Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. NOISBN, New, tight binding, fine/fine - Book/dust cover, 1st Ed full # line Throughout his career, Chris Bohjalian has earned a reputation for writing novels that examine some of the most important issues of our time. With Midwives, he explored the literal and metaphoric place of birth in our culture. In The Buffalo Soldier, he introduced us to one of contemporary literature?s most beloved foster children. And in Before You Know Kindness, he plumbed animal rights, gun control, and what it means to be a parent. Chris Bohjalian?s riveting fiction keeps us awake deep into the night. As The New York Times has said, ?Few writers can manipulate a plot with Bohjalian?s grace and power.? Now he is back with an ambitious new novel that travels between Jay Gatsby?s Long Island and rural New England, between the Roaring Twenties and the twenty-first century. When college sophomore Laurel Estabrook is attacked while riding her bicycle through Vermont?s back roads, her life is forever changed. Formerly outgoing, Laurel withdraws into her photography and begins to work at a homeless shelter. There she meets Bobbie Crocker, a man with a history of mental illness and a box of photographs that he won?t let anyone see. When Bobbie dies suddenly, Laurel discovers that he was telling the truth: before he was homeless, Bobbie Crocker was a successful photographer who had indeed worked with such legends as Chuck Berry, Robert Frost, and Eartha Kitt. As Laurel?s fascination with Bobbie?s former life begins to merge into obsession, she becomes convinced that some of his photographs reveal a deeply hidden, dark family secret. Her search for the truth will lead her further from her old life?and into a cat-and-mouse game with pursuers who claim they want to save her. In this spellbinding literary thriller, rich with complex and compelling characters?including Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan?Chris Bohjalian takes readers on his most intriguing, most haunting, and most unforgettable journey yet.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition blue green boards, black spine, and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Introduction by Frances Fitzgerald; A Note on the Translation by Andrew X. Pham; Chronology and Epilogue. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates, map, and two-color illustrated front and rear endpapers. Translated by Andrew X. Pham. Notes by Jane Barton Griffith, Robert Whitehurst, and Dang Kim Tram. "As much a drama of feelings as a drama of war." - Seth Mydans, New York Times. "If only I had wings to fly back to our beautiful house on Lo Duc Street, to eat with Dad, Mom, and my siblings, one simple meal with watercress and one night's sleep under the old cotton blanket. Last night I dreamed of peace. I came back and saw everybody. Oh, the dream of peace and independence has burned in the hearts of thirty million people for so long." - Dang Thuy Tram, from the rear outer cover. "At the age of twenty-four, Dang Thuy Tram volunteered to serve as a doctor in a National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) battlefield hospital in the Quang Ngai Province. Two years later she was killed by American forces not far from where she worked. Written between 1968 and 1970, her diary speaks poignantly of her devotion to family and country, the horrors of war, her yearning for her high school sweetheart, and her struggle to prove herself worthy of Communist Party membership. At times raw, at times lyrical and youthfully sentimental, her voice transcends cultures to speak of her dignity and compassion in the face of the war's ceaseless fury. The American soldier who discovered the diary soon after Dr. Tram's death defied orders to burn all such materials and preserved it for thirty-five years, eventually returning a copy to Dr. Tram's elderly mother in Hanoi. The diary was soon published in Vietnam, where it became a huge bestseller and a national sensation. Translated by Andrew X. Pham and with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Frances FitzGerald, Last Night I Dreamed of Peace is an extraordinary document that narrates one woman's personal and political struggles. Above all, it is a story of hope in the most dire of circumstances - told from the perspective of our historic enemy but universal in its power to celebrate and mourn the fragility of human life." - from the inner front jacket flap. Amft, Lynne (book design); Mapping Specialists (map) (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition red boards/black spine/silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Michael Schumacher; Author Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue; Endnotes; Filmography; Selected Bibliography; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "So you still want to direct films?" Coppola wearily asked one of his assistants after a long day of shooting on The Godfather. "Always remember three things. Have the definitive script ready before you shoot. There'll always be some changes, but they should be small ones. Second, work with people you trust and feel secure with. Remember good crew people you've worked with on other films and get them for your film. Third, make your actors feel very secure so they can do their job well. Pausing for a moment, Coppola considered his advice. "I've managed to do none of these things on this film" he concluded." - from Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life, and the rear outer jacket. ".In [the book], we hear the entire story of this man's career covered in more detail than ever before: from his apprenticeship under Roger Corman to his winning a Director's Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. Along the way, we learn how he turned a pulp Mafia novel into a cinematic classic, how he almost literally killed himself during the filming of Apocalypse Now, and how he confirmed Hollywood's predictions about him, with various flops and follies along the way. In the hands of biographer Michael Schumacher - who gained unprecedented access to Coppola's friends, critics, peers, casts, and crews - the story of Francis Ford Coppola makes for irresistible reading and the first complete picture of this complex, conflicted genius." - excerpt from the front and rear jacket flaps.
