Modern literary texts often emerge from psychological crises, or seek to capture fictional crises, but once a writer’s reputation is marked by a block myth —a negative formulation that a writer has somehow failed to live up to popular or critical standards of production—literary and philosophical problems can take on the appearance of psychological calamity. Block myths take flight because they are marketable; an established author’s work increases in cultural value when it is perceived to be scarce. Such myths rarely represent reality, however, and most American authors who are perceived to have encountered a significant block, including Joseph Mitchell, Henry Roth, and Ralph Ellison, published a considerable amount of influential work in their lifetimes. These writers moreover shared an uncanny interest in documenting precarious matters of social and political morality, often disregarding conventions of craft and narrative coherence.

He was one of the most influential musicians of the last century and inspired an entire generation. An influential teacher, a brilliant conductor, a fine composer and an accomplished pianist – a man who lived five lives and who exuded passion from every pore. In addition to his role as conductor, composer, educator and performing artist, Bernstein was one of the early pioneers in bringing the arts to television. As such, he became one of the most internationally recognized musical personalities in the world. Leonard Bernstein, who died in 1990, would have celebrated his 100th birthday on August 25th 2018. Thanks to the exclusive partnership, Unitel presents today around 200 programmes with and about Leonard Bernstein, among them 27 new episodes of his world famous TV series Young People’s Concerts and the two operas Tristan und Isolde, by Richard Wagner, and A Quiet Place, by Bernstein himself. The range goes from the legendary recordings of Bernstein’s Mahler and Beethoven Cycles to West Side Story – The Making of a Recording and the historic performance of the Ode to Freedom following the fall of the Berlin Wall, from Bernstein’s rehearsals in Salzau to the intimate portraits Larger than Life, Reaching for the Note and The Gift of Music.
