Introduction by Greg Bear
Preface by Mark Cotta Vaz
The giant prehistoric gorilla King Kong is one of the most
recognized images in our culture. So great is the mighty Kong's
hold on the popular imagination that his story-a gripping yarn of
man versus nature, coupled with a fantastical update of the Beauty
and the Beast legend-has been thrice made into a motion picture
(most recently in 2005) and referenced endlessly in every medium,
from books to prime-time sitcoms.
Beneath King Kong's cultural significance, however, is a tense and
surprisingly tender story. One cannot help but be frightened by
Kong's uncontrollable fury, be saddened over the giant's capture,
mistreatment, and exploitation by venal showmen, or sympathize with
the beast's ill-fated affection for the down-on-her-luck starlet
Ann Darrow.
This Modern Library edition of a true colossus among adventure
stories is reprinted from the original 1932 novelization of the
movie script, and includes a Preface by Mark Cotta Vaz, the
preeminent biographer of Merian C. Cooper, producer of the original
1933 classic film.
