由艾瑪湯普遜撰寫序言，艾倫瑞克曼日記選。他是專業演員，也是編劇與導演，溫厚嗓音更被喻為有如天鵝絨。從沉鬱反派到搞笑傻大個，似乎沒有瑞克曼無法精準拿捏的角色，但讓全世界的觀眾們最難忘懷的，或許仍是那個嚴厲刻薄，卻埋藏著深情的石內卜教授。本書收錄了瑞克曼早期的日記片段，看他以輕鬆詼諧的態度，笑談他的工作與生活，誠實、機敏卻溫和，如老友閒談般，在零碎字句間一窺這位偉大演員的心靈掠影。A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today.

He takes us behind the scenes on films and plays ranging from Sense & Sensibility, the Harry Potter series, Private Lives, My Name is Rachel Corrie and many more. The diaries run from 1993 to his death in 2016 and offer insight into bot
