Marianne Gunn O'Connor

William Goldman’s beloved novel has sold over one million copies. A movie, released twenty years ago, perfectly captured the spirit of the book and has introduced new fans to its pages ever since. In 1941 a young boy lies bedridden from pneumonia. His perpetually disheveled and unattractive father, an immigrant from Florin with terribly broken English, shuffles into his bedroom carrying a book. The boy wants to know if it has any sports. His father says, "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passions. Miracles." And the little boy, though he doesn’t know it, is about to change forever. As Goldman says, "What happened was just this. I got hooked on the story." And coming generations of readers will, too.

The author of "Adventures in the Screen Trade" provides an inside look at the Cannes Film Festivals and the Miss America Pageant from his unique perspective as a judge, offering anecdotes about the judging process

Hype and Glory

Acclaimed for such Academy Award—winning screenplays as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and such thrillers as Marathon Man, not to mention the bestselling classic The Princess Bride, William Goldman stands as one of the most beloved writers in America. But long before these triumphs, he caused a sensation with his brilliant first novel, a powerful story of reckless youth that was hailed as a worthy rival to The Catcher in the Rye. THE TEMPLE OF GOLD Ray Trevitt is coming of age in the American midwest of the late 1950s. Handsome, restless, eager to live life and to find his place in the world, Ray hurtles headlong through a young man’s rite of passage–searching for answers and somewhere to belong. What he discovers is that within friendships and love affairs, army tours and married life, victory and tragedy, lie the experiences that will shape his destiny, scar his soul, and ultimately teach him profound lessons he never expected.

»Die Brautprinzessin« ist ein raffiniertes Abenteuer und eine atemlose, clevere Romanze. William Goldman lädt seine Leserinnen und Leser zu einem betörenden Spiel eines wilden Textes voll von schrägen Kommentaren ein. Traurig und hinterlistig, verspielt, blutig und zeitlos. Wahnsinnig und wunderschön. Erzählt wird die Geschichte einer jungen Frau namens Butterblume und dem Stalljungen Westley, der unsterblich in sie verliebt ist. Bedroht wird diese Liebe durch Prinz Humperdinck und dessen Macht:
»Ich bin dein Prinz und du musst mich heiraten«, sagte Humperdinck.

»Ich bin Eure Dienerin und lehne ab«, flüsterte Butterblume.

»Ich bin der Prinz, und du kannst nicht ablehnen.«

»Ich bin Eure sehr ergebene Dienerin, und ich habe eben abgelehnt.«

»Weigerung bedeutet Tod.«

»Dann tötet mich.«
