Finders Keepers

Biographies & Memoirs

The “unexpectedly moving” story of dumb luck and the American Dream set in South Philly from the # 1 New York Times–bestselling author (Entertainment Weekly). What would you do if you found a million dollars? When Joey Coyle did, he was a twenty-eight-year-old drug-dependent, unemployed longshoreman living with his ailing mother in a tight-knit Philadelphia neighborhood. While cruising the streets just blocks from his home, fate took a turn worthy of a Hollywood caper when he found $1.2 million in unmarked bills—casino money that had fallen off an armored truck. It was virtually untraceable. Coyle? Not so much. Over the next seven days, fueled by euphoria, methamphetamine, and paranoia, Coyle shared his windfall with everyone from his eight-year-old niece to total strangers to a local mob boss who offered to “clean” it. All the while, Det. Pat Laurenzi and members of the FBI were working around the clock to find it. No one was prepared for how Coyle’s dream-come-true would come tumbling down, or what would happen when it did. From “a master of narrative journalism” comes the incredible true-life thriller of an ordinary man with an extraordinary dilemma, and the complicity, concern, and betrayal of friends, family, and neighbors that would prove his undoing (The New York Times Book Review). “A miniature serio-comedy about life in the city.” —The Washington Post “Masterfully reported and artfully paced.” —Entertainment Weekly “A taut, fast-paced tale.” —The Baltimore Sun

Love Me, Hate Me

Biographies & Memoirs

From acclaimed sports writer and bestselling author Jeff Pearlman, a searing and insightful look into the life and career of Barry Bonds, one of the most celebrated, contradictory and controversial sports figures of our timeNo player in the history of baseball has left such an indelible mark on the game as Barry Bonds. In his twenty-year career, Bonds has amassed an unprecedented 7 Most Valuable Player awards, 8 Gold Gloves, and more than 700 home runs (and counting), an impressive assortment of feats that has earned him the consideration as one of the greatest players the game has ever seen. Equally deserved, however, is his reputation as an insufferable braggart, whose mythical home runs are rivaled only by his legendary ego. From his staggering ability and fabled pedigree (father Bobby played outfield for the Giants; cousin Reggie and godfather Willie are both Hall of Famers), to his well-documented run-ins with teammates and his alleged steroid abuse, Bonds inspires a like amount of passion from both sides of the fence. For many, Bonds belongs beside Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron in baseball’s holy trinity; for others, he embodies all that is wrong with the modern athlete: aloof; arrogant; alienated.Drawing on extensive interviews with Bonds himself, members of his family, former and current managers, teammates, opponents, trainers, outspoken critics, and unapologetic supporters alike, Pearlman reveals, for the first time, a wonderfully nuanced portrait of a prodigiously talented—and immensely flawed—American icon, whose controversial run at baseball immortality forever changed the way we look at our sports heroes.

Rubén Darío

Biographies & Memoirs

Algunas de las anécdotas que Rubén Darío contó sobre sus expediciones parisinas y romanas (ver la Autobiografía de Rubén Darío) pueden ser vistas ahora bajo otra luz, a través de esta biografía de Rubén Darío escrita por José María Vargas Vila. Publicada en 1917, apenas un año después de la muerte de Darío, este volumen contiene un intenso relato acerca de la amistad que los unió y observaciones sobre los méritos poéticos de Darío. Sorprende además su estilo que parece imitar la versificación de la poesía y que, sin embargo, no pierde su tensión narrativa.Vale como anécdota revelar que esta estrecha amistad no empezó de manera afortunada. Ocurrió que, de jóvenes tuvieron un desencuentro, cuando Vargas Vila atacó a Rubén Darío llamándolo «Poeta Cortesano», por haber aceptado el nombramiento del presidente de Colombia Rafael Núñez. Tal nombramiento indignó profundamente a Vargas Vila, quien llamó al escritor nicaragüense «el tirano poeta».A partir de entonces, ambos se convirtieron en enemigos acérrimos. Pero, pasado algunos años, la enemistad se dio por cancelada, de manera accidental, cuando corrió la falsa noticia de que Vargas Vila había muerto en un naufragio frente a las costas de Sicilia —otros decían que de Grecia—, y según el periódico La Nación de Buenos Aires, en un probable suicidio del colombiano junto a una misteriosa artista. El hecho fue que de este falso acontecimiento surgió una nota necrológica de Rubén Darío, aparecida poco después en el mismo diario La Nación, en donde despedía al «escritor revolucionario» y elogiaba su obra, además de que reclamaba para el escritor colombiano un «lugar preciso en el Panteón de los artistas».A cambio, Vargas Vila —que no había muerto—, decidió generosamente corresponder a los halagos, alabando el genio de Rubén Darío. Así comenzó a formarse una amistad entre ellos que se estrechó cuando se vieron años después en Roma. Esa amistad perduraría hasta el final de sus días.

