<div><b>Stories of twentieth-century American literary giants, by the man who was their friend, peer, and confidant </b><BR>When he was introduced to F. Scott Fitzgerald as a potential partner on a screenplay, novelist and scriptwriter Budd Schulberg was surprised the author was still alive. In Schulberg&rsquo;s view, the pressures of success and the public&rsquo;s merciless judgment had destroyed Fitzgerald&rsquo;s talent early in his career&mdash;a situation that is arguably typical for many of America&rsquo;s great literary geniuses. In <i>Writers in America</i>, Schulberg shares memories and insights from his relationships with authors such as Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, Nathaneal West, and Sinclair Lewis, as well as brilliant writers who never attained the success and recognition they deserved, such as Thomas Heggen. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>

<div><B>The Oscar-winning screenwriter of <I>On the Waterfront</I> recounts his life, his career, and &ldquo;how Hollywood became the dream factory it still is today&rdquo; (<I>Kirkus Reviews</I>).</B><BR />   When Seymour Wilson &ldquo;Budd&rdquo; Schulberg moved from New York to Los Angeles as a child, Hollywood&rsquo;s filmmaking industry was just getting started. To some, the region was still more famous for its citrus farms than its movie studios. In this iconic memoir, Schulberg, the son of one of Tinseltown&rsquo;s most influential producers, recounts the rise of the studios, the machinations of the studio heads, and the lives of some of cinema&rsquo;s earliest and greatest stars. Even as Hollywood grew to become one of the country&rsquo;s most powerful cultural and economic engines, it retained the feel of a company town for decades. Schulberg&rsquo;s sparkling recollections offer a unique insider view of both the glitter and dark side of the dream factory&rsquo;s early years. <I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</I></div>

<div><B>&ldquo;The quintessential novel of boxing and corruption.&rdquo; (<I>USA Today</I>).</B><BR />  &ldquo;Toro&rdquo; Molina certainly looks the part. He&rsquo;s built like the Minotaur, but few would guess at the fear consuming the Argentine farmer and former circus performer after he&rsquo;s brought to the United States to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. The problem is that Molina can&rsquo;t box at all. But monstrous fight promoter Nick Latka fixes every fight on the way to the championship, and builds Toro&rsquo;s renown with the help of cynical sports journalist Ed Lewis and a host of lackeys. First published in 1947, <I>The Harder They Fall</I> stands as a powerful expos&eacute; of professional boxing by one of the sport&rsquo;s true poet laureates. <I>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</I></div>

The Harder They Fall

<div><b>Schulberg&rsquo;s acclaimed and bestselling novel, based on a classic of American cinema</b><BR>In 1955, Budd Schulberg adapted his Academy Award&ndash;winning screenplay into an exhilarating novel. Suspenseful and emotional, the novel presents a more complex&mdash;and perhaps bleaker&mdash;portrait of ex-boxer Terry Malloy&rsquo;s corrupt and stunted world on the docks of Hoboken. Narrated by Father Pete Barry, the novel shifts focus to the courageous priest who stands up to the Mob, as well as his own church, in order to redeem the souls of his hardscrabble and unloved constituents. <i>On the Waterfront</i> is a potent retelling of an iconic American story that stands apart as an unforgettable vision of crime, politics, and class in the twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>

On the Waterfront

<div><b>Schulberg goes toe to toe with his lifelong passion in this collection of his greatest writings on boxing</b><BR>&ldquo;As much as I love boxing, I hate it.&rdquo; So begins screenwriter, novelist, and journalist Budd Schulberg&rsquo;s collection of essays on the sweet science of bruising, a sport that fueled his literary ambitions and unsettled his conscience from a young age. He gives riveting accounts of classic bouts, such as Rocky Marciano&ndash;Archie Moore, Muhammad Ali&ndash;George Foreman, and Marvin Hagler&ndash;Thomas Hearns. Yet these essays also offer insight into the sport&rsquo;s sociological significance from a man who covered its highlights and corruption-marred lowlights for decades. <i>Sparring with Hemingway</i> stands as the unparalleled history of boxing&rsquo;s place in American culture throughout the twentieth century.

Sparring with Hemingway

<div><b>Schulberg&rsquo;s Academy Award&ndash;winning screenplay about ex-boxer and dock worker Terry Malloy, whose talent made him a contender and whose courage will make him a hero</b><BR>The film <i>On the Waterfront </i>garnered eight Oscars; the leading role of Terry Malloy was perhaps Marlon Brando&rsquo;s tour de force. But none of these achievements would have been possible without the explosive, inspired script written by Budd Schulberg. The story of stevedores sweating and dying for a corrupt, Mob-run union, and one former boxer&rsquo;s quixotic fight for dignity, stands among the most iconic narratives of American cinema. Deeply influenced by Schulberg&rsquo;s own reporting on New York and New Jersey crime families, unions, and the boxing world, as well as on earlier reporting by Malcolm Johnson, this screenplay represents a singular confluence of American artistry and political history.

On the Waterfront: The Final Shooting Script

<div><B>Twenty gritty stories by the Academy Award&ndash;winning writer of <I>On the Waterfront</I> and <I>A Face in the Crowd</I>.</B><BR /><BR /> Despite growing up among Hollywood&rsquo;s most powerful producers and movie stars in the 1920s and &rsquo;30s, Budd Schulberg was always a populist at heart. In this collection of his best short fiction, Schulberg takes readers from the halls of privilege in Los Angeles to smoky dives and dockyard slums in New York. His eye for detail and nose for trouble render characters as vividly as a Weegee photograph. These stories also represent the great clash of people and ideas in mid-century America. The collection includes &ldquo;The Arkansas Traveler,&rdquo; the story Schulberg adapted into the influential, prescient film <I>A Face in the Crowd</I> starring Andy Griffith. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>

Some Faces in the Crowd

<div><b>Budd Schulberg&rsquo;s Academy Award&ndash;winning screenplay, updated as a stage drama for modern audiences</b><BR><BR>First performed in 1988 and again on Broadway in 1995, Budd Schulberg and Stan Silverman&rsquo;s stage version of <i>On the Waterfront</i> may represent the purest incarnation of his classic story. Produced forty years after the movie swept the Academy Awards, the subtly modernized stage play was a call to arms for a new generation. With this rendition, Schulberg and Silverman hoped to reach young people who seemed detached from the dehumanizing effects of poverty and the exploitation of society&rsquo;s most vulnerable. Set in the 1950s and featuring original protagonists Terry Malloy and Father Pete Barry, <i>On the Waterfront</i> continues to stand as a masterful and uniquely American tragedy.<BR> <BR>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div>
