Download or read book The Dragon Knight written by James a Owen and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen years ago, HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS, the first book in my illustrated Young Adult Fantasy series The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica was published. It became a bestseller, has been published in more than twenty languages, and still remains in print in hardcover to this day. Six other books in the series were published: THE SEARCH FOR THE RED DRAGON; THE INDIGO KING; THE SHADOW DRAGONS; THE DRAGON'S APPRENTICE; THE DRAGONS OF WINTER; and the final volume, THE FIRST DRAGON, which concluded the story I began in Book One......but it wasn't the last Imaginarium Geographica story I had to tell.I had written a novella about one of my most popular characters, Don Quixote, and how he came to be trapped in the Keep of Time, but only the prologue was ever published. I had also written several short stories which were intended to become picture books at one point, before being set aside. And when I was working on the screenplay of HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS for Warner Brothers, I discovered there was more to share about my trio of heroes, John, Jack, and Charles, than I had ever realized.For most of a decade, readers eagerly awaited Autumn and the publication of a new Imaginarium Geographica book, which many of them had often received as Christmas presents. My publisher wasn't interested in doing another book any time soon, but I've successfully published a number of projects through my own imprint, Coppervale Press, and I couldn't bear to let another Christmas go by without giving my readers a new book (and maybe I also really wanted to do a book with an orange cover). So I pulled out all of the unused stories and created an ALL NEW framing sequence that tied them all together... and that's when I realized there would be an eighth book: THE DRAGON KNIGHT.This is a standalone book, readable at either end of the seven book series, or at any point in between. It consists of stories of many of the characters and places my readers already know and love, including "The Littlest Knight and the Last Dragon," "Mr. Tummeler's Grand Day Out," and more, as well as the TRUE story of how John, Jack, and Charles became Caretakers, and the long-awaited novella about Don Quixote and the Keep of Time, "The Thin Man and the Queen of Stars." All with new illustrations by me and presented in a beautiful new edition that will match the existing set perfectly.
Book Synopsis Masters of the Grotesque by : Schuy R. Weishaar
Download or read book Masters of the Grotesque written by Schuy R. Weishaar and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2012-10-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts and theories surrounding the aesthetic category of the grotesque are explored in this book by pursuing their employment in the films of American auteurs Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, the Coen Brothers and David Lynch. The author argues that interpreting these directors' films through the lens of the grotesque allows us1to situate both the auteurs and the films within a long history of the grotesque in art and aesthetics. This cultural tradition effectively subsumes the contribution of any artist or1genre that intersects it but also affords the artist or genre--the auteur and the genre filmmaker--a pantheon and an abundance of images, themes, and motifs through which he1or she can subversively represent the world and our place in it.

Book excerpt: Restoring the Archipelago of Dreams comes with a precious price in this final volume of the critically acclaimed Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series. To save the world, Charles, the Grail Child Rose Dyson, and Edmund McGee must travel deep into the past to discover the identity of the mythical Architect of the Keep of Time. However, even if that tower can be restored, the Archipelago of Dreams is still missing. Somehow, the first Dragon must be found to restore the lands to what they once were. But fulfilling their mission may be giving the Echthroi exactly what they wanted all along… In this chilling conclusion to the critically acclaimed Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series, the Caretakers will have to trust those who were once enemies, defeat the worst within themselves, and discover what may be the most important truth of all: where there is hope, and will, and courage, redemption is always possible.

