【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】The Importance of Being Famous Behind the Scenes of the Celebrity Industrial Complex【電子書籍】[ Maureen Orth ]
<p><strong>Vanity Fair's veteran special correspondent pulls back the curtain on the world of celebrity and those who live and die there</strong><br /> <em>Vanity Fair's</em> Maureen Orth always makes news. From Hollywood to murder trials to the corridors of politics, this National Magazine Award winner covers lives led in public, on camera, in the headlines. Here she takes us close-up into the world of fame--bridging entertainment, politics, and news--and the lives of those who understand the chemistry, the very DNA, of fame and how to create it, manipulate it, sustain it. Moving from former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to Michael Jackson, the ultimate child/monster of show business, Orth describes our evolution from a society where talent attracted attention to a place where the star-making machinery of the "celebrity-industrial complex" shapes, reshapes, and sells its gods (and monsters) to the public.<br /> From divas letting their hair down (Tina Turner) to Little Gods (Woody Allen and Princess Diana's almost father-in-law Mohammed Fayed), political theater (Arnold's Hollywood hubris, Arianna Huffington's guru-guided gubernatorial quest), news-gone-soap-opera ( <em>I Love Laci</em>), and even the Queen Mother of reinvention (Madonna as dominatrix/children's-book author), Orth delivers a portrait of an era. <em>The Importance of Being Famous</em> shows us the real world of the big room where the rules that govern mere mortals don't matter--and anonymity is a crime.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Radical leaders of the 1960s and '70s come to vivid life in this volume of revealing profiles from two veteran journalists.</strong><br /> The political landscape of the 1960s and 1970s was one of the most tumultuous in this country's history, shaped by the struggle for civil rights, women's liberation, Black power, and ending the Vietnam War. In many ways, this second American revolution sought to fulfill the betrayed promises of the firstーextending the full protections of the Bill of Rights to America's marginalized populations.<br /> Based on exclusive interviews, original documents, and archival research, <em>By the Light of Burning Dreams</em> explores critical moments in the lives of iconoclastic leaders of the twentieth century radical movement: Bobby Seale of the Black Panthers; Heather Booth and the Jane Collective, the first underground feminist abortion clinic; Vietnam War peace activists Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda; Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta and the United Farm Workers; Craig Rodwell and the Gay Pride movement; Dennis Banks, Madonna Thunder Hawk, Russell Means and the warriors of Wounded Knee; and John Lennon and Yoko Ono's politics of stardom.<br /> <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author David Talbot and <em>New Yorker</em> journalist Margaret Talbot reveal the epiphanies that galvanized these modern revolutionaries. Examining what they got right, as well as what they got wrong, this book celebrates their lasting impact on the country.<br /> <em>By the Light of Burning Dreams</em> includes a sixteen-page black-and-white photo insert.<br /> <strong>Winner of the Northern California Book Award for General Nonfiction</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>A headstrong young soprano must solve a murder to save her friend</strong><br /> The Metropolitan Opera has no time for illness. So when its principal baritone succumbs to a head cold on the eve of <em>Carmen</em>, house diva Geraldine Farrar doesn't hesitate to recommend a replacement: the hungry young American Jimmy Freeman. He's raw, talented, and desperately in love with herーsomething she doesn't mind at all.

