Following shortly after publication of John Worth's brilliant evocation of the Victorian era East End of London in his novel 'The Making of a Man', this latest offering from the same writer is a fast moving Holmesian novella. It will engage all who enjoyed the first novel.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Transition Completed
¥58.76
Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Fifth Estate, 12 Years a Slave, August: Osage County, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug-these would be milestones in most actors' entire career. For Benedict Cumberbatch, roles in these films are merely a year's additions to his already-vast resume. 2013 proved to be the final step in Cumberbatch's transition from respected working actor to bona fide worldwide celebrity and recipient of BAFTA Los Angeles' Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year. Like its predecessor, Benedict Cumberbatch, In Transition (MX Publishing, 2013), Benedict Cumberbatch, Transition Completed: Films, Fame, Fans explores the nature of Cumberbatch's fame and fandom while analysing his most recent roles. This in-depth performance biography does more than critique the actor's radio, stage, film, and television performances-especially his star turn in the long-awaited yet controversial third series of Sherlock. It also analyses how and why the actor's work is so memorable in each role, a perspective unique to this performance biography. Cumberbatch's role in popular culture, as much as his acting in multiple media, is well worth such scrutiny to illustrate that Benedict Cumberbatch represents both the best of acting and of the power of celebrity.

Cultura romn se poate felicita, n zilele i anii notri un pic buimaci, unde Nordul valorilor pare a se fi rtcit undeva, n alte secole sau pe alte continente, c posed un cercettor, un profesor i un ins capabil de o asemenea cuprindere a unor platforme culturale att de auguste i, aparent, contradictorii. Unul din puinii supravieuitori ai acelei Mitteleuropa sapieniale, acei ndrgostii fr pricin de misterele artei i ale gndului, unul dintre acei, rari azi i n Europa, ce pesc uor peste granie istorice i mentale, rigide pentru atia, cu o graie, cu o uurin ce ne poate nela asupra acelui depozit afund de suferin i travaliu, de tenacitate unic pe care numai prezena unui ideal poate s-o explice.
