About the Book

Embárquese en un apasionante viaje a través de la vida y el legado cinematográfico de Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, el legendario director de cine inglés que dejó una huella imborrable en la historia del cine. En esta biografía meticulosamente investigada, los lectores descubren al hombre detrás del suspense, el mismísimo "Maestro del Suspense", cuya influencia en la industria cinematográfica no tiene paralelo.

Desde sus humildes comienzos como empleado técnico y redactor publicitario hasta su debut como director con la película muda británico-alemana "The Pleasure Garden" (1925), se desarrolla la evolución de Hitchcock como cineasta. La narrativa profundiza en sus innovadoras aportaciones al género del thriller, con clásicos como "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog" (1927) y el primer cine sonoro británico, "Chantaje" (1929). A medida que la carrera de Hitchcock se disparó, se convirtió en una figura icónica, reconocida no sólo por su destreza como director sino también por sus cameos en sus propias películas y su papel como presentador y productor de la antología televisiva "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955-1965). El libro explora la transición de Hitchcock a Hollywood y la serie de películas exitosas que siguieron, incluida "Rebecca" (1940), que ganó el Premio de la Academia a la Mejor Película. A pesar de numerosas nominaciones al Premio de la Academia, incluso por clásicos como "La ventana indiscreta" (1954) y "Psicosis" (1960), Hitchcock nunca consiguió el galardón al Mejor Director. Se examinan las colaboraciones de Hitchcock con las estrellas más importantes de Hollywood, como Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ingrid Bergman y Grace Kelly, revelando la química que resultó en algunos de los momentos más memorables del cine. Como testimonio de su impacto duradero, el libro analiza la aclamación de la crítica y el éxito financiero de las obras maestras posteriores de Hitchcock, incluida "Vértigo" (1958), que encabezó la lista de las mejores películas jamás realizadas por el British Film Institute en 2012.

Las favoritas personales de Hitchcock, como Se explora "La sombra de una duda" (1943) y los lectores obtienen una idea del reconocimiento que recibió, incluida la beca BAFTA y el premio AFI Life Achievement Award.

Con su título de caballero en diciembre de 1980, pocos meses antes de su fallecimiento, el legado de Hitchcock como maestro del cine se celebra en esta cautivadora biografía.
