One of the most-legendary filmmakers of all time only directed one movie to a Best Picture Oscar…and Rebecca was it. Alfred Hitchcock slickly portrays the brutal treatment of the victimized newlywed Joan Fontaine. She's a target for everyone in the film, especially a vicious housekeeper played by Judith Anderson and a neglectful and possibly homicidal husband played by Laurence Olivier. But did Hitch enjoy what Fontaine's character goes through...or does he sympathize with her? And just how much of a compromise is the censored version of the unseen title character's fate in this stylish, gothic thriller? So throw the 648th edition of Have You Ever Seen into those holes in the sides of your head as we head to Manderley and whisper about what's going on in Rebecca.

En el duodécimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Carlos Balbuena y Víctor Esquirol— hablamos de LA PISCINE (LA PISCINA) de Jacques Deray de 1969 y del remake libremente basado en ella que realizó Luca Guadagnino en 2015, A BIGGER SPLASH (CEGADOS POR EL SOL). En el primer bloque, dedicado a la película de Deray, hablamos de la importancia de su guionista Jean-Claude Carrière y su montaje. También del reparto (que incluye a Jane Birkin y Maurice Ronet) y en detalle del contexto de la relación de Alain Delon y Romy Schneider más allá de las imágenes de ficción del relato; de los vínculos de la cinta con el polar francés, el «thriller» erótico y el concepto de «huis-clos»; y por último, de las conexiones con otras «summer movies» como El nadador (Frank Perry, 1968), Muerte bajo el sol (Guy Hamilton, 1982), Swimming Pool (François Ozon, 2003) o Holiday (Isabella Eklöf, 2018). En la segunda parte, en la que abordamos la producción de Guadagnino, comentamos las diferencias fundamentales entre la aproximación dramática del cineasta italiano en su narrativa y la perspectiva psicológica de la original, así como en su planteamiento formal; también entre las distintas versiones de los personajes que encarnan en este caso Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson y Matthias Schoenaerts. Exploramos además las influencias del director italiano a través de su contenido temático relacionado con el hedonismo, la alienación y el (doble) triángulo amoroso presente, con las referencias al neorrealismo a través de otros títulos como los de la trilogía de la incomunicación de Michelangelo Antonioni (La aventura, La noche, El eclipse) o de Roberto Rossellini (Te querré siempre, Stromboli).
Our dark academia adjacent title for this season is one of Sophie's favourite books. ‘Rebecca' by Daphne du Maurier is a masterclass in Gothic suspense and it's something that we've needed to tackle on the podcast for a very long time. On a trip to the South of France, the shy heroine of Rebecca falls in love with Maxim de Winter, a handsome widower. Although his proposal comes as a surprise, she happily agrees to marry him. But as they arrive at her husband's home, Manderley, a change comes over Maxim, and the young bride is filled with dread. Friendless in the isolated mansion, she realises that she barely knows him. In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow.Not since Jane Eyre has a heroine faced such difficulty with the other woman. An international bestseller that has never gone out of print, Rebecca is the haunting story of a young girl consumed by love and the struggle to find her identity.This is going to be Sarah's first read of this novel and we're so excited to head to Manderley for an adventure into the Gothic - a foundation of dark academia.In this episode we discuss:Villains and sympathising with villainsMaxim's obsession with Mrs De Winter's youth and innocenceWe discuss the power of weather and seasons acting as a character

En el undécimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Carlos Losilla y Fernanda Solórzano— hablamos de LA MUJER PANTERA (CAT PEOPLE), la película de 1942 dirigida por Jacques Tourneur, y de su remake de 1982 a cargo de Paul Schrader, estrenado en España bajo el título de EL BESO DE LA PANTERA. Detallamos los orígenes del productor Val Lewton y su relación con Tourneur, que les llevó a realizar juntos una serie de largometrajes de serie B que trascienden cualquier etiqueta. En la primera parte, analizamos el filme original y sus claves estéticas y visuales, así como los vínculos con el cine negro, el expresionismo alemán, el terror gótico de la Universal y el melodrama. Después recorremos sus puntos de contacto con la brujería y la relevancia de la figura del psiquiatra en el panorama fílmico de la época y en este largometraje, repasando la perspectiva psicológica de su narración. En el segundo bloque, dedicado al remake de Schrader, contrastamos los principales cambios respecto a la original: la pérdida de la ambigüedad y la explícita idea de la sexualidad monstruosa; la subrayada importancia del mito originario y la dualidad de su protagonista; y la elevada importancia de la transformación, que encaja el filme dentro del subgénero del body horror.
