Produktbeschreibung
It is an original book of photographs and text compiled by a bestselling author, comprised of moonlit scenes of Milford, Pennsylvania, where he creates a visual meaning and mood of his beloved hometown. Richard Morais is particularly suited to this endeavor: When he writes his novels, he conveys an atmosphere or sensibility in a book by striving to capture the right image more than the right word. That's how his bestselling novel The Hundred-Foot Journey, became a celebrated 2014 Steven Spielberg-Oprah Winfrey film starring Helen Mirren. This book was no exception: Late one night while walking his dogs, Morais wondered what a single image would best capture a novel he was working on about his hometown, Milford. The full moon that stood over one of the back alleys prompted him to snap the beautiful, mysterious, and moody shadow-filled moonlit scene. After that first photograph, the assembly of images took on a life of its own. What started as a simple search for an image that would suit a murder mystery he was mentally formulating, became the process that ultimately morphed into its creative project: This series of photographs became a visual love letter to Milford, where his family has resided for four generations.

Autorenporträt
Richard C. Morais is an award-winning American novelist and journalist. Mr. Morais is the author of The New York Times and international bestseller The Hundred-Foot Journey, a novel that follows the life of an Indian chef as he conquers the rarified world of French haute cuisine. The novel sold in 35 territories across the globe. In 2014, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Juliet Blake released The Hundred- Foot Journey as a much-loved film directed by Lasse Halström and starring Dame Helen Mirren and Om Puri. His novel, The Man With No Borders, was published by Little A, the literary imprint of Amazon Publishing, in 2019; and he is the author of Buddhaland Brookland, published in 2012, in addition to the nonfiction and critically acclaimed business biography, Pierre Cardin: The Man Who Became a Label. He was previously both the editor of Barron's Penta magazine and acted as Forbes's European Bureau Chief, the magazine's longest-serving foreign correspondent, stationed in London for 18 years. His unique brief at Forbes allowed him to travel anywhere in the world and to write on any subject that interested him. His unusual business stories - from a controversial interview with Prime Minister Tony Blair at 10 Downing Street, to his profile of the low-key Indian billionaire Adi Godrej - have led to multiple journalism awards. Mr. Morais has uniquely won three awards and six nominations at the Business Journalist of The Year Awards. His literary works, meanwhile, were semifinalists in the William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition and short-listed for Britain's Ian St. James Award. In 2015 he was named the 2015 Citizen Diplomat of the Year, the highest honor granted by Global Ties U.S., a private-public partnership sponsored by the U.S. State Department - "for promoting cross-cultural understanding in all of his literary work." He lives in Milford, PA and NYC, NY.
