Cover of Homer & Joseph Conrad: From Page to Screen: The Best Film Interpretations of Literary Classics (ePUB)

Is the iconic feminist heroine of a beloved 90s movie actually inspired by a character from a medieval play? Which American mind-bending sci-fi blockbuster is based on a 19th century French adventure novel? What myths and children’s stories gave us our favorite quirky, drunken pirate and the ghost ship that hunts him? Could a sailor’s tale from a sea adventure novel be behind the greatest movie of Vietnam War and the infamous ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning’?
This anthology presents the timeless literary classics behind your favorite movies and blockbuster hits.