Cette nuit jʹai rêvé que je retournais à Manderley. Cette phrase en voix off ouvre la première œuvre américaine dʹAlfred Hitchcock. Ce film, cʹest Rebecca, sorti en 1940, lʹadaptation de Daphné du Maurier. Le roman, énorme succès de librairie, sort en 1938. Tout de suite, cette histoire qui raconte lʹemprise dʹune morte, Rebecca, sur son entourage et sur son mari, fascine. Car celui-ci, veuf peu éploré, se remarie un an après sa mort. Mais la nouvelle épouse, en tous points différentes, a fort à faire pour effacer le souvenir de la défunte dans la demeure sinistre de Manderley, dans la tête du mari et surtout dans le cœur de la gouvernante, Madame Sanders, une horrible bonne femme qui adulait Rebecca. Alors que la guerre débute en Europe, Alfred Hitchcock et sa famille arrivent à Hollywood, dans le sérail du très puissant producteur David O Selznick. David O Selznick est en train de terminer la superproduction dʹAutant en Emporte le vent et cherche à réitérer le même succès, du moins le même engouement avec un nouveau film. Cʹest pourquoi il va chercher pour lʹadaptation dʹun roman anglais un réalisateur anglais talentueux. Mais la manière de travailler dʹHitchcock et celle de Selznick sont aux antipodes. Les relations entre les deux hommes ne seront pas tout repos. Et puis, la guerre inquiète beaucoup Hitchcock à qui lʹon reproche dʹavoir quitté lʹAngleterre. Mais le film se fait quand même avec Joan Fontaine et Laurence Olivier et plait beaucoup au public. Il gagne lʹOscar du meilleur film en 1940 qui va dans la poche, non pas de Hitchcock mais de Selznick. Pour vous raconter tout ça, nous avons à disposition les merveilleux entretiens entre Alfred Hitchcock et François Truffaut, nous avons le livre référence de Donald Spoto, la Face cachée dʹun génie, et plein dʹautres choses. Dès lors plongeons dans lʹunivers de Rebecca, un classique de lʹhistoire du cinéma. REFERENCES En 1962, Alfred Hitchcock accorde un long entretien à François Truffaut. En 1999, cette conversation est diffusée en 25 épisodes sur France Culture. Dans ce neuvième entretien, on verra ce que les films d'Hitchcock empruntent aux contes de fées. https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/les-nuits-de-france-culture/hitchcock-truffaut-9-25-9347365 Donald SPOTO, La face cachée dʹun génie : la vraie vie dʹAlfred Hitchcock, Albin Michel Joan Fontaine on Alfred Hitchcock, Audio Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcTgOJnWWqA

"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again."Thus starts the troubled narrative of Daphne du Maurier's 1938 classic novel. Part mystery story, part Gothic romance, Rebecca manipulates features of both genres to impressive effect. It offers readers a haunting depiction of tormented characters in an eerily prescient country mansion. The novel follows our naive narrator as she tries to make sense of married life in the aristocracy, complete with a controlling housekeeper, destructive family secrets and more repressed baggage than you can comfortably carry!

