{"product_id":"2940170442379","title":"Steven Spielberg: A Life In Films","description":"\"Everything about me is in my films,\" Steven Spielberg has said. Taking this as a key to understanding the hugely successful moviemaker, Molly Haskell explores the full range of Spielberg's works for the light they shine upon the man himself. Through such powerhouse hits as \u003ci\u003eClose Encounters of the Third Kind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eE.T.\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJurassic Park\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIndiana Jones\u003c\/i\u003e, to less-appreciated movies like \u003ci\u003eEmpire of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, to the haunting \u003ci\u003eSchindler's List\u003c\/i\u003e, Haskell shows how Spielberg's uniquely evocative filmmaking and story-telling reveal the many ways in which his life, work, and times are entwined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganizing chapters around specific films, the distinguished critic discusses how Spielberg's childhood in non-Jewish suburbs, his parents' traumatic divorce, his return to Judaism upon his son's birth, and other events echo in his work. She offers a brilliant portrait of the extraordinary director-a small, unhappy boy living through his imagination who grew into a man whose openness, generosity of spirit, and creativity have enchanted audiences for more than forty years.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115323343088,"sku":"2940170442379","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170442379_p0.jpg?v=1763802849","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170442379","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
