When the Going Was Good - Graydon Carter

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2025 IN THE INDEPENDENT, GQ, NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES AND BBC CULTUREWhen the Going Was Good is Graydon Carter''s lively recounting of how he made his mark as one of society''s most talented editors and shapers of culture. Carter arrived in New York from Canada with little more than a suitcase, a failed literary magazine in his past and a keen sense of ambition. He landed a job at Time, went on to work at Life, co-founded Spy magazine and edited The New York Observer before catching the eye of Condé Nast chairman Si Newhouse, who tapped him to run Vanity Fair.With his inimitable voice and raconteur''s quip, Carter brings readers inside the drawing rooms of the great and not-always-good of America, Britain and Europe. He assembled one of the best-ever stables of writers and photographers under one roof, and here he re-creates in real time the steps he took to ensure that Vanity Fair during his 25-year run cemented its place as the epicentre of art, culture, business and politics. Charming, candid and brimming with humour, When the Going Was Good perfectly captures the last golden age of print magazines from the inside out.

Amnézie - Michael Robotham - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Minulost vás pronásleduje, i když si ji zrovna nepamatujete… Ztráta paměti dovede člověku převrátit život naruby. Tím spíš, když se vzpomínky vypaří z hlavy strážci zákona, kterého vylovili postřeleného z ledových vod Temže. Kdo a proč chtěl detektiva inspektora Vincenta Ruize připravit o život? A jak s tím souvisí léta pohřešovaná dívka, jejíž fotografii měl vyšetřovatel v kapse? S rozpomínáním mu pomáhá psycholog Joe O’Loughlin, ačkoli na důkladnější terapii není čas – po krku jdou Ruizovi jednak vrahové, jednak kolegové ze sboru. A taky obávaný místní mafián, shodou okolností otec malé Mickey Carlyleové, kterému zřejmě slíbil přivést dcerku zpět a jenž mu svěřil diamanty v hodnotě dvou milionů liber. Dokáže policista posedlý nevyřešeným případem poskládat celou mozaiku dřív, než mu vrtkavá štěstěna ukáže záda? Druhý díl populární série kriminálních thrillerů s psychologem OʼLoughlinem, který tentokrát sekunduje nezdolnému londýnskému detektivovi Vincentu Ruizovi. Kniha obdržela „australského Edgara“ – Cenu Neda Kellyho – za nejlepší kriminální román roku 2005. „Robotham obměnil hrdiny, ale nadále pracuje s ústředním motivem svého senzačního debutu: s postavou vyšetřovatele případu, který je zároveň hlavním podezřelým.“ – Kirkus Reviews. „Vynikající thriller s komplikovanými postavami. Napětí, které odráží nátlak policejních složek i úklady nebezpečného protivníka, je završeno nečekaným rozuzlením.“ – The Australian Crime Fiction Database. „Tohle mě na Joeovi děsí. Je to, jako by uměl otevřít člověku hlavu a číst si z jejího obsahu jako z čajových lístků. Není dobré se k někomu takovému dostat příliš blízko, protože jednoho dne by vám mohl nastavit zrcadlo a ukázat vám, co vidí vaše okolí.“ – ukázka z knihy.

Before She Was My Grandmother - Giselle Potter

From celebrated illustrator Giselle Potter, a beautiful and memorable story about the special bond between a grandparent and a grandchild. Whenever I visit my grandmother Alice, we love sitting together and telling each other stories. My favorite part is when she takes out her box of special things and we pass them back and forth. Each object—a doll, a sketchbook, shells and stones, and more—is a clue to a bigger story: the story of her life before she was my grandmother. Before she was my grandmother, she too was a young girl, with a life very different from my own. Little by little, the stories she tells and the objects she shares from her memory box reveal the many facets of her life, along with her great spirit, with its many colors and tones. Written and illustrated by the award-winning picture book maker Giselle Potter, Before She Was My Grandmother celebrates strong and loving family connections, as well as the little moments and mementos of childhood that we carry with us all our lives—and pass on to the next generation. It’s also a touching reminder of how every life is so much richer and more multifaceted than any single identity or role.

