ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The bestselling novel that inspired Steven Spielberg's film, now in a special edition for its 50th anniversary.
Amity is a picture-perfect beach town that thrives on tourism. One morning, just before the start of the summer season, the body of a young woman--attacked by a shark--appears on the beach. The police and the media hide the news, fearing it might scare off vacationers. When the attacks continue, a group of men decides to confront the beast.
Published in 1974, Jaws became an instant success. A year later, the acclaimed film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg was released, with Peter Benchley co-writing the screenplay. Since then, it has become an undisputed contemporary classic of popular culture.
This new edition includes bonus content from the author's personal archives, such as facsimiles of the original manuscript, behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, and several texts in which he narrates in the first person the writing of Jaws and his collaboration with Spielberg, as well as an exclusive foreword by the author's wife, ocean conservation advocate Wendy Benchley.
Jaws is a fast-paced suspense novel and a brilliant meditation on human nature, considered one of the best thrillers ever written.
