Ethan Hawke Livres

An unforgettable fable about a father's journey and a timeless guide to life's many questions—from Ethan Hawke, four-time Academy Award nominee, twice for writing and twice for acting. A knight, fearing he may not return from battle, writes a letter to his children in an attempt to leave a record of all he knows. In a series of ruminations on solitude, humility, forgiveness, honesty, courage, grace, pride, and patience, he draws on the ancient teachings of Eastern and Western philosophy, and on the great spiritual and political writings of our time. His intent: to give his children a compass for a journey they will have to make alone, a short guide to what gives life meaning and beauty.

A project, 10 years in the making, that captures the Native American experience, by Oscar nominated actor and writer Ethan Hawke, and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth.

Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying--and narcissistic--Falstaffs of all time. A novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art

From the dream team behind #1 New York Times bestseller Indeh, Oscar-nominated actor and writer Ethan Hawke and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth, comes a new graphic novel following a father and son as they navigate an increasingly catastrophic day.

A beautifully crafted debut from one of the brightest young stars of American cinema.

TWO PEOPLE, THREE LIVES, ONE LOVE Is there anything more terrifying than being in love? Jimmy Heartsock is so afraid of losing his love Christy, he is going AWOL from the army and chasing after her in order to propose marriage - in a frozen car park. Christy is terrified, not so much that she's going to have a baby, but because if she takes on Jimmy Heartsock, she may end up with two. How does anyone, ever, make it down the aisle? Can Jimmy stop looking vainly into mirrors, taking recreational drugs, or blaming his father for committing suicide - will he ever grow up? Can Christy stop feeling that their destiny together is to break each other's hearts, that there is a glass wall between her and the world and that her Texan politician father could avert any calamity - if only she deserved it? Are they a couple so afraid of falling, it would be easier to jump? Will they, won't they mess this thing up? As the unforgettable lovers drive across America, confronting family history, personal hang-ups and questions they've never even asked each other before - about faith, death and learning how to live - the reader is caught up in a sensationally moving, funny and nail-biting drama of love in our time.

Porywająca powieść graficzna autorstwa Nominowanego do oscara aktora i pisarza Ethana Hawkea oraz scenarzysty i rysownika z listy bestsellerów New York Timesa, Grega Rutha. W spokojnym i niepozornym miasteczku Huntsville w Teksasie Jack Skowronek Johnson i jego nastoletni syn Cooper wyruszają w podróż o epickim rozmachu, która w ciągu jednego dnia zamienia się w walkę chłopca o to, by przetrwać skutki fatalnych błędów ojca. Gdy Cooper i jego ojciec rozpaczliwie uciekają przed lawiną piętrzącej się przemocy, muszą przewartościować łączącą ich relację burzliwą i dysfunkcyjną, lecz wciąż czułą ponieważ narastające między nimi napięcie oraz pielęgnowane latami urazy grożą nieuniknionym wybuchem. Skowronek, zainspirowany dzieciństwem autorów spędzonym w Teksasie i ich relacjami z własnymi synami, jest wartką, utrzymaną w stylistyce noir opowieścią o dorastaniu i przemianie młodzieńca w mężczyznę. Ten sugestywny emocjonalnie i oszałamiający wizualnie album to przygoda ojca i syna na miarę naszych czasów. Cudownie poruszająca historia i absolutne arcydzieło, które nie pozostawia czytelnika obojętnym. Skowronek to opowieść ponadczasowa. Wykracza poza ramy gatunkowe i wynosi formę powieści graficznej na nowe wyżyny. To jeden z tych artystycznych darów, które będą coś z siebie dawać i wpływać na twórców przez kolejne dekady. Bill Sienkiewicz, scenarzysta i rysownik Stray Toasters
