California in Los Angeles but hes probably best known as co author with Hollis Alpert of Playboys History of Sex in the Movies series Knight has recently revised his history of the movies The Livesliest Art Mentor $250 first published in 1957 The Liveliest Art is readable and fascinating account of mo tion pictures from 1895 when cameras and projectors were first introduced right up to the mid19705 Knight covers tremendous amount of material in the 341page paperback of fering an excellent survey of the major films made during those 80 years as well as brief histories of the major directors actors and producers who have shaped filmmaking around the world Knight wisely concentrates on the early days of motion pic tures Close to half the book covers the first 30 years of 31 It Essa aurie IéairJyflntg movie history when silent films matured rapidly from short onereelers to sophisticated works of film art Knight analyses the contributions pioneer directors like Griffith and

during the 7263733 that shed preferred women from the very beginning But Lali is incapable of retur ning Genevieves love and when she returns to Paris she meets Franéoise woman from the silent era who sup pressed her true desires throughout her marriage and the raising of two daughters Through Genevieve Fran coise finds the courage to seek happiness Genevieve offers her new optimism and will to live and at the end of the book she is recuperating from an operation she had postponed for years The other characters in the novel are lively colorful bunch whose zest for life and racy sense of

foreign film making in the mid19505 with the emergence of the French New Wave directors Ingrid Bergman in Sweden and other influential directors in Italy and Japan The final chapter examines the various critical theories that have been applied to filmmaking including the controversial auteur theory Animal stories have never appealed to me but anyone who enjoyed Sheila Burnfords The Incredible Journey will probably welcome the paper back publication of her second novel Bel Ria Seal Books 3225 Bel Ria tells the story of small dog abandoned during battle in wartime France whos rescued by British soldier and eventually finds home with an elderly lady in England Burnford has the knack of writing stories about animals that are heartwarming without being too sentimental Shes ex cellent at

women that slowly they will be able to live their lives openly and with respect Through her portrayal of strong defiant women Blais expresses profound faith in the future and belief that love can create its own sanctuary in world of oppression and in tolerance humans and animals and while her writing style strikes me as being dated shes very good at what she tries to do namely tell an engrossing animal story that ends happily Lawrence Sanders inhabits different world entirely The paperback version of his latest novel The Tangent Factor Totem $250 has just been released The Tangent
