which were far ahead of their time: a convention speech envisioning the modern smartphone, with all the information in the world living at our fingertips; sheets of notes predicting the advent of electronic books; journal entries from his forays into home computing – it is a matter of legend that Douglas bought the very first Mac in the UK; musings on how the internet would disrupt the CD-Rom industry, among others.42 also features archival material charting Douglas’s school days through Cambridge, Footlights, collaborations with Graham Chapman, and early scribbles from the development of Doctor Who, Hitchhiker’s and Dirk Gently. Alongside details of his most celebrated works are projects that never came to fruition, including the pilot for radio programme They’ll Never Play That on the Radio and a space-inspired theme park ride. Douglas’s personal papers prove that the greatest ideas come from the fleeting thoughts that collide in our own imagination, and offer a captivating insight into the mind of one of the twentieth century’s greatest thinkers and most enduring storytellers.

Stephen Fry Kreeka müütide sarja kolmas raamat. Jumalad on sündinud ja võimsaks saanud, maailma on ilmunud ka surelikud kangelased, kelle vägiteod ei jää jumalate omadele palju alla. Kuid tulevikus terendab midagi sünget: ahnus, armastus ja verejanu tõukavad maailma selle seni kõige suurema konflikti poole. Juba on sündinud naine, kelle pale saadab Trooja poole teele tuhat laeva, ja juba ootab kusagil üks üsna süütu väljanägemisega õun ... Kreeka müüdid on kaunid, verised, romantilised, siivutud ja lõputult traagilised. Tuntud koomiku Stephen Fry jutustatuna saavad need veelgi enam värve ja muutuvad veelgi haaravamaks.

Andy Gotts has spent the last ten years putting together this beautiful ICONS book. Filled with the most iconic faces from movies, cinema and fashion. This title is accompanied by the ICONS exhibition which will be featured in the world-renowned Maddox Galleries. “His forté is the absolutely direct black and white portrait, full-on, sometimes grainy and remorseless in the detailing of complexion, sometimes mischievously witty and unexpected, always completely unforgettable.” – Stephen Fry “Andy Gotts is a genius of his craft” – Tom Hanks In 1990 Andy Gotts, then a young photography student at Norfolk College of Arts and Technology, approached Stephen Fry at an event to ask him for a portrait. That brief meeting led to an even briefer photographic session (90 seconds), during which Andy realised he had discovered his photographic approach: “I cannot remember what I said to provoke the expressions and reactions I had in these 10 frames, but that was it… BOOM! … my eureka moment. It was like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders and I knew celebrity portraits were the way for me.” Andy’s unique portrait style – rapidly taken and often face-on – is admired for capturing the charisma of famed sitters such as Kylie Minogue, Meryl Streep, Harrison Ford and Kirk Douglas. Andy’s chatty, quick-fire approach led Paul Newman to nickname him ‘One Shot Gotts’. The photographs that Andy creates are naturalistic, eschewing the seductive technological traps of airbrushing and heavy styling. Andy Gotts was awarded an MBE in 2012 for his contribution to photography.
Troja. Det mest eventyrlige kongerige i hele verden. Byen, der voksede frem og faldt, ikke én, men to gange. Det er Zeus, gudernes konge, der sætter krigen i gang, da han beder den trojanske prins Paris om at udpege den smukkeste gudinde af alle. Valget står mellem Afrodite, Hera og Athena. For at vinde bestikker Afrodite Paris og lover ham til gengæld verdens smukkeste kvinde, Helena. Der er bare ét problem: Helena er gift med den græske konge, Menelaos. Grækerne sender tusind skibe mod Troja, som de derpå belejrer i ti lange og meget blodige år. Den trojanske krig er forfærdelig og brutal med ofre på begge sider. Grækerne kan ikke besejre trojanerne – og scenen er sat for den ældste og mest storslåede af alle fortællinger, hvor frygtindgydende lidenskaber møder de ædleste idealer og mest nedrige listigheder. Stephen Fry er prisbelønnet komiker, skuespiller, programvært og filminstruktør. Han har været vært i over 180 episoder af det britiske underholdningsprogram QI og har indlæst samtlige Harry Potter-romaner som lydbøger. Han er forfatter til flere bøger, og hans genfortælling af de græske myter i MYTHOS, HELTE og nu TROJA er alle tre Sunday Times-bestsellere. "Hvis man tog sig en skraber i oldtidskundskab, er man gået glip af meget. Fordi Antikken var for fed. Herfra kommer nogle af vores civilisations bedste fortællinger, største dramaer og mest gribende nederlag. Heldigvis er det ikke for sent at få indhentet, og Frys trilogi er et oplagt sted at starte." Berlingske, 5 stjerner "På godt og ondt er Stephen Fry et vandfald af fortælleglæde." Weekendavisen
