Nobody's Fool
Gottfried's capably researched and recounted biography offers a none too flattering glimpse into Kaye's well-guarded personal life, including his egotism, cruelty, his strained marriage and his flirtations and affairs. His career is treated in detail, from his obvious early talent to the creation of his acting personae and his sad professional and personal decline before his death in 1987. Lacks a bibliography.

Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller has been delivering powerful drama to the stage for decades with such masterpieces as ¿Death of a Salesman,¿ ¿The Crucible,¿ and ¿A View from the Bridge.¿ Yet remarkably, no one has until now told the full story of Miller¿s own extraordinary life -- a rich life, much of it shrouded from public view. To achieve this portrait of the artist and the man, Gottfried draws on interviews, on Miller¿s lifelong correspondence, and on the annotated scripts and notebooks that reveal Miller¿s creative process in detail. From Miller¿s childhood and adolescence in Depression-era New York to his heroic defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy years, to his unlikely pairing with Marilyn Monroe, here is a highly acclaimed portrait.
An Introduction to General Metaphysics
First published in 1961, An Introduction to General Metaphysics presents Gottfried Martin’s careful study of many of the passages in Plato and Aristotle which deal with metaphysical problems and in particular with the Platonic Theory of Ideas. He has traced the development of the theory both in early works and in late works such as the Parmenides and the Sophistes; and with equal care he has studied the relative passages in Aristotle’s Metaphysics. He has quoted many of these passages at length and has offered a careful account and analysis of the progress of Plato’s thought. He has also discussed in a very interesting way the main passages relative to Aristotle’s criticism of Plato’s Theory of Ideas. This book is a must read for any student of Greek Philosophy and Philosophy in general.

Arthur Miller
Arthur Miller has been delivering powerful drama to the stage for decades with such masterpieces as Death of a Salesman, The Crucible, and A View from the Bridge. But, remarkably, no one has yet told the full story of Miller's own extraordinary life-a rich life, much of it shrouded from public view. To achieve this groundbreaking portrait of the artist and the man, the award-winning drama critic and biographer Martin Gottfried masterfully draws on his interviews, on Miller's voluminous lifelong correspondence, and on the annotated scripts and notebooks that reveal Miller's creative process in stunning detail. From Miller's childhood and adolescence in Depression-era New York City to the 1947 play All My Sons that established him as a voice to be reckoned with...from his heroic defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy years to his most unlikely pairing with Marilyn Monroe: Here is a highly acclaimed book that is "compulsively readable" (Booklist, starred review).
