Georgy Danelia. Nightmare on Tiptoes

Here are the new and final editions of three bestselling books: "The Stowaway," "The Toast-Eater Drinks to the Bottom," and "The Cat Is Gone, But the Smile Remains," by the outstanding director Georgy Danelia. These are memoirs about a life lived and about the making of films. Invaluable experience and unique stories, the bitterness of loss, and a stunning sense of humor.
The winner of every conceivable award and prize, major and minor, international and domestic, he tells us stories about how he and his friends made films, and, more generally, about our lives, wisely and succinctly, sometimes very funny, sometimes with a hint of sadness. Just like everything we know so well from his wonderful films.
