West of Eden - Jean Stein

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - West of Eden is the definitive story of Hollywood, told, in their own words, by the people on the inside: Lauren Bacall, Arthur Miller, Dennis Hopper, Frank Gehry, Ring Lardner, Joan Didion, Stephen Sondheim - all interviewed by Jean Stein, who grew up in the Forties in a fairytale mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The book takes us from the discovery of oil in the Twenties with the story of the tycoon Edward Doheny (There Will Be Blood) and traces the growth of corruption through the syndicates, the mob, and the movie studios - from the beginnings of the film industry to the end, with News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch (who bought the Stein mansion in 1985). West of Eden is about money, power, fame and terrible secrets: the doomed Hollywood of the late Fifties, early Sixties - the rotten heart of paradise Like her last book, the best-selling Edie, this is an oral history told through brilliantly edited interviews. As this is Hollywood, a book full of sex, drugs and celebrity glamour; but because it's built from the firsthand accounts of people who were actually there, many of them writers, actors and artists, it's also strangely claustrophobic, seductive, and completely compelling.

Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

A classic work, it is now available with a new preface by the author that discusses his current thoughts about a tragic episode in American history that has raised much controversy through the years. Praise for the earlier edition: "History as lively and gripping as good fiction." "One of the finest books on the Indian wars of the West."--Montana "A well-told, easily read account that will be the standard reference for this phase of the Indian 'problem.'"--American Historical Review "A major job ...magnificently researched."--San Francisco Chronicle "By far the best treatment of the complex and controversial relationship between the Sioux and their conquerors yet presented and should be must reading for serious students of Western Americana."--St. Louis Dispatch (on the earlier edition) Winner of the Buffalo Award

Bent Larsen´s Best Games

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

Bent Larsen (1935-2010) was one of the greatest fighters chess has ever seen. In his rich career the great Dane defeated all World Champions from Botvinnik to Karpov and he became one of the most successful tournament players of his time.  Bent Larsen's uncompromising style and his unorthodox thinking made him popular with chess players all around the globe.In 1967/1968 Larsen won five international elite events in a row, a truly spectacular achievement. His successes were such that Bobby Fischer let him play first board in the legendary Soviet Union vs. the World match in Belgrade in 1970.Bent Larsen also was a highly original chess writer and an extremely productive chess journalist. Not surprisingly the first chess book that Magnus Carlsen ever studied was written by the strongest Scandinavian player before him. This collection brings together more than 120 of Bent Larsen#8217;s games, selected and annotated by himself. His comments are lucid, to the point, often humorous and always instructive. Together, these games are a tribute to his genius  and a continuous joy to read and play through. Garry Kasparov:   #8220;One of the most colorful players of the 20th century.#8221; Alfonso Romero Holmes, former Spanish Chess Champion:   #8220;One of the best books in the entire history of chess. A masterpiece.#8221; Davide Nastasio, ChessCafe: "I have long wanted to have a collection of Larsen#8217;s games in algebraic notation. Unfortunately, the previous books were all in descriptive. Larsen#8217;s writing style is very pleasant, and accessible to the widest range of players (..) He shares many nice anecdotes and compelling insights." Anatoly Karpov: "Of the many chess masters I have met, Bent is the most original." Leonard Barden, The Guardian: "A collection of 120 of the legend#8217;s games annotated in his lucid, humorous and instructive style. An evocative book, and an excellent read." Christopher Lutz, former German Chess Champion:  #8220;With a fine sense of humor Larsen explains his aggressive and unconventional approach to chess, in way that is instructive to players of all strengths.#8221; Mihail Marin, author of 'Learn from the Legends': "Together with his love for and deep knowledge of chess, it is the refined humour of this outstanding player and highly cultured person that makes his comments so unique." Max Euwe Centre, Amsterdam: "An extremely fine book. Largely because Larsen was such a wonderful chess player." British Chess Magazine: "The most important book of the last twelve months." John Henderson, The Scotsman: "I doubt whether I#8217;ll read a finer book all year. A colourful attacking player, Larsen was considered the best player in the West in an era of Soviet chess hegemony before a certain Bobby Fischer burst on the scene. This wonderful reworking of his classic biographical anthology, printed by New in Chess, proved to be a seasonal delight and a timely reminder of just how good Larsen was, with some of his greatest wins over players such as Fischer, Smyslov, Petrosian Karpov and Spassky - world champions all." Jeremy Silman, author of 'How to Reassess Your Chess': "I consider the earlier version to be one of the best chess books ever written. This new version is even better." Peter Heine Nielsen, former Danish Champion, present second to Magnus Carlsen: "His chess writing is among the best, combining analysis with humour and psychological understanding of the fight."

