Arthur Ransome was, from 1930 to the early 1960s, what Rowling is today: author of a series of children`s books which shaped the imagination of a generation.

As the Red Army engaged with an Allied invasion of Russia, Ransome was conducting a love affair with Evgenia Shelepina, private secretary to Leon Trotsky, then Soviet Commissar for War.

The studio lot looks like `thirty acres of fairyland` the night that a mysterious woman stands and smiles at Monroe Stahr, the last of the great Hollywood princes. Enchanted by one another, they begin a passionate but hopeless love affair, starting with a fast-moving seduction as slick as a scene from one of Stahr`s pictures. The romance unfolds, frame by frame, watched by Cecilia, a thoroughly modern girl who has taken her lessons in sentiment and cynicism from all the movies she has seen. Her buoyant humour and satirical eye perfectly complement Fitzgerald`s panorama of Hollywood at its most lavish and bewitching. Формат: 12,5 см x 19,5 см.
