Автор иронической киноповести «Корень „Suomi“» – известный кинорежиссёр, народный артист РСФСР, лауреат Государственной премии Игорь Масленников просит читателя не искать какие-нибудь параллели и не пытаться сравнивать фантастические события на этих страницах и рисунках с нашей реальной жизнью. Он предлагает задуматься над судьбой России и народов, её населяющих, оценить её прошлое и культуру, познакомиться с иными историческими фактами, сказками, мифами и легендами, заглянуть в наше будущее.

Выход книги приурочен к юбилею Александра Градского. Масштабы «родителя русского рок-н-ролла» трудно переоценить, о чем бы ни шла речь: наставник, композитор, личность. Подтверждение тому можно найти в беседах и интервью, собранных в этом издании. Андрей Макаревич, Евгений Евтушенко, Александр Буйнов, Евгений Маргулис и другие, не менее известные нам персонажи, поведают о случаях, пересечениях, курьезах, о нем. А Градский, в свою очередь, о других, с присущей ему искрометностью.

A unique, moving and dazzlingly researched exploration of the places, people, musicians, writers and filmmakers that inspired David Jones to become David Bowie, what we can learn from his life’s work and journey, and why he will always matter. When David Bowie died on 10th January 2016, it seemed the whole world was united in mourning. His greatest hits were sung tearfully in pubs up and down Britain, garlands of flowers were left at the Aladdin Sane mural in his old stomping ground of Brixton and tributes poured in from a galaxy of stars. To many of us, Bowie was so much more than a pop idol. But why? In Why Bowie Matters, Professor Will Brooker answers that question persuasively, as both a fan and an academic. A Bowie obsessive since childhood, he hit the headlines over the course of a year-long immersive research project that took him from London to Berlin and New York, following in Bowie’s footsteps, only listening to music and reading books he loved, and even at times adopting his fashion. In this original and illuminating book, Professor Brooker approaches Bowie from various angles, re-tracing his childhood on the streets of Bromley, taking us through his record collection and bookshelves, and deciphering the symbols and codes of his final work, Blackstar to piece together how an ordinary suburban teenager turned himself into a legend, and how perhaps we too could be a little more Bowie. He shows us that while David Robert Jones died on that terrible day in January, David Bowie will live on forever.

‘A gorgeous will they/won’t they love story, with depth and surprising twists’ Sun ‘A proper winter heart-warmer’ Heat ‘If you’re a fan of Jojo Moyes, you’ll love Emma Heatherington’s beautifully written – and also not predictable – Christmas novel’ Yahoo’s Top Books for October A stunning Christmas romance for fans of One Winter Morning.

Readers love Rewrite the Stars…! ‘Romantic, cosy and a book that can be read cover to cover in one day because you just can’t put it down’ Yahoo ‘I really enjoyed 'One Day in December' by Josie Silver, so when I read that fans of that book would enjoy this one I already had plenty of expectations in my head… this book absolutely smashed through all those expectations and I love it even more’ Amy A ‘Would have read it in one go if I didn’t have to go to work!’ Carla ‘A definite WOW book’ Sue, Netgalley ‘I absolutely loved this book and was so gutted it had to come to an end’ Shirleyann ‘Absolutely adored this book.

‘I was saying things in songs that female singers didn’t really say back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up, yet I was very serious. ’ BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK DEBBIE HARRY is a musician, actor, activist and the iconic face of New York City cool. As the front-woman of Blondie, she and the band forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’s impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life – until now. In an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals that includes never-before-seen photographs, bespoke illustrations and fan art installations, Face It upends the standard music memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit, grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It recreates the downtown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Following her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s break-up as a band to her multifaceted acting career in more than thirty films, a stunning solo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacy for the environment and LGBTQ rights, Face It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path, and set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps – a memoir as dynamic as its subject.

