Here, in a marvelously gripping and
rewarding novel, is the story of the
tycoons who created and built the
motion picture industry--not in Holly-
wood but in New York City at the turn of
the century.
In particular, it is the story of Max
Britsky--born in the East Side ghetto of
New York, penniless and of his strug-
gle to survive and to conquer the world
he had entered. It is also the story of the
woman he married, of love and hate and
fraud and financial piracy and infighting,
of loyalty and betrayal.
In other words, it is just the kind of tale
you would expect from one of the master
storytellers of our time. It is not a book to
be put down easily. Once you enter the
world of New York at the turn of the
century, the world of Rector s and
Delmonico s and Boss Murphy of Tam-
many Hall and Monk Eastman, that king
of hoodlums, you will partake of a won-
derfully rewarding feast.
And you will welcome Max Britsky
into the world of literary immortals.
Like Dan Lavette of San Francisco, Max
Britsky is a man for all seasons, and you
will live with him, laugh with him, and
weep with him.
The story told in this novel, the story
of the creation of the film industry, an
industry that changed the world, has
never been told in fiction. It is one of the
~reat stories of the twentieth century,
