'The best book on the subject I've read. Quite brilliant' Tony Jordan, creator/writer, Life on Mars, HustleWe all love stories. But why do we tell them? And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Here he takes us on a journey to the heart of storytelling, revealing that there truly is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that echoes the fairytale journey into the woods and, like any great art, comes from deep within. From ancient myths to big-budget blockbusters, he gets to the root of the stories that are all around us, every day.'Marvellous' Julian Fellowes 'Terrifyingly clever ... Packed with intelligent argument' Evening Standard 'The most important book about scriptwriting since William Goldman's Adventures in the Screen Trade' Peter Bowker, writer, Blackpool, Occupation, Eric and Ernie

In this interdisciplinary work, philosophers from different specialisms connect with the notion of the wild today and interrogate how it is mediated through the culture of the Anthropocene. They make use of empirical material like specific artworks, films and other cultural works related to the term 'wild' to consider the aesthetic experience of nature, focusing on the untamed, the boundless, the unwieldy, or the unpredictable; in other words, aspects of nature that are mediated by culture. This book maps out the wide range of ways in which we experience the wildness of nature aesthetically, relating both to immediate experience as well as to experience mediated through cultural expression. A variety of subjects are relevant in this context, including aesthetics, art history, theology, human geography, film studies, and architecture. A theme that is pursued throughout the book is the wild in connection with ecology and its experience of nature as both a constructive and destructive force.

Jeg har egentlig aldri villet fortelle denne historien. Jeg vil ikke at noen skal synes synd på meg. Men nå som jeg har fått opplevelsene på avstand føles det riktig å dele mer av hvem jeg er og hva jeg kommer fra.Hvis jeg kunne velge, ville jeg blitt plassert i fosterhjem den dagen jeg ble født. Det høres kanskje helt sjukt ut, men oppveksten min unner jeg virkelig ingen. Det var et helvete. Da jeg var 11 år, var begeret så til de grader overfylt at jeg satte meg på trappa utenfor hos barnevernet, for å be om et nytt sted å bo. Siden ble det for vanskelig i fosterhjemmet, og jeg fikk flytte for meg selv som 17-åring. Diagnose på den tiden: anoreksi.Fram til da hadde livet vært en lang rekke av vold, frykt, bekymringsmeldinger, narkotikasalg, barnevernsmøter, mishandling, krisehjem, blåveiser, selvmordstanker, indre drama og voksne mennesker som sviktet - igjen og igjen. Heldigvis mikset med noen gode personer og perioder underveis.I denne boken forteller jeg om menneskene, hendelsene og tankene som jeg ikke har klart å fortrenge opp i gjennom. Dette er grunnen til at jeg er meg. Uten Shirog, ingen Isabel. Shit, jeg får fremdeles frysninger av å høre det navnet.
