From narrowly avoiding a trip in a mobster’s trunk and saving Howard Stern’s life from a murderous fan, to getting beat up by Spike Lee’s bodyguards and having guns drawn on him after spending Christmas with Mark Hamill and his family, Steve Grillo's life is nothing but surreal. Gorilla Parts is a roller coaster ride from blue-collar Canarsie to Manhattan’s most elite VIP rooms; a common-man’s extended glimpse into the last true era of limitless celebrity freedom: Pre-internet New York City.

From her first tentative training sessions through bruising sparring and building up to a full-blooded fight, Whitwham charts the transformative impact the sport—and all its complicated implications—has on her during a profoundly difficult period dealing with the grief of losing her mother to cancer.

With Think & Grow Rich being number 13 among the best-selling books of all time, it is no secret that Napoleon Hill is one of the most successful authors ever. Published in 1937, the book had sold 20 million copies by the time of Hill’s death in 1970. Then, by 2015, 100 million copies had been sold. Hill’s works are the result of Andrew Carnegie commissioning him to compose a “philosophy of individual achievement.” Carnegie was worth 380 million dollars at the time of his death, in 1919. Today, his wealth is estimated to be worth 310 billion dollars, making him the 6th wealthiest person ever.

Camille Claudel la transgressive, la sculptrice de génie, l’artiste sulfureuse et maudite, l’amante libre de Rodin, basculant dans la folie, enfermée à l’asile durant les trente dernières années de sa vie. Artiste trop avance sur son temps, elle s’affranchit de toutes les règles, de toutes les conventions sociales. Son œuvre sera sa vie. Outre qu’elle a sculpté avec acharnement durant trente ans, elle a été, quasiment toute sa vie, une épistolière assidue. Des lettres, elle en a écrit des centaines, et nombreuses sont celles perdues ou détruites.

In the six lectures of The Great Gatsby at 100, you will join Sheila Liming of Champlain College to revisit the context and culture of the Roaring ‘20s, which inspired the story of the mysterious Jay Gatsby and his disastrous pursuit of Daisy Buchanan. As you’ll discover, while Gatsby is framed as a love story, it’s also a story of the American experience, revealing the unspoken rules of wealth and class and the false promises of self-made success in a world of Old Money privilege.

虐待、いじめ、家庭内暴力、無理心中未遂 毒母との38 年の愛憎を描いた壮絶ノンフィクション

Una nueva, revolucionaria y muy documentada aportación a los estudios sobre Marcel Proust. Aunque hoy casi nadie lo recuerde, Marcel Proust escribió En busca del tiempo perdido, gracias a una extraordinaria capacidad de percepción que le permitió ver lo que nadie pudo. Sus contemporáneos lo consideraron un "médium despierto" y hablaron de él en términos que hoy lo vinculan a los fenómenos psíquicos. Este hecho —demostrado en las páginas de este estudio— fue silenciado por la crítica literaria... hasta ahora.

DOYLE'S WORLD is no ordinary biography about one of the world's most influential writers. It is instead a work that deciphers in particular the cryptic origins and actual scientific methods used by fiction's most famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes—and a work that provides a detailed look into the psyche and working life of Holmes’ creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The book follows Doyle’s entire illustrious literary career, with emphasis on the Sherlock Holmes mysteries as they evolved from the late 1880s to the early 1900s.

Léonard de Vinci est l’une des figures les plus emblématiques de la Renaissance. Fils illégitime privé de formation universitaire, son approche autodidacte dans quantités de domaines garantit l’originalité de cet esprit universel qui fut bien plus que l’auteur de La Joconde ou l’inventeur de machines volantes. Il fut également un anatomiste de renom, un ingénieur, un philosophe, un architecte et un inventeur.

When 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, cofounded 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.

Ein kurzer, aber prägnanter amüsanter Essay über Michelangelo und zwei ganz kurze über Giotto und Cimabue. Die Liebe zum Ausdruck des Schrecklichen hat laut Stendhal in Michelangelo seine Vollendung gefunden, da das Teuflische und Böse innerhalb (natürlich nicht nur) der christlichen Religion fester Bestandteil ist und er gezwungen war innerhalb dieser Schwarz-Weiß-Systematik seine dankbaren Motive auszuwählen. Michelangelo wurde am 6. März 1475 in Caprese, Toskana geboren und verstarb am 18. Februar 1564 in Rom. Er war ein italienischer Maler, Bildhauer und Baumeister.

Weaving together fragments of artists’ stories across time and place, Philip Hoare embarks on a Sebaldian exploration of the enduring legacy of William Blake. A poet, painter and printmaker who was unappreciated and considered mad in his own time, Blake was eventually lauded as a key pillar of the Romantic movement. His posthumous influence reverberates endlessly, from the films of Derek Jarman to our ongoing fear of technological advancement.

For half a century, Betty Halbreich curated wardrobes and bore witness to the vicissitudes of life as Bergdorf Goodman’s original personal shopper. Of course, visitors to the store were awed by a 96-year-old woman who still held down a nine-to-five, let alone one in the youth-obsessed industry of fashion. But age is only half the story: Betty built that career by giving encouraging yet deeply honest advice. Much of it was about what to wear, but her insight was by no means relegated only to matters of the closet.

Offering answers to those questions and more through a mix of travelogue and social history, A Month of Sundays entertainingly charts the story of what author Daniel Gray argues is the People's Day. Told through Sundays whiled away in places from the Hebrides to Hyde Park – via Sunderland, Scarborough, Liverpool and beyond – Gray's latest book is a charming journey in time and place. A Month of Sundays offers nostalgia, people's history and affectionate, absorbing writing – a book drenched in the scent of gravy and summoning the faint sound of church bells.
