Registrace 20. 05. 2011
Web of Stories - Life Stories of Remarkable People is an archive of the life stories some of the greatest people of our times who have influenced our world.
Web of Stories began as an archive of life stories told by some of the great scientists of our time. As the number of stories grew, it became obvious that some were on related topics and a web was slowly being created of connected stories. After a while, we also invited famous people outside the field of science to tell their life stories.
Our aim has been to provide an archive of stories from people who have influenced our world. Imagine, in a hundred years' time, future generations being able to watch people like Stan Lee, Doris Lessing or James Watson telling stories about their lives and their achievements.

Claudia Roden (b. 1936) is an Egyptian-born British cookbook writer and cultural anthropologist of Sephardi/Mizrahi descent. She is best known as the author of Middle Eastern cookbooks including "A Book of Middle Eastern Food", "The New Book of Middle Eastern Food" and "The Book of Jewish Food". In this unique interview for Web of Stories, Claudia Roden is talking to her granddaughter Nelly Wolman about her life in food. [Listener: Nelly Wolman; date recorded: 2022]
TRANSCRIPT: When I was 15 my parents sent me to Paris. I have to say, they sent me to Britain first, to get my GCSE. Because I had done almost... I had done two terms at the English School Cairo. I was really very young but in Egypt we took the exams young. And so, I had only one more term and they sent me to London - not to London really, to a boarding school in Horsham - to take my exams. And I did, and I passed. I passed all of them, which was something like 11.
But I was really, really unhappy. Because the girls were going to be presented to the Queen and they were all into horses and lacrosse and they weren't at all interested in passing exams. I think I was the only one in the school, and the foreign girls who were there, were Iranians. And we stuck together. But the real reason why my parents sent me was that my younger brother had had a terrible badly operated ear problem. He had mastoiditis. And he had infection, then a mastoiditis, and it means that the infection had affected even the bone in his skull. And he was in great danger. At the same time my elder brother had been in England, had done his O Levels and he was going to study medicine. And because my younger brother went to Paris to be operated there by one of the greatest specialists, my mother went with him. So, my father was at home with me, and it was difficult for him. And so, they decided the best thing would be that I'd go to England. And then to Paris because my brother, after his operation, had to stay in Paris to be near the doctor. Because he would keep needing treatment for one or two years. And so, if I was there, we would be supporting each other. And so, yes, I went to Paris. And for me that was one of the most fantastic times in my life.

The “Just Imagine Stan Lee creating DC” books are actually very interesting to read. I know that nobody likes it but I personally enjoy the idea of the man himself reimagining the iconic heroes in the DC universe in his own way. I favorite ones he did is the Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Shazam

Well he was very successful becaise she did look great.
Pretty sure Donald is just a 'mere 6'4",on dirty dozen clint walker had about 2" on him,and he's 6'6"
VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED -- sounds like the honeymoon cruise my ex-wife and i went on
Murray is a very entertaining raconteur
Aside from all his other talents Gell-Mann is a very compelling story teller
Freeman Dyson died as a hero . He gave scientists a worthy leader out of this morass of B S
Olaf Stapledon! 😀
so sad that he always has to say something mean about every famous scientist
You should have said to him whats with the negative waves..........
Great time capsule of a film.
I remember watching a movie on TV with a tree talking to itself because the two actors were standing far enough apart that neither one fit onto the screen. There were some other movies that had funny scenes because of cinemascope (?) on TV. Unfortunately, as he points out, that's been corrected now.
The absolute MASTER OF THE ART OF BOXING RIP BRENDAN INGLE … maybe gone BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN….🥊🇮🇪 🥊
0:56 Bernstein's New Yorker article 'A Question of Parity' was the trigger of the broke-up between Lee and Yang. There's NO WAY to deny it. It is true that there had been tensions between Lee and Yang since they won the Nobel Prize in 1957, but it was definitely this article and its narrative that ignited the terminal fight over contributions in their collaboration. In fact, Bernstein himself then admitted that he had some responsibility (2:09), although unwillingly. I really think Dyson's note (2:21) is a fair warning: 'Once we'll forgive you but twice, we won't'.
I agree. I always thought that I liked Jonathan Miller and got honest good vibes from him. Now I like him even more.
The useless Westminster village closed him out. Of political life
Does anyone else notice a subtle german accent in Freeman Dyson's speech?
That film should have been called Ordeal by a Pair of American Prats. The film sank without a trace. Actors act, directors direct. Not the other way around.
I could listen to that gentle, genius, humble voice for a long long time. What a treasure.
Sad that only 4600 views in six years. This is the cream. The best. But sadly, people prefer garbage.
Anyone watching this after Oppenheimer film.
You didn’t have to go with it. You chose to stay on board
Jeanne Moreau told a story about Welles hiding his makeup kit as filming got underway for The Trial, which he directed. He kept making excuses for not beginning his own scenes- he played the Advocate. Welles claimed he couldn't locate his kit, intending to do his own makeup. She finally found where he'd hidden it. For all his seeming confidence and bravado, the man had gotten cold feet when it came to his performance on camera. I always found that little anecdote touching.
English homosexuality is the best
Absolute rubbish film.
As soon as an actor or star becomes successful, they think they are God's gift. They are not!
Great advice
When people float above their bodies, watch doctors operating on their bodies , hear the conversations, come back to life and tell the doctors exactly what was said, how can you explain that ? Please explain it.

Today is 14th June 2024 which is the 100th Birth Anniversary Day of Sir James Whyte Black. Thanks a lot for sharing such a life time inspirational interview!! 🎉❤
The nuclear hoax continue even today, every test was measure with TNT because that was being used even in today's technology! Mankind can only produce dirty bombs, nothing like you see in these fake videos!

I don't understand one thing - WHY ARE THEY LATE? They are paid $millions to pretend in front of a camera. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of people waiting to work...why is ONE person entitled to be late?
"The producers spent a fortune on the cast, not very money on the script or props".. that's hollywood. The star system creating monsters not artists.
And yet Sony pictures are abusing it.
Absolutely fascinating.
Oppenheimer was an obvious security risk!
Is American Physical Society APS a Flat Heads Society that can be compared to Flat Earthers Society considering physicists are lost in a parallel universe, inside black holes, digging for the not detectable dark energy & scientific value = 1/2 Big-Mac?
Pena não termos legendas em português para sabermos mais sobre esse herói do povo judeu. Greetings from Brazil. אם ישראל חי
What I loved about Bette Davis as that she was not afraid to be ugly-if that is what was required of the character.
Prima Donna’s.
Also, his biggest feminist critic at the time also believed that breasts evolved from dolphinkinish sources😂 Not surprising considering what Lilly's girlfriend/lab assistant was doing to the dolphins at the same time.
There are trillions of dollars up for grabs for climate alarmists. I give far more credit to brilliant and independent thinkers like Freeman than the climate zeitgeist.
