Priestley 'Priestley is one of the finest and most popular storytellers of the last hundred years.' - Dame Margaret Drabble 'Abundant life flows through J.B. Priestley's books. He was the last of his kind.' - Stan Barstow 'J.B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th century. And it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.' - Dame Judi Dench Philip and Margaret Waverton and their friend Roger Penderel are driving through the mountains of Wales when a torrential downpour washes away the road and forces them to seek shelter for the night. They take refuge in an ancient, crumbling mansion inhabited by the strange and sinister Femm family and their brutish servant Morgan. Determined to make the best of the circumstances, the benighted travellers drink, talk, and play games to pass the time while the storm rages outside. But as the night progresses and tensions rise, dangerous and unexpected secrets emerge. On the house's top floor are two locked doors; behind one of them lies the mysterious, unseen Sir Roderick Femm, and behind the other lurks an unspeakable terror. Which is more deadly: the apocalyptic storm outside the house or the unknown horrors that await within? And will any of them survive the night? Benighted (1927), a classic 'old dark house' novel of psychological terror, was the second novel by J. B. Priestley (1894-1984), better known for his classics The Good Companions (1929), Angel Pavement (1930) and Bright Day (1946). The basis for James Whale's 1932 film The Old Dark House, Benighted returns to print for the first time in fifty years. This edition includes the unabridged text of the first British edition, a new introduction by Orrin Grey, and a reproduction of the rare jacket art of the 1927 Heinemann edition.

  • John Boynton Priestley
    Jerzy Gronau WĘDRÓWKI PO BIBLIOGRAFII ANGIELSKIEGO AUTORA [O nazwisku] PRIESTLEY JOHN BOYNTON {Pseudonimy: - Peter Goldsmith, B.K. Hill, Tom Oldfield, Peter Pomfret, John Boynton] *13.09.1894 - +14.08.1984 Breadford Warwickshire Kraków. 2011 Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 2 - Jerzy GRONAU - Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII - PRIESTLEY John Boynton - 3 - Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, wiek (rocznik 1924) i obecnie niepełnosprawność, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju ‘zabawy umysłowej’ którą przeżywałem przy innych pracach podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja: o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie aktualnej bibliografii tego autora. 1. Od początku mej pracy nie posługiwałem się żadną bibliografią, lecz tylko danymi z katalogów bibliotek i sprzedawców książek. Dopiero przy znacznym zaawansowaniu opracowania, dotarłem do wcześniejszych opracowań bibliograficznych (podanych w źródłach opracowania) i uzupełniałem swoje dane. Żadna z polskich bibliotek tak naukowych jak i publicznych nie posiada nawet w przybliżeniu kompletu polskich wydawnictw tego autora. Podobnie jest też z zagranicznymi renomowanymi bibliotekami. 2 W języku angielskim ( także w niemieckim i francuskim) przy porządkowaniu wg alfabetu nazw - tytułów, zamieszanie wprowadzają rodzajniki: ”The, A, An” i inne. Stąd powstały tabele tytułów w języku angielskim ze skróconymi nazwami, bez rodzajników [jak w opracowaniach amerykańskich]. 3. Zaznaczyć muszę, że w językach angielskim, niemieckim i francuskim, wprowadziłem do tabel tylko nazwy spotkanych tytułów bez specjalnej uwagi na określone wydania książkowe czy czasopisma w których ukazywały się prace autora. Nie są to więc ściśle bibliografie a raczej - spisy spotkanych tytułów. Jednak w tabelach z tytułami angielskimi starałem się o wpisanie daty najstarszych wydań danej pracy, oraz nieraz uzupełniałem innymi wydaniami, zwłaszcza gdy nie dysponowałem najstarszymi danymi, lub nowsze wydania różniły się bardzo od starszych wydań.
