DOWNLOAD EBOOK →“Do many young boys meet hermits in the forest, and trade mushrooms for wisdom?” Set amid the primeval forests of Eastern Poland, the avant-garde enclaves of Greenwich Village, and the long summer days of the San Juan Islands, Wild Mushrooms is the story of one man’s life, an artist called Eliasz, Ilyusha, and Elias at different points in his timeline. The narrative meanders fluidly between visions of the past—a small boy’s first memories of encountering the faith of his Russian grandmother—the obsessions and malignant thoughts which threaten to destroy a young man’s life, and the moment of personal theophany that brings an old man hope amid sorrow. Beauty, evil, worship, and hatred—monsters, dragons, and hermits in the woods—Wild Mushrooms is a journey of the mind and the soul, of decisive moments, and the insanity of true wisdom.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Hitchcock’s previously untold origin story. Alfred Hitchcock called The Lodger "the first true Hitchcock movie," the one that anticipated all the others. And yet the story of how The Lodger came to be made is shrouded in myth, often repeated and much embellished, even by Hitchcock himself. The First True Hitchcock focuses on the twelve-month period that encompassed The Lodger's production in 1926 and release in 1927, presenting a new picture of this pivotal year in Hitchcock's life and in the wider film world. Using fresh archival discoveries, Henry K. Miller situates Hitchcock's formation as a director against the backdrop of a continent shattered by war and confronted with the looming presence of a new superpower, the United States, and its most visible export—film. The previously untold story of The Lodger's making in the London fog—and attempted remaking in the Los Angeles sun—is the story of how Hitchcock became Hitchcock.
