Description

The first novel in world renowned film-maker, Ingmar Bergman's trilogy of novels plotting the fractious marriage of his parents

In 1909, Ingmar Bergman's mother and father first meet. Anna is a nurse from a wealthy family; Henrik, a poor, trainee priest living with his lover. From the intensity of their courtship, to the difficult early years of their marriage, Bergman fictionalises his parent's life before his birth, drawing the quiet, emotional sensitivity of his film-maker's eye deep into the heart of his own family.

The Best Intentions is the first in renowned film-maker Ingmar Bergman's loose trilogy of novels that plots the fractious marriage of his parents, continued in Sunday's Children and Private Confessions.

About the Author
Ingmar Bergman was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1918. He wrote or directed more than 170 theatrical productions and 60 films, including The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, Persona and Fanny and Alexander, and he is widely-regarded as one of the greatest film-makers of the 20th century. Bergman's trilogy of books - The Best Intentions, Sunday's Children, and Private Confessions - is based on the life of his parents, and details his own upbringing in early 20th-century Sweden. Bergman died in 2007.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
