Next Train's Gone!
Next Train's Gone!
Field, Amanda J
¥19.52
In the 1930s, British film producers and critics championed the idea of 'quality' pictures - thoughtful, intelligent films that would project a particular and positive view of Britain. The result was to drive a wedge between 'national' cinema (which reflected middle-class values) and 'popular' cinema (which reflected the working-class values of the majority of cinema audiences). 'Popular' became a term of abuse, particularly directed at comedies, whose roots often lay in music-hall. A very different image of Britain emerges from these comedies, as this insightful analysis of two Will Hay films - Oh Mr Porter (1937) and Ask a Policeman (1939) reveals.

Gambler
Dostoyevsky, Fyodor
¥19.52
Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote 'The Gambler' after losing most of his money by gambling and entering into a hazardous contract with F. T. Stellovsky that if he did not deliver a novel of 12 or more signatures by 1 November 1866, Stellovsky would acquire the right to publish Dostoevsky's works for nine years without any compensation to the writer. The book is therefore a very accurate and personal portrayal of the allure of gambling, and the damage it can do.
