New Releases by Justin Scott

Considerada la novela náutica más leída de la historia después de Moby Dick y una de las mejores obras de suspense jamás publicadas, El cazador de barcos es un relato de amor y venganza en alta mar. Escrita con una prosa vibrante y sustentada en un profundo conocimiento del mundo marítimo, Justin Scott —autor superventas del New York Times— nos ofrece una narración inolvidable sobre la obsesión, la justicia y la lucha de un hombre contra una fuerza descomunal. Durante una travesía en su velero, Peter Hardin y su esposa Carolyn son embestidos por un superpetrolero gigantesco, el Leviathan. Carolyn desaparece en las profundidades del Atlántico; Peter, contra todo pronóstico, sobrevive. Impulsado por el dolor y la impotencia, Hardin emprende entonces una búsqueda implacable que lo llevará a surcar los océanos del mundo, desde las costas de Cornualles hasta las aguas cubiertas de petróleo del golfo Pérsico, y a cruzar las titánicas tormentas del Atlántico sur. El cazador de barcos es la historia de un hombre dispuesto a encontrar en el mar la justicia que le ha sido negada en tierra. Lo que dice la crítica: «Con una pizca de Melville, Scott retrata a sus personajes obsesionados con el mismo estilo con que describe sus embarcaciones». Time Magazine «Como alguien que ha navegado tanto en grandes buques mercantes como en yates, puedo dar fe de que El cazador de barcos capta ambos mundos de forma brillante y, además, es una soberbia historia marítima». Christopher Buckley «Impresionante. Absolutamente absorbente. Una historia de venganza maravillosa, tensa y magistralmente contada, sobre el mar y las fuerzas oscuras que pueden moldear la condición humana». Robert Ludlum, autor de la trilogía de Jason Bourne «Una de las mejores novelas de aventuras náuticas». Yachting Magazine

Two rival queens. History''s greatest playwright. And a deadly plot for the crown. London, 1600. With no legitimate heir to Queen Elizabeth''s throne, and no clear successor with her modern vision of a civilization that thrives in peace and diversity, England is in a supremely perilous moment. Elizabeth''s foes understand the power of a poet''s voice to shape popular opinion, and force esteemed playwright William Shakespeare to write a script detailing the history of Queen Elizabeth and the catholic Mary Queen of Scots that will tumble the nation into civil war. Faced with a terrible dilemma, Will must navigate a dangerous path through the corridors of the wealthy, the refuse-filled warrens of London and the byzantine world of Elizabethan politics as he tries to save both his family and his own legacy.

Isaac Bell è concentrato su questa decisione quando la Commissione federale lo incarica di investigare sulla Standard Oil, la compagnia petrolifera fondata da John D. Rockefeller che sta fatturando incassi record, riuscendo a sbaragliare qualsiasi forma di concorrenza grazie a colpi di fortuna molto… sospetti. Il miglior detective dell’agenzia investigativa Van Dorn sa che qualcosa non torna, ma quando inizia a indagare il caso assume subito una svolta mortale.

Il cecchino misterioso lascia una scia di morte ovunque passi – omicidi, sparatorie, avvelenamenti, curiosi incidenti e grandi esplosioni che coinvolgono le raffinerie indipendenti nelle regioni della «febbre del petrolio» –, una scia che attira Isaac Bell e la sua voglia di assicurarlo alla legge. In un inseguimento serratissimo tra Kansas e Texas, dall’enclave dei magnati di New York alla Russia dei giacimenti petroliferi di Baku, devastati dalla guerra nel Mar Caspio, Isaac Bell non molla il suo obiettivo. E, tornato in America, si prepara per lo scontro finale. Il più esplosivo di tutti.

Isaac Bell may be on the hunt for the greatest monster of all time in this riveting action-adventure novel from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Clive Cussler. The year is 1911. Chief Investigator Isaac Bell of the Van Dorn Detective Agency has had many extraordinary cases before. But none quite like this. Hired to find a young woman named Anna Pape who ran away from home to become an actress, Bell gets a shock when her murdered body turns up instead. Vowing to bring the killer to justice, he begins a manhunt which leads him into increasingly more alarming territory. Anna Pape was not alone in her fate—petite young blond women like Anna are being murdered in cities across America. And the pattern goes beyond the physical resemblance of the victims—there are disturbing familiarities about the killings themselves that send a chill through even a man as experienced with evil as Bell. If he is right about his fears, then he is on the trail of one of the greatest monsters of his time.

"In his explanation of 2001: A Space Odyssey’s concluding “Stargate” sequence, Stanley Kubrick privileges its psychological and affective aspects, stating that “[the concluding sequence’s] meaning has to be found on a sort of psychological level rather than in a specific literal interpretation” (qtd. in Grant 81-82). Expanded beyond this film and into Kubrick’s corpus altogether, his films largely display an emphasis on the psychological impacts they have over spectators. More specifically, Kubrick’s films have been described as cold cinematic texts that resist emotional engagement (Kolker, “Rage for Order” 60; Freer 114). Consider 2001’s Stargate sequence --in which a series of chromatic images appear onscreen at random with no obvious narrative purpose or explanation --as exemplary of the emotional estrangement underlying Kubrick’s films. Conventional narrative cinema provides clear-cut narratives that allow méconnaissance (or misrecognition) to occur in the cinema, during which spectators immerse themselves into the film’s narrative verisimilitude; but Kubrick’s films resist this by thwarting such expectations --as is evident in the convoluted Stargate sequence --to create an alienating aesthetic unique to the Kubrickian corpus. Psychologically, Kubrick’s cinema alienates spectators from identifying with his narratives, which consequently thwarts emotional identification from spectators. In order to theorize this trend from a psychoanalytical perspective, I explore the convergence of two conflicting Lacanian film theories --an earlier version which resists méconnaissance and the latter version which alternatively requests that theorists use misrecognition to observe moments when their immersion is disrupted --occurring throughout Kubrick’s films. There is a marked discordance between conventional narrative structures and Kubrick’s deconstruction of them, one which shall be explored in this thesis to illustrate the various ways in which Kubrick’s alienating aesthetic is manifested, particularly in A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut, and 2001: A Space Odyssey"-- from abstract.