A imperatriz de ferro

Biographies & Memoirs

A biografia reveladora da imperatriz Cixi, a mulher que passou de concubina à monarca suprema da China, comandando o país por quase meio século.Não há dúvida de que a imperatriz viúva Cixi (1835-1908) é a mulher mais importante da história chinesa. Tendo governado o país por décadas, ela hoje é considerada a principal responsável por ter conduzido o império medieval à era moderna.Aos dezesseis anos, numa seleção nacional para acompanhantes reais, Cixi foi escolhida para ser uma das concubinas do imperador. Quando ele morre, em 1861, é o filho de cinco anos de ambos que assume o trono. Mas a imperatriz organiza um golpe contra os regentes indicados pelo marido e passa a ser a verdadeira líder da China.A biógrafa Jung Chang descreve com toda vivacidade a luta de Cixi contra os enormes obstáculos que precisaram ser derrubados para mudar o império chinês. Ela foi a responsável por implantar os atributos de um Estado moderno, como a indústria, ferrovias, eletricidade e novos armamentos, e mesmo por avanços como a abolição de torturas milenares e o reconhecimento dos direitos das mulheres. A autora desmonta, portanto, a visão tradicional de que a imperatriz viúva não passava de uma déspota sanguinária e conservadora.Baseada em documentos fundamentais que só ficaram disponíveis recentemente, esta biografia veio para revolucionar o entendimento sobre um período crucial da história da China e do mundo. Narrado num ritmo rápido e envolvente, é tanto um panorama do nascimento de uma nação moderna como o retrato íntimo de uma grande mulher.

A Sense of Where You Are

Biographies & Memoirs

The first book from the legendary New Yorker writer John McPhee, tells about Bill Bradley when he was the best basketball player Princeton had ever seen. When John McPhee met Bill Bradley, both were at the beginning of their careers. In A Sense of Where You Are,McPhee delineates for the reader the training and techniques that made Bradley the extraordinary athlete he was, and this part of the book is a blueprint of superlative basketball. But athletic prowess alone would not explain Bradley's magnetism, which is in the quality of the man himself—his self-discipline, his rationality, and his sense of responsibility.Here is a portrait of Bradley as he was in college, before his time with the New York Knicks and his election to the U.S. Senate—a story that suggests the abundant beginnings of his professional careers in sport and politics.

