"The Big Screen" is not another history of the movies. Rather, it is a wide-ranging narrative about the movies & their signal role in modern life. At first, film was a waking dream, the gift of appearance delivered for a nickel to huddled masses sitting in the dark. But soon, & abruptly, movies began transforming our societies & our perceptions of the world. The celebrated film authority David Thomson takes us around the globe, through time & across many media--moving from Eadweard Muybridge to Steve Jobs, from 'Sunrise' to 'I Love Lucy', from John Wayne to George Clooney, from television commercials to streaming video--to tell the COMPLEX, GRIPPING, PARADOXICAL, story of the movies. He tracks the ways we were initially enchanted by movies as imitations of life--the stories, the stars, the look--& how we allowed them to show us how to live. At the same time, movies, offering a seductive escape from everyday reality & its responsibilities, have made it possible for us to evade life altogether. The entranced audience has become a model for powerless & anxiety-ridden citizens trying to pursue happiness & dodge terror by sitting quietly in a dark room. Does the big screen take us out into the world, or merely mesmerize us? That is Thomson's question in this grand adventure of a book. Books about the movies are often aimed at film buffs, but this PASSIONATE & PROVOCATIVE feat of storytelling is VITAL to anyone trying to make sense of the age of screens--the age that, more than ever, we are living in. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "David Thompson has composed a grand aesthetic, spiritual, & moral account of cinema history assembled around the movies & artists that have meant the most to him. As Thompson reconstructs film history, movies bring us close to reality & deliver us into ecstatic dreams. A pungently written, brilliant book." -David Denby, author of 'Snark' & film critic of the New Yorker. "David Thompson is, I think, the best writer on film in our time. If "Have You Seen . . . ?" was his most succinct & entertaining book, "The Big Screen" is a large & vivacious map of 'the screen', beginning w/ Muybridge & tracing careers from Korda to Renoir to Hawkes to Mizoguchi, to David Lynch & Tarantino before swerving over to television. Thompson has created a marvelous plot for the history of film, w/ insights & revelations on every page. He is our most argumentative and trustworthy historian of the screen." -Michael Ondaatje * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DAVID THOMPSON, renowned as one of the great living authorities on the movies, is the author of "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film", now in its 5th edition. His books include a biography of Nicole Kidman & "The Whole Equation: A History of Hollywood". Thomson is also the author of the acclaimed "Have You Seen . . . ? : A Personal Introduction to 1,000 Films". Born in London in 1941, he now lives in San Francisco. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps & packages this fine book w/ our greatest care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost fee, w/ international shipping at our posted rates.

Clare Leighton (title page & cover illustrations) Ilustrador. Here is the 1966 paperback reprint of Henry David Thoreau's book "Cape Cod" It was published by Thomas Y. Crowell in its 'Apollo Editions' series. This edition is now Out of Print. "This is the account of three walking trips that Thoreau made on Cape Cod in 1849, 1850, and 1855. Thoreau found a deep satisfaction in the simplicity of the Cape Codders' ways, the bare beauty of the landscape, and the ever-present ocean. With relish and good humor, he describes what he saw on his tramps about this wind-swept peninsula : remains of a shipwreck, windmills, seaweed, sea creatures, the changing water in its various moods, ships, lighthouses, birds, the scrubby vegetation, and especially the people. He enjoyed talking with the old salts, and this book is full of their yarns. " As always with Thoreau, his observations of nature caused him to meditate on their meaning, and the mighty waters pounding the Cape Cod beaches fascinated him. Here was the great elemental force - two thirds of the globe- teeming with animals, treacherous to seamen, but possessing many kinds of beauty. Thoreau met the elements and found them bracing. The country itself had the simplicity he had always striven to attain. Facing the ocean on Cape Cod, he wrote : 'A man may stand there and put all America behind him.'