But who poisoned his spray? While everyone in the company loathed Duchon, Freeman and Farrar are the obvious suspects. To clear their names, the thoroughly modern prima donna who brought flapper-style to the Metropolitan stage will kick up her heels and get to work.<br /> <em>Prima Donna at Large</em> is the 2nd book in the Opera Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>"During my life, I've spent thousands of hours and thousands of dollars on my hair, my makeup, and my clothes, trying to look prettier because I grew up believing that pretty girls had happier lives."<br /> "I'd be a lot happier now if I had that time and that money back."<br /> Ilene Beckerman has lived long enough to have finally learned that there's more to happiness than finding the right hairdo and maintaining an ideal weight. This is never more clear than when she's invited to her fiftieth elementary-school reunion.<br /> "Of course I'd go to the reunion." Beckerman says. But delight soon turns to dismay: "I wondered who'd be there. How would they look? Would I look as good? What would I wear? Could I lose twenty pounds by June?" Her reunion presents the perfect occasion to illustrate the anxieties and doubts, the dreams and hard-earned triumphs, of womenーfrom Queen Victoria to Britney Spears.<br /> Beckerman knows what really matters in life (besides good hair), and she imparts her wisdom in letters (unsent) to Madonna, Ava Gardner, Sofia Coppola, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others, and to her granddaughter Olivia. Frida Kahlo, Cinderella, <em>Whistler's Mother</em>, and Audrey Hepburn make appearances too. In this wise and wonderful book, she shares a lifetime of experience that reminds us that, ultimately, our mothers (and our grandmothers) were right: real beauty comes from within.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>As 9-11 shakes the <em>Doonesbury</em> world, many of its denizens are drawn inexorably toward Ground Zero--Mike to attend a memorial service for a former employer; B.D., reactivated for crowd control and celebrity tourism; Marcia Feinbloom to hit on firefighters; and Zonker to deliver potent fruitcakes to weary rescue workers. Those on the home front are no less affected by events: "I no longer care what Madonna had for breakfast," laments Boopsie, proof positive that Everything Has Changed.</p> <p>Half a world away, in Al-Qaeda Qountry, a burka-clad Roland Hedley is captured by a freelance warlord, then wounded by a can of Spam during a massive friendly food drop. Feyzabad Station Chief Havoc's effort to rescue the downed journalist speaks well for the new, improved CIA, which has somehow managed to parlay its "massive" intelligence failures into cult status on the nation's campuses. How else to explain Jeff Redfern's new internship with "Acme Imports"--and his sudden affinity for shaken-not-stirred libations?</p> <p>Meanwhile, former inside trader Phil Slackmeyer watches from his deathbed as the effort to smoke out evildoers expands to include the entire management team of Enron. Prominent among them is "Jimmy Jack Jumbo" Andrews, head of over 400 Caymans-based businesses, who calls his old friend to ask the question on many an ex-exec's mind: "What's prison like?" And back at the White House pressroom, NPR attack-dog Mark has questions of his own, like, "What time will you be launching the cover-up?" and "Will there be a lunch?" Yes, excavating Enron's smoking crater will be a long and dirty job--even if the president barely knows "Mr. Lay," the disgraced CEO with whom he exchanged 350 letters. As Dubya assures us, "I did not have political relations with that man."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Soon and Very Soon The Transformative Music and Ministry of Andra? Crouch【電子書籍】[ Robert F. Darden ]
<p><strong>The first biography of arguably the most influential gospel artist of the 20th century, brought to life through interviews with his collaborators, friends, and family</strong> Gospel singer and seven-time Grammy winner Andra? Crouch (1942-2015) hardly needs introduction. His compositions-"The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power," "Through It All," "Jesus is the Answer," "Soon and Very Soon," and others-set the gold standard for gospel music and remain staples in modern hymnals today. He is often spoken of in the same "genius" pantheon as Mahalia Jackson, Thomas Dorsey, and the Rev. James Cleveland and was lauded as "the foremost gospel singer of his generation" by former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama upon his death in 2015. <em>In Soon and Very Soon,</em> authors Robert Darden and Stephen Newby celebrate the countless ways that Crouch indelibly changed the course of gospel and popular music. Not least among them was Crouch's progressive pursuit to address the sociopolitical issues of his time, including AIDS, prejudice, abuse, housing insecurity, and addiction. With his twin sister Sandra, Crouch served as minister of the church their father founded and ministered to individuals experiencing these issues despite ongoing criticism from some church members. Crouch's group "The Disciples" were the first bi-racial musical ensemble in gospel music and performed in a range of venues from mega-churches to Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall, in addition to network television programs ranging from Soul Train to <em>The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson to Saturday Night Live.