Budd Schulberg

The classic book that shaped two generations’ view of the movie business and introduced the archetypal Hollywood player Sammy Glick. He’s got a machete mouth and a genius for double-cross. As Budd Shulberg—author of the screenplay On the Waterfront —follows Sammy’s relentless upward progress, he creates a virtuoso study in character that manages to be hilariously appalling yet deeply compassionate. “Sammy Glick remains at the top of the Hollywood sleaze heap, a hustler nonpareil…. What Makes Sammy Run? Is still the quintessential novel about “the all-American heel.’” – Moredcai Richler, GQ

Budd Schulberg's celebrated novel of the prize ring has lost none of its power since its first publication almost fifty years ago. Crowded with unforgettable characters, it is a relentless expose of the fight racket. A modern Samson in the form of a simple Argentine peasant is ballyhooed by an unscrupulous fight promoter and his press agent and then betrayed and destroyed by connivers. Mr. Schulberg creates a wonderfully authentic atmosphere for this book that many critics hailed as even better than What Makes Sammy Run? "The quintessential novel of boxing and corruption."― USA Today "The book will stand not only as the novel about boxing but also as a book that indirectly tells more about civilization than do most books about civilization itself."―Arthur Miller. "Brilliant, witty, and amusing―the best book on fighting that I have read."―Gene Tunney.

A portrait of an age of both dazzling spirit and bitter disillusionment, based on the last drunken days of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The 1920 a golden age, and Manley Halliday is a golden figure. Lauded by the critics, this great writer of the decade has everything - beauty, brilliance, wealth, and a strikingly lovely wife. But years later, in the very different atmosphere of the thirties, Halliday is a shadow of his former self, cast up on the inhospitable shores of Hollywood. When Shep, a young and ambitious Hollywood screenwriter, is partnered up with Halliday, he is awestruck to find himself working alongside a literary hero. Enlisted by movie mogul Victor Milgrim to co-write college musical Love on Ice, the pair embark on a journey to New York. But Shep may find that his vision of the great Manley Halliday fails to match up with the man himself ...

Schulberg’s acclaimed and bestselling novel, based on a classic of American cinemaIn 1955, Budd Schulberg adapted his Academy Award–winning screenplay into an exhilarating novel. Suspenseful and emotional, the novel presents a more complex—and perhaps bleaker—portrait of ex-boxer Terry Malloy’s corrupt and stunted world on the docks of Hoboken. Narrated by Father Pete Barry, the novel shifts focus to the courageous priest who stands up to the Mob, as well as his own church, in order to redeem the souls of his hardscrabble and unloved constituents. On the Waterfront is a potent retelling of an iconic American story that stands apart as an unforgettable vision of crime, politics, and class in the twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.

Raised in the Hollywood of the 1920s as the privileged son of a pioneer studio mogul, Budd Schulberg went on to win fame as a distinguished novelist, short story writer, playwright, Oscar-winning screenwriter, and boxing historian. Moving Pictures is his fascinating remembrance of growing up amidst the glamour, swank, courage, triumphs, defeats, cabals, and double-crosses of an industry in the making. His utterly candid account includes unsparing portraits of outsized characters in all their power, venality, charm, pettiness, and vindictiveness. As a book on the early days of the movies in Hollywood, this one is hard to beat. Abundantly illustrated with black-and-white photographs.

One of the most accomplished novelists and screenwriters of our time (What Makes Sammy Run?, On the Waterfront), Budd Schulberg is a master of the art of the short story, as he proved in his early collection Some Faces in the Crowd. The crowd is the American landscape: indelible characters drawn coast-to-coast from the teeming streets of New York to tables at Hollywood's legendary nightclub, Ciro's. In these sparkling stories, Schulberg brings us vivid, restless people haunted by abrupt failure in the wake of rapid success. In "The Arkansas Traveler" he gives us Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes's down-home stories of Riddle, Arkansas, which later became the stuff of the celebrated movie A Face in the Crowd.

Book by Schulberg, Budd

In this bountiful collection of his best boxing writing of a lifetime, Mr. Schulberg takes his fans all the way back to an epic bare-knuckle contest in England two hundred years ago; draws a revealing portrait of Uncle Mike Jacobs, the impresario of boxing in its Golden Age; expertly places Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali in the social history of their times; brings fans up to date in the careers of the great names of recent decades-Tyson, Holyfield, DeLaHoya, Hopkins, Chico Corrales; and much more. His writing sparkles with authority and insight. Here is great prose on great fighters, laced with a realistic sense of boxing's wrongs as well as its rights. Publication of Ringside is an event in the world of sports reportage.

Budd Schulberg's classic story of the New York waterfront and the kid who “coulda been a contender” is best known in its memorable movie version with Marlon Brando. But here, adapted for the stage by Mr. Schulberg and Stan Silverman, it remains a moving and powerful drama. This play script for On the Waterfront has been used in theatres large and small, throughout the country, to great success. It offers amateur and professional groups an opportunity to re-create Mr. Schulberg's indelible characters and highly charged moments. Helpful stage suggestions are included, and the author introduces the script with a reminiscence that is both poignant and informative. As with all Plays for Performance books, this one is presented with production values uppermost in mind.

