Bøger af Charles Champlin

Back There Where the Past Was is Charles Champlin's sentimental journey through the life and times of his boyhood in Hammondsport, New York. "We are all from somewhere else, " Charles Champlin begins. It is from this idea that we not only can share his childhood, but are provided with a better sense of all that we hold dear in our own past.

Turning his journalistic eye on his own life, the author offers a series of sketches that describes the events and people he encounters. He narrates both the daily and the legendary events at ""Time"", offering readers a glimpse into the world of magazine writing and publishing before the age of the computer.

Nearly 200 photos enhance Champlin's readable, fascinating survey of the movies from the Golden Age up through the year 1980. According to Champlin, movies are the art form of our time - perhaps even the art form of this century. With this revised and enlarged edition of his book, one of the most comprehensive and eloquent works on film is available once again.
