Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Edward Ball's ability to mine history and draw out its secrets has earned him a significant critical reputati…on as a bestselling nonfiction writer. In THE INVENTOR AND THE TYCOON, he enthralls us again with the compelling saga of an artistic genius, a ruthless railroad tycoon, and a sordid crime of passion. In frontier California 130 years ago, English immigrant Eadweard Muybridge managed to capture time and play it back on a screen, inventing stop-motion photography and moving pictures, breakthrough technologies that ushered in our age of visual media. Bankrolling his endeavor was tycoon (and former California governor) Leland Stanford, who built the western half of the transcontinental railroad and personally drove in the last golden spike. Stanford's particular obsession was whether the four hooves of a running horse ever left the ground all at once, and with Muybridge he finally found an answer. [] But personal disaster overshadowed Muybridge's remarkable achievement. A visionary artist, and technically brilliant, he was also a murderer, and his search for the secrets of motion through photography is inseparable from his gripping true-crime story. Muybridge produced a stunning body of work that celebrated the savage beauty of the American West. Yet when he discovered that the child recently borne by his young wife was not, in fact, his, he turned into a remorseless killer. The dark drama of one night changed the course of his life, and his trial--which turned on questions of justifiable homicide, sexual rivalry, and the artist's insanity--became a media sensation." [jacket copy] "Engrossing. Genius, it seems, is almost always accompanied by eccentricity, if not madness. Those rare instances of genuine brilliance that we find scattered throughout history often appear to have come at great cost to the minds that produced them. The work of Eadweard Muybridge is no exception. While Muybridge's photographs are widely known, his personal life has been largely neglected, which seems incredible now that, in Edward Ball's THE INVENTOR AND THE TYCOON , we have the whole fascinating story, full of strange and surprising details. Although Muybridge was a chameleon-like figure throughout his life, Ball uses exhaustive research and vivid details to pin him down so we can have a good look at him."--Candice Millard, New York Times Book Review. "A remarkable story of the alliance between the eccentric inventor of the motion picture and the mogul who built the nation's rails. It is a story that, for all its whirling parts and divagations, tells us a great deal about the crossroads of money and art in America. What is most interesting about this book is the making of an astonishing artist, the marvelous photographs that attest to his genius, the rousing good yarn at the nexus of industry and art."--Marie Arana, Washington Post. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a handsome, intact jacket. Quite presentable.