Blue Hen's Chick University of Nebraska Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"For more than half a century A. B. Guthrie Jr. was the true voice of the real West. Guthrie recorded it best because he knew it best, because he actually lived the calamitous transition from Old West to New. Blue Hen's Chick is personal and historical narrative at its most honorable and artistic."--David L. Petersen "The writing skills and the feeling for the West's eye-stretching distances and dry-cleaned air which won Guthrie the Pulitzer Prize for The Way West reappear here. There is candor...There is humor and a zest for life. There is perception of character and the words to bring it into focus. There is wisdom and beauty."--Christian Science Monitor "To review an autobiography by A. B. Guthrie, Jr., is first to confront a literary legend, then to see it unfold into an important account that illuminates important times incasual places."--New York Times Book Review. "It was a fine country to grow up in. To find riches, a boy had only to go outside," writes A. B. Guthrie, Jr., aobut his childhood in Montana early in the twentieth century. This autobiography was originally published in 1965 when he was sixty-four and still had miles to go.It recounts lively adventures and reflects on a career that brought fame for The Big Sky (1947) and led to the Pulitzer Prize for The Way West (1949). In an afterword David Petersen, who edited Big Sky, Fair Land: The Environmental Essays of A. B. Guthrie, Jr. (1988), describes the last twenty-five years of Guthrie's life. The world-famous author died in 1991 at the age of ninety.

Trouble Shooter Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Hopalong Cassidy is one of the most enduring and popular heroes in frontier fiction. His legendary exploits in books, movies, and on television have blazed a mythic and unforgettable trail across the American West. Now, in the last of four Hopalong Cassidy novels written by Louis L'Amour, the immortal saddleman rides again -- this time into a lonely valley of danger and death. Hopalong Cassidy has received an urgent message from the dead. Answering an urgent appeal for help from fellow cowpuncher Pete Melford, he rides in only to discover that his old friends has been murdered and the ranch Pete left to his niece, Cindy Blair, had vanished without a trace. Hopalong may have arrived too late to save Pete, but his sense of loyalty and honor demands that he find that cold-blooded killers and return to Cindy what is rightfully hers. Colonel Justin Tradwar, criminal kingpin of the town of Kachina, is the owner of the sprawling Box T ranch, and he has built his empire with a shrewd and ruthless determination. In search of Pete's killers and Cindy's ranch, Hopalong signs on at the Box T, promising to help get Tradway's wild cattle out of the rattler-infested brush. But in the land of mesquite and black chaparral, Cassidy confronts a mystery as hellish as it is haunting -- a bloody trail that leads to the strange and forbidding Babylon plateau, to $60,000 in stolen gold, and to a showdown with an outlaw who has already cheated death once... and is determined to do it again. When Clarence E. Mulfold -- the original Hopalong Cassidy --retired, he chose the young Louis L'Amour to carry on the Hopalong tradition in four classic novels, including the "New York Times best-sellers "TheRustlers of West Fork, "The Trail to Seven Pines, and "The Riders of High Rock. Long out of print and now published for the first time under the author's own name, Trouble Shooter is a vividly authentic tale of the Old West that bears the unmistakable Louis L'Amour brand of sw
