Produktbeschreibung

This collection of entertaining and enlightening writings from the famous comedian, neurologist, and intellectual is ';dazzling from beginning to end' (Oliver Sacks). Actor, doctor, sculptor, TV personality, director of both film and operaSir Jonathan Miller's career covers a vast range of artistic and intellectual pursuits. But common amongst all of these trades is Miller's exceptional talent for writing about them. On Further Reflection gathers together Miller's best and most memorable excerpts, articles and essays written over the last six decades. The collection features his reflections on the famous comedy revue Beyond the Fringe, which he cowrote and performed with Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, and Alan Bennett; as well as fascinating explorations of everything from mesmerism to Dickens; neurology to art history; and opera to epistemology. In these pages, Miller contemplates how we interact with our own bodies, and how television changed in the wake of the Kennedy assassination. For each extract he provides a small introduction, placing the writing in the context of his work in the arts and sciences. A celebration of one of our finest minds, On Further Reflection brings together the best of Jonathan Miller for the first time in one collection.
