The Steps
A gritty, inspiring, heart-wrenching memoir by the Academy Award-winning legend and icon Sylvester Stallone, about his unlikely path to stardom and the creation of the greatest underdog story ever told.
In the fifty years since Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, he and those steps have become symbols of resilience and determination, and have inspired millions from all over the world to pursue their dreams. In The Steps, Stallone recounts how he pursued his own dreams. A culmination of decades of reflection, Sly shares where he came from - a difficult birth, an even more difficult childhood, years of struggle in school being misunderstood - and he explains how the real story of a successful life is built by facing, embracing and ultimately overcoming our challenges. It's found in the distances we are willing to go and the steps we must take to get from where we are to where we want to go.
In a narrative framed between Stallone's arrival in New York City in 1969 and the triumph of Rocky at the 1977 Academy Awards, Sly weaves a vivid and propulsive portrait of struggle, subsistence and ultimately success. He writes of his early days and later years, too, and the persistence, creativity and resilience that led not only to the creation of Rocky but to a career filled with remarkably iconic roles. The Steps is a testament to Stallone's extraordinary life and a profound meditation on the importance of vision and willpower and hard work.

Pop Scars
*THE HEARTBREAKING, FUNNY AND SHOCKINGLY HONEST MEMOIR FROM ANTHONY KAVANAGH, AKA 90S POP STAR AND HEARTTHROB, KAVANA*
'My name is Anthony, but some people know me as Kavana or Kav. I've been called a pop star, a has-been, a heartthrob and a mess. I've been all of them. I once thought fame would give me everything I wanted. Wrong wish. This is my story about life as a 90s pop star, a lost decade in Hollywood, addiction, homelessness, and what it's like being an outsider, desperately trying to get back into a world that's moved on without you. But when things fall apart, it doesn't always mean it's the end. Sometimes it can be the making of you, just not the version you expected.'
Pop Scars is a story told with fearless honesty that's as funny as it is heartbreaking, chronicling the highs, the lows and the chaos of hitting rock bottom and then finding out that rock bottom has a basement.
Blow by Blow
A contender for the G.O.A.T. - the greatest of all time - Jeff Beck left an indelible mark on rock history. His sudden loss in 2023 prompted an outpouring of grief and respect from his peers that only underlined his place in the pantheon of legendary guitar slingers.
Not many could have filled the shoes of Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, but for Beck it only marked the beginning of a trailblazing career that defied expectation and labels. From the wedding pop of Hi Ho Silver Lining through the ground-breaking proto-metal of the Jeff Beck Group, and from the landmark jazz rock recorded of the mid-seventies to the cutting-edge electronica of the 21st century Beck never stood still. Across it all, as he seemed to deliberately swerve the straitjacket of megastardom, his genius as an instrumentalist remained constant.
In Blow by Blow, Brad Tolinski and Chris Gill provide fresh insight and understanding into life of one of rock's most enigmatic heroes. Drawing on nearly thirty hours of interviews with Beck himself, numerous conversations with those closest to him, and extensive new research, they shed light on the man and musician Jimmy Page once said had "shifted the whole sound and face of electric guitar music."
Príbeh skupiny ABBA: Skrytá melanchólia
Fenomén skupiny ABBA nemá v dejinách hudby obdobu. Legendárnej švédskej popovej formácii dodnes pribúdajú poslucháči a jej hity si ľudia spievajú a tancujú na ne už viac ako polstoročie od ich vzniku. Uznávaný švédsky hudobný publicista Jan Gradvall získal v roku 2013 exkluzívny prístup k členom skupiny, s ktorými mal aj dovtedy blízky novinársky vzťah. Následne ich zhruba desať rokov spovedal, výsledkom čoho je táto kniha. Agnetha, Björn, Benny a Anni-Frid sa v nej delia o svoje osobné príbehy, myšlienky i názory na vlastnú hudbu, a to otvorenejšie než kedykoľvek predtým.
Gradvall ozrejmuje, ako úspech skupiny formovali okrem melodickej brilantnosti aj ambície či emocionálna rozorvanosť jej členov. Zároveň dôkladne približuje kontext, v akom vznikol jedinečný zvuk Abby. Podáva tak aj príbeh o Švédsku i globalizácii popkultúry.
Čitatelia sa dozvedia aj mnohé zaujímavosti, napríklad ako Abbu ovplyvnil fenomén švédskej tanečnej hudby dansband či ako sa miestna daňová legislatíva odzrkadlila na vzhľade jej kostýmov.

Karol Machata. Herec v zrkadle dejín
Monografia Karola Mišovica Karol Machata. Herec v zrkadle dejín, je publikácia približujúca umelecké aj životné osudy jedného z najvýznamnejších slovenských hercov 20. storočia. Autor na základe dobových prameňov, spomienok pamätníkov, audiovizuálnych materiálov i vlastných hypotéz približuje výnimočnosť a špecifickosť hercovej osobnosti, no vyhýba sa nekritickej adorácii. Kniha nie je kompilátom zákulisných príhod a dejepisných skratiek, ale odborným pohľadom snažiacim sa objasniť fakt, prečo bol Karol Machata už za života považovaný za legendu slovenského herectva. Publikácia sa pritom nesústreďuje výhradne na kariéru jedného herca a analýzu konkrétnych, dnes už ikonických výkonov, ale snaží sa Machatovo herectvo vnímať cez širšie spoločensko-politické a estetické súvislosti. Usiluje sa podať plastické svedectvo o vývoji slovenského divadla, filmu a rozhlasu od konca štyridsiatych rokov až po záver posledného desaťročia minulého milénia, a to práve cez herecký profil Karola Machatu.
Mr Moonlight
The definitive biography of Brian Epstein - the man who made the Beatles - by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman.
Brian Epstein didn't just manage the Beatles - he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them 'bigger than Elvis', changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them 'the Boys', guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them.
Brian's achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain's image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour - and scarcely any thanks.
Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian's many trials and tribulations - how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love.
At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles' story.

