Real life all too rarely offers stories that are quite as satisfying as fiction. Bringing Down the House is one of the exceptions: a real-life action thriller oozing with money, sex and some extremely dodgy dealing... Cheating in casinos is illegal; card-counting - making a record of what cards have so far been dealt to enable the player to make some prediction of what cards remain in the deck - is not. But casinos understandably dislike the practice and make every effort to keep card-counters out of their premises. Bringing Down the House tells the true story of the most successful financial scam ever, in which teams of brilliant young mathematicians and physicists won millions of dollars from the casinos and blackjack tables of Las Vegas, in the process getting drawn into the high life of drugs, sex and spending big. Bringing Down the House is as readable and as fascinating as Liar s Poker or Barbarians At the Gate, an insight into a closed, excessive and utterly corrupt world of gambling in Las Vegas.

He was alone in the world, and there was no one of whom he could ask a question.After the sudden death of his wife, two years after he has left office as Prime Minister, the Duke of Omnium must become deeply involved with his children for the first time. They vex him enormously: with school expulsions, vast gambling debts, and what he considers to be calamitous romantic attachments. He tries to compel them to do what he wants, but they are not so easy to manage.Even when his eldest child and heir, Lord Silverbridge, makes him proud by embarking upon a political career, the Duke grapples with heartache. For Silverbridge becomes a Conservative rather than a Liberal, flouting the family tradition. The relationship between father and son is drawn with remarkable subtlety, and the book as a whole becomes a piercing, yet often humorous, exploration of change: how both the young and the old resist, tolerate, or embrace it.Trollope cut roughly 65,000 words, at a vulnerable moment in his career, to get the novel published, but concluded rapidly that he had made a grievous error. After a painstaking reconstruction by a team of researchers, The Duke s Children, the final book in Trollope s famed Palliser series, can now be read the way he first intended. It is a masterpiece of Victorian fiction.

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince - while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable . . . but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society - just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm-at first.

Úplný, fascinující příběh života a díla Boba Dylana je v působivé knize Down The Highway, kterou lze považovat za definitivní biografii této americké hudební legendy, vyprávěn jako nikdy předtím.Už od počátku šedesátých let, kdy Bob Dylan ovlivnil průběh folkového revivalu písněmi jako Blowin’ In The Wind, byl jedním z nejlepších autorů nové éry, umělcem, jehož skladby zachytily ducha doby a upoutaly představivost milionů. Od té doby uplynulo hodně vody a Dylan je stále tady – milován těmi, kdo s jeho muzikou vyrůstali, a obdivován mladšími generacemi, které v něm rozpoznaly nepřekonatelného hudebního inovátora. Ačkoli strávil bezmála půl století pod drobnohledem médií, zůstal dodnes záhadnou postavou, jejíž soukromý život – od památné nehody v roce 1966 až po otázku, kolikrát se vlastně oženil a kolik má dětí – halí mlha tajemství.Uznávaný životopisec Howard Sounes v knize Down The Highway rozptyluje veškeré pochybnosti a nabízí nový, zasvěcený pohled na téměř každý aspekt Dylanovy existence, včetně jeho hudby, historie jednotlivých nahrávání, složitého milostného života, rodiny a obchodních záležitostí. Výsledkem je dokonalý a přesný portrét této nepolapitelné a těkavé hvězdy. Během tří let se autorovi podařilo vyzpovídat více než 250 osob, které v Dylanově příběhu sehrály klíčovou roli. Bývalí spoluhráči, přítelkyně a členové písničkářovy rodiny mu umožnili přístup k dosud neznámým dokumentům. Na základě této obrovské masy exkluzivních informací Sounes vystavěl chytlavou a čtivou biografii, srozumitelnou, a přitom velmi objevnou a vyčerpávající. Díky ní může čtenář s Dylanem znovu urazit celou jeho pouť, počínající v těžařském městečku v severní Minnesotě. Je to podivuhodná cesta a každý, kdo má doma nějaké album Boba Dylana, jí bude fascinován.Druhé, doplněné vydání této publikace obsahuje nové kapitoly, věnované poslednímu čtvrtstoletí, ve kterém vznikly Dylanovy knižní vzpomínky, rozhlasové pořady, kresby, sinatrovské nahrávky i autorské desky Modern Times, Together Through Life, Tempest a Rough And Rowdy Ways. Autor také nemohl opomenout rok 2016, kdy byla Bobu Dylanovi jako prvnímu písničkáři v dějinách udělena Nobelova cena za literaturu.Sounesova kniha Down The Highway vychází v češtině již podruhé a z anglického originálu ji přeložil Michal Bystrov.

