A lively and imaginative exploration of the career and music of the Rocket ManElton John is not only still standing, he is a living superlative, the ultimate record-breaking, award-winning survivor of the great era of pop and rock music that he helped to shape during his six decades in the music industry. Yet few of his numerous biographies and song guides take him as a historical subject worthy of scholarly study.In contrast, On Elton John approaches the artist seriously and analytically, while still couched in a highly accessible style. Author Matthew Restall offers a new way to explore Sir Elton s career and music within the contexts of other artists and of sweeping shifts in popular culture during his lifetime. Each of the ten chapters is anchored to an Elton song, rooted in its pop culture history, and advances a clear argument, pairing him with figures ranging from Bernie (Bernie Taupin, his lyricist) to Bennie (of the Jets), from frenemy David Bowie to artists like Rod Stewart, Aretha Franklin, and Dua Lipa, from Diana (the princess) to Jesus (yes, that one). Restall contends that Sir Elton s career offers us a novel way to see and understand the last half century of pop music and culture history--whether we call the era that of the album, of rock, of postmodernism, or of something else. The yellow brick road of Sir Elton s career has been long, winding, and bumpy, but, as Restall argues, his success has come not just despite but because of those challenges. The artist s transformations from Reg to Elton to Sir Elton to Uncle Elton, from ugly duckling to bedazzled swan, from the world s biggest rock star to creator of the world s largest AIDS fundraising organization, from tabloid punching bag to pop royalty, have all served as survival strategies that illuminate the era he has thereby navigated.A must-have for fans, On Elton John will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in music history, popular culture, and the social issues of our era.

Elton John je dlouhodobě nejúspěšnější zpěvák a skladatel všech dob. (Dosavadních) sedm dekád jeho života oplývá pozitivními i negativními zvraty. A nyní se dle vlastních slov rozhodl o svůj příběh podělit - do posledního komického i srdceryvného momentu. Odhaluje pravdu ohledně výchovy a vyrůstání na londýnském předměstí Pinner a popisuje komplikovaný vztah s rodiči. Chlapec pokřtěný jako Reginald Dwight byl stydlivý a jen nesměle snil o slávě popové hvězdy.

Já je dramatickým příběhem od původních neúspěchů písní skládaných společně s hudebním partnerem Berniem Taupinem až po nekontrolovaný vzestup na pozici superstar dominující všem žebříčkům; od přátelství s Johnem Lennonem, Freddiem Mercurym a Georgem Michaelem po tancování na diskotéce s Queen; od pokusů o sebevraždu až po tajnou drogovou závislost, která Eltona ve svém objetí svírala více než desetiletí. Elton John rovněž popisuje silný příběh o odvykání si a založení jeho nadace AIDS Foundation. Líčí, jak v Davidu Furnishovi nalezl pravou lásku, dovolenou s Versacem a vystoupení na pohřbu princezny Diany. A akcentuje okamžik, kdy se rozhodl stát otcem a jeho život se opět od základu změnil.

An evocative, clear-eyed, and revealing memoir by Bernie Taupin, the lyrical master and longtime collaborator of Elton John. This is the memoir music fans have been waiting for. Half of one of the greatest creative partnerships in popular music, Bernie Taupin is the man who wrote the lyrics for Elton John, who conceived the ideas that spawned countless hits, and sold millions and millions of records. Together, they were a duo, a unit, an immovable object. Their extraordinary, half-century-and-counting creative relationship has been chronicled in biopics (like 2019 s Rocketman) and even John s own autobiography, Me. But Taupin, a famously private person, has kept his own account of their adventures close to his chest, until now. Written with honesty and candour, Scatterhot allows the reader to witness events unfolding from Taupin s singular perspective, sometimes front and center, sometimes from the edge, yet always described vibrantly, with an infectious energy that only a vivid songwriter s prose could offer. From his childhood in the East Midlands of England whose imagination was sparked and forever informed by the distinctly American mythopoetics of country music and cowboys, to the glittering, star-studded fishbowl of 70s and 80s Beverly Hills, Scattershot is simultaneously a Tom Jones­-like picaresque journey across a landscape of unforgettable characters, as well as a striking, first-hand account of a creative era like no other and one man s experience at the core of it. An exciting, multi-decade whirlwind, Scattershot whizzes around the world as we ride shotgun with Bernie on his extraordinary life. We visit New York with him and Elton on the cusp of global fame. We spend time with him in Australia almost in residency at an infamous rock n roll hotel in an endless blizzard of drugs. And we spend late, late night hours with John Lennon, with Bob Marley, and hanging with Frank Sinatra. And beyond the world of popular music, we witness memorable encounters with writers like Graham Greene, painters like Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, and scores of notable misfits, miscreants, eccentrics, and geniuses, known and unknown. Even if they re not famous in their own right, they are stars on the page, and we discover how they inspired the indelible lyrics to songs such as Tiny Dancer, Candle in the Wind, Bennie and The Jets, and so many more. Unique and utterly compelling, Scattershot will transport the reader across the decades and around the globe, along the way meeting some of the greatest creative minds of the 20th century, and into the vivid imaginings of one of music s most legendary lyricists.

