![]() ![]() I liked seeing how different the final book was from both the initial draft and screenplays written by people other than Rand. ![]() My favorite two described the major revisions Rand made to the Fountainhead, and the process of turning it into a movie. I especially liked the essays on the history of The Fountainhead because I learned a lot of objective facts from those. It scratched that itch a lot better than reading reviews online! I think I'm going to try looking for meta books more often.Īll the essays in this book seemed extremely well-researched and thoughtful. After reading The Fountainhead, I got frustrated as usual, and then happened to find this book and decided to try it. I also usually get frustrated that most reviews spend a lot of time summarizing the book, which I'm not interested in. ![]() When I finish a book, I'm always eager to learn what other people thought of it, so I usually spend some time reading reviews of it online. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I am pleased to meet you now,” said Cinderella with a bow. “I will ask her to dance.” And he walked over to Cinderella. “There is something about her,” said the Prince to himself.

Yet after he said “hello,” one by one, he could find nothing more to say. “Look around you! You could not ask for finer maidens than these.” “Why do you have that sad look on your face?” the Queen said to her son. Over at the ball, the Prince did not know what to think. And there were her driver and four horses before her, waiting. "Did that even happen?" But there she stood in a fine gown, and with a golden band in her hair. “My work is done.” And with that, the Fairy Godmother was gone.Ĭinderella looked around her. “Then I must be sure to leave the ball before midnight!” said Cinderella.

By that, I mean, he uses the frames and structure of the text and visuals to make space for the sound of the libretto, melodies and accompaniment in the reader’s head. What Russell also manages to do with these works is to advance the narratives, offering a supremely dramatic graphic rendering, yet still enabling the ‘music’ to come through. Craig Russell’s passion for and understanding of great dramatic, musical and literary works fuels his illustrative vision and blends together the stamp of composers, performers, librettists, playwrights and directors. It”s the opera played during The Godfather, Part 3 after all. Here is Cavalleria Rusticana re-written by Russell and his collaborators as a kind of homage to Coppola’s Godfather series. Here is Pelléas and Melisande taken from Maeterlink’s play. Opera as an artform is, oftentimes, already an adaptation of something else, anyway. ![]() They are not so much adaptations as embellishments, or ornamentations, of the archetypal, epic, mythic, biblical and historical tales that also happen to have formed the libretti for so many famous operas. ‘Opera Adaptations’ as a title is somewhat misleading for this collection. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, in a twist that Mr Adams can hardly have expected when, in 1978, he first put pen to paper, the World Wide Web gave him a chance to create something like the real thing, at least for earth-bound travellers ( Douglas Adams died of a heart attack on May 11th while exercising in a gym. ![]() ![]() The idea went through several iterations, first as a radio series, then television, then a sequence of books which, though described as a trilogy, ran to five volumes. (They slip through wormholes in space to biro heaven when nobody is looking.) The second plays over the end credits and is in the style of smooth jazz. It even found room for an explanation of where ballpoint pens vanish to. The first version of the song 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish' is a Broadway-style, lively version sung by the dolphins before they leave Earth. Instead of giants, pygmies and super-intelligent horses, it was populated by bug-eyed monsters who use poetry as a form of torture, creatures whose chromosomes are so unstable that they evolve several times a day, and super-intelligent shades of the colour blue. It was a Swiftian satire for the late 20th century. Such people would, of course, need a guide to their travels: a compendium of useful information with that most useful of all injunctions, “Don't Panic”, written on the front cover in large, friendly letters. He was in a field at night (most versions of the legend place this field in Austria), looking at the stars, when the thought came to him that there might be people hitchhiking between those stars on spaceships.
