<p>From the front flap of this 272 page book: "Silent films are sometimes dismissed as quaint or out of date because of their jerky, scratchy quality; this book and the Thames Television series with which it is associated, set out to show that they were, in fact, beautiful as well as vastly entertaining works of art. Kevin Brownlow, with the help of John Kobal and his unique collection of early stills, recaptures the legendary days of film-makers like Cecil B. DeMille, King Vidor, Erich von Stroheim and D.W. Griffith, of stars like Garbo, the Barrymores, Gloria Swanson, Keaton, Chaplin and Valentino. The early days of Hollywood must be among the most adventurous, extravagant and triumphant that the world of entertainment has ever known. From the first tentative essays of a few bold innovators, Hollywood blossomed almost overnight into a major industry, breeding millionaires and bankrupts, making outrageous demands on those who served it, producing in those early years some of the supreme triumphs of the movie-maker's art. 'Hollywood: The Pioneers' tells the story as never before. Kevin Brownlow, who, with David Gill, directed the Thames Television series, marshalls his great knowledge of the subject with lucidity and wit; the photographs - almost all taken from originals and many never seen before - are dramatically beautiful. This is a book for anybody interested in the cinema or who has seen the television series on which it is based will wish to acquire and cherish."</p>

"HAUNTING."--The New York Times Book ReviewJane Smiley, the Pultizer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres, gives us a magnificent novel of fourteenth-century Greenland. Rich with fascinating detail about the day-to-day joys and innumerable hardships of remarkable people, The Greenlanders is also the compelling story of one family--proud landowner Asgeir Gunnarsson; his daughter Margret, whose willful independence leads her into passionate adultery and exile; and his son Gunnar, whose quest for knowledge is at the compelling center of this unforgettable book. Echoing the simple power of the old Norse sagas, here is a novel that brings a remote civilization to life and shows how it was very like our own."TOTALLY COMPELLING . . . FASCINATING . . . In the manner of the big books of the nineteenth century, in which complex family and community matters unravel--Dickens, Dumas, Tolstoy--The Greenlanders sweeps the reader along. . . . Jane Smiley is a true storyteller."--The Washington Post"A POWERFUL, MOVING STUDY OF HUMAN FRAILTY AND THE EPHEMERAL NATURE OF COURAGE AND LOVE."--USA Today"WONDERFUL . . . A HISTORICAL NOVEL WITH THE NEARNESS OF CONTEMPORARY FICTION."--The New Republic"[AN] EPIC MASTERPIECE . . . SPELLBINDING."--Newsday
