Scrisă cu ajutorul lui Mark Manson, Will este povestea felului în care un om reușește să-și stăpânească propriile emoții, scrisă ca să-i ajute pe cei care caută să realizeze același lucru. Doar câțiva dintre noi vom cunoaște vreodată presiunea interpretării pe cele mai mari scene ale lumii, pentru cele mai mari mize, însă cu toții putem înțelege că uneori e nevoie să renunțăm la carburantul care ne-a adus până într-un punct al evoluției personale, dacă vrem să ne continuăm călătoria.

Un’autobiografia dirompente che svela senza pudore tutta la storia di una delle più incredibili ascese hollywoodiane dei nostri tempi. Alla soglia dei cinquant’anni Will Smith pensava – e come dargli torto?

Johann Sebastian Bach today has a reputation as the Godfather of Western European music, as a fountainhead of classical music theory and the creator of some of the greatest works the world has ever produced. Better known as a keyboard virtuoso, Bach was not regarded as a genius in his day, so how did this headstrong and belligerent but ambitious young musician become so extremely productive? What were his influences? How did he end up in jail and what did he get up to in Café Zimmerman?

When we think of Ludwig van Beethoven images of a stormy and passionate but tortured genius are brought to mind, alongside the transformative effect of his work on musical history. All of these things are true, but no artist lives in a vacuum, and even music that opens a portal onto 'the infinite realm of the spirit' has its wider context.

Claude Debussy is regarded by many as the quintessential French composer, with music that invited both warm applause and frosty criticism in his day. While our ears no longer hear him as controversial, his works heralded the dawn of an artistic period founded on innovation and experiment, and a desire to break with the past in search of new expressive means. With never a dull moment, Debussy went from being a musical misfit at the Paris Conservatoire to bohemian life amongst the Symbolist poets and some scandalous love affairs.

Tchaikovsky declared that Mozart was 'full of divine beauty', and Schubert's wonder at the 'countless images of a brighter and better world' that Mozart was able to conjure up through his music knew no bounds. Many of us carry the image of Mozart as a transcendent genius, but what do we really know about his life and career, and indeed his music? This entertaining and informative biography takes us from Mozart's beginnings as a child prodigy to his greatest successes and cruellest setbacks.

Come the late '70s, the rock music landscape was littered with the bloated carcasses of bands who partied too hard, burned out, or became complacent in success. The door was open for something fresh, wild, and enrapturing. Enter Van Halen. Van Halen: The Eruption and the Aftershock tells the story of how one of America's greatest bands weathered arguably the most dramatic soap opera in rock and roll history with songs that would weave themselves into the fabric of every musician who heard them, alongside an incendiary and unrivaled live show.

An album-by-album celebration of the life and music of Mac Miller through oral histories, intimate reflections, and critical examinations of his enduring work.

In this groundbreaking book spanning decades of artistic risk-taking, the inventor of “industrial music”, founder of Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV, and world-renowned fine artist with COUM Transmissions, Genesis P-Orridge (1950-2020) takes us on a journey searching for identity and their true self. It is the story of a life of creation and destruction, where Genesis P-Orridge reveals their unwillingness to be stuck—stuck in one place, in one genre, or in one gender.

What was he after? He was on a hunt for the gods inside of you and me.

Now Kitty Kelley has gone behind palace walls to provide the first three-dimensional, comprehensive, and evenhanded portrait of the men and women who make up the British Royal family.

Miguel nace a principios de los años treinta, justo cuando en Barcelona se vive «la edad de oro del transformismo», y aunque ni él ni sus padres lo saben en ese momento, va a dar mucho de que hablar, va a hablar mucho y también va a cantar; pero, sobre todo, va a dar el cante. Esta es parte de su vida... y por qué no decirlo también, parte de la de muchos de nosotros.

Quando i Beatles fecero la loro dirompente comparsa sul radar popolare si avvertì la ne- cessità di distinguere e identificare ciascuno dei quattro; e George Harrison fu etichettato come il «Beatle tranquillo». Harrison però divenne molte cose al di là del suo soprannome, e da Beatle tranquillo si trasformò in Beatle indagatore, l’esploratore spirituale del gruppo, il più impegnato a incontrare sciamani, il più determinato a trovare un guru, e intrecciò quella ricerca con la sua musica.

Con una asombrosa investigación a su espalda, y su peculiar sentido del humor, Foenkinos escribe una biografía única, con un Lennon que cuenta en primera persona su infancia, la compleja relación con sus padres, su primer matrimonio, la tormentosa historia de los Beatles, su amor con Yoko Ono y su filosofía de vida. Las palabras e ideas de quien decidió que el mejor modo de conseguir una reacción política era recibir a la prensa sin moverse de su cama cobran, en esta época de crisis, una inusitada actualidad.

After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art.
