Elia Kazan Reihenfolge der Bücher

This fully annotated selection of Elia Kazan’s letters reveals all the passion, vitality, and raw honesty that made him such a towering figure in American theater and film. Kazan’s determination to be a “sincere, conscious, practicing artist” resounds through every phase of his career: his apprenticeship with the Group Theatre, his co-founding of the Actors Studio and co-direction of the Repertory Theater of Lincoln Center, and his innovative directing on Broadway (A Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman) and in Hollywood (On the Waterfront and East of Eden). Kazan collaborated with some of the greatest writers of the era, including Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Thornton Wilder, and John Steinbeck. His letters to and about Marlon Brando, James Dean, Warren Beatty, Robert De Niro, and others are full of insights on acting and directing. We see his heated dealings with studio moguls, his principled resistance to censorship, the upheavals of testifying before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. We glimpse his inner life in his startlingly candid letters to his first wife and those to and about his children. The Selected Letters provides an extraordinary portrait of a complex, intense, monumentally talented man who engaged the political, moral, and artistic currents of the twentieth century.

Elia Kazan was the twentieth century’s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work. Kazan’s list of Broadway and Hollywood successes—A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a few—is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazan’s method: how he uncovered the “spine,” or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. And in the final section, “The Pleasures of Directing”—written during Kazan’s final years—he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.

Eddie Anderson, bohater powieści Kazana zdecydować nie potrafi, cierpi. Związany z dwiema kobietami, każdej z nich kłamie chcąc mówić prawdę. W żadnym z 'układów' nie może być pogodzony z sobą, żadnego nie chce się do końca wyrzec... Czyta Jacek Popiołek

Erweiterte Neuausgabe der deutschen Erstausgabe von Amerika Amerika von 1963. Amerika Amerika (1963/64) war ursprünglich als reines Filmscript gedacht, und so liest sich der Roman wie die Beschreibung eines Films in einfachen, dabei intensiven und anschaulichen Bildern, wodurch das Buch auch zu einem mustergültigen Beispiel für filmisches Erzählen wird. Basierend auf seiner eigenen Familiengeschichte erzählt Kazan den abenteuerlichen Weg eines jungen Griechen aus dem Südosten der Türkei nach Amerika, dem »Land der Freiheit«, vor dem Hintergrund der Unterdrückung der griechischen und armenischen Minderheiten zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Band enthält weiterhin als deutsche Erstveröffentlichungen zwei Gespräche mit Elia Kazan über die Entstehungsgeschichte und die Hintergründe des Films America America. In einem umfangreichen Interview zu On The Waterfront beschreibt Kazan auf faszinierende Weise seine Arbeit als Drehbuchautor und Regisseur, insbesondere die Dreharbeiten mit Marlon Brando, und nimmt Stellung zu seinen umstrittenen Aussagen vor dem Komitee für unamerikanische Aktivitäten (HUAC) in der McCarthy-Ära.
