{"product_id":"madly-deeply-the-alan-rickman-diaries","title":"Madly, Deeply: The Alan Rickman Diaries","description":"\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiography;Arts \u0026amp; Entertainment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlan Rickman (Author) ,  Alan Taylor (Edited by) ,  Emma Thompson (Foreword by)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback  With dust jacket  496pp  h240mm  x  w162mm  x s43mm  758g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42321877336214,"sku":"9781838854799","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4978\/0118\/products\/jacket---2022-11-12T124329-126.jpg?v=1668545252","url":"https:\/\/www.tawabooksandpost.co.nz\/products\/madly-deeply-the-alan-rickman-diaries","provider":"Tawa Books \u0026 Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
