• Great Writers | DVD | (24/10/2011) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Explore the stories behind seven of the finest writers who ever put pen to paper and whose lives themselves could provide the narrative to a bestseller. Remember H.G. Wells, who was hailed as a visionary and prophet during his lifetime and will be remembered as the man who invented tomorrow. Explore the mind of James Joyce, an author who was condemned as a satanic blasphemer and exiled from his native Ireland. Discover why Edgar Allan Poe has been painted as a tormented alcoholic and drug addict when the truth is that Poe was both blessed and cursed by his genius and learn the truth behind one of the superstars of the nineteenth century, Charles Dickens, an author who was driven by the demons of a dark, shame-filled past. We also cover the story of Ernest Hemingway, often quoted as the most important writer of the English language since Shakespeare, bringing the troubled writer to life as no programme has done before. One of the greatest fantasy writers of all time is then remembered — Jules Verne — who took us deep beneath the sea and to the far ends of the world through his mesmerising prose. Finally, we focus on Mark Twain, one of the most important American authors of all time, but whose greatest work was at first banned by some schools and libraries and overlooked by the critics. Join 'Biography Channel' as we prove that truth really is stranger than fiction in this collection of 'Great Writers'.
