"Lino Micciche, in the '. . . et Circenses' section of his // cinema Italiano degli anni '
60 (1975) presents the same argument, rather more subtly: 'Whereas in the
classic Westerns, the point of reference on which to construct a myth is provided
by the historic past, in the Italian Western, the point of reference is that same myth
(a cinematic myth) seen in the grim light of the present.' Given the basically '
abstract' nature of thi ..."

"One day in February 1747 Horace Walpole's cat Selima fell into a large Chinese porcelain goldfish tub and drowned. Walpole was naturally upset (though he actually preferred dogs) and his friend the poet Thomas Gray wrote an elegy to console him. Not that it was much of a consolation, because its tone was more that of gentle mockery, exaggerating the accident into a tragedy with a moral lesson: 'All that glisters is not gold.'The Ode on ..."

Wells, whose worldwide reputation as a thinker had persuaded its producer, Alexander Korda, to offer him a contract giving him virtually total control over the project.

"We owe 1902's The Hound of the Baskervilles to Arthur Conan Doyle's good friend Fletcher "Bobbles" Robinson, who took him to visit some scary English moors and prehistoric ruins, and told him marvelous local legends about escaped prisoners and a 17th-century aristocrat who fell afoul of the family dog. Doyle transmogrified the legend: generations ago, a hound of hell tore out the throat of devilish Hugo Baskerville on the moonlit moor. ..."
