brossura Nato dal genio registico di John Carpenter nel lontano 1978, "Halloween. La notte delle streghe" è ancora oggi considerato uno dei capolavori immortali della cinematografia mondiale. Un film che, ancora oggi, si apre a molteplici interpretazioni, riletture e analisi che abbracciano un campo d'indagine molto ampio, dalla critica cinematografica e letteraria alla psicologia sociale, dalla storia del cinema alla musicologia. Una figura emblematica, quella di Michael Myers, "The Shape", l'assassino silenzioso, immortale e invisibile, capace di instillare nel pubblico da quasi mezzo secolo, più interrogativi che non terrori ancestrali.
brossura "Il suo nome è John Carpenter, principe della mia invincibile, stupenda tenebra virulenta... Film dopo film, mi soffermo dinanzi a ogni sua opera con minuziosità chirurgica, dapprima malignamente per sfidare tanta magniloquenza così delicatamente adamantina, e poterne scovare i possibili difetti o le eventuali pecche ma poi, sebbene ardisca a voler trovar nelle sue opere incongruenti, registiche inesattezze e rudezze stilistiche, sebbene sia tentato dal voler approntare delle correzioni alla sua radicale, elevatissima visione, rimango soltanto incantatoriamente ipnotizzato dalla sua lucida, profetica, garbata ed equilibrata solennità intoccabile, poderosa e irresistibile. Perché è John Carpenter e non posso che giustamente venerarlo. E porgere questo mio sentito omaggio a lui, sì, al prince of darkness, estasiandomi nell'estatica luce del suo cinema rivelatorio e magnificente." (L'autore). Edizione in lingua inglese.

ill., br. John Carpenter è considerato da decenni "maestro dell'horror", titolo meritato grazie all'eredità che il genere ha ricevuto dalle sue opere, tuttavia tale titolo rischia di appannare ciò che questo straordinario regista ha donato anche al genere fantascientifico. L'intento di questo volume è infatti porre l'attenzione su ciò che Carpenter ha fatto per il cinema di fantascienza. Dopo averlo incontrato di persona, è stato chiaro che la fantascienza fu effettivamente il suo primo amore in termini cinematografici. La scelta di impostare questo libro con un taglio decisamente documentaristico è dovuta al desiderio di esporre i fatti, epurandoli da congetture o valutazioni estranee ai film in oggetto nella loro originalità. In queste pagine sono contenute le storie, gli aneddoti e le curiosità che orbitano intorno alle produzioni fantascientifiche di quest'ultimo, grazie ai racconti e alle memorie che Carpenter ed alcuni addetti ai lavori hanno deciso di condividere per la realizzazione di questo volume. Un percorso attraverso un pezzo importante di storia del cinema, arricchito da foto inedite e interviste esclusive.

ill., br. Nel panorama del cinema fantastico, John Carpenter è una vera e propria leggenda. I suoi film hanno segnato in maniera indelebile l'immaginario di generazioni di spettatori. Le sue opere solo superficialmente possono essere associate alla fantascienza o all'horror: in realtà sfruttano i meccanismi del genere per raccontarci i problemi e le contraddizioni della nostra società. Carpenter è per carattere un regista fuori dal tempo, o in anticipo sui tempi: molti dei suoi film più rappresentativi al momento dell'uscita nelle sale non furono capiti dal pubblico, o furono addirittura rifiutati, per essere rivalutati solo in un secondo momento e diventare veri e propri classici. Lo stesso regista si scontrò a più riprese con le regole degli Studios, finendo per essere riconosciuto come autore prima in Europa che in patria. Anche se da tempo si è ritirato dalle scene, John Carpenter resta ancora un punto di riferimento: lo spirito inquieto che anima il suo cinema non smette di parlarci e i suoi film sono ormai dei cult, con i quali spettatori e giovani registi sono chiamati a fare i conti.

1966réf. 5482New York: Harcourt Brace & World Inc 1966. First edition of the author's classic work. Octavo original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the half title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Books signed by Carpenter are rare. Don Carpenter's Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out but never down for good--a Dostoyevskian tale of crime punishment and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. "Hard Rain Falling is a unique read; violent tender inexorable and melancholic; a beat-era book of disaffected young men devoid of On the Road euphoria but more poignant and gripping for its fatalistic grounding. The small lives contained herein are indelible" Richard Price. Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc hardcover books
1962réf. 102763New York: Simon and Schuster 1962. First edition of this first-hand account of the genesis of America's manned space program. Octavo original cloth pictorial endpapers illustrated. Signed on the half-title page by John Glenn Scott Carpenter Wally Schirra Gordon Cooper and comedian Bill Dana aka Jose Jimenez. Jimenez was a fictional character created and performed by comedian Bill Dana on The Steve Allen Show in 1959 and who became increasingly popular during the 1960s and is cited in this volume on several occasions. This character introduced himself with the catch phrase: "My name. Jose Jimenez". The character of Jose Jimenez caught on with the seven real Mercury astronauts and Dana became good friends with them: "Okay Jose you're on your way!" Deke Slayton quipped as Alan Shepard's famous first flight launched. Jose became the program's unofficial mascot and Dana was even made an honorary Mercury astronaut. Coincidentally there was a real test pilot named Bill Dana who flew as high as 59 miles up and qualified for NASA's Astronaut Badge. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. A unique signed example. The first seven American astronauts were an admirable group of individuals chosen to sit at the apex of a pyramid of human effort. In volunteering to entrust their lives to Mercury's spirit and Atlas' strength to blaze a trail for man into the empyrean they chose to lead by following the opportunity that chance circumstance technology and history had prepared for them" Swenson Grimwood & Alexander 164-65.
