Jackie Chan: Beyond the Stunts -...

Zuia Kim

Jackie Chan is known around the world for breathtaking stunts, perfectly timed comedy, and a style of action filmmaking that no one else has ever quite replicated. But behind the broken bones, spectacular falls, and unforgettable fight scenes is a far more complicated story.
Born Chan Kong-sang in Hong Kong in 1954, Jackie spent much of his childhood at the China Drama Academy, where years of demanding training shaped the discipline and physical abilities that would define his career. He began in the film industry as a stunt performer, appeared in the era of Bruce Lee, struggled through early attempts to find his own identity, and eventually discovered that his greatest strength was not becoming another martial arts hero. It was becoming Jackie Chan.
From Drunken Master and Project A to Police Story, Rumble in the Bronx, Rush Hour, The Karate Kid, and beyond, Jackie transformed action cinema by combining martial arts, physical comedy, elaborate choreography, and extraordinary personal risk.
Yet his life away from the camera was never as simple as the cheerful characters audiences knew. Fame brought wealth and international recognition, but also injuries, family difficulties, public mistakes, and the challenge of growing older in a career built around pushing the human body to its limits.
Jackie Chan: Beyond the Stunts follows the remarkable journey from a demanding childhood in Hong Kong to international stardom, exploring the films, accidents, relationships, successes, failures, and creative choices behind one of cinema's most recognizable performers.
This is the story of a man who spent a lifetime learning how to fall — and became famous for getting back up.

John Cavanagh

Through a series of interviews with a wide range of people connected to Pink Floyd in their earliest days (including Nick Mason, Peter Jenner, Jenny Fabian, Storm Thorgerson, Duggie Fields and Peter Whitehead), John Cavanagh paints a vivid picture of how this remarkable debut album was created. He brings to life the stories behind each track, as well as Pink Floyd's groundbreaking live performances of the time. EXCERPTThe Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a wondrous creation often seen through the distorted view of later events. These things have served to overshadow the achievement of The Pink Floyd on their debut album: an outstanding group performance; a milestone in record production; and something made in much happier circumstances than I had expected to find...This is not another book about ""mad Syd"". This, instead, is a celebration of a moment when everything seemed possible, when creative worlds and forces converged, when an album spoke with an entirely new voice. ""Such music I never dreamed of,"" as Rat said to Mole.
