{"product_id":"madly-deeply","title":"Madly, Deeply","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eALAN RICKMAN was one of the world-class actors of his generation, as well as a tireless political activist, an avid traveller and a devoted confidant and friend. Through his never-before-seen diaries - a twenty-five-year passion project - Rickman invites readers backstage and into his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Rickman's writing details the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid. He takes us behind the scenes on films and plays ranging from Sense \u0026amp; Sensibility, the Harry Potter series, Private Lives, My Name is Rachel Corrie and many more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe diaries run from 1993 to his death in 2016 and offer insight into both a public and private life. Here is Rickman the consummate professional actor, but also the friend, the traveller, the fan, the director, the enthusiast: in short, the real Alan Rickman. Here is a life fully lived, all detailed in intimate and characteristically plain-spoken prose. Reading the diaries is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close friend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMadly, Deeply also includes a selection of Rickman's early diaries, dating from 1974 to 1982, when his acting life first began, with a foreword from Emma Thompson.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Rickman, Alan Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46127778169001,"sku":"9781805301424","price":12.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781805301424.jpg?v=1753593048","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/madly-deeply","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
