Set in the 1860s, The Leopard tells the spellbinding story of a decadent, dying Sicilian aristocracy threatened by the approaching forces of democracy and revolution. The dramatic sweep and richness of observation, the seamless intertwining of public and private worlds, and the grasp of human frailty imbue The Leopard with its particular melancholy beauty and power, and place it among the greatest historical novels of our time.

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a house in London, he soon discovers some strange and shocking things about his new client.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
A former professional boxer, actor, horse trainer and radio announcer, Charles Willeford is best known for his Miami-based crime novels featuring hard-boiled detective Hoke Moseley, including Miami Blues and Sideswipe. Of Cockfighter, Harry Crews said, “Charles Willeford renders the sport with such knowledge and attention to detail that...had the almost inexpressible impression of being on my knees again beside the great fighting pits of the southern circuit.

There are only 2 books that possess the answer to any question a man may have throughout his life. One is The Holy Bible, the other is Cockfighter by Charles Willeford

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 419
Chinatown is the Holy Grail of 1970s cinema. Its twist ending is the most notorious in American film and its closing line of dialogue the most haunting. Here for the first time is the incredible true story of its making. In Sam Wasson's telling, it becomes the defining story of the most colorful characters in the most colorful period of Hollywood history. Here is Jack Nicholson at the height of his powers, as compelling a movie star as there has ever been, embarking on his great, doomed love affair with Anjelica Huston.

not much
Revisado: 05-17-22
I love the movie Chinatown, I love Robert Evans and his The Kid Stays In The Picture, I love Roman Polanski and a great deal of his body of work, I love Jack Nicholson and could hear stories about him all day and night however listening to this after Leave The Gun, Take The Cannoli just made me realize that Chinatown's production although interesting doesn't really have the power behind it you may think. I enjoyed the set up of this book but once all the players are involved it sort of just happens. not bad but not great.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 25
The unblinking story of two lost and self-destructive drifters - a failed painter working as a counterman in a cheap diner and a woman in flight from domestic violence - trying to find a place for themselves in the back streets of San Francisco, Pick-Up is hardboiled writing at its nihilistic best.

Earlier Willeford thay is one of his strongest. didnt love the narrator at first but he settled in and ended up being very good i thought. the novel is fantastic with an explosive ending that made me want to pick up the book and do it all over again
