REVEAL: ROBBIE WILLIAMS (3498030361)

«Ich glaube, es ist so: Am Anfang tut man alles, um ein Star zu werden, und den Rest seiner Karriere verbringt man damit, als Star zu überleben.» Wie er zum Star wurde, beschrieb Robbie Williams 2004 in seiner Autobiographie «Feel», einem weltweiten Bestseller. In seinem neuen Buch schildert er, was danach passierte. Wie er gegen Depressionen und Alkoholismus kämpfte, sich aus dem Popgeschäft zurückzog, UFOs beobachtete und die Einsamkeit suchte, wie er Ehemann und zweifacher Vater wurde und nun, nach der Versöhnung mit seinem musikalischen Partner Guy Chambers, mit seinem elften Album «The Heavy Entertainment Show» wieder in die Öffentlichkeit zurückkehrt. Auch sein neues Buch entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Musikjournalisten Chris Heath, der Williams in den vergangenen Jahren intensiv begleitete, ihn beim Komponieren und im Umgang mit seinen Kindern beobachtete. Daraus entstand ein intimer, unzensierter Bericht über den Robbie Williams der vergangenen zehn Jahre; eine Reportage ü...

Millard Meiss, American Art History, and Conservation : From Connoisseurship to Iconology and Kulturgeschichte (9780367138349)

A member of the art history generation from the golden age of the 1920s and 1930s, Millard Meiss (1904-1975) developed a new and multi-faceted methodological approach.

Gesammelte Werke 84. Der Bowie-Pater (3780200848)

Der Sammelband enthält interessante Raritäten und Spezialitäten, Fragmente und Vorstufen von Erzählungen, die May in späteren Ausarbeitungen berühmt gemacht haben. Der Leser darf sich auf spannende Begegnungen mit Wildwest- und Orienthelden freuen, auf verwegene Abenteuer in altbewährter Karl-May-Manier, aber auch auf weniger bekannte historische Anekdoten und Humoresken aus heimatlichen Gefilden. In den Wildwestgeschichten treffen wir unter anderem einen "jungen", aber bereits genau so skurrilen und kämpferischen Sam Hawkens und erleben den sagenhaften Henrystutzen im ersten Einsatz. Die Titelgeschichte "Der Bowie-Pater" ist ein leider unvollständig gebliebenes Kapitel aus dem Roman "Die Juweleninsel" (Band 46 der Gesammelten Werke). Freuen Sie sich auf mysteriöse Verwicklungen, überraschende Wendungen und den stolzen Indianerhäuptling Rimatta, einen imposanten Vorläufer von Winnetou! Den insgesamt fünfzehn Geschichten sind einführende Kommentare voran...

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines (0997940433)

Natalie Wee'sOur Bodies & Other Fine Machinesis a roadmap. Of words, yes. Of well crafted images ("your name tucked under my tongue, an unraveling string that pulls & pulls.") But more than just that, this book thrills and pulls you in, showing you a history, a lineage, an invitation into Wee's room, both in its cleanest and messiest moments. This is a stunning work by a powerful writer. The work in this book grabs on to all of the right emotions, and never lets go. - Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib, Author of The Crown Ain't Worth Much Natalie Wee's writing is indicative of a wordsmith-master utilizing all her tools with precision. Wee says the words we think, and then reshapes them, out loud, into beautiful origami-like gifts that hit you like "stray bullets splinter technicolour lovers." The intricacies of her images walk a fine line that hover closely over genius, and the supernatural. From her well thought-out use of white space, enjambment...

Oasis the Truth : My Life as Oasis's Drummer (1843584999)

In 1991, five wannabe Mancunian musicians came together and cracked a spark that was to ignite the explosion which became Oasis. The band went from obscurity to become a global phenomenon in the space of a year, achieving world-wide recognition and selling over 70 million records. Pre Oasis, drummer Tony McCarroll joined a band called The Rain, linking up with guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and singer Chris Hutton. Hutton was later replaced by Liam Gallagher who in turn brought brother Noel along. What started out as five young lads with a common dream of becoming rock stars eventually disintegrated into in-fighting, clashes of egos and finanical disputes.

A Guarded Life : My story of the dark side of An Garda Siochana (9781529335989)

A GARDA, A FORCED ADOPTION, A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE In 1984, Majella Moynihan was a fresh-faced young garda recruit when she gave birth to a baby boy. Charged with breaching An Garda Siochana's disciplinary rules - for having premarital sex with another guard, becoming pregnant, and having a child - she was pressured to give up her baby for adoption, or face dismissal. It forced her into a decision that would have devastating impacts on her life. Majella left the force in 1998 after many difficult years and, in 2019, following an RTE documentary on her case, she received an apology from the Garda Commissioner and Minister for Justice for the ordeal she endured as a young garda. Here, for the first time, she tells the full story. From an institutional childhood after the death of her mother when she was a baby, to realising her vocation of becoming a guard only to confront the reality of a police culture steeped in misogyny and prejudice, A Guarded Life is both a courageous personal acc...