Budd Schulberg's love affair with boxing began when he was twelve, when he saw his first bouts at the Hollywood Legion. Over the years, between novels, he was Sports Illustrated 's first boxing editor and covered title fights for Playboy, Esquire, Newsday , and the New York Post . This new book collects the best of Mr. Schulberg's reportage on the Sweet Science, from Benny Leonard to Muhammad Ali to George Foreman. In addition to pieces on the great fights and great fighters of the last seventy-five years, Mr. Schulberg offers reflections on the social history of the fight game; the mystique of the heavyweight championship; the seamy side of the boxing business; and his own sparring match with Ernest Hemingway, when two aficionados of prizefighting had a verbal go at each other. Throughout, Mr. Schulberg is a pleasure to read and a passionate defender of an often maligned sport. "Boxing and civilization―any civilization―stand in delicate balance," he writes. "But if our civilization is indeed declining and if it finally falls, it will not be because Joe Louis clobbered Schmeling or took the measure of Billy Conn. Or because Ali made Bad Sonny Liston quit in his corner. Or because Joe Frazier landed a tremendous, humbling left hook on the controversial jaw of gallant braggadocio Muhammad Ali.”

Stories of twentieth-century American literary giants, by the man who was their friend, peer, and confidantWhen he was introduced to F. Scott Fitzgerald as a potential partner on a screenplay, novelist and scriptwriter Budd Schulberg was surprised the author was still alive. In Schulberg's view, the pressures of success and the public's merciless judgment had destroyed Fitzgerald's talent early in his career--a situation that is arguably typical for many of America's great literary geniuses. In Writers in America , Schulberg shares memories and insights from his relationships with authors such as Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, Nathaneal West, and Sinclair Lewis, as well as brilliant writers who never attained the success and recognition they deserved, such as Thomas Heggen. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Budd Schulberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.

This book is brand new and sealed, never read or used in any way, PERFECT!!

KIRKUS REVIEWSchulberg believes that ""somehow each of the great figures to hold the title manages to sum the spirit of his times,"" a social historical fact perhaps first fully recognized and exploited by Muhammad Ali ex-Clay. ""Write the book on Clay-Ali,"" says Schulberg, ""and you're drawn into the seething synthesis and antithesis of the American dilemma."" Ali consciously politicized heavyweight boxing, turning it into a confrontation sport; his fights were not simply contests between two men beating at each other under Queensberry auspices but ""a primitive dialogue on race relations,"" poverty, the War. The Fight -- The Fight of the Century -- saw ""Lieutenant Calley weighing in against Muhammad Ali. Not man to man but symbol to symbol. . . . Status quo and counterculture were waiting for the bell."" Such cycloramic hyperbolizing has its dangers if carried too far and Schulberg, an old boxing aficionado (vide The Harder They Fall), does toss a few wild haymakers -- for instance, is Ali really ""Lucky Lindy and the Brown Bomber, Bobby Kennedy and Joan Baez, all rolled up into one irrepressible folk hero"" But usually he's on target, offering firsthand observations of Ali's return (Quarry, Bonavena) and his ontological fall at the hands of Frazier -- ontological because although Frazier is now undisputed champion ""the allegorical Ali lives! -- that's the ongoing drama."" Unlike Jose Torres' . . . Sting Like A Bee (1971), the other solid book thus far on The Fight and Ali, Schulberg prefers ringside sociology to punch-by-punch description and some of it is absolutely perfect: who else has described Floyd Patterson -- ""the overreformed juvenile delinquent"" -- better? or the animus of the hardhats ""waiting for Frazier's star-spangled fists to shut up that big, unpatriotic mouth once and for all""? Direct and sharp as an axe falling.

''La Forêt interdite'' est un film culte de Nicholas Ray tourné en 1957 et 1958 dans les Everglades. Le scénario, signé Budd Schulberg, est un texte capital. C'est, selon l'auteur, '' une histoire authentique qui montre l'homme civilisé contre l'homme de la nature, dressés l'un contre l'autre, dans l'une des régions les plus reculées et les plus impressionnantes de la terre.'' Chef-d'oeuvre écologique avant l'heure, ''La Forêt interdite est, un plus d'un formidable récit d'aventures, une interrogation sur l'idée même de la civilisation et de la révolte de l'homme contre son créateur.Ce volume contient également un article sur ''L'atelier d'écriture de Watts'', fondé par Buddd Schulberg au lendemain des émeutes dans le ghetto noir. Et il se conclut par ''Dialogue en noir et blanc'' publié par Playboy en 1967, un échange passionné entre James Baldwin et Budd Schulberg. Deux écrivains profondément engagés dans la lutte pour les droits civiques.
