The authors show how this practice, deeply rooted in western epistemological traditions, evolved from the art of photography through magic lantern and stage shows into the motion picture industry, arguing that the sight of muscles in action induced a higher degree of viewer entertainment. From Eugen Sandow to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, muscular actors appear capable of performing the miraculous, and with the aid of stuntmen and filming contrivances, they do. By such means, muscles are used to perfect the art of illusion, inherent in movie-making from its earliest days. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9780826222152

This one is neither. In his powerful, angry and passionate book, Kirk Douglas tells the story of his life in his own words, holding back nothing. Born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, the son of an illiterate immigrant Russian-Jewish ragman, in Amsterdam, New York, Douglas paints a searing and unforgettable picture of an almost Dickensian childhood of brutal poverty - the background that has dominated his life as an actor, father and man, fuelling the great creative anger that has added such depth to his performances. With profound and moving insight, he shows how the determination to overcome that childhood and succeed on his own terms led him to take on roles that most stars of his magnitude would never have risked - Van Gogh, in LUST FOR LIFE; Spartacus the slave; the courageous, conscience-stricken Colonel Dax, in PATHS OF GLORY; the agonized boxer Midge, in CHAMPION, to name only a few - and to fight the studios and the Hollywood establishment for the right to control and produce his own movies, long before it was common practice for stars to do so."