En el décimo episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Juan Carlos Lemus y Andrea Morán— hablamos de IRMA VEP de Olivier Assayas, tanto del largometraje de 1996 como de la miniserie de 8 episodios basada en ella que el propio director adaptó para televisión en 2022. Abordamos primero la relación de Assayas con el serial cinematográfico LES VAMPIRES (1915-1916) y Louis Feuillade, y contextualizamos a la actriz y cineasta pionera Musidora. En el primer bloque, dedicado a la película, detallamos los orígenes del proyecto a partir de la inspiración que le provocó al director la estrella del cine chino Maggie Cheung y las resonancias metacinematográficas de un reparto que incluye a Jean-Pierre Léaud, Bulle Ogier y Lou Castel. Luego analizamos cómo presenta el desafío de la reinterpretación posmoderna de un filme clásico y la representación del lesbianismo en el cine a través de personajes clave de ambas versiones. En la parte final del programa nos centramos la versión serializada más reciente y los vínculos intertextuales y biográficos de los personajes y de su reparto, con Alicia Vikander y Vincent Macaigne. Comentamos elementos discursivos alrededor de la mercantilización de la imagen del actor y las relaciones entre el cine de autor y la industria. Finalmente, acabamos con los elementos esotéricos y ocultistas que aporta la invocación del nombre del director experimental underground Kenneth Anger dentro de la serie y la dimensión fantasmagórica del cine tan presente en las imágenes de las dos Irma Vep.

Essentiel – Le rendez-vous culture de RCJ – présenté par Sandrine Sebbane. Elle reçoit Tatiana de Rosnay pour son nouveau roman « Poussière blonde » aux éditions Albin Michel À propos du livre : « Poussière blonde ». paru aux éditions Albin Michel " Un roman formidable et passionnant." Le Parisien " Un régal." Psychologies « Pauline avait conscience qu'elle n'était qu'un être ordinaire aspiré dans l'orbite d'une femme qui, elle, n'avait rien d'ordinaire... Être femme de chambre, c'était précisément cela : faire intrusion sans le vouloir dans l'intimité d'autrui, voir le contenu des corbeilles à papier, remarquer les titres des livres, lire les premières phrases des cartes, lettres et petits mots qui traînent. Tout était là, en pâture ; la vie entière de quelqu'un, dissimulée dans une chambre d'hôtel. » Un matin, Pauline est appelée pour nettoyer la suite 614 du Mapes Hotel. Alors qu'elle pense trouver une chambre vide, une femme apparaît, hagarde : Mrs. Arthur Miller, alias Marilyn Monroe, dont le séjour à Reno marque la fin de son mariage avec le célèbre dramaturge et le tournage infernal d'un film à la légende noire, Les Désaxés. Avec pour décor l'immensité aride du désert du Nevada et ses chevaux sauvages, les mustangs, Poussière blonde raconte le choc d'une rencontre inoubliable entre deux femmes que seul le hasard pouvait réunir. Biographie de l'auteur Tatiana de Rosnay est l'auteure d'une vingtaine de livres dont Elle s'appelait Sarah, Manderley forever, Nous irons mieux demain, traduits en 30 langues et à l'origine de nombreuses adaptations cinématographiques. De sa passion pour Marilyn est né Poussière blonde, un roman émouvant et rédempteur.
En el noveno episodio de Manderley —en el que contamos con la participación de Marta Medina— hablamos del hito del terror psicológico de 1968, LA SEMILLA DEL DIABLO de Roman Polanski, que adapta la novela de Ira Levin (Rosemary’s Baby) publicada el año anterior. En el primer bloque exploramos la génesis del proyecto y su adaptación, así como su contexto dentro de la filmografía del cineasta polaco y la leyenda negra asociada a la película. Después abordamos su relación con el terror y sus vínculos con otros títulos del género, además del concepto del «gótico ginecológico». A continuación damos un repaso a los principales miembros de su reparto, entre los que destacan Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes y Ruth Gordon. Para terminar, en la última parte del programa, analizamos temática y discursivamente diversos aspectos del filme relacionados con la religión, el materialismo, la presencia de la violación vinculada a la vida y la obra del director y las implicaciones de la representación de la maternidad traicionada en la que se fundamente su premisa ocultista.

