Paperback. Condizione: Fair. On the sound stage and the casting couch, behind the facades of Spanish style mansions and inside studio trailers, at costumes and makeup, in posh nightclubs and in backrooms filled with cigar smoke, here are the ruthless producers, over-the-hill directors, disillusioned writers, glamorously callous actresses, desperate and hungry starlets, and matinee idols with dark secrets as they are unsparingly observed by one of America's most popular masters of realism. Best known for the now-classic 1934 novel Appointment in Samarra and such blockbuster bestsellers as Ten North Frederick and Butterfield 8, in a career spanning four decades John O'Hara also published numerous story collections. Among his finest work, they highlight qualities that sold more than 15 million copies of his books in the course of his career: the snappy dialogue, the telling detail, the ironic narrative twist. Like the novels, and like the much-praised collection of John O'Hara's Gibbsville stories, also edited by Matthew J.

Aristote y ram ne toutes les passions et il faut entendre les passions mauvaises; tout le Christianisme, par une interpr tation peut- tre fausse d'une parole de son fondateur, lui livre une bataille ternelle; Montaigne lui-m me, cette fleur charmante d' go sme aimable, biaise avec son go sme et le pr sente comme un projet d' tudier l'homme en la personne de M. de Montaigne. Pascal dit de Montaigne: le sot projet qu'il a de se peindre et prononce l'arr t, dont l' go sme ne s'est pas relev Le moi est ha ssable. Rench rissant sur Aristote, La Rochefoucauld montre avec acharnement que l'amour propre est la source, non seulement de nos passions mauvaises, mais de ce que nous prenons pour nos vertus, et, plus dangereux d guis qu' visage d couvert, se fait aimer, comme s'il en avait besoin, sous le masque des qualit s qui sont le plus loign es de ce qu'il est vraiment.…
