Arrested and imprisoned in a small Swiss town, a prisoner begins this book with an exclamation: "I'm not Stiller!" He claims that his name is Jim White, that he has been jailed under false charges and under the wrong identity. To prove he is who he claims to be, he confesses to three unsolved murders and recalls in great detail an adventuresome life in America and Mexico among cowboys and peasants, in back alleys and docks. He is consumed by "the morbid impulse to convince," but no one believes him. This is a harrowing account part Kafka, part Camus of the power of self-deception and the freedom that ultimately lies in self-acceptance. Simultaneously haunting and humorous, I'm Not Stiller has come to be recognized as "one of the major post-war works of fiction" and a masterpiece of German literature. Views: 671

Dread lives in the Northern Bronx of New York on the ground level, and is a member of the Bronx gang called The Beatles. After the Beatles leader Clark Kent takes a liking to Christopher Robin Dread, (probably because his middle name is Robin,) Dread finds himself now the sidekick of a guy who wears a super hero outfit and thinks he's Batman.

The team of crime fighters soon find themselves over their heads when they uncover a plot by Washington DC to plant bombs in the New York Mega-City.

Worse, his home is being betrayed by cybernetic priests from hell.From Director Steven Spielberg: Jurassic Park is an in-depth analysis of Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster 'Jurassic Park'. The book looks at how Spielberg evolved themes explored in films like 'Duel' and 'Jaws', with a particular emphasis on his use of horror movie tropes, audience involvement, nature and masculinity.By doing this, the book aims to reassess 'Jurassic Park' as more than just an entertaining blockbuster and tremendous technical achievement, but a vital bridge between the Spielberg who wowed audiences with blockbusters such as 'Jaws' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', and the Spielberg who explored more serious issues in films like 'Schindler's List' and 'Lincoln'.