Welcome to season 3! We're kicking off this season with a couple of episodes on our favorite films from the Gothic Romance genre, and who better to start us off than the master of the macabre, Alfred Hitchcock? Rebecca, starring Joan Fontaine and Sir Laurence Olivier, was Hitchcock's first film made in the US and his only Best Picture winner. The film also earned an Oscar for cinematographer George Barnes, whose talents with light, shadow, and camera movement created the moody atmosphere that pervades Rebecca. It was produced by David O. Selznick, who was coming off the huge success of Gone with the Wind and looking to make another big hit. Deeply faithful to its source material, Daphne du Maurier's best-selling novel, the film is a suspenseful cinematic take on classic Gothic Romance literature. The parallels with Bronte's Jane Eyre are numerous, but it's Hitchcock's ability to dramatize psychological terror that brings this movie into the modern age. Come to Manderley again with us, and watch out for Mrs. Danvers!
Per il primo episodio di una nuova sfolgorante stagione, parliamo di uno dei romanzi più famosi di Daphne du Maurier, "Rebecca la prima moglie".

Episode 48: REBECCA Last night, we dreamt we went to Manderley again . . . but we really we just watched a classic movie about it. The 1940 Alfred Hitchcock mystery Rebecca is the subject of our podcast this week. Joan Fontain plays a timid young woman who married a mysterious, wealthy widower, Maxim de Winter, played by Laurence Oliver. When she returns to his famed estate, Manderley, the newly wed must confront long-buried secrets, the memories of a dead wife, and a creepy housekeeper, Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson). Rebecca is based on the best-selling novel by Daphne Du Maurier. It was released in 1940 and won the top prize at the Oscars (TM) for that year. It ranks #22 on our countdown.* Come back again next week as we rumble our way into 1961's West Side Story. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

En el octavo episodio de Manderley —en el que participa Javier J. Valencia— hablamos de la controvertida Palma de Oro en Cannes de 1990, la película CORAZÓN SALVAJE de David Lynch, que está basada en la novela homónima de Barry Gifford (Wild at Heart, de 1989). En la primera parte del programa nos adentramos en su contexto dentro de la filmografía del director y en la génesis del proyecto, para después desgranar su reparto, explorando también el universo de sus personajes. Pasamos luego a abordar los vínculos de este largometraje con los géneros de la road movie, el noir y el melodrama. En el tramo final desentrañamos las influencias estéticas de EL MAGO DE OZ, el sur de Estados Unidos o Nueva Orleans, así como los elementos surrealistas presentes en el filme.
For this episode of the Writing Women Podcast, I researched one of my favourite novels to dig out Daphne du Maurier's incredible use of the floral metaphor. From the frightening, other-worldly rhododenrons to the confines of the rose gardens to the mournful hydrangeas, the flowers in Manderley reflect their inhabitants and give clues to how the novel is going to end from it's opening paragraph.

Chapter 1:What's Jane Eyre about "Jane Eyre" is a novel written by Charlotte Brontë and published in 1847. It tells the story of Jane Eyre, a young orphan girl who experiences various hardships and challenges throughout her life. The novel is a coming-of-age tale that explores themes such as love, social class, morality, and the search for personal independence. The story begins with Jane's childhood, where she lives with her cruel aunt and cousins who disregard her. Eventually, she is sent to Lowood School, a harsh institution where she endures mistreatment but also finds friendship and education. As she grows older, Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets her enigmatic employer, Mr. Rochester. A complex romance develops between Jane and Mr. Rochester, but their relationship faces obstacles due to secrets and societal expectations. Jane must also confront her own moral principles and inner struggle to find her true identity. Throughout the novel, Jane seeks to overcome societal constraints and establish herself as an independent woman, ultimately finding happiness and fulfillment. "Jane Eyre" is renowned for its strong-willed and passionate protagonist, its exploration of women's independence, and its critique of social norms and gender roles prevalent during the Victorian era. It remains a classic work of literature, beloved for its vivid characters, emotional depth, and timeless themes. Chapter 2:Author of the Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte is the author of "Jane Eyre," a captivating novel published in 1847. Bronte, an English novelist and poet, introduced readers to the resilient and independent Jane Eyre. The story follows Jane's journey from her difficult childhood to her adulthood, as she navigates love, hardship, and societal conventions. Bronte skillfully delves into themes of equality, morality, and the pursuit of happiness, showcasing Jane's strength of character and determination. Through her vivid storytelling and powerful writing style, Bronte leaves a lasting impact on readers, solidifying "Jane Eyre" as a timeless classic in literature.

