The Big Book of World Chess Championships: 46 Title Fights
Szachy > Książki New In Chess
Wilhelm Steinitz, the winner of the first official World Chess Championship in 1886, would have rubbed his eyes in disbelieve if he could have seen how popular chess is today.With millions of players all around the world, live internet transmissions of major and minor competitions, and educational programs in thousands of schools, chess has truly become a global passion. And what would Steinitz, who had financial problems his whole life and died in poverty, have thought of the current world champion, Magnus Carlsen, who became a multi-millionaire in his early twenties just by playing great chess?The history of the World Chess Championship reflects these enormous changes, and Andre Schulz tells the stories of the title fights in fascinating detail: the historical and social backgrounds, the prize money and the rules, the seconds and other helpers, and the psychological wars on and off the board.Relive the magic of Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Tal, Karpov, Kasparov, Bobby Fischer and the others!Andre Schulz has selected one defining game from each championship, and he explains the moves of the Champions in a way that is easily accessible for amateur players.This is a book that no true chess lover wants to miss. Andre Schulz is a respected German chess journalist. He is the editor-in-chief of the ChessBase newssite. Karsten Müller, author of #8216;Bobby Fischer, The Career and Complete Games#8217;: #8220;I like the selection of the games and the explanations are easy to understand and to the point. But the best part is how the story is told, complete with historical backgrounds and lots of anecdotes.#8221; Walter Eigenmann, Glarean Magazin: #8220;A new, entertaining and well-structured chronicle, suitable for all those chess friends who are more interested in real stories than in dry opening theory.#8221; John Watson, The Week in Chess: "I enjoyed the book immensely." Martin Breutigam, Berliner Tagesspiegel: #8220;Chess journalist Andre Schulz#8217;s story covers a lot of ground over a wide period of time and is full of interesting facts and assessments.#8221; Uwe Bekemann, Deutscher Fernschachbund: #8220;Schulz handles his material very well and his style is that of a historiographical narrator. An excellent documentary book that every chess player should have who is not just interested in the game itself.#8221; Matthew Sadler, author of 'Chess for Life': "I read it from cover to cover with great pleasure." Daniel King, creator of the Power Chess DVD Series: "These colourful personalities, it is fascinating to learn about their lives (..) With all kinds of gossip that was new to me. A very entertaining book." Florian Jacobs, Max Euwe Centre Amsterdam: "All the matadors get the attention they deserve, there is a considerable number of pictures and every few pages there is a really wonderful anecdote." B.H.Wilders, Nederlands Dagblad: "A splendid book (..) They used to say: this book belongs in your library -- and I am saying that now." Chris Wainscott, ChessIQ: "From Steinitz playing for reduced fees when proper stakes could not be raised by his challengers to the lights going out on Anand and Topalov this book covers historically interesting facts pertaining to the matches. This book also does a good job o f going beyond the matches themselves to get into many of the details regarding the players (..) I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys learning about the history of the royal game and give it five out of five stars." Johan Hut, Noordhollands Dagblad: "A fantastic book." CHESS Magazine (UK): "The 46 matches for the world title have produced much magnificent chess, as well as plenty of off-the-board drama. Schultz succinctly but enjoyably recounts the background to each contest, as well as all the incidents which occurred during it."

Putting the Rabbit in the Hat Quercus Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The long-awaited memoir by movie and theatre legend, Brian Cox. A Guardian, Times, Sunday Times and Independent Book of the Year*Featuring a foreword by the executive producer of Succession, Frank Rich, an executive producer of HBO's Succession, a former chief drama critic of The New York Times, and the author of the memoir Ghost Light.*'One of the best showbiz memoirs ever written... it's as funny as it is furious...Brian Cox has done everything and with this book he leaves everyone else standing' - Mail on Sunday'Absolute heaven' - Sunday Times'A hugely readable memoir from a giant of stage and screen' - Mark Kermode'A life well lived and a story well told. From first page to last Brian Cox the great actor is Brian Cox the great storyteller, and nobody is spared his sharp eye and his caustic wit, himself and some big Hollywood names included' - Alastair Campbell'Laced with his characteristic generosity, self-deprecation and cut-the-crap wisdom' - Harriet Walter'Mesmerizing' - Peter Biskind'Blisteringly brilliant' - Bryony Gordon'Funny and irreverent' - The TimesFrom Titus Andronicus with the RSC to media magnate Logan Roy in HBO's Succession, Brian Cox has made his name as an actor of unparalleled distinction and versatility. We know him on screen, but few know of his extraordinary life story.Growing up in Dundee, Scotland, Cox lost his father when he was just eight years old and was brought up by his three elder sisters in the aftermath of his mother's nervous breakdowns and ultimate hospitalization. After joining the Dundee Repertory Theatre at the age of fifteen, you could say the rest is history - but that is to overlook the enormous graft that has gone into the making of the legend we know today. This is a rags-to-riches life story like no other - a seminal autobiography that both captures Cox's distinctive voice and his very soul.Rich in emotion and meaning, with plenty of laughs along the way, it will be a classic in the vein of The Moon's a Balloon by David Niven and What's It All About by Michael Caine.

High Fidelity Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
High Fidelity is Nick Hornby's hilarious and heart-breaking first novel bestseller. Do you know your desert-island, all-time, top five most memorable split-ups? Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact. But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest ex. He's got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the girls that are on his list, and generally behave as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon, he's asking himself some big questions: about love, about life - and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do. A million-copy bestseller, and adapted into a 2000 film starring John Cusack, High Fidelity explores the world of break-ups, make-ups and what it is to be in love. This astutely observed and wickedly funny book will be enjoyed by readers of David Nicholls and William Boyd, and by generations of readers to come. "It will give enormous pleasure at the same time as expanding in a small but worthwhile way, the range of English literature". (Independent on Sunday). "Leaves you believing not only in the redemptive power of music but above all the redemptive power of love. Funny and wise, sweet and true". (Independent). "A triumphant first novel. True to life, very funny and moving". (Financial Times). Nick Hornby has captivated readers and achieved great critical acclaim for his comic, well-observed novels About a Boy, How to be Good, A Long Way Down (shortlisted for the Whitbread Award), Slam and Juliet, Naked. His three works of non-fiction, 31 Songs (shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award), Fever Pitch (winner of the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award) and The Complete Polysyllabic Spree are also available from Penguin.
