一手遮天的天才製片人，會成功？還是墜落？《大亨小傳》作者費滋傑羅，揭開美國影視產業最真實的一面片場風華×拍攝秘辛×商業角力×時代巨擘以好萊塢傳奇製片人為原型，刻劃理想與命運、情慾與鬥爭、輝煌與幻滅帶你深入大銀幕的黃金年代【特別收錄】村上春樹 日文版翻譯後記〈即使明知最後會輸〉【紀念珍藏】The Great Gatsby 100周年經典藏書票「費滋傑羅撇除偏見，鮮明地捕捉到在那個瀰漫著野性氛圍的早期電影界裡的蒙羅．斯塔爾——他的原型歐文．撒爾柏格作為角色的魅力，他們的成功與發達華麗耀眼，他們的沒落也極盡悲哀。翻譯本書時，深深嘆服於費滋傑羅圓熟的筆力。」——村上春樹 1930年代，好萊塢的浮華世界裡，蒙羅‧斯塔爾是電影帝國的傳奇，他以無與倫比的才華與熱情，試圖在商業及藝術之間尋求平衡，抓住了所有人的目光，同時，也墜入了權力與孤獨的漩渦。 透過年輕女孩西西莉亞之眼，見證這位製片天才的輝煌與脆弱：他與神祕的女子凱斯琳邂逅，喚醒對亡妻的記憶，點燃了這場充滿注定無果的愛情；他與商業對手布雷迪較量，從幻想的電影延燒到真正的謀殺計畫，揭露了電影產業的黑暗面；他追求頂尖，對片場導演、編劇、助理、技術人員既關愛也嚴厲，他的指令就是鐵律。於是，當地震撼動片場、工會風暴來襲，斯塔爾的理想與命運也在好萊塢的鎂光燈下搖搖欲墜…… 作者費滋傑羅以其詩意的散文與深刻的洞察，捕捉好萊塢黃金時代的榮光與殞落，以動人的浪漫與悲劇勾勒出美國夢的幻滅，堪稱文學史上對電影產業最真實深刻的描寫──「人生在本質上就是一場勝負之爭，最後自己肯定會輸。說到能得到的回報，不是什麼幸福快樂，而是艱苦抗爭所帶來的更深刻的滿足。」◆故事原型：美國電影產業的傳奇──歐文‧撒爾柏格 作者費滋傑羅以米高梅電影公司的電影製片人 歐文‧撒爾柏格（Irving Thalberg），作為本作主角蒙羅‧斯塔爾的角色原型，他曾寫道：「我深受撒爾柏格的吸引，因為他獨特的魅力，出眾的俊美容貌，華麗的豐功偉業，以及大冒險式的悲劇性結局。」 撒爾柏格出生布魯克林，因患有心臟病被診斷活不過30歲。兒時體弱多病，但聰明好學，高中畢業就去當秘書，雇主是當時環球電影公司的老闆，憑藉著聰明的頭腦及對大眾喜好的高度掌握，21歲就當上環球電影公司的主管，被譽為「wonder boy」（神奇之子）。接著，26歲時被任命為米高梅電影公司（MGM）的製片總監，

本書是愛諾莉·多麗女士的《鐳的女人》(The Radium woman一九三四版)的全譯本，是以另一種生動的掌觸，來描繪科學之女居禮夫人的傳記！多麗女士為英國著名的教育家，兒童文學家。 她除了本書以外，還有《The insecr Mam，法布爾·蟲的詩人》以及《The Microbe Mam，巴斯德・微生物的獵人》等等。這三本書號稱多麗夫人的傳記三傑作。 尤其是本書更為聞名，一九三九年，曾經獲得一九三八年英國卡內基文學獎（頒給英國優秀的兒童文學作品）；這個獎項是紀念蘇格蘭出生的美國「鋼鐵大王」安德魯·卡內基，相當於美國的紐伯瑞文學獎。 居禮夫人的傳記，以艾普・居禮撰寫的《居禮夫人傳》，被公認為最為優秀。或許有人會認為————艾普是居禮夫人的女兒，當然能夠栩栩如生的描寫。然而，艾普的那一隻筆卻能夠很客觀的捕捉母親及父親，叫人感覺到她似乎並非在書寫母親的生平。 多麗女士在寫這一本書時，曾經參考了艾普所書寫的傳記，但是，她也發揮出自己出色的描寫方式，例如————她非常鮮活的描述少女時代的居禮夫人，尤其是對於她不甘落人後，求上進的性格，描寫得淋漓盡致，呼之欲出，使我們感覺到瑪妮雅似乎就在眼前似的！ 關於科學方面的記述，她又能夠以淺顯的筆調寫出，使青少年朋友也能夠一清二楚。 同時，她不僅把居禮夫人當成科學者描述，而且也以自然而然的方式，把居禮夫人做為一個人的偉大處顯露了出來。 多麗女士所撰寫的傳記，何以能夠如此的生動，打動人心呢？ 原來，多麗女士在執筆撰寫人物傳記以前，必定會前往該人物生活的土地，徹底地展開調查的緣故。 例如，以這一本書來說，居禮夫人勞苦的生活，專心從事研究的巴黎的學生街，就被描寫得又正確又逼真。 如果你憑著這一本書，到巴黎街頭徜徉的話，必定能夠碰到居禮夫人走過的街道，專心一致地從事研究的場所，以及貧窮地過日子的那一棟房子。 如果你想更進一步瞭解居禮夫人的話，不妨也閱讀艾普所撰寫的《居禮夫人傳》！
