Bøger af Richard Bright

In the autumn of 1925 a woman was admitted to a sanatorium in Norway suffering from acute Erotomania. The Woman On The Shore, a novella written in the form of a personal journal, tells the story of how she came to be there. This volume also contains the full, unabridged shooting script for A Net To Hold The Moon, a one-act play originally commissioned by a theater company but never performed theatrically and later adapted for T.V.

Although a modern piece, written in the form of a cyclical poem, The Devil's Almanack, with its audacious word-play and subversive imagery, belongs firmly in the tradition of the classic 1930's/40's experiments of Dada and Surrealism and is an affectionate homage to those two movements.

It began with the mother of all hangovers and an old friend at his front door. An old friend, bearing bad news out of the blue and an invitation to a mystery that he simply couldn't refuse.

Told in a series of self-contained vignettes, the novella, Ship Of Fools, is an exploration of unrequited love. It is full of loss and longing and the vignettes, some beautiful and some disturbing, with their references to dreams and rituals and magic and myth, tell the story through a kaleidoscope of shifting perceptions that question the nature of reality and illusion.

Richard Bright (1789-1858), pioneer in research on kidney disease, fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Physician-Extraordinary to Queen Victoria, describes his observations while travelling in Eastern Europe in this book, first published in 1818. He had set off to witness the closing stages of the Congress of Vienna in 1814, and having spent the winter observing the various heads of state, courtiers and politicians, he decided to travel further east, to areas little visited or understood by the British. Although full of factual details and statistics, the book also pays attention to subjects such as the importance of agriculture in an area little touched as yet by the Industrial Revolution, and Gypsies, who greatly intrigued Bright. An appendix contains ten pieces covering a variety of topics, including the coronation of Joseph I as King of Hungary in 1687, and a comparative vocabulary of Gypsy words.