</em> In doing so, Crouch and his Disciples introduced jazz, funk, classical, calypso, Latin and other musical elements into gospel. By the peak of his career, Crouch's influence was so pervasive that he recorded, performed with, and composed for some of the most powerful names in popular music, including Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Quincy Jones, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder, and Madonna. To illuminate the vivid world in which Crouch lived, Darden and Newby include interviews with surviving musicians, collaborators, friends, and family members, complete with musical analysis of Crouch's compositions and lyrics. As a major intervention in gospel and popular music studies, <em>Soon and Very Soon</em> tells the fascinating and dynamic story of one of the true giants in American popular music.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める!】Tales from the Irish Club A Collection of Short Stories【電子書籍】[ Goran ]
<p><em>Tales from the Irish Club</em> contains 11 wry accounts of an enclave of Irish Americans in Pittsburgh during and after World War II. In this first collection of short stories by Lester Goran are the often comic, sometimes tragic tales of Jack Lanahan, the transcendental artist who carves nothing but wooden roosters; Long Conall O’Brien, haunted by the ghosts of prostitutes he has known world-wide; Mrs. Pauline Conlon, famous as the woman who outlives three husbandsーuntil she meets Sailor Kiernan; and the night an image of the Madonna appears on the wall of Local No. 9 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.</p> <p>Ranging from the grimly realistic to the fantastic, Goran’s stories examine lives so unheralded that only the Irish Club, Forbes Fieldーwhere the Pirates break their hearts, and St. Agnes Churchーwhere they attend school and prepare for eternityーknow their joys and sorrows.</p> <p><em>“Tales from the Irish Club</em> presents a group of stories so well imagined that one can hardly tell them apart from life…They are meant to overheard, not heard, as if the reader were a child at a wedding eavesdropping on someone’s loquacious, slightly drunken aunt…I abandoned the Hibernian world of Lester Goran’s Pittsburgh with a sense of loss. Closing his book felt like driving away from my own boyhood city after a large Thanksgiving dinner, with improbable stories still echoing in my head. <em>Tales from the Irish Club</em> is a memorable work.”<strong>ー<em>New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Western Helden ? Die neue Reihe f?r echte Western-Fans! Harte M?nner, wilde Landschaften und erbarmungslose Duelle ? hier entscheidet Mut ?ber Leben und Tod. Ob Revolverhelden, Gesetzlose oder einsame Reiter auf der Suche nach Gerechtigkeit ? jede Geschichte steckt voller Spannung, Abenteuer und wilder Freiheit. Erlebe die ungesch?nte Wahrheit ?ber den Wilden Westen Ward Shene verga? die vier ausgesuchten Fleischrinder und Lucco, den Vaquero, der sie mit ihm nach Fort Bliss getrieben hatte. Shene hielt seine Grullastute zwischen den Baracken des Forts an und blickte ?ber den Paradeplatz. Der Mann am westlichen Ende des Platzes fiel ganz langsam und lautlos um. Die Waffe schlug in den sohlentiefen Staub. Der Hut stie? gegen das Gewehr und fiel vom Kopf des Mannes. Er blieb so liegen, dass Shene m?helos die gekreuzten Kanonenrohre des Hutemblemes erkennen konnte. ≫Por dios!≪, stie? Lucco verst?rt hervor. ≫Porca Madonna, was haben sie getan, Boss?≪ Sie ? er sprach in der Mehrzahl, und Shene betrachtete nun die anderen beiden M?nner, die bereits am Boden lagen. Sie waren alle auf das Gesicht gefallen und lagen in derselben Haltung wie jener Mister, der nun den Boden k?sste. Die Sonne musste sie fertiggemacht haben. Drei Mann standen noch, jedoch schwankte der ganz links au?en wie ein Schilfrohr im Wind. Er konnte sein Gewehr nicht l?nger pr?sentieren. Die Waffe sank herab. ≫Pillow ? pr?sentieren!≪, fauchte jemand aus dem Schatten des ?berstehenden Daches. ≫Nimmst du den Schie?pr?gel wohl hoch, du nachgemachter Mensch?≪ Das Muhen der weitertrottenden vier Fleischrinder lenkte Shene einen Moment ab. ≫Lucco≪</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
