Résumé
The Nobel Prize–winning and New York Times–bestselling author&’s memoir of making a movie in 1960s Japan, while mourning the loss of her husband. Pearl S. Buck&’s children&’s story, The Big Wave, about two young friends whose lives are transformed when… a volcano erupts and a tidal wave engulfs their village, was eventually optioned as a movie. A Bridge for Passing narrates the resulting adventure, the story of the people involved in the movie-making process (including Polish director Tad Danielewski), their many complications while shooting, and the experience of working in Japan at a time when memories of the war remained strong. As much as all this, the book is a poignant reflection on personal crisis, and relates Buck&’s grief over the death of her husband of twenty-five years, Richard Walsh, who was also her editor. A Bridge for Passing offers an intimate view of postwar Japan mixed with Buck&’s heartrending meditation on loss and love. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author&’s estate.
