Close-Up: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Len Deightonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2021
Ageing Hollywood star Marshall Stone is scared. Scared that the parts are drying up. Scared of being forgotten. So when he hears an eminent author is writing his biography, Stone siezes the chance of immortality. But painful memories and suppressed scandals soon threaten to destroy the carefully-constructed fiction of his life. Inspired by Len Deighton's own experiences of the film industry,Close-Upis a brilliant exposé of the sleaze, venality and betrayals of the studio machine.
'The richness, the sardonic humour, the wheeling and dealing ... the power of the book is undoubted'Evening Standard

Notă biografică
Len
Deightonwas
born
in
1929
in
London.
He
did
his
national
service
in
the
RAF,
went
to
the
Royal
College
of
Art
and
designed
many
book
jackets,
including
the
original
UK
edition
of
Jack
Kerouac'sOn
the
Road.
The
enormous
success
of
his
first
spy
novel,The
IPCRESS
File(1962),
was
repeated
in
a
remarkable
sequence
of
books
over
the
following
decades.
These
varied
from
historical
fiction
(Bomber,
perhaps
his
greatest
novel)
to
dystopian
alternative
fiction
(SS-GB)
and
a
number
of
brilliant
non-fiction
books
on
the
Second
World
War
(Fighter,
BlitzkriegandBlood,
Tears
and
Folly).
His spy novels chart the twists and turns of Britain and the Cold War in ways which now give them a unique flavour. They preserve a world in which Europe contains many dictatorships, in which the personal can be ruined by the ideological and where the horrors of the Second World War are buried under only a very thin layer of soil. Deighton's fascination with technology, his sense of humour and his brilliant evocation of time and place make him one of the key British espionage writers, alongside John Buchan, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming and John Le Carré.

Recenzii
The
film
industry
is
in
many
ways
the
ideal
subject
for
Mr
Deighton's
talents.
Immense skill ... a stylish and stimulating performance.
The richness, the sardonic humour, the wheeling and dealing world of the films with its parties, its highly coloured characters ... The power of the book is undoubted.
