Ethan Hawke Books

An unforgettable fable about a father's journey and a timeless guide to life's many questions—from Ethan Hawke, four-time Academy Award nominee, twice for writing and twice for acting. A knight, fearing he may not return from battle, writes a letter to his children in an attempt to leave a record of all he knows. In a series of ruminations on solitude, humility, forgiveness, honesty, courage, grace, pride, and patience, he draws on the ancient teachings of Eastern and Western philosophy, and on the great spiritual and political writings of our time. His intent: to give his children a compass for a journey they will have to make alone, a short guide to what gives life meaning and beauty.

This guide offers practical wisdom for leading a life of integrity and virtue. It emphasizes the importance of moral principles and personal responsibility, providing insights and strategies to cultivate a noble character. Readers will find inspiration to navigate ethical dilemmas and enhance their personal growth, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their moral compass and live with purpose.

Set against the backdrop of Broadway, the narrative follows a young man's tumultuous journey as he prepares for his debut in Henry IV while grappling with the collapse of his marriage. This compelling tale weaves humor and wisdom, exploring themes of ambition, love, and personal transformation, making it a poignant and relatable read.

A project, 10 years in the making, that captures the Native American experience, by Oscar nominated actor and writer Ethan Hawke, and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth.

Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying--and narcissistic--Falstaffs of all time. A novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art

From the dream team behind #1 New York Times bestseller Indeh, Oscar-nominated actor and writer Ethan Hawke and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth, comes a new graphic novel following a father and son as they navigate an increasingly catastrophic day.
