The Black Eden: 'Wonderfully evocative and atmospheric.' WILLIAM BOYD

Product Information

His firsthand understanding of the injuries that can occur from one misstep in gymnastics is why he believes Biles made the right decision to step down. There is a hint of American-style ambition in the reach and intensity of this book and its focus on the workplace; Kelly’s rendering of occupations such as welding or underwater exploration, or his depiction of the prison-like conditions aboard the earliest rigs, is achieved so convincingly you could almost believe he has done these jobs himself. Seeing an opportunity, four white land developers and their wives organized the Idlewild Resort Company (IRC). Erastus and Flora Branch, Adelbert and Isabelle Branch (from nearby White Cloud, Michigan), Wilbur M. and Mayme Lemon, and A.E. and Modolin Wright (of Chicago), organized IRC during the pre-World War I era. To secure land rights, Erastus Branch built a cabin, homesteaded the land for three years, and eventually obtained the title to the land through his Branch, Anderson & Tyrrell Real Estate Company, which became the central focus of the resort community.

If you want a first-rate political documentary about oil exploitation you could hardly do better than Sweet Crude (2009), Sandy Cioffi’s brave study of corruption in the Niger Delta. Werner Herzog, though, belongs in a league of his own, and Lessons of Darkness marks his move to becoming as acclaimed a documentarian as a maker of dramas. The film’s context is clear enough: at the death of the first Gulf War of 1991, as the US-led coalition expelled Iraqi forces from Kuwait, Saddam Hussein’s retreating troops deliberately blew up oil wells and refineries and set lakes ablaze, making an environmental disaster and a truly hellish task for firefighters. This was something for cameras to capture; but Herzog decided swiftly it was “an event which only the poet, and not the TV documentary filmmaker, could preserve for our memories.” In interviews he has gone so far as to characterise Lessons as science fiction: an image-poem with operatic music and otherworldly voiceover, in which the landscape is made strange, like nothing on earth, and one could see it as the point of view of an alien come among us. Herzog took a fair bit of critical flak for “aestheticising” a real catastrophe. But he argued that his movie would endure as a kind of “requiem for an uninhabitable planet… the planet that we ourselves have destroyed.” In that sense Lessons of Darkness has the force of prophecy about it.

The discovery of oil is the fulcrum of the novel, impacting everyone for good and for ill. Kelly takes many cues from history, but what’s most impressive about this assured, deeply researched novel is how it captures male friendship: its competitiveness; the undemonstrative, indirect ways men express fondness; as well as the grudging camaraderie among workmates, who might not connect otherwise. Known for novels that weave politics, the workplace and social concerns - The Crusaders was set in deprived 1990s Newcastle, The Knives was about a Tory Home Secretary at Westminster – Kelly has a compulsion, relatively rare in novelists, to understand what goes on at what you might call the coalface: the contribution of manual and skilled workers to the fortunes of corporate giants, small private companies, and the political sphere in which both must navigate.

The 1988 catastrophe on the North Sea platform Piper Alpha, where an explosion took the lives of 167 men in all, will never be forgotten, in Aberdeen most dearly. Oil stories, then, lend themselves to the genre of the disaster movie, though they draw on reserves of human tragedy, and they don’t incline to consoling endings. Deepwater Horizon dramatises the 2010 disaster that cost 11 deaths and the biggest marine oil spill in history following an explosion on a rig in the Gulf of Mexico leased by BP. Mark Wahlberg plays the technician who smells a rat in how the company are testing without due assessment of risk. Kurt Russell is the veteran manager who takes it up with company man John Malkovich, to no avail. (This big-budget movie is as swingeing in its scorn for Big Corporate as any anti-capitalist tract.) For those who wonder how on earth oil gets safely conveyed from a subsea position, this movie has much to teach about the importance of drilling mud, correct well-sealing and blowout prevention. But then, nerve-strainingly, it shows us how all of that can go wrong: we know hell will break loose and, when it comes, director Peter Berg makes us feel the mayhem and the terror. The Tarnished encounters Gurranq in the Bestial Sanctum in Caelid. The beast, dressed in the robes of a clergyman, gives them an eye which trembles in the presence of Deathroot, [21] and instructs them to bring him any Deathroot they find in return for bestial incantations. [22] Despite consuming all the Deathroot the Tarnished could bring him, Gurranq is not sated, yet he realises that he has done all he can for the land and departs, with his hunger as his only companion.
