Woody Allen

Asher Baum está perdiendo el juicio. Pero, ¿a quién no le pasaría en su lugar?Baum es un escritor judío de mediana edad, petulante e inadaptado, que no logra hacerse un hueco en el mundo literario y se encuentra ridiculamente paralizado por preocupaciones neuroticas sobre la futilidad y el vacio de la existencia. Su tercer matrimonio se tambalea, sus libros reciben criticas tibias y su prestigioso editor neoyorquino lo ha abandonado a su suerte. Por si fuera poco, tiene que soportar la relacion, demasiado estrecha, de su mujer con su hijo, un escritor joven y exitoso. Pero de repente descubre un secreto sorprendente que puede cambiarlo todo.¿Que pasa con Baum? es una evocadora carta de amor a Nueva York y una novela sumamente entretenida, repleta de esos momentos desternillantes y absurdos solo al alcance de Woody Allen, que recrea con humor irreverente la escena cultural neoyorquina, las miserias de la vida familiar, el declive del amor en las parejas y el destino fatal de quienes son ensalzados pese a su mediocridad... Woody Allen en estado puro.

"Un modesto guardiano notturno riceve pacchi di pubblicita postale, tra cui l''invito a iscriversi a una setta new age. Un famoso brigante indiano decide di rapire una star di Bollywood per chiedere un enorme riscatto e rifarsi una vita. Un tizio entra in un negozio super-moderno di abbigliamento, dove gli offrono abiti tecnologici speciali: alcuni trattengono i cattivi odori, altri sono impossibili da macchiare, altri catturano l''elettricita e permettono di ricaricare automaticamente il telefonino... I vertici della Disney sono scossi da una causa tra manager, Topolino viene chiamato a testimoniare al processo e scopre gli ""altarini"" di famiglia: Pippo e gay e tossicodipendente, Pluto soffre di gelosia, Paperino ha l''amante, ecc. ecc. ""Pura anarchia"" segna il ritorno di Woody Allen alla narrativa. "

'I am greatly relieved that the universe is finally explainable. I was beginning to think it was me.' Thus begins 'Strung Out', Woody Allen's hilarious application of the laws of the universe to daily life. Mere Anarchy, Woody Allen's first new collection in 25 years, features eighteen witty, wild and intelligent comic pieces eight of which have never been in print before. Surreal, absurd, rich in verbal play, bitingly satirical and just plan daft in the mode we have grown to love from his finest films, this flight-of-fancy collection includes tales of a body double who, mistaken for the film's star, is kidnapped by outlaws; a pretentious novelist forced to work on the novelisation of a Three Stooges film; a nanny secretly writing an expose of her Manhattan employers; crooks selling bespoke prayers on eBay; and how to react when you're asked to finance a Broadway play about the invention and manufacture of the adjustable showerhead.

"I am greatly relieved that the universe is finally explainable. I was beginning to think it was me." Thus begins 'Strung Out', Woody Allen's hilarious application of the laws of the universe to daily life. MERE ANARCHY, Woody Allen's first new collection in 25 years, features eighteen witty, wild and intelligent comic pieces - nine of which have never been in print before. Surreal, absurd, rich in verbal play, bitingly satirical and just plain daft, this collection includes tales of a body double - mistaken for the film's star - kidnapped by outlaws; a pretentious writer forced to work on the novelisation of a Three Stooges film; a nanny secretly writing an expose of her Manhattan employers; crooks selling bespoke prayers on ebay; and how to react when you're asked to finance a Broadway play about the invention and manufacture of the adjustable showerhead. Laced with his unique brand of humour and reminiscent of some of his finest films, MERE ANARCHY is an essential collection of tales by the inimitable Woody Allen.

"Per oltre trent''anni Woody Allen ha conversato regolarmente e sinceramente con Eric Lax, facendolo andare sui suoi set, facendolo entrare nel suo studio, consentendogli di chiedergli (quasi) qualunque cosa. Dal 1971 al 2007, Woody Allen discute con lui di tutto: dai suoi film al suo modo di scrivere, dalle sue ossessioni (il jazz, Freud e le donne) ai suoi attori preferiti, dalle sue depressioni ai film che ama di piu alla relazione con Soon-Yi che ha portato alla crisi del sodalizio con Mia Farrow. Ne esce un ritratto a tutto tondo di una delle personalita piu curiose dei nostri giorni. Non mancano materiali inediti che aggiungono piu di un elemento a tutto quello che, su Woody Allen, si sa. Non mancano spunti esilaranti, col solito, irresistibile, suo cinismo: ""Credo fermamente che quando sei morto, leggere il tuo nome su una strada non aiuta il tuo metabolismo."" "

The long-awaited, enormously entertaining memoir by one of the great artists of our time. In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Annie and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.
