HOLLYWOOD(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　”Wicked and provocative…Vidal’s purview of Hollywood in one
of its golden ages is fascinating.” –“Chicago Tribune” In his
brilliant and dazzling new novel, Gore Vidal sweeps us into one of
the most fascinating periods of American political and social
change. The time is 1917. In Washington, President Wilson is about
to lead the United States into the Great War. In California, a new
industry is born that will transform America: moving pictures. Here
is history as only Gore Vidal can re-create it: brimming with
intrigue and scandal, peopled by the greats of the silver screen
and American politics, from Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks
to Franklin D. Roosevelt and the author’s own grandfather, the
blind Senator Gore. With Hollywood, Vidal once again proves himself
a superb storyteller and a perceptive chronicler of human nature’s
endless deceptions. “From the Paperback edition.”

　　Gore Vidal has been at the centre of literary and intellectual
life for half a century. He lives in Italy.
