A Magic Lantern by Ingmar Bergman
Building on the story begun in The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring this is the second part of Tolkiens epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, featuring a striking black cover based on Tolkiens own design, the definitive text, and a detailed map of Middle-earth.
"Bergman's minute recall is essentially, astonishingly, visualDescription after description stamp out scenes from his films. The man, his memory, his work are one.... It is wonderfully liberating to be made privy to the tangible relish in his craft.... The Magic Lantern is no conventional autobiography, more a scalding stream of consciousness from the pen of a licentious puritan." - New York Review of Books "[Bergman] has found a way to show the soul's landscape.... Many gripping revelations." - New York Times Book Review "Joan Tate's translation of this book has delicacy and true pitch.... The Magic Lantern is as personal and penetrating as a Bergman film, wry, shadowy, austere." - New Republic "[Bergman] keeps returning to his past, reassessing it, distilling its meaning, offering it to his audiences in dazzling new shapes." - New York Times "What Bergman does relate, particularly his tangled relationships with his parents, is not only illuminating but quite moving. No 'tell-all' book this one, but revealing in ways that much longer and allegedly 'franker' books are not." - Library Journal"
