Summary

This collector's edition is cleanly formatted for easy reading. 12 point Garamond, 1.15 spacing. Three Men in a Boat is a comical account of three friends: Jerome, Harris, George and their dog Montmorency. The three friends agree that they are overworked and tired and in dire need of a holiday. After weighing options of a country trip and a sea voyage they decide on a boat ride to the River Thames. Right from hiring the boat to planning their activities the story escalates into a comical sketch of numerous camping and boating mishaps. Three Men in a Boat is a humourous and witty book for all ages and all generations. Jerome has a knack for accentuating the comical even in the mundane and serious. Every chapter brings with it an abundance of amusement and laughter. The writing is sharp, witty and timeless. One of the many remarkable things about Three Men in a Boat is how fresh the humour is to modern day readers. It was an instant success when it appeared in 1889 and is still a bestseller to this day.

    From New Yorker film critic Richard Brody, Everything Is Cinema: The Working Life of Jean-Luc Godard presents a "serious-minded and meticulously detailed . . . account of the lifelong artistic journey" of one of the most influential filmmakers of our age (The New York Times).When Jean-Luc Godard wed the ideals of filmmaking to the realities of autobiography and current events, he changed the nature of cinema. Unlike any earlier films, Godard's work shifts fluidly from fiction to documentary, from criticism to art. The man himself also projects shifting images—cultural hero, fierce loner, shrewd businessman. Hailed by filmmakers as a—if not the—key influence on cinema, Godard has entered the modern canon, a figure as mysterious as he is indispensable.In Everything Is Cinema, critic Richard Brody has amassed hundreds of interviews to demystify the elusive director and his work. Paying as much attention to Godard's technical inventions as to the political forces of the postwar world, Brody traces an arc from the director's early critical writing, through his popular success with Breathless, to the grand vision of his later years. He vividly depicts Godard's wealthy conservative family, his fluid politics, and his tumultuous dealings with women and fellow New Wave filmmakers.Everything Is Cinema confirms Godard's greatness and shows decisively that his films have left their mark on screens everywhere.