Churchill

Biographies & Memoirs

Si racconta che nel 1899 un giovane Winston Churchill, corrispondente del "Morning Post" durante la seconda guerra boera, abbia incoraggiato un uomo appena ferito di striscio al grido di: «Nervi saldi, ragazzo! Nessuno viene colpito due volte lo stesso giorno». È solo uno degli infiniti aneddoti sul suo conto, ma mette in luce lo strano mix di ironia e cinismo, decisione e combattività che lo portò a essere uno degli uomini più importanti del Novecento. Sono talmente celebri le sue battute, la sua risolutezza, il suo acume, da far venire il dubbio che in qualche modo Churchill abbia sfruttato le sue doti narrative per costruire in vita un monumento a se stesso: è pur sempre l'unico statista ad aver vinto un premio Nobel per la letteratura. Ma è stato davvero l'uomo del destino, che l'Occidente liberale ha contrapposto ai più bui totalitarismi? Reduce dal monumentale e acclamato Napoleone il Grande, lo storico Andrew Roberts accetta questa nuova sfida e attinge a una sterminata documentazione (fra cui i diari privati di re Giorgio vi, usati per la prima volta) per redigere anche di Churchill la biografia definitiva. Ne rievoca l'infanzia all'interno dell'aristocrazia inglese, fino all'apprendistato militare in India, segue poi i primi incarichi politici e i compiti assegnatigli durante la prima guerra mondiale. Qui Churchill impara a risollevarsi dalle sconfitte, facendo tesoro dei suoi stessi errori: come stratega militare fallisce la campagna di Gallipoli, così che all'indomani del conflitto mondiale si trova progressivamente estraniato dal cuore della politica inglese. Eppure, con l'acume e la verve del polemista, è fra i primi a scorgere il pericolo dei totalitarismi. Così, quando il Regno Unito chiama, è pronto al rispondere: torna alla ribalta durante la seconda guerra mondiale, dimostrando di saper trattare alla pari con Unione Sovietica e Stati Uniti, e nell'ora più buia diviene la voce della nazione, l'uomo risoluto ma fiducioso nel futuro della democrazia attorno a cui si stringe un intero popolo e forse l'intero continente. Lontano dall'agiografia ma non immune al fascino del personaggio, Churchill, la biografia restituisce tutte le luci dell'intelligenza e le ombre del carattere (tra sospetti di alcolismo, cronica umoralità e crolli depressivi) di un uomo che non fu un predestinato, ma un fabbro del proprio, e del nostro, destino. «È indiscutibilmente la miglior biografia di Winston Churchill, scritta con sapienza narrativa, ricca di ambizione e non priva di tenerezza.» - Wall Street Journal «Si tratta della più grande biografia su Churchill mai scritta, che Roberts racconta con grande autorevolezza e non poco brio.» - The New York Times «Un libro che illumina il mito senza scadere nell'agiografia.» - The Guardian «Una biografia che è già un classico, la sintesi magistrale di una vasta documentazione.» - Le Monde «Andrew Roberts racconta con maestria il temperamento, le convinzioni, il destino del più grande uomo di stato britannico del xx secolo.» - Le Figaro

Rainbow in the Cloud

Biographies & Memoirs

“Words mean more than what is set down on paper,” Maya Angelou wrote in her groundbreaking memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Indeed, Angelou’s words have traveled the world and transformed lives—inspiring, strengthening, healing. Through a long and prolific career in letters, she became one of the most celebrated voices of our time. Now, in this collection of sage advice, humorous quips, and pointed observations culled from the author’s great works, including The Heart of a Woman, On the Pulse of Morning, Gather Together in My Name, and Letter to My Daughter, Maya Angelou’s spirit endures. Rainbow in the Cloud offers resonant and rewarding quotes on such topics as creativity and culture, family and community, equality and race, values and spirituality, parenting and relationships. Perhaps most special, Maya Angelou’s only son, Guy Johnson, has contributed some of his mother’s most powerful sayings, shared directly with him and the members of their family. A treasured keepsake as well as a beautiful tribute to a woman who touched so many, Rainbow in the Cloud reminds us that “If one has courage, nothing can dim the light which shines from within.”

