Iveta Bartošová: Neměla jsem se narodit - Jediná zpověď, 2. vydání
„Neměla jsem se narodit,“ říká Iveta Bartošová o dni, kdy nikým nečekaná spatřila jako jednovaječné dvojče své očekávané sestry světlo tohoto světa. Jako by ji právě tento zvláštní příchod na svět poznamenal na celý život. Jako by neustále měla pocit, že je něčím navíc, nechtěná, ne plně hodnotná, o něco ošizená, přehlížená, že vadí, že o její život někdo usiluje, že ustavičně musí o svoji existenci do úmoru bojovat, že… Snad proto se v jejím profesionálním i soukromém životě tak rychle střídají prudké vzestupy a hluboké pády provázené až sebezničujícími pokusy.
Kniha, jíž dal název Ivetin základní životní pocit, vznikla na základě její nutkavé potřeby o sobě „všechno vypovědět až do konce“, protože „potom se mi možná konečně uleví, nemohu tu tíhu pořád nosit v sobě“. Rozhovor s reportérkou Blesku Michaelou Remešovou, vedený na pokračování na chalupě v Jižních Čechách na břehu Vltavy, je tedy první Ivetinou opravdu upřímnou zpovědí. Podává o ní obrázek v celém jejím dosavadním vývoji. Nic nezkresluje a nic netají. Říká všechno spontánně sama za sebe. I když občas příliš nerozlišuje mezi skutečností a svými představami o ní. Až úplně „do konce“, jak chtěla, svůj příběh krásné nešťastné princezny sice nedopovídala, neboť její život zase nabral své zběsilé obrátky, ale jako kočka, obdařená devíti životy, se ze všech svých problémů opět spolehlivě vylíže, jak věří autorka knihy. Knihy, která je de facto jediným dlouhým, vzrušujícím rozhovorem.
Madly, Deeply
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2022, ENTERTAINMENT MAIL ON SUNDAYS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022
Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today. But Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Rickman's writing details the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid. He takes us behind the scenes on films and plays ranging from Sense & Sensibility, the Harry Potter series, Private Lives, My Name Is Rachel Corrie and many more.
The diaries run from 1993 to his death in 2016 and offer insight into both a public and private life. Here is Rickman the consummate professional actor, but also the friend, the traveller, the fan, the director, the enthusiast: in short, the real Alan Rickman. Here is a life fully lived, all detailed in intimate and characteristically plain-spoken prose. Reading the diaries is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close friend. Madly, Deeply also includes a foreword by Emma Thompson and a selection of Rickman's early diaries, dating from 1974 to 1982, when his acting life first began.

Beyond the Wand
They called for a break, and Gambon magicked up a cigarette from out of his beard. He and I were often to be found outside the stage that housed the Astronomy Tower, having 'a breath of fresh air' as we referred to it. There would be painters and plasterers and chippies and sparks, and among them all would be me and Dumbledore having a crafty cigarette.
From Borrower to wizard, Tom Felton's childhood was anything but ordinary. His early rise to fame saw him catapulted into the limelight aged just twelve when he landed the iconic role of Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films.
Speaking with candour and his own trademark humour, Tom shares his experience of growing up on screen and as part of the wizarding world for the very first time. He tells all about his big break, what filming was really like and the lasting friendships he made during ten years with the franchise, as well as the highs and lows of fame and the reality of navigating adult life after filming finished.
Prepare to meet a real-life wizard.
Greenlights
From the Academy Award®-winning actor, an unconventional memoir filled with raucous stories, outlaw wisdom, and lessons learned the hard way about living with greater satisfaction.
I've been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.
Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters, some great photographs, and a whole bunch of bumper stickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time, and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life's challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call 'catching greenlights.'
So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote this book: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts, and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops.
Hopefully, it's medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot's license, going to church without having to be born again, and laughing through the tears.
It's a love letter. To life.
It's also a guide to catching more greenlights-and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.
Good luck.
We Could Be
David Bowie's story has never been told quite like this.
Tracing the star's encounters with fellow icons throughout his life, We Could Be offers a new history of Bowie, collecting 300 short stories that together paint a portrait of humour, humility, compassion, tragedy, and more besides.
He teaches Michael Jackson the moonwalk. He embarrasses himself in front of Lennon and Warhol. He saves the life of Nina Simone. He also taught John McEnroe to play 'Rebel Rebel'; had run-ins with Lou Reed, Axel Rose, and Liam Gallagher, and had his feet measured by Freddie Mercury at their first meeting. Individually astonishing, together these stories - including details never before revealed - build a new picture of Bowie, one which shows his vulnerability, his sense of humour, his inner diva.
