MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
The unauthorized, behind-the-scenes story of the most popular, lucrative, and transformative cultural phenomenon of our time: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. But what accounts for its stunning rise?
In MCU, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As they delve into the studio's key moments - from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney's acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige's embrace of streaming TV - the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full - and an essential, effervescent account of popular culture.
The Misunderstandings of Charity Brown
Inspired by award-winning author's Elizabeth Laird's own childhood growing up in post-war London, The Misunderstandings of Charity Brown is a classic coming-of-age story, perfect for fans of The Skylarks' War and I Capture the Castle.
Charity Brown's life is about to change - her family have been left a huge, rambling house by a mysterious benefactor, and her parents want to move in and throw open its doors to the needy. Only recently back from hospital after months of isolation with polio, Charity is over-protected and lonely as the only child still at home.Her family are very religious - her sisters are called Faith and Hope, and her brother Ted is studying to be a preacher - so she's both excited and nervous at the thought of sharing her family and new home with strangers. It's a recipe for confusion, joy and endless misunderstandings, including with the new neighbours, an Austrian family with a daughter just Charity's age.
The Soul of a Woman
The wise, warm, defiant new book from literary legend Isabel Allende – a meditation on power, feminism and what it means to be a woman
When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten, I am not exaggerating.
As a child, Isabel Allende watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the first wave of feminism. She has seen what has been accomplished by the movement in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one's sexuality.
So what do women want? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over their bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will 'light the torch of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.'
The Office
Színfalak mögötti pillantás a The Office / A hivatal sorozatra, a 21. század ikonikus tévéműsorára, az alkotók, a szerzők és a színészek saját szavaival.
Mikor lógtál utoljára Jimmel, Pammel, Dwighttal, Michaellel és a többi Dunder Mifflin-dolgozóval? Talán 2016-ban lehetett, amikor Magyarországon adásba került az utolsó évad fináléja. De az se kizárt, hogy tegnap este, amikor egymás után három epizódot ledaráltál. Az USA-ban 15 éve került a képernyőkre ez a sorozat (Magyarországon 2008-ban), de ma népszerűbb, mint valaha. A rajongóknak csak egy gondjuk van: mit nézzenek, mit olvassanak ezután.
Ez a kötet mindenről beszámol: az ötlet gyökerei a BBC-nél, a kilenc évadon át tartó sikertörténet az USA-ban, és mindehhez egy sor exkluzív interjú és aprólékos kutatás. A harcok az NBC-nél, amikor alig hat epizód után le akarták állítani a sorozatot. Az elvetélt próbálkozás, amikor James Gandolfinit akarták behozni új főnöknek Steve Carell távozása után.
Szívet melengető és felkavaró könyv, amely bemutatja a kulcsepizódok forgatásának körülményeit és azt, ahogyan óriási popkulturális ikon lett egy furcsa, bizarr, Angliából importált, kockázatos ötletből.
Andy Greene a Rolling Stone magazin újságírója, többek közt a Radioheadről, Howard Sternről, Steve Perryről, Stephen Kingről és még sokakról írt cikkeket.
„Amikor Andy Greene meginterjúvolt, életemben először hallottam valakinek a szájából, hogy tévésorozatban játszottam... Egészen addig azt hittem, papírgyárban dolgozom. Ezzel együtt imádtam a könyvet. Nagyon el lett kapva, tele van háttérsztorikkal, amikből megtudtam egy csomó mindent.” - Creed Bratton, színész
„Helyenként szívbemarkoló, máshol nevettető, végig nagyon izgalmas. Az Office-könyv igazi kincsestár, teli részletekkel. Ez sem hiányozhat a rajongói gyűjteményből a DVD-k és a kis műanyagfigurák mellől.” - Jennie Tan, az OfficeTally.com rajongói oldal alapítója
„Kötelező olvasmány. Hihetetlenül szórakoztató. Akik imádják ezt a sorozatot, nem fogják tudni letenni, mert Andy Greene bemutatja az egész folyamatot: az ötlettől a szereplőválogatáson keresztül az írószobáig, a színészek egyes jelenetekkel kapcsolatos kommentárjaiig. Annyi minden kiderül a Dunder Mifflin vállalatról, rengeteg mindent nem is tudtam – márpedig én játszottam a tulajdonost!” - Andy Buckley, színész (szerep szerint: David Wallace)
„Lenyűgöző színfalak mögötti pillantás az Office-ra. Éveken át ez a sorozat volt az otthonom, mégis ebből a könyv

Jude The Obscure
Hardy's masterpiece traces a poor stonemason's ill-fated romance with his free-spirited cousin. No Victorian institution is spared — marriage, religion, education — and the outrage following publication led the embittered author to renounce fiction. Modern critics hail this novel as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought.