Mao

Biographies & Memoirs

Mythos und Massenmörder – die Wahrheit über Mao Tse-tungEs war nicht das Wohl seines Volkes, das Mao Tse-tung, dem Großen Vorsitzenden der Volksrepublik China, am Herzen lag. Es war auch nicht die kommunistische Ideologie, obwohl er ihren weltweiten Sieg anstrebte. Das Motiv von Maos Handeln war ausschließlich und zu jeder Zeit sein absoluter Wille zur Macht. Ob auf persönlicher, auf nationaler, auf internationaler Ebene – sein Machthunger war grenzenlos. Mao Tse-tung hat nicht alle, aber viele seiner Ziele erreicht, und China hat teuer dafür bezahlt: mit dem Leben von 70 Millionen Menschen.Kein Buch über China hat je mehr Leser und Anhänger gefunden als Jung Changs Erinnerungsbuch WILDE SCHWÄNE, das in 30 Sprachen übersetzt und zehn Millionen Mal verkauft wurde. Jetzt erscheint ihr lang erwartetes neues Werk – eine bahnbrechende Biographie über Mao Tse-tung, den Mann, dem es gelang, sich auf vielfach gewundenen Pfaden zum Alleinherrscher über Hunderte Millionen Menschen aufzuschwingen. Jung Chang hat die letzten zwölf Jahre damit verbracht, allen Spuren dieses Menschen nachzugehen, der zu den einflussreichsten politischen Gestalten des 20. Jahrhunderts gehörte, dessen Aura Staatsmänner in aller Welt beeindruckte, und dessen Gedanken und Worte in millionenfacher Verbreitung in zahllosen Ländern auf Begeisterung stießen. Doch der Mann, den sie in ihrem Buch für den Leser lebendig werden lässt, weist ganz andere Züge auf – es sind sehr viel hässlichere.Die jahrelangen Recherchen in allen relevanten Archiven und die zahllosen Gespräche mit Zeitzeugen – mit Politikern in Ost und West, die mit Mao in Berührung gekommen waren, mit unbekannten chinesischen Betroffenen, mit Führungsfiguren aus Maos engsten Zirkeln, die sich nie zuvor geäußert hatten – haben die Autorin in die Lage versetzt, endlich und zum ersten Mal ein wahrheitsgetreues, ein realistisches Bild jener Epoche aufzuzeigen, kein von kommunistischen oder persönlichen Machtinteressen gefärbtes und verbrämtes. Und so gelingt es ihr, die Wahrheit hinter zahlreichen, von den Kommunisten gehegten und gepflegten Mythen ans Licht zu bringen und viele, teils von Mao vorsätzlich und gekonnt verbreitete Falschdarstellungen zu entlarven.

Born to Run

Biographies & Memoirs

«C'è qualcosa di strano nel raccontarsi per iscritto... Tuttavia, c'è una promessa che l'autore di un libro come questo fa al lettore: aprirgli la propria mente. È quanto ho cercato di fare in queste pagine.» BRUCE SPRINGSTEENNel 2009 Bruce Springsteen e la E Street Band si esibirono al Super Bowl: l'esperienza fu talmente entusiasmante che Bruce decise di metterla su carta. Nasce così questa straordinaria autobiografia, a cui Bruce ha dedicato gli ultimi sette anni e dove ritroviamo tutta la sincerità, l'ironia e l'originalità a cui ci ha abituato con le sue canzoni. Ci racconta la sua infanzia a Freehold, nel New Jersey, un luogo pieno di poesia ma anche di potenziali rischi, destinato ad alimentare la sua immaginazione, fino al momento che Bruce chiama «Big Bang»: il debutto di Elvis Presley all'«Ed Sullivan Show». Descrive il suo desiderio incontenibile di diventare un musicista, gli esordi come re delle bar band ad Asbury Park e la nascita della E Street Band. Con candore disarmante, per la prima volta Bruce illustra i tormenti interiori che hanno ispirato i suoi capolavori, a cominciare proprio da Born to Run, un brano che qui si rivela più complesso di quanto immaginassimo. È una lettura illuminante per chiunque ami Bruce Springsteen, ma è molto più del memoir di una rockstar leggendaria: è un libro per spiriti pratici e inguaribili sognatori, per genitori e figli, per innamorati e cuori solitari, per artisti, fricchettoni e chiunque voglia essere battezzato nel sacro fiume del rock. È raro che un artista racconti la propria storia in maniera così intensa e dettagliata. Come in tante delle sue canzoni (Thunder Road, Badlands, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, Born in the USA, The Rising e The Ghost of Tom Joad, per citarne solo alcune), nell'autobiografia di Bruce Springsteen troviamo l'ispirazione di un autore unico e la saggezza di un uomo che ha riflettuto a fondo sulle proprie esperienze.

“The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself” is the autobiographical account of Saint Teresa of Avila, a prominent 16th century Spanish mystic, Carmelite nun, theologian, and writer of the Counter Reformation. Saint Teresa of Avila was born in 1515 in Avila, Spain to a wealthy and prominent family. After the death of her mother when she was 11, she went to live with the Augustinian nuns and devoted the rest of her life to the church until her death in 1582.

