Eastwood on Eastwood
"A richly illustrated, faithful record of Eastwood’s work, containing film stills and set photographs as well as previously unpublished photographs from his personal collection, dating from his youth and early years as an actor." --Publishers description.
Scorsese on Scorsese
Martin Scorsese is one of the most celebrated film-makers working today in Hollywood. A five time Academy Award Nominee for Best Director, Scorsese's films consistently push the boundaries of what viewers expect to see on the silver screen. From Taxi Driver to Goodfellas to The Departed, Scorsese continually challeneges audiences with his gritty, often brutal films. Developed from over 30 years of interviews with his friend and fellow director, Michael Henry Wilson, Scorsese on Scorsese is the first book to examine the career of this cinematic master in his own words. Illustrated with documents, and personal photos from Scorsese's own archive along with film stills, this in-depth look at all of Scorsese's masterpieces from his early short films all the way up to his recent Shutter Island (2010) is a key reference work for both fans of the director and professionals looking for the keys to the master's work.
Clint Eastwood
Gagnant ses galons pas à pas jusqu'à une reconnaissance unanime tant du public que de la critique, Clint Eastwood a su rester un anticonformiste qui ne craint pas de nous dérouter en remettant en question son image de star. Il n'est jamais là où on l'attend. Comment la mise en scène s'est-elle imposée au jeune comédien soucieux de contrôler sa carrière ? Comment la vedette qui aurait pu se reposer sur ses lauriers a-t-elle décidé de s'impliquer dans la production de projets risqués ? Comment le maître du film de genre est-il devenu un auteur à part entière, sans pour autant se marginaliser vis-à-vis de Hollywood ? Ce sont ces questions et bien d'autres encore que Michael Hen...
Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson
Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, an Irishman who in June 1922 was assassinated on his doorstep in London by Irish republicans, was one of the most controversial British soldiers of the modern age. Before 1914 he did much to secure the Anglo-French alliance and was responsible for the planning which saw the British Expeditionary Force successfully despatched to France after the outbreak of war with Germany. A passionate Irish unionist, he gained a reputation as an intensely 'political' soldier, especially during the 'Curragh crisis' of 1914 when some officers resigned their commisssions rather than coerce Ulster unionists into a Home Rule Ireland. During the war he played a major role in Anglo...
Martin Scorsese : entretiens avec Michael Henry Wilson
Les entretiens de Michael Henry Wilson avec Martin Scorsese, commencés dès ses premiers films en 1974, sont devenus un rituel auquel rien ne déroge. Au fil du temps, la conversation devient dialogue de plus en plus approfondi ; la confiance est palpable dans la densité des échanges d'idées tant sur les films que sur les projets ou le sens général d'une œuvre qui s'élabore. Les chapitres restituent la chronologie de ces rencontres et couvrent toute la filmographie de Scorsese, des premiers films avec Robert de Niro, jusqu'à son documentaire sur Bob Oylan et The Departed dont il vient de terminer le tournage. La qualité des propos et le caractère systématique des rendez-vous conf...

Great Hatred
THE IRISH TOP 10 BESTSELLER A gripping investigation into one of Irish history's greatest mysteries, Great Hatred reveals the true story behind one of the most significant political assassinations to ever have been committed on British soil. 'Heart-stopping . . . The book is both forensic and a page-turner, and ultimately deeply tragic, for Ireland as much as for the murder victim.' MICHAEL PORTILLO 'Gripping from start to finish. McGreevy turns a forensic mind to a political assassination that changed the course of history, uncovering a trove of unseen evidence in the process.' ANITA ANAND, author of The Patient Assassin 'Invaluable.' IRISH TIMES 'Intellgient and insightful.' IRISH INDEPEND...
A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies
This account of American films is balanced between subjective enthusiasm and objective analysis. Scorsese starts from his own childhood love affair with the cinema, when he discovered King Vidor's Dual in the Sun as a boy.
A Life in the Making
The inspiring, meditative classic autobiography of a pioneering nineteenth-century autodidact and writer, in English for the first time Over the 29 years of his short life, Franz Michael Felder worked with furious productivity to better himself and the lives of those around him. From his humble origins in the Austrian village of Schoppernau, he went on to found workers' cooperatives, a political party and even a public library in his own home, as well as writing many literary works. A Life in the Making is both the culmination of this extraordinary career and a chronicle of its development. It is a story of early hardship and fortitude, of Felder's relentless zeal for learning and his lifelong effort to reconcile his own expanding horizons with the enforced confines of the community he was born to. Unfolding in prose of limpid beauty, A Life in the Making becomes a deeply moving tribute to Felder's wife Nanni, and to his enduring belief in the possibility of a better world.
