      Ako je už z názvu zrejmé, ide o románovú verziu jeho posledného filmu Once a time in Hollywood. Tarantino nás zavedie späť do Hollywoodu roku 1969, kde zasadil rôzne príbehy svojich postáv. Je tu napríklad herec Rick Dalton, ktorý zúfalo bojuje o svoju kariéru. Po jeho boku kaskadér Cliff Booth, ktorý nemá najlepšiu povesť a rovnako trpí úpadkom „šéfovej“ kariéry. Autor ich príbeh spája so skutočne existujúcimi či historickými postavami, akými sú režisér Roman Polanski, herečka Sharon Tate či Charles Manson, vodca sekty a rocková hviezda.

      The never-before-seen, handwritten first draft of the Academy Award-winning screenplay for PULP FICTION with different sequences from the film, an introduction by a film scholar and a brand new foreword by Quentin Tarantino. Not many people know that Tarantino handwrites the first draft of his screenplays in his distinctive scrawl (see the title and chapter cards in Inglorious Basterds). He recently unearthed the first draft of this, his most iconic screenplay, and decided to publish it to show fans where it all began. PULP FICTION follows the intertwining lives of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster's wife, and a pair of bandits in four tales of violence and redemption. With new cover art envisioned by Tarantino, PULP FICTION, along with Kill Bill, and Django Unchained, will be designed to look great as a stand-alone, but also to coordinate as a complete collector's set for the Tarantino fan.

      Academy Award-winning screenwriter Quentin Tarantino returns with his most infamous, most brilliant, most masterful screenplay yet...§§At the end of the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. Bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive captive Daisy Domergue race toward the town of Red Rock, where Ruth will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter Major Marquis Warren, a former Union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter; and Chris Mannix, a renegade who claims to be the town's new sheriff. Lost in a blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren, and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover. When they arrive, they are greeted by four unfamiliar faces: Bob, who takes care of Minnie's in the owner's absence; Oswaldo Mobray, the hangman of Red Rock; cow-puncher Joe Gage; and Confederate general Sanford Smithers. As the storm overtakes the mountainside, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all ...§§THE HATEFUL EIGHT is a Tarantino master class in tension-filled atmosphere, singular characters, and razor-sharp dialogue.§

      Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-top-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles--dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda, the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie, the proprietor of "Candlyand", an infamous plantation. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.

      When Reservoir Dogs burst upon the screen in 1992, it announced the arrival of one of the most charismatic and audacious voices in cinema today. Reservoir Dogs is the story of a heist gone wrong, and how the group of outlaws concerned are subsequently undone in the course of their search for the enemy within. Quentin Tarantino uses words like bullets and writes with a propulsive energy that is compellingly readable. As always with Tarantino, the style of the storytelling is restlessly inventive, showcasing not only his fine ear for frank and foul-mouthed dialogue but also his grasp of formal structure, comparable to that of the smartest crime novelists.

      Mai Bunker ha scritto pagine toccanti come quelle dedicate al personaggio di Alex Hammond, il little boy blue del titolo, figlio di divorziati, con la madre del tutto assente e il padre amatissimo e troppo povero per tenerlo con sé. E mai come in questo romanzo, che prende le mosse dalla California degli anni difficili alla fine della Grande Depressione, la sua percezione incomparabilmente lucida dei meccanismi del crimine e delle patologie sociali è riuscita a dare vita a un personaggio cosí memorabile. Noi lettori ci mettiamo dal punto di vista di Alex, assistiamo sgomenti ai suoi scoppi d'ira devastanti, parteggiamo per la sua autenticità e innocenza. E seguiamo increduli, col fiato in gola, la concatenazione implacabile degli eventi che lo trasformano in un criminale, addestrato e consapevole, che sembra aver relegato la speranza in un unico spazio: quello dei libri che riesce a leggere solitario, in una cella.
