内容概要

CINEMA CLASSICS brings back into print clas-sic books that were the inspiration for some of the ost beloved films of all time. Too often it is for- gotten, or not even known, that many of theworld's favorite movies were first bestselling books, capturing the imagination of readers, as they would later do for moviegoers. And often the book is richer, deeper, and even more dramatic and compelling than the film, making the reading experience a pleasure all its own.    THE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI is such a classic, as both film and novel. First published in 1954, and released as a movie in 1957, starring Alec Guinness and William Holden, and winning seven Academy Awards including one for BestPicture, this is a spellbinding, epic World War II novel about the futility and insanity of war, viewed through the psychological confrontations between a willful British colonel prisoner-of-war and the equally willful Japanese colonel who is head of the camp. With pride, loyalty, tradition, heroism all brought into question, this is a story-- and film--that resonates with suspense, irony, and especially, utterly unforgettable characters.

•   早就听说当当网卖盗版书，今天我真的在当当网遇到这种倒霉事了。当当网发给我的这本《桂河大桥》英文版和网站里的封面完全一样，但是没有版权页，没有目录，也没有美元标价，只在书脊底部看到GRAMERCY的字样。我知道GRAMERCY是美国兰登出版公司旗下专门出版精品书的子公司。当当网太不道德了，竟然公开卖盗版书，以后请当当网书友在此购书时要小心。
