Paperback. New. Paperback. Discover the true genius behind historys greatest madmen. From Dr. Frankenstein to Dr. Jekyll, the image of the mad scientist surrounded by glass vials, copper coils, and electrical apparatus remains a popular fixture. In films and fiction, hes comically misguided, tragically misunderstood, or pathologically evil. But the origins of this stereotype can be found in the sometimes-eccentric real life men and women who challenged our view of the world and broke new scientific frontiers. They Called Me Mad recounts the amazing true stories of such historical luminaries as Archimedes, the calculator of pi and creator of the worlds first death ray; Isaac Newton, the worlds first great scientist and the last great alchemist; Nikola Tesla, who built the precursors of robots, fluorescent lighting, and particle beam weapons before the turn of the twentieth century-and more.

Oblong., Ray Freiman & Company, 1967, London: Solar Books, 2008. Surrealist cinema, as epitomised by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel’s Un Chien Andalou and L’Age d’Or, was a knife through the very heart of the establishment; a scorpionic, scatological black joke galvanized by the irrational, the uncanny, and the spectre of de Sade. The Age Of Gold revisits these two seminal films, the process of collaborative psychic automatism which led to their creation, and the scandal caused by their themes and images of sex, mutilation, sadism, murder and excremental mania. The Age Of Gold also documents the experimental cinematic theories of Antonin Artaud, founder of the revolutionary Theatre of Cruelty, and the filming of his Surrealist scenario The Seashell And The Clergyman; traces the precursors and parallels of Surrealist cinema in avant-garde and Dadaist film including the work of Hans Richter, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray and notes the filmic legacy of the movement in subsequent decades. The Age Of Gold is illustrated by a host of striking images, and clearly shows how Surrealist film finally erupted from the throes of experimental cinema as well as from the art, texts and manifestos of the Surrealist Movement itself. This new expanded edition includes a brand new chapter on Dalí and film. "The age of gold is an infinite conflagration." Georges Bataille.. First Edition. Paperback.
