The Path To Paradise Bok
<p><b>The definitive account of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long dream to reinvent American film-making, if not the entire world.</b><br/><br/>'Supremely entertaining.' <i>New York Times</i><br/><br/>'Mouth-watering . . . Sizzingly vivid and compulsive.' <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/>Having conducted hundreds of interviews with Coppola, and those who have worked closely with him, Sam Wasson weaves together an extraordinary portrait. A man who is charming, brilliant, but also plagued by restlessness, recklessness and a desire to operate perpetually at the extremes. It is a story inextricably bound up in the making of one of the greatest quixotic masterpieces ever attempted, <i>Apocalypse Now</i>. That story, already the stuff of legend, has never been fully told until this extraordinary book..</p>

Every Man For Himself And God Against All Bok
<p>Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been intrigued by the extremes of human experience.<br/><br/>From his early movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes. During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.<br/><br/>As a child in rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures.<br/><br/>Filled to the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, <i>Every Man for Himself and God against All</i> unveils the influences and ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his extraordinary and fascinating life.</p>

<p><b>'The book of the year' <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i><br/>'One of the very best biographies I have ever read' STEPHEN FRY<br/>'A hot thunderstorm of a book' DAVID HARE<br/>'<i>Erotic Vagrancy</i> gave me a week of pure joy' CRAIG BROWN<br/>'Unputdownable' TONY PALMER<br/>'A genius writer' LYNN BARBER<br/>'ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE . . . ONE OF THE GREAT READING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE' MARINA HYDE<br/>A TOP 25 BEST BOOK OF 2023 <i>(INDEPENDENT)</i></b><br/><br/>Thirteen years in the writing, Erotic Vagrancy doesn't only surpass every other biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton yet to appear, this rich, vital and passionately articulated book, which is as extravagant and wayward as its two subjects, is also about celebrity, creativity, being flawed, being brilliant, sexuality, the intermingling of a low and a highbrow existence, pride, insecurity, attraction and repulsion, and devilry.<br/><br/>We see Taylor the child actress exchanging dogs and horses for husbands. We see Burton emerging from the mists and brimstone of Wales to be the greatest theatrical animal of his generation. The pair come together in Rome during the making of Cleopatra, which gives Lewis the opportunity for a major farcical set-piece. We then enter a world of jewels and private jets, vodka, yachts and furs - the splendid vulgarity of the Sixties, where the narrative of Taylor and Burton becomes a Pop Art story.<br/><br/>Then, inevitably, it all goes wrong, with alcoholism, violence, recrimination and divorce ( twice ) - with Burton, whom Lewis depicts as a Faustus figure, damned by fame, dead at fifty-eight.<br/><br/>Stephen Fry has said, 'It is one of the very best biographies I have ever read. One of the best books about fame, desire, Hollywood and mid-to-late twentieth century culture ever written. Inside which, brilliant, hilarious and sensitive insights on all manner of subjects fizz and froth. Magnificent, terrible, tragic, triumphant.'</p>

The Last Action Heroes Bok
<p><b>'A blast' </b>- Ian Rankin<br/><b>'A lively celebration of 1980s action stars' </b>- <i>The Times</i><br/><br/><b>From the editor of <i>Empire</i> magazine, this is the behind-the-scenes story of the golden age of the action movie, the stars who ruled 80s and 90s Hollywood and the beloved films - from <i>Die Hard</i> to <i>The Terminator</i> - that made them famous.</b><br/><br/>Charting Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's carnage-packed journey from enmity to friendship against the backdrop of Reagan's America and the Cold War. It also reveals the untold stories of the colourful characters, from Steven Seagal to Bruce Willis, who ascended in their wake. These invincible action heroes used muscle, martial arts or the perfect weapon to save the day, becoming pop-culture titans.<br/><br/>Drawing on candid interviews with the action stars themselves, plus their collaborators, friends and foes, <i>The Last Action Heroes</i> chronicles how, as the 1990s rolled in, the glory days of these macho men began to fade, but how the mayhem they wrought on screen and off excites us still.</p>