En el séptimo episodio de Manderley —en el que participan Javier Urrutia, Marina Such, Carles Martínez Agenjo y Graciela Oliveira— analizamos las dos adaptaciones audiovisuales de la novela de Joan Lindsay de 1967, PICNIC EN HANGING ROCK. En el primer bloque del programa tratamos los orígenes del relato y de la autora, para luego adentrarnos en la ambigüedad, la mística de la naturaleza y las referencias pictóricas de la versión cinematográfica de Peter Weir de 1975, salida del contexto de la Nueva Ola del cine australiano. En la segunda parte del programa abordamos la reciente miniserie para televisión de 2018 y sus influencias estéticas e intereses temáticos, mucho más fiel a la fuente literaria pero también con sus grandes digresiones respecto al material original, con la guionista Beatrix Christian y la directora Larysa Kondracki como sus principales responsables creativas.
Inauguramos la segunda temporada de Manderley con este sexto episodio sorpresa. Un programa especial realizado en directo desde el Teatro del Foment el pasado 5 de noviembre, durante la celebración de la 41ª edición del Festival de Cine de Terror de Molins de Rei. En esta ocasión exploramos —junto a nuestro amigo Carles Martínez Agenjo— la adaptación musical de Frank Oz de LA TIENDA DE LOS HORRORES de 1986, basada tanto en la obra de Broadway de Alan Menken y Howard Ashman como en la película original de Roger Corman, THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS de 1960. Y a través de esta producción planteamos un breve repaso a los códigos estéticos, vínculos discursivos y conexiones temáticas del subgénero del musical de terror a partir de filmes como PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (Brian De Palma, 1974), THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (Jim Sharman, 1975), DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN'S DIARY (Guy Maddin, 2002) y SWEENEY TODD (Tim Burton, 2007).

En el quinto programa de Manderley tratamos a fondo —junto a Lluís Rueda y Edna Campos— las dos versiones de SUSPIRIA. En el primer tramo del programa analizamos la película original de Dario Argento de 1977, concebida y coguionizada en colaboración con Daria Nicolodi (a quien dedicamos este programa en el que sería su 72º aniversario), y que daba inicio a la Trilogia de las Tres Madres (con INFERNO en 1980 y LA TERZA MADRE de 2007). También a una sugerente mitología que recoge la cinta de 2018 de Luca Guadagnino escrita por David Kajganich, de la que hablamos en la parte final del episodio, que usa de base esta obra de culto explotando de forma más directa sus temas y expandiéndolos con la introducción del contexto histórico y político del Berlín occidental durante los sucesos del Otoño alemán.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community Historical Events 1815 On this day, Mary Russell Mitford wrote about the changing times in a letter to her friend, Sir William Elford, English banker, politician, and amateur artist. Our grandmothers, when about to make a beau-pot (A large ornamental vase for cut flowers.), proceeded, I fancy, much as their gardeners when clipping a yew hedge or laying out a parterre. Every stalk and stem was in its place; tulip answered tulip, and peony stared at peony. Even a rebellious leaf was reduced to order, and the huge bouquet spread its tremendous width as flat, as stiff, and almost as ugly as its fair framer's painted fan. We, their granddaughters, throw our honeysuckles and posies into their vases with little other care than to produce the grace of nature by its carelessness and profusion. And why should we not...? 1896 Death of Nora Perry, American poet, newspaper correspondent, and writer. In her poem, What May Be, Nora wrote, When the days are longer, longer, And the sun shines stronger, stronger, And the winds cease blowing, blowing, And the winter's chance of snowing Is lost in springtime weather. Here's an excerpt from her poem, The Coming of Spring. All this changing tint, This whispering stir and hint Of bud and bloom and wing, Is the coming of the spring. So, silently but swift, Above the wintry drift, The long days gain and gain, Until on hill and plain— Once more, and yet once more, Returning as before, We see the bloom of birth Make young again the earth 1906 Birth of Enid Annenberg Haupt, American publisher and philanthropist. The president of the New York Botanical Garden called Enid, The greatest patron American horticulture has ever known. Enid was one of eight children; her parents, Sadie and Moses, had one son and seven daughters. Her father was the founder of a large publishing empire. Enid followed in his footsteps and became an heiress to the large family fortune. Enid's first marriage ended in divorce. Her second marriage to Ira Haupt launched her philanthropic activities and introduced her to the world of gardening. When they