Kingdomtide - Rye Curtis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 DYLAN THOMAS PRIZEThe best novel I’ve read in a long time’ Roddy DoyleThe lives of two women – the sole survivor of an airplane crash and the troubled park ranger who leads the rescue mission to find her – intersect in a gripping debut novel of second thoughts and second chancesI no longer pass judgment on any man nor woman. People are people, and I do not believe there is much more to be said on the matter. Twenty years ago I might have been of a different mind about that, but I was a different Cloris Waldrip back then. I might have gone on being that same Cloris Waldrip, the one I had been for seventy-two years, had I not fallen out of the sky in that little airplane on Sunday, August 31, 1986. It does amaze that a woman can reach the tail end of her life and find that she hardly knows herself at all.When seventy-two-year-old Cloris Waldrip finds herself lost and alone in the unforgiving wilderness of the Montana mountains, with only a bible, a sturdy pair of boots, and a couple of candies to keep her alive, it seems her chances ...

So This is Permanence - Ian Curtis

So this is permanence, edited by Jon Savage with a foreword by Deborah Curtis, presents the intensely personal writings of one of the most enigmatic and influential songwriters and performers of the late twentieth century, Joy Division''s Ian Curtis. The songs of Joy Division, infused with the energy of punk but steeped in a resigned longing, were born of Manchester in the late seventies - a once flourishing industrial city in decline. They were the songs too of Ian Curtis''s inner tragedies, as he battled depression, epilepsy and debilitating stage fright. Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, on the eve of the band''s first American tour. Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile pages of Ian''s notebooks, which throw his highly emotive lyrics into fascinating relief and cast light on the creative process of this singularly poetic songwriter.

Regarded as the essential book on the essential icon of the post-punk era, Touching from a Distance includes a full set of Curtis''s lyrics and a discography and gig list.

Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter - Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law. In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history. Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with this unflinching guide to entrepreneurship, offering unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback and learn ...

Sestry - Curtis Sittenfeldová

Kdyby se vás někdo zeptal, jaká je vaše sestra, co byste odpověděli? Je hodná, nebo zlá? Úplně jiná než vy? Podobně protikladné jsou i hrdinky románu Sestry od americké autorky Curtis Sittenfeldové. Jedna racionální, druhá iracionální, jedna tuctově konvenční, druhá odvážně volnomyšlenkářská, jedna úzkostlivě opatrná, druhá nezodpovědně ztřeštěná, to jsou sestry Kate a Violet, a přestože jsou to jednovaječná dvojčata, jsou jako den a noc. Kdysi měly něco společného, schopnost předvídat budoucnost, jejich okolí je však za to nemilosrdně odsoudilo k životu na okraji. To jejich cesty na začátku dospělosti rozdělilo. Kate vede běžný život matky dvou malých dětí, ale každou chvíli v něm probleskují temné ozvěny minulosti, zato její sestra Violet věří, že má "vyšší poslání". Po překvapivém, třebaže slabém zemětřesení oznámí Violet médiím, že St. Louis brzo zasáhne ničivé zemětřesení. Její zpráva spustí mediální lavinu a odstartuje řetěz událostí, které vyústí v zemětřesení, jaké nikdo nečekal. Psychologická sonda do vztahu dvou sester, které se pokoušejí každá po svém vyrovnat s traumatickými zážitky z dětství, nepostrádá spád, vtip a ironii, o překvapivé zvraty není nouze. I na konci zůstává mnoho otázek pro čtenáře nezodpovězeno: Mají sestry skutečný dar vidět do budoucnosti, nebo jen výjimečně vyvinutý pozorovací talent a empatii? ...

And a Bottle of Rum - Wayne Curtis

Now revised, updated, and with new recipes, And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of this most American of liquorsFrom the grog sailors drank on the high seas in the 1700s to the mojitos of Havana bar hoppers, spirits and cocktail columnist Wayne Curtis offers a history of rum and the Americas alike, revealing that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the booming sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society. Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, where rum delivered both a cheap wallop and cash for the Revolution; to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America; to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba; and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America. Here are sugar barons and their armies conquering the Caribbean, Paul Revere stopping for a nip during his famous ride, Prohibitionists marching against "demon rum," Hemingway fattening his liver with Havana daiquiris, and today''s bartenders reviving old favorites like Planter''s Punch. In an age of microbrewed beer and single-malt whiskeys, rum--once the swill of the common man--has found its way into the tasting rooms of the most discriminating drinkers. ...

The Catcher in the Rye (9780241950425)

Kniha - anglicky "The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen-year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you. Written with the clarity of a boy...
