SECOND EDITION
JASON SOLOMONS

He was Deputy Film Critic for the Observer and the Guardian for 15 years, and currently writes weekly film reviews for Mail on Sunday newspaper. Solomons presents In Conversation, which is licensed for broadcast in the US, UK, Canada, Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil and France. He has interviewed many of the greats of modern cinema, including Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, the Coen Brothers, George Clooney, Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes.
The quintessential guide to Woody Allen’s lifetime of work, this updated edition examines each of Allen’s movies, from when he vented his first neuroses in 1965 with What’s New Pussycat, by way of Oscar winners Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters, all the way to his latest work Wonder Wheel, and includes his foray into long-form television, Crisis in Six Scenes. Woody Allen has enjoyed a career unlike any other writer or director in Hollywood. The impact of his comedy and his psychoanalysis of the modern world have been hugely influential affecting popular culture profoundly. The book is filled with key images of his films, as well as lots of behind-thescenes content, and material from the author’s multiple interviews with the director. As Woody said about the book: “It’s a very pretty book, very pretty. I have it in my office. I saw that I was overpraised on the cover. I can’t match up to those words, and that just leads to disappointment. So thanks for the book, I’m not going to read it.” As self-critical as ever – and with an Oscar worthy material new film scheduled for the end of 2017 – Woody Allen remains a force in filmmaking.

THE TUMULTUOUS LIVES OF HENRY VIII’S SISTERS This is the enthralling story of the lives of two remarkable women: women who have been defined by history as Henry VIII’s sisters, but who were strong, fierce and sensual characters in their own right. Illuminating and groundbreaking, Sisters to the King not only reveals two extraordinary women, but radically alters our view of Tudor history. In the Tudor age, Margaret and Mary were more important personalities than Henry’s wives. Margaret became Queen of Scotland aged thirteen; Mary was married off to the ageing King of France. Both risked their heads, and challenged convention, by choosing their second husbands for love. Theirs is a story of passion, defiance, betrayal and heartbreak.

A LIFE OF CONTRASTS One of the most controversial royal figures of the twentieth century, Princess Margaret was admired as well as vilified for most of her adult life. Described by the designer and hotelier Anouska Hempel as “Witty, wicked and wonderful,” this charismatic princess not only brought colour and sex appeal into the Royal Family, but did much to help bring the monarchy and its attitudes into the modern world. Adored younger daughter of King George VI and only sister of Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret was a prewar princess whose world was hugely circumscribed by the strictures and protocol of another age, leading to conflict and misunderstanding in both her private and public life. In his biography, Princess Margaret: A Life of Contrasts, Christopher Warwick redresses the balance. Whilst giving the full, insider story of the Princess’s many love affairs, he also looks at her tireless work for charity, breaking many taboos along the way – Princess Margaret, not Diana, was the first Royal to champion HIV and AIDS awareness.

THE ERA OF INGENUITY THAT SPARKED SCIENCE AND FICTION Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was conceived against the backdrop of rapid change in the scientific world. Frankenstein and the Birth of Science offers an engrossing insight into the world of science in late eighteenth– and early nineteenth–century Europe, through the prism of the seminal science fiction novel. Illustrated with line drawings and colour plates, it reveals how the monster was conceived, suggests the real-life basis for Victor Frankenstein and describes in vivid detail the experiments that might have led to the Creature’s birth. It also looks at incarnations of the monster since the book was published entirely lost.” Waldman is far more considered, acknowledging the and modern interpretations of the “mad value of the groundwork laid by the alchemists, but extolling the virtues of the brave new world of “modern chemistry”: scientist”, as well as looking ahead to The modern masters . . . penetrate into the recesses permanent bionic limbs, implants and of nature . . . They have acquired new and almost unlimited powers; they can command the thunders other wonders. Frankenstein and the Birth of of heaven, mimic the earthquake, and even mock the invisible world with its own shadows. Science looks back at science’s progress and Inspired by this vision, Frankenstein vows to master the modern science in order to achieve the ancient dreams of the alchemists – forward to its potential. mastery over creation, perhaps over death itself.

ary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at a time of excitement and optimism about science in general, and chemistry in particular. Chemistry represented the cutting edge of early-nineteenth-century science: a youthful field of enquiry, taking its first steps among the more established sciences such as physics and mathematics. But the novel aspects of chemistry imperfectly concealed its dark, almost shameful past as the art of alchemy; an inheritance of murky mysticism and shady occultism. Shelley very deliberately frames her central character at the intersection of these two worlds of chemistry; he is to be both a paragon of the new chemistry and an initiate of the old ways. His youth is spent “greedily imbibing” the works of the alchemists such as Paracelsus and Albertus Magnus: “fancies a thousand years old and as musty as they are ancient”. Frankenstein reflects on how he “retrod the steps of knowledge along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists”.
In Frankenstein, then, are embodied the tensions of the new chemical era, between its ancient baggage and its modern aspirations.
TO MOCK THE INVISIBLE WORLD Arriving in the university town of Ingolstadt to advance his learning and be introduced to the world of natural philosophy, Frankenstein encounters two faces of the new chemistry, professors Krempe and Waldman. Krempe dismisses the alchemists as purveyors of “exploded systems and useless names”, scolding Frankenstein that “every instant that you have wasted on those books is utterly and

UNE, 1816. Mary Wollstonecraft, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and their friends shiver through an unseasonably damp season by Lake Geneva. Mary recalled that it was “cold and rainy”, while Byron later captured in verse how the “bright sun was extinguish’d” and the “Morn came and went – and came, and brought no day”. This dismal period would become known as the “year without a summer”; for Mary and her friends, forced to stay indoors and entertain themselves with literary parlour games and readings of ghost stories, it would inspire a burst of Gothic creativity unparalleled in literary history, with Frankenstein just one among several unholy offspring. Why was the season so dismal? Why did crops fail in New England, Ireland and many other parts of the world, bringing famine and epidemics?
DARKNESS FALLS Climatologists believe that the long period of unusually low temperatures, high rainfall and low sunshine throughout 1816 was driven by a cataclysmic event that took place on the far side of the world a year earlier: the eruption of Mount Tambora. This eruption was the most violent volcanic eruption of historical times, and the most explosive in the last 10,000 years. In April 1815, Tambora, a 13,000 feet-high mountain on the Indonesian island of Sumbawa, exploded, hurling around 100 km³ of rock and ash into the sky, vaporizing the communities on the island and sending tsunamis racing outwards to devastate surrounding areas.

FROM 1218 TO THE PRESENT DAY Bestselling author Erik Durschmied traces China’s passage through a thousand years of war, colonial adventurism and internecine politics, and seeks to understand what this huge and unstoppable country is today – as well as what the future holds for a fragile world in which China is the latest economic and military superpower. Until the Communist revolution some seven decades ago, the West saw China as a world closed in on itself. The earliest Chinese called it the Kingdom of the Middle, believing themselves to be at the centre of the world. Centuries of trade with Europeans, drawn eastward by China’s unique skill with silk and porcelain, only reinforced the image of an ancient dragon enfolded in a sleep of ages. Long the world’s most populous country, China has always flexed its muscles beyond its borders. Catastrophic clashes with other countries are a thread woven into the fabric of the nation’s history. Today China stands on the threshold of global economic domination, a true rival to the United States: in a generation or so it will be twice as wealthy as the US, Britain, France, Germany and Italy combined.
ERIK DURSCHMIED is a professor of military history, a writer and a former reporter.
