The New York Times–bestselling novel of one man’s journey from New
York’s slums to become one of America’s first film moguls—from
the author of Spartacus. Max tells the story of the rise of Max
Britsky, entwined with the film industry’s beginnings near the turn
of the twentieth century. When he was twelve, Max’s father died,
leaving him to scrape out a living in Manhattan’s Lower East Side
slums to provide for his mother and siblings. But Max was a natural
entrepreneur, and he followed his business instincts and love of the
theater to become one of the first film moguls in the history of
American moviemaking. Britsky’s life story is tragic and triumphant,
and yet another example of the unmatched storytelling prowess of
Howard Fast, one of the most prolific and widely read authors of the
twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of
Howard Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.
