Sommario/riassunto |
|
Doctor Who is one of the most enduring British programs over the last 50 years and its success has translated to the U.S., where it has been shown for decades, first on PBS stations and currently on BBC America. This book looks at how the writers and producers of Doctor Who have adapted-and will no doubt continue to do so-various texts to create many episodes throughout the show's history. |

The classic novel that inspired Apocalypse NowA European trading concern hires Marlow to pilot a boat up the Congo River in search of Kurtz-a first-class ivory agent and the manager of the company's highly profitable Inner Station-who is believed to be on his deathbed. With a handful of pilgrims as his passengers and a crew of cannibals, Marlow steams his way into the African interior. The terrifying discovery he makes at the end of his journey and the horrors he witnesses along the way have thrilled and disturbed readers for more than a century. A searing indictment of imperialism and a haunt |