got engaged, Ira gave Enid a cymbidium orchid. Enid was immediately enthralled by it. She told Ira that for her wedding present from him, she would be very happy with a gift of 13 cymbidium orchids. Enid's brother, Walter, put her in charge of the magazine Seventeen in 1953. During her tenure, Seventeen magazine was more popular than Glamor and twice as popular as Mademoiselle. At one point, more than half of the teenage girls in the United States were reading Seventeen magazine. Enid ran the magazine until 1970. When Enid died in 2005, she had donated more than $140 million to charities. Her favorite charities involved gardening. This is how Enid became known as "the fairy godmother of American horticulture" and "the patron saint of public gardens." One of Enid's most significant gifts was to the New York Botanical Garden. Over her lifetime, Enid gave them over $34 million – $5 million of which was dedicated to restoring the stunning Victorian glass greenhouse now called the Enid Haupt Conservancy. Without Enid, the greenhouse would have been demolished. After she retired from Seventeen magazine, Enid learned that the Soviet Union was considering purchasing River Farm, the 27-acre property once owned by George Washington as part of his Mount Vernon estate. The news was abhorrent to Enid. In 1973, she donated a million dollars to the American Horticultural Society to buy the property with the stipulation that it would remain open to the public. In November 2020, the American Horticultural Society attempted to sell River Farm for $32.9 million. AHS Board Chair Terry Hayes argued that selling River Farm was the only way to effectively carry out its national mission of “connecting people with plants and to help all Americans learn about sustainable gardening.” The move caused a rift on the board after five board members — Skipp Calvert, Tim Conlon, Holly Shimizu, Marcia Zech, and Laura Dowling — argued that it was "not only morally and ethically wrong, but... fraught with serious legal issues.” A year later, in the fall of 2021, the AHS officially took River Farm off the market. The AHS board had shrunk to the five board members who had fought to keep the historic property. In a statement, they said River Farm would remain as the permanent headquarters of the AHS and as a green space open to the public in honor of Enid Annenberg Haupt. 1823 On this day, William Bartram, American botanist, ornithologist, natural historian, and explorer, wrote in his diary that there were, numerous tribes of small birds, feeding on the aphids on the apple, pear trees - towhe buntings building their nests in the garden. Sharon White summarizes William Bartram's May garden life in her book Vanished Gardens: Finding Nature in Philadelphia (2011). May was misty sometimes with a morning wind and cruel with cold rains for a week "injurious to vegitation and to the farmers. Wheat just begining to ear appears to be blasted in many instances," and young birds drowned in their nests on the ground. Now and then Bartram's notations look different, smaller script, less detail. In the last year he kept the diary his writing scrawls across one page as if his hand slipped. The green twig whortleberry is in flower on May 6 in 1802, and the next May he records that a bullfrog swallowed: large mole instantly. That May there was hard frost on the seventh that killed the young shoots of trees and shrubs. Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Multifarious Mr. Banks by Toby Musgrave This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is From Botany Bay to Kew, The Natural Historian Who Shaped the World. Toby Musgrave is a plant and garden historian, independent scholar, and consultant. He is the author or coauthor of eighteen books. By the way, a multifarious person has many sides or different qualities, and you can see for yourself that Banks was a tremendous personal force in Toby's introduction: Sir Joseph Banks was only twenty-five years old when in 1768 he convinced both the prestigious Royal Society and the bureaucratic Admiralty that he should join HMS Endeavour as expedition natural historian. He personally paid a fortune toundertake the three-year voyage led by James Cook, and en route became the first European to make an extensive study of the natural history and anthropology of Tahiti,' New Zealand and Australia. He is said to have had an affair with the 'queen of Tahiti' and, upon his return, he jilted his fiancée. Later, as a close personal friend of King George III, he persuaded the monarch that he was the man to develop the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew. Under Banks's leadership it became the world's leading botanic garden, a position it still holds today. This book is 386 pages of the biography of Joseph Banks and all he accomplished during his incredible life of adventure and botany.