The Beautiful Death of Ozzy Osbourne
Pioneering metal writer Keith Kahn-Harris presents a moving, visionary exploration of Ozzy Osbourne, and of metal music and culture: the potent legacy Ozzy left us.
What is a ‘good death’?
How about this: After years of terrible health, you gather friends and admirers for one last, glorious party. A couple of weeks later, you slip away, surrounded by your loving family. Then, the world comes to mourn. That is how Birmingham’s favourite son, Ozzy Osbourne, died.
By his death in June 2025 – at an age few believed he’d reach – Ozzy was much-loved, far beyond the metal world. Once a feared, demonic figure to some (and a joke to others), his Back to the Beginning farewell concert at Villa Park raised millions for charity.
In concise, arresting chapters moving from Death to Life via Art, Politics, Sex, Bodies, Voice, Family, Myth and more, Kahn-Harris explores how Ozzy – of all people! – attracted such generosity of spirit. The answer, he finds, is deeply embedded within the story and culture of metal – and has lessons for us all.
Last Rites
People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy.
Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere.
At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world.
Then disaster.
In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.
Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister.
Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.
Arnold
He's a four-time Mr. Universe, seven-time Mr. Olympia. His films have grossed more than four billion dollars worldwide. He won the California governor's race by a landslide. He has one of the most recognizable faces in the world, an oft-imitated accent, and a physique still heralded as the most perfect ever built. He's Arnold, the one and only, with first name recognition worldwide, and now with a big brawny bio affordable by all.The original Collector's Edition was a decade in the making, a photo tribute covering 70+ years of Schwarzenegger, from the future Terminator's impoverished childhood in Thal, Austria, to his rise as a young athlete, his journey to America to become the most celebrated bodybuilder of all time, to his career as the world's leading action film star, then into the California governor's mansion and beyond.Along the journey, Arnold's muscular body, chiseled features, and charismatic personality made him a favorite subject of photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Sante D'Orazio, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol. This new edition, like the original, includes them all, as well as more intimate bodybuilding images, behind-the-scenes film stills, dozens of photos from Arnold's personal archive, and exclusive interviews with Arnold and those who helped him to fame, including directors Ivan Reitman and Bob Rafelson, and bodybuilding legends Franco Columbu, Dave Draper, and Frank Zane.
The Make-Believe
From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality.
In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.
From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
S láskou Freddie
Skutočný príbeh Freddieho Mercuryho
Málo ľudí vedelo, že Freddie Mercury si viedol denník, no iba štyria z jeho najbližšieho okolia vedia, čo sa s ním stalo. V roku 2021 jedna z Mercuryho blízkych osôb oslovila autorku Lesley-Ann Jones a ponúkla jej kompletný, neobmedzený prístup k najintímnejším spovediam umelca, šokujúce tajomstvá zo spevákovho detstva a jeho najhlbšie obavy v sedemnástich ručne písaných zošitoch. Kniha S láskou Freddie sa ponára do spevákových osobných odhalení a vytvárala príbeh, ktorý prevráti všetko, čo sme si mysleli, že o Freddiem Mercurym a jeho odkaze vieme.
Z anglického originálu Love, Freddie (Lesley-Ann Jones, in partnership with Whitefox Publishing Ltd, 2025) preložila Martina Fedorová.

Žvýkačka Niny Simone
Ellisova kniha je neobvyklou literární poctou legendární jazzové zpěvačce a pianistce Nině Simone. Světoznámý hudebník v ní vypráví příběh zdánlivě bezvýznamného předmětu – žvýkačky, kterou Simone během koncertu v roce 1999 odložila na klavír a kterou si autor později odnesl domů jako suvenýr. Tento zvláštní moment se postupně stává výchozím bodem pro osobní, někdy humornou a jindy dojemnou reflexi o fanouškovství, paměti a síle hudby. Ellis sleduje, jak může zdánlivě bezvýznamný drobný artefakt nést otisk mimořádné osobnosti a stát se symbolem inspirace. Kniha tak není jen kuriózní historkou, ale také meditací o vztahu mezi umělcem a jeho publikem, o tom, jak vzniká úcta k hudebním ikonám a jak může umění zasahovat do lidského života. Autorův vypravěčský styl je osobní, hravý a plný nadšení pro hudbu, která dokáže překračovat čas i každodennost.
Kniha pro každého vnímavého hudebního fanouška, nejen pro milovníky Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds!
This Is Me: A Reckoning
Heroes and Nashville star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.
Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like Remember the Titans, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in Heroes, Nashville (which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."
Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.
In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.
In This Is Me: A Reckoning Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.