Exhaustively researched from thousands of sources by BBC reporter and Bowie obsessive Tom Hagler - with the guidance and memories of Bowie's long-time producer Tony Visconti - We Could Be is fascinating, comic, compelling, and a history of Bowie unlike any that has come before.
Dávno, 2. vydání
„Hudba je pro mne náplň života, jediné, co mě opravdu baví, je muzika“ říká Petr Janda, legenda české rockové scény, zpěvák, hudebník, skladatel a frontman kapely Olympic, skupiny, která na našem rockovém hudebním nebi září již 60 let a má za sebou více než 7000 koncertů. Původně doprovodná kapela zpěváků se v roce 1963 osamostatnila a nahrála svůj první hit Dej mi víc své lásky. A tím to všechno začalo… Ačkoliv osobu Petra Jandy nelze oddělit od jeho profese, ve své biografii nám odhaluje především své soukromí, poznáváme ho jako obyčejného člověka, jenž vzpomíná na své krásné dětství, rodiče i svoji vlastní rodinu, na hezké i tragické chvíle, zkrátka na vše, co mu život v průběhu času dal i vzal.

Joe, Sav, Rick, Phil a Viv vyprávějí, vzpomínka na stevea Clarka, archivní fotografie, hodnocení fanoušků
Příběh skupiny Def Leppard by nevymyslel nejodvážnější hollywoodský scénárista. Muzikanti původem ze zapadlých uliček severoanglického Sheffieldu raketově vystoupali na pozice amerických rockových superhrdinů (což jim řada britských kritiků dlouho neodpustila). Po velkolepém úspěchu alba Pyromania, následovala ještě úspěšnější Hysteria, současně se kapela dokázala statečně vyrovnat s řadou osudových ran, ať šlo o tragickou smrt kytaristy Stevea Clarka nebo autonehodu, v níž bubeník Rick Allen přišel o ruku.
V polovině 90. let přišel komerční útlum vyvolaný změnou na hudební scéně. Def Leppard, ukutí z pevné sheffieldské oceli, však z této zkoušky nakonec vyšli silnější než dřív. Na přelomu tisíciletí se opět naplno vrátili na výsluní a svou pozici na rockovém trůnu úspěšně hájí dodnes. Nesmrtelné hity jako Photograph, Animal, Pour Some Sugar on Me nebo Let’s Get Rocked zůstávají pevně vepsány do DNA všech pravověrných rockerů. Jiné kapely možná dosáhly příznivějšího kritického ohlasu, na straně Def Leppard však zůstává hlas lidu.
Why Sinead O'Connor Matters
A stirring defense of Sinéad O’Connor’s music and activism, and an indictment of the culture that cancelled her.
In 1990, Sinéad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. For many people—including, for years, the author—what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about Sinéad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down.
Addressing triumph and struggle, sound and story, Why Sinéad O’Connor Matters argues that its subject has been repeatedly manipulated and misunderstood by a culture that is often hostile to women who speak their minds (in O’Connor’s case, by shaving her head, championing rappers, and tearing up a picture of the pope on live television). McCabe details O’Connor’s childhood abuse, her initial success, and the backlash against her radical politics without shying away from the difficult issues her career raises. She compares O’Connor to Madonna, another superstar who challenged the Catholic Church, and Prince, who wrote her biggest hit and allegedly assaulted her. A journalist herself, McCabe exposes how the media distorts not only how we see O’Connor but how we see ourselves, and she weighs the risks of telling a story that hits close to home.
In an era when popular understanding of mental health has improved and the public eagerly celebrates feminist struggles of the past, it can be easy to forget how O’Connor suffered for being herself. This is the book her admirers and defenders have been waiting for.
It Was All a Dream
Celebrated in hardcover, a deeply reported and richly textured biography of Christopher Wallace—now in paperback!
The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit record, the wealth and international superstardom that came with it, then an early violent death. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record, Life After Death.
Journalist Justin Tinsley’s It Was All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the legend. It is based on extensive interviews with those who knew and loved Biggie, including neighbors, friends, DJs, party promoters, and journalists. And it places Biggie’s life in context, both within the history of rap but also the wider cultural and political forces that shaped him, including Caribbean immigration, the Reagan era disinvestment in public education, street life, the war on drugs, mass incarceration, and the booming, creative, and influential 1990s music industry. This is the story of where Biggie came from, the forces that shaped him, and the legacy he has left behind.
