Michael Turner Bücher

Kanada, Anfang der achtziger Jahre: Ein ehemaliger Pornoregisseur erzählt von seiner Jugend in Vancouver. Schon als Teenager war er ein Außenseiter, dem die verlogenen Moralvorstellungen der Erwachsenen genauso zuwider waren wie die oberflächlichen Interessen seiner Schulkameraden. In der High School lernt er früh den Umgang mit der Super-8-Kamera. Als er eines Tages heimlich die extravaganten Liebesspiele seiner Nachbarn filmt und den Kurzfilm in Umlauf bringt, wird er schlagartig in den avantgardistischen Kunstkreisen der Stadt bekannt und beschließt, ins Pornogeschäft einzusteigen. Spielerisch leicht und doch eigenwillig erzählt Michael Turner die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes, der erwachsen wurde, als er noch ein Kind war, und einer Epoche, die zu Ende ging, noch bevor sie richtig begann. Das Gedicht des Pornographen ist ein hochspannender, tiefgründiger und provozierender Roman, der tradierte Werte und Ideen kritisch beleuchtet und auf ebenso humorvolle wie eindringliche Weise ein Sittengemälde der siebziger Jahre zeichnet.

The private home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert was more than just a refuge from court life: it gave the couple the chance to indulge their interests and express their tastes. It is truly their creation, from the replica Swiss Cottage where the children learnt housekeeping and gardening to the extraordinary Durbar Room, a tribute to the Queen's love of India. This new guidebook includes a tour and history of the house, with reconstruction drawings and historical photographs.