Her autobiography is intended to be instructional and to show the reader how to live a more devout Christian life in the manner put forth by the Catholic Church. A classic work of Christian mysticism “The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila by Herself” is a must read for anyone seeking a more contemplative life and a closer and more spiritual connection with God through prayer and religious devotion.

The Life and Diary of David Brainerd

Biographies & Memoirs

A major influence on the domestic and foreign missionary movement of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, "The Life and Diary of David Brainerd" is Jonathan Edwards’ biography of David Brainerd. David Brainerd was an 18th century colonial American missionary. During the last five years of his lifetime, which was tragically cut short by tuberculosis at the age of twenty-nine, he traveled over three thousand miles on horseback in order to spread the word of the bible to the native peoples of America. Brainerd’s life was one of hardship. Orphaned at the age of fourteen, Brainerd suffered from a deep depression that was at times immobilizing. The tuberculosis that killed him which is believed to have been contracted some seven years earlier while he was a student at Yale was only made worse by the harsh wilderness lifestyle that his missionary work demanded. Jonathan Edwards substantially edited his diary for publication and published it posthumously in 1749; ever since it has been a source of inspiration for Christian missionaries the world over.

De la Guerre - Livre 1

Biographies & Memoirs

« - On trouvera Étrange, et non sans raison, qu’un ouvrage sur de semblables matières soit accompagné d’une préface écrite par la main d’une femme. Mes amis n’ont besoin à cet égard d’aucune explication; mais j’ose espérer que, vis-à-vis de ceux qui ne me connaissent pas, le simple récit de ce qui m’a portée à tracer ces lignes, suffira pour éloigner de leur esprit toute apparence de présomption de ma part. L’ouvrage que ces quelques mots doivent précéder, a occupé presque exclusivement les douze dernières années de l’existence de l’époux qui m’était cher au-delà de toute expression, et que la mort, hélas ! a ravi trop tôt à sa famille et à la patrie. Son désir le plus ardent était de terminer cette œuvre ; mais son intention n’était pas de la communiquer au public durant sa vie. Quand je m’efforçais de le faire renoncer à ce dessein, il me répondait souvent, soit en plaisantant, soit à raison du pressentiment d’une fin précoce : « c’est toi qui le publieras. » D’après l’avis de mes amis, ces paroles (qui, dans ces jours de bonheur, ont fait souvent couler mes larmes, quelque peu que je fusse disposée alors à y attacher une signification sérieuse), m’imposent comme un devoir de mettre à jour les œuvres laissées par mon époux bien-aimé. Quoiqu’on puisse différer d’opinion à cet égard, on ne se méprendra sans doute pas sur la nature du sentiment capable de me faire surmonter la timidité, qui rend toujours si répugnante à une femme toute apparition devant le public, fût-ce dans le rôle le plus secondaire. ». Le texte intégral est présenté avec un index. Chacun des chapitres est illustré. Un Dictionnaire d'explication des principaux mots "difficiles" du texte est également intégré ( glossaire ). Il est possible de lire ou d'écouter les textes, chacun des chapitres offre une musique ou une ambiance sonore d'introduction.

Marx & Engels

Biographies & Memoirs

A biography of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels by Che Guevara, revealing Che’s fervent interest in studying their lives and writing.Che Guevara wrote this biographical introduction to Marx and Engels after his 1965 mission to Africa. He studied the writing of the German revolutionaries intensively, and in his travels he immersed himself in the classic works of Marxism. He sought to draw lessons and inspiration from Marx and Engels, and noted: “The Cuban Revolution takes up Marx at the point where he put aside science to pick up his revolutionary rifle.” Many of Che’s comments about Marx might also refer to Che himself, such as his observation: “Such a humane man whose capacity for affection extended to all those suffering throughout the world, offering a message of committed struggle and indomitable optimism, has been distorted by history and turned into a stone idol.” With his tremendous grasp of theory and his own practical experience, Che observes Marx’s evolution through his own view of radical change in Cuba, considering how it might apply to other countries after they achieve their definitive liberation from colonialism.