The hotly anticipated book from ⠘one of the all-time pop-culture greats⠙ (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams.⠘Intense and compelling⠙ SUNDAY TIMES A gripping and powerful coming-of-age story TELEGRAPH⠘A masterpiece⠙ GREG JAMES, BBC RADIO 1Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself.This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents⠙ volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs ⠜The Artist⠝; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son.Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn⠙t just capture her evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience⠔it⠙s all here, in raw, remarkable and riveting detail.More than a year before the book s publication, Fox s description of it as a masterpiece in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.

“[A] memoir of . . . madcap travels, triumphs and humiliations. [Tonello] peels back the layers of pretension at the eminent design house. . . . Anyone who’s ever stepped into a luxury boutique and felt the sting of the doorman’s disapproval will find a hero in Tonello.” —Miami Herald The hilarious, whirlwind account of an insider’s years spent globe-trotting in search of the handbag called “a better investment than gold”: the Birkin. With a life that reads like a heist novel, Michael Tonello reveals the secret to bagging this legendary purse, coveted by celebrities and status-seekers around the world.For more than twenty years, the Hermès Birkin bag has been the iconic symbol of fashion, luxury, and wealth. Though the bag is often seen dangling from the arms of celebrities, there is a fabled waiting list of more than two years to buy one from Hermès, and the average fashionista has a better chance of climbing Mount Everest in Prada pumps than of possessing one of these coveted carryalls. Unless, of course, she happens to know Michael Tonello . . .Michael’s newfound career started with an impulsive move to Barcelona, a vanished job assignment, no work visa, and a Hermès scarf sold on eBay to generate some quick cash. But soon the resourceful Michael discovered the truth about the waiting list and figured out the secret to getting Hermès to part with one of these precious bags. Millions of dollars worth of Birkins later, Michael had become one of eBay’s most successful entrepreneurs—and a Robin Hood to thousands of desperate rich women. With down-to-earth wit, Michael chronicles the unusual ventures that took him to nearly every continent, from eBay to Paris auction house and into the lives of celebrities and poseurs. Flirting with danger, Michael recounts the heady rush of hand delivering his first big score to famed songwriter Carole Bayer Sager in Paris; how he had to hire thugs to rescue a bag that one of his “shoppers” held for ransom; and the story of the Oscar-worthy performances that allowed him to snag “reserved” bags from other, less dogged Birkin seekers.Whether he’s relating his wining and dining, buying and selling, dodging and weaving, laughing and crying, or schmoozing and stammering, Michael is a master raconteur who weaves together tales of hunting Birkins in the world’s most posh locales, memories of meals that would make any gastronome salivate, anecdotes of obsessed collectors with insatiable desires, and sweetly intimate stories about his family, friends, and finding true love. The result is a memoir that is distinctive, fun, page-turning, and as addictive as its namesake.

Definitive...Not just for Talking Heads fans⠔it⠙s a masterful dive into downtown New York in the 70s, and the changing face of rock music.⠝⠔Town Country Riveting ⠔New York Post A masterful achievement. ⠔Booklist (starred review)On the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads, acclaimed music biographer Jonathan Gould presents the long-overdue, definitive story of this singular band, capturing the gritty energy of 1970s New York City and showing how a group of art students brought fringe culture to rock⠙s mainstream, forever changing the look and sound of popular music. ⠜Psycho Killer.⠝ ⠜Take Me to the River.⠝ ⠜Road to Nowhere.⠝ Few musical artists have had the lasting impact and relevance of Talking Heads. One of the foundational bands of New York⠙s downtown 1970s music scene, Talking Heads have endured as a musical and cultural force for decades. Their unique brand of transcendent, experimental rock remains a lingering influence on popular music⠔despite their having disbanded over thirty years ago. Now New Yorker contributor Jonathan Gould offers an authoritative, deeply researched account of a band whose sound, fame, and legacy forever connected rock music to the cultural avant-garde. From their art school origins to the enigmatic charisma of David Byrne and the internal tensions that ultimately broke them apart, Gould tells the story of a group that emerged when rock music was still young and went on to redefine the prevailing expectations of how a band could sound, look, and act. At a time when guitar solos, lead-singer swagger, and sweaty stadium tours reigned supreme, Talking Heads were precocious, awkward, quirky, and utterly distinctive when they first appeared on the ragged stages of the East Village. Yet they would soon mature into one of the most accomplished and uncompromising recording and performing acts of their era. More than just a biography of a band, Gould masterfully captures the singular time and place that incubated and nurtured this original music: downtown New York in the 1970s, that much romanticized, little understood milieu where art, music, and commerce collided in the urban dystopia of Lower Manhattan. What emerges is an expansive portrait of a unique cultural moment and an iconoclastic band that shifted the paradigm of popular music by burning down the house of mainstream rock.
