  • Madonna. Подлинная биография королевы поп-музыки
  • О'Брайен Люси
  • Жанр: Биографии и Мемуары
  • Часто спрашивают: какова же истинная Мадонна? Существует расхожий стереотип, представляющий Мадонну алчной женщиной-вамп, в то время как для большинства женщин она является символом феминизма. Ее песни внятны и просты, хотя сама она личность сложная и изменчивая. Она впитала влияния тысячи различных культур, собрав их в единое целое, и стала самой продаваемой певицей за всю историю музыки. Все ее альбомы — это этапы большого путешествия. Переживая драмы и потери, она использовала музыку как способ противостоять боли, искала в ней новые источник радости. Ее стиль противоречив, тщеславие безгранично, и при этом она постоянно превращает свою жизнь в завораживающее произведение искусства. Беспристрастное исследование британского музыкального журналиста Люси О'Брайен — самая полная биография королевы поп-сцены.

  • Mao: The Unknown Story
  • Chang Jung
  • Жанр: Биографии и Мемуары
  • Based on a decade of research and on interviews with many of Mao’s close circle in China who have never talked before — and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him — this is the most authoritative life of Mao ever written. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he ...

  • Microworlds
  • Lem Stanislaw
  • Жанр: Критика
  • In this bold and controversial examination of the past, present, and future of science fiction, internationally acclaimed grand master Stanislaw Lem informs the raging debate over the literary merit of the genre with ten arch, incisive, provocative essays. Lem believes that science fiction should attempt to discover what hasn’t been thought or done before. Too often, says Lem, science fiction resorts to well-worn patterns of primitive adventure literature, plays empty games with the tired devices of time travel and robots, and is oblivious to cultural and intellectual values. An expert examination of the scientific and literary premises of his own and other writers’ work, this collection is quintessential Lem.

  • My Story
  • Monroe Marilyn
  • Жанр: Биографии и Мемуары
  • Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as “the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand.” The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon—from the unique perspective of the icon herself.
