<b>A unique cocktail of personal memoir, cultural criticism and Hollywood history by the one and only Quentin Tarantino.</b><br/><br/><b>The long-awaited first work of nonfiction from the author of the number one <i>New York Times</i> bestselling </b><b><i>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: </i></b><b>a deliriously entertaining, wickedly intelligent cinema book as unique and creative as anything by Quentin Tarantino.</b><br/><br/>In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films.<br/><br/>Now, with <b><i>CINEMA SPECULATION</i></b>, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans - and all movie lovers - could have hoped for.<br/><br/>Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining.<br/><br/>At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT's and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.

This book is the result of one man's pure fascination for art, urban environments and beauty in the widest sense of the word. In shades of black, blue and brown, and in the spirit of Brassai and Doisneau, he takes us on a photographic tour, an imaginative play of light and shadows, to some of the cities that he has come to love as a world traveler -- Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, Venice and Tokyo, to mention just a few.

From the Introduction:<br/><br/>"There are certainly enough ingredients to fire imagination: a director [Mauritz Stiller] who had just finished a masterpiece [Gösta Berlings Saga]; a leading lady, the directors protégée, becoming known through his film [Greta Garbo]; a Russian exile with an extraordinary true story to tell [Vladimir Semitjov]; a film company with a spectacular big budget production in Egypt on its track record [Trianon Film AG]; an extravagant hotel in Constantinople, in a setting bridging East and West, poverty and luxury, set against the background of the recent Russian revolution; a heated quarrel on intellectual property rights; a film crew in distress, left by their director on Christmas Eve as luck had turned; The End."<br/><br/>No film, but a rediscovered manuscript A Tale from Constantinople written by Mauritz Stiller and Ragnar Hyltén-Cavallius, here published for the first time with an introduction and two contextualising essays.

<i>Photography: The Whole Story</i> is a celebration of the most beautiful, meaningful and inspiring photographs that have arisen from this very modern medium. It begins with a succinct overview of photography, placing it in the context of the social and cultural developments that have taken place globally since its arrival. <br/><br/>rganized chronologically, the book then traces the rapid evolution of photographic style, period by period and movement by movement. Illustrated, in-depth essays cover every photographic genre, from the early portraits and tableaux to the digitally manipulated montages, split-second sports images, and conceptual photographs of today. The ideas and works of key photographers are assessed to reveal what motivated them, who influenced whom, and what each was striving to achieve. Detailed cultural and individual artist timelines clarify historical context.
