Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Book Club Edition. The story-Eli Kazan's most personal passionate, and moving work-swirls through a wealth of environments: the Broadway stage, a mind-blown safari in East Africa, a Hollywood film studio, the garment industry, a Beverly Hills luxury hotel, a closing-night cast party in Boston, New York's underworld, the TV industry, Florida's new gold coast. Kazan enhanced the meaning of "arrangement" to encompass the sexual accommodations most people live by and lie about. The true love story of this book is one that will give the word "understudy" a new meaning. Because so many of the characters are out of the world of theater and film, some people may be tempted to wonder who they might be based on. Here is Kazan's answer: A Confession All but one of the characters in this book, the women as much as the men, are drawn from a living person. Myself. In the case of the narrator, Sonny, my old friends who remember that I was an actor for eight years will immediately recognize some of my less attractive aspects in this performer. In the case of the hotshot, young director, it's all to obvious where his arrogance and intolerance come from. The black policy man, who is in deep trouble, is more like me than anyone else I know, and Bernie, the hood who kills him, has the same bag of anxieties, and passion that I have known. I, too, alas, enjoy Les Prelude of Liszt. I am, of course, the Hollywood producer, Benesch; I used to hunch-cast, too. And Eddie Diamond, the film director, is a steal from the eager young fellow who made all those successful first films of mine. As for Jim, the white hunter, he is as controlled and correct under duress as I try to be, though being of British rather than Mediterranean origin, Jim succeeds more often than I do. As for the women, I am a bit of a narcissist, as you can tell from the photo on the back of the jacket, and was for one short period a cautious wastrel, which may account for Roberta. Heavenly Hilda is just as gullible and giving as I sometimes am, and dear Ellie with her excessive respect for law and order-ask anyone who knows me. Even the character Arthur, who is so present in the story though dead-I've always believed that I'd be killed by a U.S. Mail truck on a day when, in my habitual mental fog, I step off a city curb without looking. I can only hope, with you, that it won't happen to soon. So one and all, they are me, with the single exception of the most important character in the book, Sidney Schlossberg. He is plucked from a garland of friends whom I admire as much as I do Sidney, I wish I could say that he was me, but I can't because I am nowhere near that persuasive or funny, nor am I that grand. If I had to pick one person Sidney is most like, I'd say Clifford Odets, whom I loved as much as I love Sidney; I knew it when Cliff was alive but never knew how much till he was dead. So sue me. "All but one of the characters in this book, the women as much as the men, are drawn from a living person. Myself.

Hardcover. Condizione: Poor. No Jacket. Cover is in good to fair condition, pages are all there and in good orders, back of book starting to come away from binding.The story of what happened to this belief (different elements would meet and merge harmoniously. This belief was- almost literally- the cornerstone of their house.); how it was tried, how it failed- and how it succeeded. Into Emily's hitherto restricted circle are suddenly catapulted not only Pellegrino and Simonetta whom she has admired at a distance without identifying them, but David Salomont- brilliant, suave and ambitious- and Brian Collins- hearty, headstrong and vigorous. Emily's grandmother, "Old Mrs. Forbes," a magnificent but formidable matriarch who is apt to overshadow everyone with whom she comes in contact, is the only one of Emily's relatives who recognizes the magnitude of the task the bride has undertaken. She makes mistakes, some of them serious, as she gropes her way into the world that is strange to her. She learns the full meaning of love in a hard school and, in the course of her progress, she meets with disillusionment and tragedy. But, as she continues to grow in stature, wisdom and loving-kindness, she conquers both. In the end, she emerges not only as a triumphant but a glorious figure, one of the most moving as well as one of the most courageous that Mrs. Keyes has ever created. Roger's development is as arresting as his young wife's. When the story starts, he is immature, inexperienced and insecure. He recognizes all too well his limitations both as a lawyer and as a lover; and his close association with men who are more brilliant and more compelling than he is not only arouses natural jealousy, but at times brings about crushing despair. Attorneys at law who remember their own introduction to a jury will smile rather wryly at the account of Roger's first day in court, for their amusement will inevitably be tinged with sympathy; and men who have eventually become great figures in their chosen profession, what ever this may be, as well as those who are still hoping and striving to do so, will find a challenge and a promise in the great scene which, at terrible cost, crowns his career and gives his best friend freedom to love and live. ld Mrs. Forbes," a magnificent but formidable matriarch who is apt to overshadow everyone with whom she comes in contact is the only one of Emily's relatives who recognizes the magnitude of the task the bride has undertaken.

Love 149 Wendover Rd Staines Middx Left Margin (Vertical Text): Enter-Art Co., Florence House, Barnes, London, S.W. "COMIQUE" Series. No. 3220. British Manufacture Throughout. The acronym "N.S.E. & W. RLY" stands for the North, South, East, & West Railway - a fictional railway line created as a joke, implying that the traveler has been sent for a long ride all over the compass. Homeville: a play on words meaning "the town where I live," Middle front: "Aaron Isaacs (8 Marine Parade)" is a mock pawnbroker shop's receipt for a "Silver Watch" for "0. 10. 0" (10 shillings), Modern purchasing power: c. £40 ($50) used to fund the remainder of the trip. Marine Parade is a very common seaside street name in UK resort towns like Margate, making the fake business address look real. Royal Hotel: A generic, grand-sounding hotel name used to contrast with John Smith needing to pawn his watch just to pay the hotel bill. Back Side: Margate: A popular, real seaside resort town in northeast Kent, England, situated on the isle of Thanet. Eddie sends the postcard from here, noting it is "not so nice as Ramsgate & not so many people here." Ramsgate: Margate's neighboring historic coastal resort town, located just a few miles south on the same coastline. Staines, Middlesex (Middx): The real geographic destination where the recipient, Mr. R. Love, lived. It is an historic market town on the River Thames, just west of Greater London. The card belongs to the sought-after "COMIQUE" series produced by the Enter-Art Co / Inter-Art Co. It has social history and postal history value: crisp postmark from Margate with the intact King George V one-penny stamp. Historical records confirm that Ralph Love lived at 149 Wendover Road, Staines, Middlesex. The postcard is addressed affectionately to "Dear Ralph", with the closing line sending "Love to all," indicating a close family connection or warm friendship with the household. The Sender, Eddie, was the traveler visiting the Kent coast in August 1923. Historical electoral registers and municipal records from Staines reveal that Ralph Love shared his residence on Wendover Road with his wife, Gertrude Love. The family name Allpress also emerges in connected residential records for this household, hinting that the "Love to all" sign-off was directed to a multi-generational household right down by the River Thames. Gertrude was born Gertrude Allpress. She married Ralph Love, anchoring the Allpress family name directly to the Wendover Road home. In 1920s British households, it was common for unmarried siblings, aging parents, or adult cousins to share a residential space. The presence of the Allpress family at the same address reflects this classic interwar multi-generational arrangement. Given that Ralph Love's wife was originally an Allpress, the sender "Eddie" was probably Gertrude's brother or close cousin (an Allpress by birth). The card is a lighthearted way to tell his sister and brother-in-law that he was having a spectacular vacation on the Kent coast and spending every last penny he had. While some media from the era relied on malicious antisemitic tropes, postcards like the one sent by Eddie is not. It merely tells a timeless vacation story: a traveler living beyond his means at the seaside and having to sell his belongings just to affor (illustratore).…
