The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History - Hardcover

by Ray Richmond (Author)

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos with this definitive and intimate portrait of one of the most groundbreaking television shows ever made.

The Sopranos is widely regarded as one of the greatest television shows of all time. Now, in honor of its 25th anniversary, this expansive volume explores the seminal series and the stories behind the stories through a plethora of photographs, archival materials, and exclusive one-on-one interviews with show creator, David Chase, key crewmembers, and cast, including Edie Falco, Lorraine Bracco, Steven Schirripa, and many more.

Follow along as The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History takes you on a rich photographic journey through the trials and tribulations of T.V.'s most celebrated antihero, Tony Soprano, while he attempts to balance the responsibilities of domestic life and life in the "family"--all while suffering through panic attacks, a toxic mother, and a power-hungry uncle who would rather see him dead than Boss.

Featuring an examination of the show's influence on pop culture, a foreword by Rolling Stone's chief television critic, Alan Sepinwall, and a touching tribute to the late James Gandolfini, The Sopranos: The Complete Visual History, is the ultimate companion to a television classic and required reading for serious fans of the show.