Epic Iran is a stunning introduction to the material culture of some of the great civilizations of Asia, curated by John Curtis, Ina Sarikhani Sandmann, and Tim Stanley. Â Iran was the home of some of the greatest civilizations of both the ancient and medieval worlds, but these achievements remain poorly known and largely misunderstood outside the country. Epic Iran tells the story of Iran from pre-Islamic through modern times and provides an opportunity to see pieces from key museum and private collections. This book combines the ancient and Islamic periods and continues the narrative into the contemporary world. It shows how civilized life emerged in Iran around 3,200 BC and how a distinctive Iranian identity formed 2,500 years ago has survived until today, expressed in the Persian language and in religious affiliations. Â Lavishly illustrated, some 250 images showcase pieces including goldwork, ceramics, glass, illustrated manuscripts, textiles, carpets, oil paintings, drawings, and photographs. Alongside the historical sweep are examples from contemporary artists and makers, demonstrating the rich antecedents still influencing some modern-day practitioners.

Britský bestseller, který roku 2012 vedl k nalezení těla Richarda III., ač podle legend mělo být vhozeno do řeky a zmizet na věky! Richard III. je znám jako jeden z nejkontroverznějších panovníků v anglické historii - díky skvělému dramatu Williama Shakespeara ho máme zafixovaného jako prvotřídního zloducha, schopného kvůli moci zavraždit i děti, a to vlastní synovce. V posledních 50 letech však probíhá mnoho dalších výzkumů, které legendy okolo Richarda III. vyvracejí. Tato kniha zcela nově a unikátním způsobem mapuje posledních 150 dní života Richarda III. Autor volí přístup z pozice pozorovatele před bitvou u Bosworthu, která se stala Richardovi osudnou, tj. očima člověka nezaujatého výsledkem bitvy, a odkrývá se nám tak zcela nový Richard: žádná pasivní oběť mořená výčitkami svědomí a čekající na svou porážku, ale aktivní král vykonávající své běžné denní povinnosti vyplývající z vlády, trochu naivně podceňující ambiciózního Jindřicha Tudora. Přezkoumáno je zde i období po bitvě u Bosworthu, tj. jak bylo zacházeno s Richardovými ostatky, jak probíhal jeho pohřeb a stavba jeho hrobky - jedna legenda za druhou, nánosy, které přinesla následující staletí, to vše se pomalu rozplývá pod přesvědčivými důkazy. Rovněž jsme svědky autorova fascinujícího pátrání po Richardově DNA, kterou úspěšně nalezl živou a zdravou přes mnohá pokolení až v daleké Kanadě. Díky ní bylo možné s jistotou identifikovat pozůstatky Richarda III., které byly objeveny roku 2012 na základě údajů uvedených v prvním vydání této knihy. Toto je překlad vydání druhého, již rozšířeného o poznatky z archeologického výzkumu. Autor John Ashdown-Hill byl historikem, členem Královské historické společnosti, Společnosti genealogů a Společnosti Richarda III. Napsal mnoho článků a knih na téma pozdního středověku v Anglii. Věnoval se novým metodám výzkumu a byl oceněn Řádem britského impéria.

Major General Sir Richard Hannay is the fictional secret agent created by writer and diplomat John Buchan, who was himself an Intelligence officer during the First World War. The strong and silent type, combining the dour temperament of the Scot with the stiff upper lip of the Englishman, Hannay is pre-eminent among early spy-thriller heroes. Caught up in the first of these five gripping adventures just before the outbreak of war in 1914, he manages to thwart the enemy s evil plan and solve the mystery of the thirty-nine steps . In Greenmantle, he undertakes a vital mission to prevent jihad in the Islamic Near East. Mr Standfast, set in the decisive months of 1917-18, is the novel in which Hannay, after a life lived wholly among men , finally falls in love; later, in The Three Hostages, he finds himself unravelling a kidnapping mystery with his wife s help. In the last adventure, The Island of Sheep, he is called upon to honour an old oath. A shrewd judge of men, he never dehumanises his enemy, and despite sharing some of the racial prejudices of his day, Richard Hannay is a worthy prototype hero of espionage fiction.
