Walter Kerr fu uno scrittore e critico teatrale americano la cui prosa plasmò profondamente le prospettive sulla scenografia. Le sue recensioni erano note per la loro acuta perspicacia e le loro valutazioni senza compromessi, che lo stabilirono come una voce influente nel panorama teatrale. Kerr approfondì l'essenza del teatro e la sua evoluzione attraverso i suoi ampi scritti. Esplorò l'intricato rapporto tra creazione, critica e ricezione sociale, lasciando un impatto duraturo sul discorso sulle arti drammatiche.

This unique selection of photographs comes from the collection of local photographer Walter Kerr. Walter has been taking pictures on Cumbrae since his return to the island at the end of World War II, after his release as a prisoner of war. Millport features prominently, with pictures of many well-remembered shops and businesses in the town, as well as the Old Pier in its heyday with a variety of vessels moored alongside. In addition there's the Cumbrae Club, curlers on the pond at the north end of the island, Glamorous Granny and Mr Millport competitions, and two photographs of the short-lived hovercraft service. Whether you're a local or someone who's enjoyed day-trips or holidays to Cumbrae, you'll find much of interest here.

Netradičně koncipovaný životopis. Jednotlivé kapitoly jsou tematické. Zkoumají vždy jednu stránku Stalinovy osobnosti. Věnují se převážně jeho lidskému profilu a charakterovým rysům tak, jak se projevovaly v konkrétních situacích a ve vztahu k rodině, spolupracovníkům apod. Autor vychází ze studia archivních materiálů, pramenů a literatury (zejména memoárové). Kniha patří spíše do kategorie literatury faktu. Koncepčně připomíná historickou reportáž - text je proložen odlehčenými "intermezzy" (Stalinovy dovolené, jeho jídelníček, denní režim atd.). Nejzajímavější jsou dokumentární fotografie.