Michael Bolton - Michael Bolton

In 1987, up-and-coming celebrity photographer Timothy White got a call from American musician Michael Bolotin''s (now Bolton) record company, asking him to work on a photo shoot. When Bolton came over to his studio, Timothy was struck by his calm persona, dry wit, and superb sense of humour. The two immediately hit it off. The resulting full-of-life photographs that captured Bolton''s charisma and charm marked the start of not only a professional but also a personal relationship that would come to establish Bolton''s visual legacy and identity. Michael Bolton contains White''s handpicked collection of cinematic photographs featuring Bolton, on view together for the first time ever. The wide range of works include: Bolton with his trademark wavy locks blowing in the wind, pictures in his breathtaking neoclassical home, classic editorial studio shots, and heartwarming selections from shoots across a variety of urban and rural landscapes. The work spans decades, featuring Bolton at all stages of his career. Timothy shot some of his most recognizable photographs and album covers, and Bolton''s visual legacy is captured here in all its glory. It tells the story of two parallel and singular artistic careers. Original quotes from celebrities are peppered throughout the book''s pages and highlight Bolton''s impact on a range of famous lives and on wider society. Michael Jordan notes Bolton''s ''God-given talent,'' Kenny G declares Bolton has an undeniable gift, and Zelma Redding shares she was brought to tears by Bolton''s performances. Additional mash notes from Andy Samberg, Zoey Deschanel, Will Ferrell, Dolly Parton, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jordan, to name a few, fill out the testimonials of love. Bolton and White themselves contribute text, as well as Grammy-award winning American record producer and former president of Columbia Records, Clive Davis. Andy Samberg corks the tome with his take on the artist and music. Michael Bolton is released alongside Bolton''s hilarious new podcast Michael Bolton''s Big Sexy Podcast and a blues CD, featuring a wide array of Bolton''s previously unpublished, trademark covers. Chock-full of cinematic visuals and touching, personal texts that reveal a side of the enigmatic megastar that has never been presented before, the book portrays a comprehensive visual overview of the beloved performer and his impact on popular culture, while also highlighting an intimate collaboration between two exemplars of their respective talent fields.

What I Wish I’d Known When I Was Young - Alice Thomson, Rachel Sylvester

‘A superb study … brilliant stories, hilarious observations and jaw dropping revelations about so many figures in public life we thought we knew – but never understood’ EMILY MAITLIS Loss and adversity are part of the human condition, but an imperfect past isn’t always an indicator of what’s to come. This book traces a pattern: why is it that often the people with the hardest beginnings in life – children who experience displacement, disease, financial ruin, abandonment or bereavement – become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people, who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most?Of Britain’s fifty-five prime ministers, twenty-five lost one or both of their parents as a child and 69 per cent suffered some form of serious childhood trauma. For their acclaimed podcast Past Imperfect, Thomson and Sylvester spoke to some such prime ministers, as well as pioneers and poets, CEOs and chefs, actors and archbishops, sports stars and Nobel prize-winning scientists. How did Richard Branson overcome severe dyslexia? How did Daphne Park, born in lonely, rural Tanzania, become one of Britain’s top spies? How was diver Tom Daley driven on to win an Olympic gold medal by being bullied at school and his father’s early death?This book brings together psychological research with scores of intimate, fascinating interviews. The resulting narrative is full of hope, and might help us all towards a better understanding of resilience, motivation, perspective and courage.

When I Was Old - Georges Simenon

''For personal reasons, or for reasons I don''t know myself, I began feeling old, and I began keeping notebooks. I was nearing the age of sixty''Georges Simenon''s autobiographical notebooks, in which he recorded his observations, experiences, anxieties and ''all the silly ideas that pass through my head'', are one of the most candid self-portraits of a writer ever put to paper. Here, as the celebrated author ruthlessly examines his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his fears of ageing, the result is an unsparing, often painfully revealing insight into a man trying both to find and to escape himself. ''As revealed in these notebooks, Simenon''s is a shrewd, lucid mind ... the balance tips toward the real, the immediate, the mysteries of human complexity above all ... Utterly unpretentious'' The New York Times

Sky Was Falling - Cornelia Griggs

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER In this ';essential work that provides lasting insights and lessons for the individual and society' (Jerome Groopman, MD, New York Times bestselling author), a young pediatric surgeon and mother reveals her dramatic, cathartic diary, written as she worked on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic at one of New York City's busiest hospitals. For many of us, the experience of the peak pandemic was eerily incongruous. We were sequestered in our quiet homes but reminded of the devastation by the never-ending ping of news alerts. Dr. Cornelia Griggs's experience was altogether different. A pediatric surgery fellow in New York City, she was entering the final victory lap at the end of nine grueling years of training. She was set for a big graduation celebration and looking forward to spending some real time with her husband and kids. Then came COVID-19. Initially, Griggs encouraged her friends and family not to panic. However, as mysterious cases began showing up in the hospital, and then hospital supplies started disappearing from shelves, she couldn't hold back the feeling that this was going to be worse than she had thought. She wrote a startling op-ed in The New York Times called ';The Sky Is Falling' that went, for lack of a better word, viral. The piece was read by over a million people, and Griggs appeared on CNN. Having once aspired to be a journalist, Griggs found that the only way to make sense of what she was witnessing around her and maintain her sanity was to keep a diary. The Sky Was Falling is her day-to-day account of what most of us were grateful to only see in the newsthe sharply increasing case numbers, the dwindling supply of respirators, the lack of clarity on how to treat this new disease. Harrowing, deeply personal, and page-turning in the way of the best medical memoirs, it tells the story of healthcare professionals who went beyond what they thought they were capable of to heal their patients, and themselves.
