Michael Korda Zitate

Peter Fleming was a famous English traveler, explorer and adventurer, whose non-fiction books were hugely successful. My father owned signed copies of all of them - he and Peter Fleming had become acquainted over some detail of set design at the Korda film studio in Shepperton - and I had read each of them with breathless adolescent excitement.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Peter Fleming war ein berühmter englischer Reisender, Entdecker und Abenteurer, dessen Sachbücher äußerst erfolgreich waren. Meinem Vater gehörten signierte Exemplare von allen - er und Peter Fleming hatten sich im Korda-Filmstudio in Shepperton mit einigen Details des Bühnenbilds vertraut gemacht - und ich hatte jeden von ihnen mit atemloser, jugendlicher Aufregung gelesen.

In my day, the only people who achieved real independence were my father, Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin, who, with D. W. Griffith, formed United Artists. Other than that, everybody belonged to the big studios. They had no say in their own careers.

Harlem was a development, a developer's dream and a place where residents had more space and more amenities than ever before. The subway reached 145th street about 1904, and it seemed that Harlem's destiny was to become largely a preserve of successful ethnics relocating and arriving. Then, overnight, the bust took place.
