Riassunto

Film tie-in edition of this classic book to coincide with the release of the film starring Johnny Depp and directed by Terry Gilliam.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson’s ‘savage journey to the heart of the American dream’, introduced the world to Gonzo journalism, and the book has been a cult classic ever since. Now it’s being made into a major film starring Johnny Depp (Ed Wood, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? etc.) and directed by Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Time Bandits) of Monty Python fame. A cult classic of its own in the making.

Equipped with a veritable arsenal of heinous chemicals, Thompson and his comrade-in-arms Ralph Steadman confront casino operators, bartenders, police officers and assorted members of the Silent Majority with a hallucinatory humour and nightmare terror never before seen on the printed page.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a scorching epochal sensation. There are only two adjectives authors care about any more -
“brilliant”
and
“outrageous”
- and Hunter Thompson has a freehold on both of them’
Tom Wolfe