Botanic Spark 1907 Birth of the English author and playwright Daphne du Maurier (“Mor-ee-aya”)(books by this author), who was born in London. She was the middle daughter of a well-to-do family of creative bohemian artists and writers. Her father was a famous actor and a favorite of James Barrie - the author of Peter Pan. Daphne's writing inspired Alfred Hitchcock - especially her novels Rebecca, Jamaica Inn, and her short story, The Birds. In 1938 Daphne published her popular book, Rebecca. It has never gone out of print. During the pandemic in 2020, Netflix released their movie version of Rebecca starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, and Kristin Scott Thomas. In Rebecca, Daphne writes about the beautiful azaleas that grow on the estate at Manderley. And she says that the blooms were used to make a perfume for its late mistress. Yet, most azalea growers know that this is likely an example of artistic license since most evergreen azaleas have little to no fragrance. That said, some native deciduous azaleas can be very fragrant. In the opening pages of Rebecca, Daphne's narrator vividly describes the wild and wooly garden of Manderley: I saw that the garden had obeyed the jungle law, even as the woods had done. The rhododendrons stood fifty feet high, twisted and entwined with bracken, and they had entered into alien marriage with a host of nameless shrubs, poor, bastard thing that clung about their roots as though conscious of their spurious origin. A lilac had mated with a copper beech, and to bind them yet more closely to one another, the malevolent ivy, always an enemy to grace, had thrown her tendrils about the pair and made them prisoners. Daphne du Maurier incorporated gardens into many of her books. Her daughters recall that their mother loved flowers and flower arranging. Their home was always filled with flowers. Yet, in her book, The King's General, as in Rebecca, the garden can feel like a dangerous place at times. I was a tiny child again at Radford, my uncle's home, and he was walking me through the glass houses in the gardens. There was one flower, an orchid, that grew alone; it was the color of pale ivory, with one little vein of crimson running through the petals. The scent filled the house, honeyed and sickly sweet. It was the loveliest flower I had ever seen. I stretched out my hand to stroke the soft velvet sheen, and swiftly my uncle pulled me by the shoulder. ‘Don't touch it, child. The stem is poisonous.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community Historical Events 1904 Birth of Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist. Educated in Madrid, Salvador was a son of Catalonia, and he never lost his love for the beauty of his homeland. Early in his career, Salvador gravitated toward surrealism. By 1929, Salvador Dali was regarded as a leading figure in the art form. Like Sigmund Freud, Salvador Dalí used the landscape to metaphor the human mind. He once said about the coastline of his beloved Catalonia, I personify the living core of this landscape. Today, two museums are devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, Spain, and the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. And in 2020, the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, presented Salvador Dalí: Gardens of the Mind. The exhibit's centerpiece was Flordalí, a fantastically-colored series of flower lithographs from 1968. In Flordali, Salvador created imaginary surrealist enhancements to favorite blossoms. He made Dahlia unicorns, which feature a twisted horn in the middle of the bloom. Lilium musicum has vinyl records and sheet music for petals. Pisum sensuale is a sensory plant with fingers with painted nails and voluptuous lips. Panseé (Viola cogitans) is a self-portrait with pansies for the eyes and mouth. 