Autor: Dennis Lehane

Número de Páginas: 395

Un thriller intenso y emotivo que corta la respiración y nos obliga a suponer y deducir página tras página hasta el final. Después de la caída es Dennis Lehane en su mejor versión, una nueva vuelta de tuerca de uno de los grandes escritores del noir norteamericano. Después de triunfar con la serie de los inolvidables detectives bostonianos Kenzie y Gennaro, de recibir el aplauso unánime por la tensión dramática y lírica de Mystic River y haberse consagrado con su trilogía histórica criminal de Joe Coughlin, Dennis Lehane nos sorprende con una trama de suspense psicológico. Rachel Childs superó una infancia difícil hasta convertirse en una intrépida periodista de éxito en busca permanente de la verdad. Sin embargo, cuando le toca cubrir la catástrofe humanitaria de Haití como enviada especial, Rachel sufre una crisis nerviosa en directo que acaba con la confianza en sí misma, con su carrera y con su matrimonio.

Clint Eastwood's America

Autor: Sam B. Girgus

Número de Páginas: 288

The steady rise of Clint Eastwood’s career parallels a pressing desire in American society over the past five decades for a figure and story of purpose, meaning, and redemption. Eastwood has not only told and filmed that story, he has come to embody it for many in his public image and film persona. Eastwood responds to a national yearning for a vision of individual action and initiative, personal responsibility, and potential for renewal. An iconic director and star for his westerns, urban thrillers, and adventure stories, Eastwood has taken film art to new horizons of meaning in a series of masterpieces that engage the ethical and moral consciousness of our times, including Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and Mystic River. He revolutionized the war film with the unprecedented achievement of filming the opposing sides of the same historic battle in Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, using this saga to present a sharply critical representation of the new America that emerged out of the war, a society of images and spectacles. This timely examination of Clint Eastwood’s oeuvre against the backdrop of contemporary America will be fascinating reading for students of...

Tough Ain't Enough

Autor: Lester D. Friedman , David Desser

Número de Páginas: 269

Throughout his lengthy career as both an actor and a director, Clint Eastwood has appeared in virtually every major film genre and, at this point in his career, has emerged as one of America’s most popular, recognizable, and respected filmmakers. He also remains a controversial figure in the political landscape, often characterized as the most prominent conservative voice in mostly liberal Hollywood. At Eastwood’s late age, his critical success as actor and director, his combative willingness to confront serious cultural issues in his films, and his undeniable talent behind the camera all call for a new and comprehensive study that considers and contextualizes his multiple roles, both on and off screen. Tough Ain’t Enough offers readers a series of original essays by prominent cinema scholars that explore the actor-director’s extensive career. The result is a far-reaching and nuanced portrait of one of America’s most prolific and thoughtful filmmakers.

Clint Eastwood's Cinema of Trauma

Autor: Charles R. Hamilton , Allen H. Redmon

Número de Páginas: 201

Throughout his directorial career, Clint Eastwood's movies have presented sympathetic narratives of characters enduring personal trauma as they turn to violence to survive calamity or sustain social order--a choice that leaves them marginalized rather than redeemed. In this collection of new essays, contributors examine his films--from The Outlaw Josey Wales to Sully--as studies on PTSD that expose the social conditions that tolerate or trigger traumatization and (in his more recent work) imagine a way through individual and collective trauma.

Gaining Ground

Autor: Nancy S. Seasholes

Número de Páginas: 553

Why and how Boston was transformed by landmaking. Fully one-sixth of Boston is built on made land. Although other waterfront cities also have substantial areas that are built on fill, Boston probably has more than any city in North America. In Gaining Ground historian Nancy Seasholes has given us the first complete account of when, why, and how this land was created.The story of landmaking in Boston is presented geographically; each chapter traces landmaking in a different part of the city from its first permanent settlement to the present. Seasholes introduces findings from recent archaeological investigations in Boston, and relates landmaking to the major historical developments that shaped it. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, landmaking in Boston was spurred by the rapid growth that resulted from the burgeoning China trade. The influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century prompted several large projects to create residential land—not for the Irish, but to keep the taxpaying Yankees from fleeing to the suburbs. Many landmaking projects were undertaken to cover tidal flats that had been polluted by raw sewage discharged directly onto them, removing the...
