Über den Autor

Harold Robbins was born in New York City on May 21, 1916. He later claimed to be a Jewish orphan who had been raised in a Catholic boys' home, but in reality he was raised in Brooklyn by his father and stepmother. He made his first million at the age of twenty by selling sugar for wholesale trade. mehr anzeigen By the beginning of World War II, he lost all his fortunes. He eventually moved to Hollywood and worked for Universal Pictures. His first book, Never Love a Stranger, was published in 1948. He began writing full time in 1957. He published more than 20 books during his lifetime including The Dream Merchants (1949), The Betsy (1971), The Storyteller (1982), and The Carpetbaggers (1961). His novel, A Stone for Danny Fisher (1951), was adapted into a 1958 motion picture King Creole starring Elvis Presley. He died from respiratory heart failure on October 14, 1997 at the age of 81. Since his death, several new books have been published, written by ghostwriters and based on his notes and unfinished stories. (Bowker Author Biography) weniger anzeigen

Rezensionen

Damn quick read. Has all the rawness that Harold Robbins is known.
one line summary: Joe Crown, coming out of nowhere, fucks his way to glory in Hollywood and then becomes a celebrated novelist.

Humdinger of a novel.
Loosely based on Howard Hughes life and therefore it revolves around aviation and Hollywood.

This one is Harold Robbins' first novel. Raw power.

"La Gran Depresión dará vuelta la vida de la familia Fisher como un guante. Forzados a abandonar la casa, los Fisher se hacinan en el Lower East Side y la larga infancia de Danny llega a un final abrupto. Rodeado de vecinos hostiles, pronto aprende que deberá pelear tanto fuera como dentro del ring para sobrevivir.
Sus cualidades deportivas pronto llaman la atención del submundo del boxeo y Danny se aleja de su padre cuando decide ser un boxeador profesional. Se adentra en un mundo que está al borde de la ley, siempre con la esperanza de recuperar la mítica casa de Brooklyn.
Rodeado de listillos y mafiosos, de prostitutas solitarias en busca de consuelo y sostenido por Nellie, la chica que se niega a darlo por perdido, Danny ve cómo la vida se le escapa de las manos mientras otros toman decisiones por él. Cuando se planta, las consecuencias serán terribles.
Esta es la tragedia de un hombre corriente, el recordatorio de la facilidad con la que pueden perderse la estabilidad y las certezas.
Contada por el mismo Danny desde la tumba durante una visita de su familia al cementerio, el guijarro del título se refiere a la costumbre judía de dejar una piedra común sobre la sepultura de sus muertos a modo de testimonio. La novela más conmovedora de Harold Robbins.