Bee Gees
5/5 - CLASSIC POP
5/5 - RECORD COLLECTOR
4/5 - THE TELEGRAPH
4/5 - MOJO
Everyone has their favourite era of the Bee Gees' career, but so much is still unclear about this celebrated but often misunderstood band. This book will provide the perfect route in, pulling together every fascinating strand to tell the story of these pioneering, melancholic masters of pop.
Uniquely, the Bee Gees' tale spans the entire modern pop era - they are the only group to have scored British top-ten singles in the '60s, '70s, '80s and '90s - and includes world-conquering disco successes like 'Stayin' Alive' and 'More Than a Woman', both from the soundtrack of hit film Saturday Night Fever.
But the Bee Gees' extraordinary career was one of highs and lows. From a vicious but temporary split in 1969 to several unreleased albums, disastrous TV and film appearances, and a demoralising cabaret season, the group weren't always revelling in the glow of million-selling albums, private jets and UNICEF concerts. Yet, even in the Gibbs' darkest times, their music was rarely out of the charts, as sung by the likes of Al Green, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton and Diana Ross.
Award winning author Bob Stanley captures the human story at the heart of the Bee Gees in this lyrical and stylish read.
Freddie Mercury - Egy hang, egy élet, egy lélek
Ő a huszadik század rockzenéjének egyik legfontosabb egyénisége. Elképesztő hang, új utakat kereső zenei tehetség, átlagon felüli intelligencia, kivételes stílusérzék. Egy sztár, akit körbe rajongtak, de ő magányosnak érezte magát. Óvatos volt és vad, merész és diplomatikus, önálló, de alkalmazkodásra képes. Rejtőzködő volt és exhibicionista.
Ez a könyv elsősorban személyiségrajz. És persze életrajz is, no meg kalandtúra a Queen zenéjében.
A zseni mindig érdekes. Akkor is, ha rocksztár.

The Stone Age
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
The Lives of Brian
The son of a British army sergeant-major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life.
The choirboy and cub scout was going to be singer.
For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared on to Top of the Pops, toured Australia and yet the big time looked out of reach. Then he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's biggest rock acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed out arenas. Quickly embraced by the band's fans, the new boy had earned his spurs. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up.
It's been a rollercoaster of a life, throughout which Brian's kept his feet firmly on the ground, never losing touch with his roots.
Warm, vivid, evocative, life-affirming and often laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian tells the story of one of our most well-loved performers in his own inimitable voice

What if the things we keep hidden say more about us than those we put on display?
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
We all have a random collection of the things that made us - photos, tickets, clothes, souvenirs, stuffed in a box, packed in a suitcase, crammed into a drawer. When Jarvis Cocker starts clearing out his loft, he finds a jumble of objects that catalogue his story and ask him some awkward questions:
Who do you think you are?
Are clothes important?
Why are there so many pairs of broken glasses up here?
From a Gold Star polycotton shirt to a pack of Wrigley's Extra, from his teenage attempts to write songs to the Sexy Laughs Fantastic Dirty Joke Book, this is the hard evidence of Jarvis's unique life, Pulp, 20th century pop culture, the good times and the mistakes he'd rather forget.
This is not a life story. It's a loft story.
Managing Expectations
A dazzling 'tell-most' memoir: poignant and laugh-out-loud funny scenes from the life of actor Minnie Driver. Managing Expectations is a collection of delicately crafted, hilarious and heartfelt essays, described as a 'tell-most', in which Minnie Driver uses her formidable storytelling skills to examine and understand her less-than-ordinary life.
Suffused with warmth and humour, Minnie shares poignant, candid and honest stories of her unconventional childhood, the shock of fame, motherhood, love, success, failure, the power of sisterly love, and the loss of her beloved mother.In her own words, it's about how things not working out actually worked out in the end, and how reaching for the dream is easily more interesting, expansive, sad and funny than the dream itself coming true.
Supersonic
Oasis are one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. Here, in Supersonic, they tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.
With over thirty hours of interviews with Liam, Noel and those closest to them, this book documents in unprecedented depth and with their trademark candour and humour, the story behind one of the world's greatest bands, all told in their own words and fully illustrated with exclusive photographs and ephemera throughout.
