Measure for Measure - William Shakespeare (with notes and glossary)
The play's main themes include justice, "mortality and mercy in Vienna", and the dichotomy between corruption and purity: "some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall." Mercy and virtue predominate, since the play does not end tragically.

Godfather: The Intimate Francis Ford Coppola Gene Phillips blends biography, studio history, and film criticism to complete the most comprehensive work on Coppola ever written.

In Godfather , Phillips argues that Coppola has repeatedly bucked the Hollywood "factory system" in an attempt to create distinct films that reflect his own artistic vision-often to the detriment of his career and finances.
