Последние издания книг Уильяма Голдмена

Книга выдающегося американского сценариста Уильяма Голдмана—это увлекательный рассказ голливудского инсайдера о тонкостях сценарного мастерства. Голдман—яркий представитель Нового Голливуда, обладатель двух Оскаров за фильмы "Батч Кэссиди и Санденс Кид" и "Вся президентская рать" и один из самых успешных сценаристов Америки откровенно рассказывает о своих взлетах и падениях и дает дельные советы тем, кто только начинает писать. Голдман считает, что сценарному мастерству нельзя научить, но ему можно научиться, и это выигрышно отличает книгу от множества пособий по сценаризму.

William Goldman's beloved novel has sold over one million copies. A movie, released twenty years ago, perfectly captured the spirit of the book and has introduced new fans to its pages ever since. In 1941 a young boy lies bedridden from pneumonia. His perpetually disheveled and unattractive father, an immigrant from Florin with terribly broken English, shuffles into his bedroom carrying a book. The boy wants to know if it has any sports. His father says, "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions. Miracles." And the little boy, though he doesn't know it, is about to change forever. As Goldman says, "What happened was just this. I got hooked on the story." And coming generations of readers will, too.

As befits more than twenty years in Hollywood, Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman's sparkling memoir is as entertaining as many of the films he has helped to create. From the writer of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men and Marathon Man, Adventures in the Screen Trade is an intimate view of movie-making, of acting greats such as Redford, Olivier, Newman and Hoffman, and of the trials and rewards of working inside the most exciting business in the world.
