ALTERED STATES (English Edition)

By: Paddy Chayefsky

Edward Jessup, a young psycho-physiologist, experiments with different states of consciousness, obsessed with an addiction to truth and knowledge. He injects himself with psychedelic drugs, lies locked in an isolation tank and experiences all the stages of pre-human consciousness until finally terrible changes take place with him: Jessup also physically transforms into a pre-human being. His thirst for knowledge drives him into ever new, increasingly irreversible transformations. Only the horror when his body begins to dissolve into pure energy brings him back to human bonds... Paddy Chayefsky (January 29, 1923 – August 1, 1981), one of the most important US dramatists, wrote a breath-taking, equally philosophical shocker with his debut novel. In 1980, British director Ken Russell adapted the novel based on Paddy Chayefsky's screenplay - starring: William Hurt, Blair Brown and Drew Barrymore.

Middle of the Night

A Comedy in Three Acts

By: Paddy Chayefsky

Middle of the Night, which is billed as "a love story," is the tale of a widower, aged 53, who falls in love with a blonde, aged 24. Mr. Chayesfsky has written it in a minor key, deliberately holding down the emotion and laying emphasis on the homeliness of the material. Everyone is intentionally average - that manufacturer and his daughter and sister; the blonde and her mother, sister and impulsive husband. The reactions to a love affair between a middle-aged man and a girl who is younger than his daughter are average, and the dialogue is composed of average talk. Toward his material Mr. Chayefsky has a kind of O. Henry sense of familiarity. Apparently it is part of his design to underwrite the plot. -- from page 3.

The Popular Arts

By: Stuart Hall,Paddy Whannel

When it first appeared in 1964, Stuart Hall and Paddy Whannel's The Popular Arts opened up an almost unprecedented field of analysis and inquiry into contemporary popular culture. Counter to the prevailing views of the time, Hall and Whannel recognized popular culture's social importance and considered it worthy of serious study. In their analysis of everything from Westerns and the novels of Mickey Spillane, Ian Fleming, and Raymond Chandler to jazz, advertising, and the television industry, they were guided by the belief that studying popular culture demanded an ethical evaluation of the text and full attention to its properties. In so doing, they raised questions about the relation of culture to society and the politics of taste and judgment in ways that continue to shape cultural studies. Long out of print, this landmark text highlights the development of Hall's theoretical and methodological approach while adding a greater understanding of his work. This edition also includes a new introduction by Richard Dyer, who contextualizes The Popular Arts within the history of cultural studies and outlines its impact and enduring legacy.

ALTERED STATES

By: Paddy Chayefsky

Edward Jessup, ein junger Psychophysiologe, experimentiert mit verschiedenen Bewusstseinszuständen, besessen von der Sucht nach Wahrheit und Erkenntnis. Er injiziert sich psychedelische Drogen, liegt eingeschlossen in einem Isolationstank und erlebt alle Stadien vormenschlicher Bewusstseinsstufen, bis schließlich schreckliche Veränderungen mit ihm vorgehen: Jessup verwandelt sich auch physisch in ein vormenschliches Wesen. Sein Wissensdurst treibt ihn in immer neue, zunehmend unumkehrbare Verwandlungen hinein. Erst das Entsetzen, als sich sein Körper in reine Energie aufzulösen beginnt, bringt ihn zurück zu menschlichen Bindungen. Paddy Chayefsky, einer der bedeutendsten US-amerikanischen Dramatiker, schrieb mit seinem Debüt-Roman einen atemberaubenden, gleichsam philosophischen Schocker. Im Jahr 1980 verfilmte der britische Regisseur Ken Russell den Roman auf der Grundlage des Drehbuches von Paddy Chayefsky – in den Hauptrollen: William Hurt, Blair Brown und Drew Barrymore.
