On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

By Stephen King.

This edition published in 2020.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 1982159375

ISBN-13: 978-1982159375

Description:

"A one-of-a-kind classic." – The Wall Street Journal.

"On Writing had more useful and observant things to say about the craft than any book since Strunk and White's The Elements of Style." – Roger Ebert.

"This is a special book, animated by a unique intelligence, and filled with useful truth." – Michael Chabon.

“The best book on writing. Ever.” – The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999 – and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it – fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.

Nuremberg:

Infamy on Trial

By Joseph E. Persico.

Published by Penguin Publishing Group.

Published 1994.

ISBN-10: 014016622X

ISBN-13: 9780140166224

Description:

A vivid reconstruction of the actions of the wartime allies and the Nazi elite at Nuremberg. Persico eaily carries us into a deeper understanding of the trials. – New York Newsday.

This book deserved a wider readership than any of its predecessors. … Here were the leaders of the most evil regime in recorded history – all save their leader – called to account for their deeds. … The whole world now knows why they were there; and every generation needs a book like this to remind us of it. – The Washington Post Book World.

Perisco captures both the sweep and the detail of the war crimes trials in an account that sometimes reads like a Ludlum novel. – Los Angeles Times.

It is not often that a book works at once as historical tract, morality play, and crime thriller. This one does.

– The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Nuremberg trials remain, after nearly a half a century, the benchmark for judging international crimes. Using new sources – ground-breaking research in the papers of the Nuremberg prison psychiatrist and commandant, the letters and journals of the prisoners, and accounts of the judges and prosecutors as they struggled through each day making compromises and steeling their convictions – Joseph Persico retells the story of Nuremberg, combining sweeping history with psychological insight. Here are brilliant, chilling portraits of the Nazi warlords and riveting descriptions of the tensions between law and vengeance, between East and West, and of the friction already present in the early stages of the Cold War.

Kubrick: Inside a Film Artist’s Maze

by Thomas Allen Nelson.

New and Expanded Edition.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0253213908

ISBN-13: 978-0253213907

Published 2000.

Description:

Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson’s perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the “aesthetics of contingency.” After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director’s death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into – and out of – Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic maze.
