Synopsis "Complete Prose "

Although Woody Allen is best known for his cult movies, he is also a writer of outstanding wit and skill. Dip into this collection of fifty-two pieces for hilarity, deadpan weirdness, and some extremely outlandish ideas. Do you want to hear about the time Hitler went for a haircut? Or why Woody reveres Socrates? Have you ever wondered what would have happened if the Impressionists had actually been dentists? You can learn much about history -- the piece on the invention of sandwiches is eye-opening -- or modern life in this laugh-out-loud collection of thoughts, observations, diaries and stories from one of the most original minds and wonderfully comic voices of our time. 'It's no secret that Allen's short stories are just as entertaining and accomplished as his films ...Allen's witty stories satirise contemporary society and classic modern literature in a style that is characteristically breathless, off the cuff and brilliant' Observer

Woody Allen, cuyo nombre real es Allan Stewart Konigsberg, nació el 30 de noviembre de 1935 en Nueva York. Es un cineasta, guionista, actor, escritor y músico que ha dejado una huella profunda en la historia del cine, especialmente en el ámbito de la comedia y el drama psicológico. Su carrera comenzó como guionista de comedia para televisión y monologuista en clubes nocturnos, donde desarrolló un estilo irónico, neurótico y autorreflexivo que más tarde trasladaría a la gran pantalla.

A partir de la década de 1970, se consolidó como director con películas que combinaban humor intelectual, dilemas existenciales y relaciones humanas complejas. Obras como Annie Hall, Manhattan, Hannah and Her Sisters y Crimes and Misdemeanors lo convirtieron en un referente del cine de autor. Su estilo se caracteriza por diálogos agudos, personajes introspectivos y una fuerte presencia de Nueva York como escenario simbólico.

Además del cine, ha mostrado una gran pasión por la música, en particular el jazz, tocando el clarinete en varias bandas. A lo largo de su carrera, también ha estado envuelto en polémicas personales que han influido en la recepción de su obra. A pesar de ello, continúa siendo una figura influyente y prolífica en el mundo del cine.