Book Synopsis A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam by : Sabine Planka
Download or read book A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam written by Sabine Planka and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Critical Companion to Terry Gilliam provides a fresh, up-to-date exploration of the director’s films and artistic practices, ranging from his first film Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) to his recently released and latest film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018). This volume presents Gilliam as a director whose films weave together an avant-garde cinematic style, imaginative exaggeration, and social critique. Consequently, while his films can seem artistically chaotic and thus have the effect of frustrating and upsetting the viewer, the essays in this volume show that this is part of a very disciplined creative plan to achieve the defamiliarization of various accepted notions of human and social life.
Book Synopsis Write What You Don't Know by : Julian Hoxter
Download or read book Write What You Don't Know written by Julian Hoxter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Write What You Don't Know is a friendly manual for aspiring screenwriters. It encourages you to move beyond your comfort zones in search of stories. We all write what we know - how could we not? Writing what you don't know and doing it in an informed and imaginative way is what makes the process worthwhile. Hoxter draws on his wealth of experience teaching young film students to offer help with every aspect of the writing process, including how we come up with ideas in the first place. Light hearted and full of insight into the roundabout way film students approach their scripts, it also discusses the important issues like the difference between stories and plots and what your characters should be doing in the middle of act two. Write What You Don't Know contains examples and case studies from a wide range of movies, both mainstream and alternative such as The Virgin Spring, Die Hard, The Ipcress File, For The Birds, (500) Days of Summer, Juno, Up In The Air, Knocked Up and Brick.

It seems to have been written by their friend, Hugo Dyson! But when they rush to warn him, they find that Hugo has already been abducted by fierce creatures called the Un-Men, who have mistaken him for the third Caretaker, Charles. And in that moment, the world begins to change… The Frontier which separates our world from the Archipelago of Dreams has fallen. Dark and terrible beasts roam throughout England. No one can be summoned from the Archipelago. And worse, their mentor and ally Bert seems to have forgotten them entirely! The only hope of restoring order from the chaos lies on a forgotten island - where a time travel device left by Jules Verne must be used to race through history itself - from the Bronze Age, to the fall of Troy and the founding of the Silver Throne. And in that single night, John and Jack discover that the only way to save their friend and stop the chaos destroying the world is to solve a two-thousand year-old mystery: Who is the Cartographer?

Download or read book Shadows of Being written by Marko Uršič and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the phenomena of shadows, meant in a broader sense as “symbolic forms”. The shadow is a less real, “surface” replica of some more real form. From the Platonic point of view, empirical objects are “shadows of ideas”, while from the modern “natural” point of view, shadows are seen and conceived primarily as “weaker” replicas of bodies, which give evidence of their material reality. In the first three essays here, several topics from the Ancient Egypt and Greece to modern arts and sciences are considered, while in the fourth essay, the contemporary virtual reality, cyber-technology and the internet as our parallel “shadow world” are discussed from the philosophical point of view. The main and innovative point of this book is the connection between the meaning of shadows in philosophy and art on the one hand, and their role in modern science and technology on the other. The book will appeal to a wide span of readers, from academic circles, students, and artists, to the general reader interested in the humanities, especially in philosophy and art.
Book Synopsis British Fantasy Cinema by : Carolyn Rickards
Download or read book British Fantasy Cinema written by Carolyn Rickards and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a fresh perspective on British fantasy film Combines a methodological approach of textual analysis, critical discourse and production histories to expand current knowledge and appreciation of British fantasy film Promotes new avenues for film studies by investigating a comprehensive range of British film titles previously disputed or overlooked in existing academic scholarship Informs a more general understanding which is focused on contemporary fantasy but contributes to a broader, historical assessment of the fantastic within British cinema In the period since 2001, cinema has witnessed a notable influx in fantasy film. Many constitute adaptations from British fantasy literature, often created and produced in the UK, and showcase domestic talent both in front and behind the screen. This includes massive box office hits such as the Harry Potter series (2001 – 2011) through to smaller scale and independent endeavours like Nanny McPhee (2005), MirrorMask (2005) and Franklyn (2008). However, such films have received minimal critical attention as British fantasy films. The reasons for this absence are manifold; leaving many films contested, ignored and omitted from established canons. This book re-addresses prevailing scholarship on the fantasy genre, national film production and representation on screen, providing readers with a revised appraisal of the contemporary film landscape. It delivers a fresh perspective across a broad range of films which all embrace the fantastic within British cinema.
