Описание: James Hadley Chase (Ren Brabazon Raymond) was born in London in 1906 and started his career as a bookseller. With the aid of a dictionary of American slang and reference books on the American underworld he wrote his first novel, NO ORCHIDS FOR MISS BLANDISH, over six weekends. The book achieved remarkable popularity and became one of the best-sold books of the decade. FLESH OF THE ORCHID is a wild, thrill-ride of a sequel to NO ORCHIDS. Taking up the story 22 years later, the central figure is once again a Blandish girl, but Carol Blandish is not the helpless victim that her mother was. Indeed, she is a volatile blend of simmering sexuality, strained innocence and hair-trigger cruelty. Her explosive outbursts of savage violence make her a force to be reckoned with. Escaping from a mental institute during a raging storm, and definitely off her meds, Carol Blandish is soon pursued by a seedy cast of characters who all want a piece of the Blandish fortune. The novel bristles with crazy plot twists, edge-of-the-seat suspense and intriguing low-life's who mix it up for an immensely enjoyable read.
Описание: From "Vogue" contributor and "Guardian" columnist Hadley Freeman, a personalized guide to eighties movies that describes why they changed movie-making forever featuring exclusive interviews with the producers, directors, writers and stars of the best cult classics. For Hadley Freeman, movies of the 1980s have simply got it all. Comedy in "Three Men and a Baby," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "Ghostbusters," and "Back to the Future"; all a teenager needs to know in "Pretty in Pink," "Ferris Bueller s Day Off," "Say Anything," "The Breakfast Club," and "Mystic Pizza"; the ultimate in action from "Top Gun," "Die Hard," "Beverly Hills Cop," and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"; love and sex in "9 1/2 Weeks," "Splash," "About Last Night," "The Big Chill," and "Bull Durham"; and family fun in "The Little Mermaid," "ET," "Big," "Parenthood," and "Lean On Me." In "Life Moves Pretty Fast," Hadley puts her obsessive movie geekery to good use, detailing the decade s key players, genres, and tropes. She looks back on a cinematic world in which bankers are invariably evil, where children are always wiser than adults, where science is embraced with an intense enthusiasm, and the future viewed with giddy excitement. And, she considers how the changes between movies then and movies today say so much about society s changing expectations of women, young people, and art and explains why "Pretty in Pink" should be put on school syllabuses immediately. From how John Hughes discovered Molly Ringwald, to how the friendship between Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi influenced the evolution of comedy, and how Eddie Murphy made America believe that race can be transcended, this is a highly personal, witty love letter to eighties movies, but also an intellectually vigorous, well-researched take on the changing times of the film industry ("The Guardian")."
