Description

Willie Stark –inspirado en una figura histórica, Huey Long, el célebre y discutido gobernador populista de Louisiana– es un personaje de poderosa y compleja personalidad: orador amado por las multitudes y dictador sin escrúpulos que se mantiene en el poder mediante la corrupción y el chantaje. Robert Penn Warren ha escrito una de las grandes novelas políticas del siglo XX y una original exploración del tema inagotable del conocimiento de uno mismo, donde se entrelazan varios destinos. En el centro, Willie Stark, abogado de origen humilde que llegará a gobernador del estado, que seduce a Anne Stanton, a su hermano Adam y a Jack Burden, los insatisfechos hijos de las familias poderosas del estado. Adam Stanton es el idealista puro y Jack Burden es un desarraigado que pretende ser sólo un espectador inteligente. Todos los hombres del rey, un clásico de la literatura americana, ha inspirado dos grandes películas: la primera fue dirigida por Robert Rossen; la segunda cuenta con la dirección de Steven Zaillian, y ha sido protagonizada por Sean Penn, Jude Law y Kate Winslet.
