Fitzgerald and Hemingway on Film
A comprehensive guide to all major film adaptations based on the novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, this is essential for scholars of American modernism and film studies. The author takes the approach that all visual and printed literature is born from a cycle of celebrity culture, in which authors continually create new works and reconstruct their personal images based on audience reception. The text includes two dozen reviews of individual films, from the silent era to present-day hits, such as Baz Luhrman's The Great Gatsby, as well as critical commentary from leading scholars of both modernist literature and film studies.

The History of American Literature on Film
From William Dickson's Rip Van Winkle films (1896) to Baz Luhrmann's big-budget production of The Great Gatsby (2013) and beyond, cinematic adaptations of American literature participate in a rich and fascinating history. Unlike previous studies of American literature and film, which emphasize particular authors like Edith Wharton and Nathaniel Hawthorne, particular texts like Moby-Dick, particular literary periods like the American Renaissance, or particular genres like the novel, this volume considers the multiple functions of filmed American literature as a cinematic genre in its own right-one that reflects the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas even as it plays a decisive role in defining American literature for a global audience.

海明威私心最愛作品 現代主義戰爭小說經典， 對戰爭的荒謬與殘暴提出控訴。 「神聖」、「榮耀」、「犧牲」…… 這些空泛的字眼，總是令我感到尷尬。 我已經許久不曾見識到真正神聖的事物； 過去充滿榮耀的一切，已不再榮耀； 而所謂的犧牲，如果只是埋葬捐軀者的屍體，其他什麼事也沒能為他們做， 那他們跟宰場裡的牲畜屍體，又有什麼兩樣？ 睽違半世紀，全新繁體中文譯本 台灣自從一九七八年宋碧雲的譯本，迄今可說已經有四十年未再有代表性譯本出現過——這裡所謂代表性，是指譯者在翻譯時並未因循苟且，...

I'd Die For You
"Known not only for his brilliant novels but also for short stories chronicling the Jazz Age, such as 'Bernice bobs her hair' and 'The diamond as big as the Ritz, ' F. Scott Fitzgerald continued to write stories his entire life, some of which were never published--until now. Many of the stories in I'd die for you were submitted to major magazines and accepted for publication during Fitzgerald's lifetime but were never printed. A few were written as movie scenarios and sent to studios or producers, but not filmed. Others are stories that could not be sold because their subject matter or style departed from what editors expected of Fitzgerald in the 1930s. They come from various sources, from library archive to private collections, including those of Fitzgerald's family"--Jacket flap.