1907 On this day, the American botanist Nathaniel Lord Britton was in Nantucket preparing for a lecture on plant protection. Nathaniel had brought along fifty colored lantern slides from the Van Brunt collection to use in his presentation. Nathaniel and his wife co-founded the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York. Nathaniel's time in Nantucket was brief - only for a day - but he wrote these observations in a letter about his trip. [On Nantucket] The mayflower is the most abundant of spring wildflowers, carpeting the moors on the south side of the island and lending a rich, spicy fragrance to the ocean breezes that sweep over these exposed tracts. It is in less danger from picking than from the surface fires, which are common occurrences in spring. The later blooming wildflowers suffer more or less at the hands of summer tourists, but I was glad to observe that the residents of Nantucket as a whole are keenly alive to the importance of preserving the natural beauties of the island and carefully guard the localities for many rare plants, especially the Scotch heather and the two European heaths (Erica cinerea and E. tetralix) which occur there. 1923 On this day, a schoolyard garden reported outside of Lochness gave the following update, As sheep are constantly breaking into the garden work has been stopped till the walls are rendered sheep-proof. This little entry was discovered by the modern-day owner of the property Katharine Stewart, and she shared it in her delightful month by month garden book called A Garden in the Hills (2006). Katharine reflected on the journal entry regarding the sheep and wrote, I know exactly what he meant. More than sixty years later, the sheep, the more agile variety, are still sometimes managing to leap over the wall, where the superimposed netting has given way. That can mean goodbye to all the summer lettuce and the winter greens, not to mention the precious flowering plants and all the work that went into producing them. The little school in the Scottish highlands closed in 1958. A few years later, Katharine and her husband, Sam, bought the property known as the croft at Abriachan near Loch Ness. There, Katharine began her writing. Reflecting on her first days in the garden at the croft, Katharine wrote, When we arrived, wild raspberries, willowherb, and sweet cicely had largely taken over. To bees and butterflies and to many kinds of birds, this was paradise! For us, it held all the thrill of uncharted territory. Every day a fresh discovery was made. Even now, I come on surprises each summer. Digging [has] revealed many other interesting things-worn-out toys, pieces of pottery, a pile of school slates from a dump against the top wall, evidently discarded when jotters came in-and, most interesting of all, several 'scrapers' dating from prehistoric times. Meanwhile, I often imagine my predecessors here looking on the same outline of hills, the same scoop of the burn in the hollow, listening to the same sounds of lark and owl, the bark of deer, and many more long gone-the howl of wolf, maybe the growl of bear. The heather would have been their late summer delight, making drinks of tea or ale, thatching for their roofs, and kindling for their fires. Sometimes envy them the simplicity of their lives, though the hardships must have been great. They didn't have a Christmas to celebrate, but they knew all about the winter solstice, and they must have been happy to see the bright berries on the holly, as we do today. Late in life, Katharine Stewart went on to become a teacher and then her town's postmistress. She died in 2013 and is survived by her daughter, Hilda. 1940 Birth of Margaret Visser, South African-born writer, and broadcaster who lives in Toronto, Paris, and southwest France. Margaret writes about history and anthropology and the mythology of everyday life. She once wrote, Salt is the only rock directly consumed by man. It corrodes but preserves, desiccates but is wrested from the water. It has fascinated man for thousands of years not only as a substance he prized and was willing to labour to obtain but also as a generator of poetic and of mythic meaning. The contradictions it embodies only intensify its power and its links with experience of the sacred.

Patricia Esteban Erlés (Zaragoza, España. 1972) dice que desde niña percibía la muerte como algo de su día a día y le encantaba jugar en el cementerio. Con una narrativa que explora lo abyecto, el terror, el horror y lo macabro, es una de las voces más interesantes en el cuento y el microrelato. Ha ganado diversos premios y su último libro es Ni aquí ni en ningún otro lugar (Páginas de espuma, 2021). La conversación es de lo más interesante en donde nos cuenta de su método de escritura y los temas que la intrigan y perturban, como la "falta de memoria histórica."