A fascinating insight into the golden-age of 1970s and 80s rock and roll told through the eyes of music legend Bernie Marsden and, most notably, his role in establishing one of the world’s most famous rock bands of all time – Whitesnake. ‘Bernie Marsden is a musical treasure…I don't think people know ALL he has done and just how much he was a part of the early British rock scene to present day. It's all in here. READ THIS BOOK!’ Steve Lukather, Toto Touring with AC/DC. Befriending The Beatles. Writing one of the world’s most iconic rock songs. This is the story of a young boy from a small town who dreamt of one day playing the guitar for a living – and ended up a rock n’ roll legend. It follows Bernie Marsden’s astonishing career in the industry – from tours in Cold War Germany and Franco’s Spain, to meeting and befriending George Harrison and touring Europe with AC/DC. It’s a story of hard graft, of life on the road, of meeting and playing with your heroes, of writing iconic rock songs – most notably the multi-million selling hit ‘Here I Go Again’ – and of being in one of the biggest rock bands of all time. At age 30, Bernie left Whitesnake due to serious conflict with his management, something he explores in this memoir for the very first time. Packed with stories and encounters with the likes of Ringo Starr, Elton John, Cozy Powell, Ozzy Osborne, B. B. King and Jon Lord, this is not just a remarkable look into the highs and lows of being a true music legend, but an intimate account of the revolutionary impact rock and roll music has offered to the world.

'A compelling new book' Daily Express Intimate and revealing, Spice Girls is the definitive story of the world’s most iconic girl group. Through compelling new research and interviews, Sunday Times best-selling biographer Sean Smith reveals what life was really like for five fiercely independent and ambitious young women who were propelled to international fame in the 90s with unstoppable momentum. Quickly establishing themselves as the biggest success in British pop music since The Beatles, they were adored and admired in equal measure: the Spice Girls made a connection with millions of young women across the globe who were inspired by their enthusiasm for life and their famous Girl Power philosophy. The fab five became one of the most successful music acts in history, with more than 85 million record sales world-wide and nine UK number one singles. Throughout the years, their lives have garnered unprecedented levels of media interest and fans have keenly followed their ups and downs – the personal conflicts, celebrity break-ups, controversies and parenthood. One thing’s for sure: they are never boring. In 2019, the prospect of their reunion tour has led to an outpouring of adoration and excitement, proving that the Spice Girls truly are an enduring cultural phenomenon.

Сборник статей о тайнах Великих египетских пирамид, а также о меридиане Пирамид и векторе Сфинкса. Примерно с 2004 года вектор Сфинкса вновь вошёл на территорию России. Но наша столица по-прежнему не на меридиане Пирамид, и мы видим, что морок ХХ века у нас продолжается… Вектор Сфинкса дойдёт до Северного полярного круга примерно в 2173 году. Далее советую прочитать мою брошюру "Апокалипсис 2008-2173".

Супермен, Бэтмен, Чудо-Женщина, Железный Человек, Люди Икс – кто ж их не знает? Супергерои давно и прочно поселились на кино- и телеэкране, в наших видеоиграх и в наших грезах. Но что именно они пытаются нам сказать? Грант Моррисон, один из классиков современного графического романа («Бэтмен: Лечебница Аркхем», «НАС3», «Все звезды. Супермен»), видит в супергероях мощные архетипы, при помощи которых человек сам себе объясняет, что было с нами в прошлом, и что предстоит в будущем, и что это вообще такое – быть человеком. Историю жанра Моррисон знает как никто другой, причем изнутри; рассказывая ее с неослабной страстью, от азов до новейших киновоплощений, он предлагает нам первое глубокое исследование великого современного мифа – мифа о супергерое.

Многие используют слово «культовый» в повседневном языке. Чаще всего этот термин можно встретить, когда речь идет о кинематографе. Однако далеко не всегда это понятие употребляется в соответствии с его правильным значением. Впрочем, о правильном значении понятия «культовый кинематограф» говорить трудно, и на самом деле очень сложно дать однозначный ответ на вопрос, что такое культовые фильмы. В этой книге предпринимается попытка ответить на вопрос, что же такое культовое кино – когда и как оно зародилось, как развивалось, каким было, каким стало и сохранилось ли вообще. И если сохранилось, то как о нем следует говорить сегодня.

«Прежде всего я должен ограничить свою задачу. Тема моя – Пускаться в общие рассуждения о театре далекого прошлого и отдаленного будущего у меня нет охоты. Еще недавно бедная, русская литература обогащается очень ценными вкладами в эту область. Правда, у нас еще нет истории театра, и даже история русского театра не доведена до конца. „История“ П. О. Морозова кончается восшествием на престол императрицы Елисаветы Петровны, то есть совсем первобытными временами русского театра, история XIX века не написана, если не считать труда Божерянова, который, по-видимому, не выйдет полностью в свет…»
