Lou Reed
Reedův životopis od Anthonyho DeCurtise vznikal až po Reedově smrti v roce 2013, má tedy oproti starším biografiím jednu velkou výhodu: možnost zachytit celý umělcův život až do smrti. Další nezpochybnitelnou výhodou je autorem přiznané dlouholeté přátelství s Lou Reedem.
DeCurtis ve své knize nabízí komplexní pohled na Lou Reeda. Představuje ho jako umělce, ale i jako člověka, a zároveň svým způsobem i jako symbol. Čtenář tak má výtečnou možnost seznámit se s Lou Reedem takovým, jakým skutečně byl. Anebo se tomu alespoň v maximální možné míře přiblížit.

William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll
William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his influence on music's counterculture has been less well documented-until now. Examining how one of America's most controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many notable and varied musicians, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll reveals the transformations in music history that can be traced to Burroughs.
A heroin addict and a gay man, Burroughs rose to notoriety outside the conventional literary world; his masterpiece, Naked Lunch, was banned on the grounds of obscenity, but its nonlinear structure was just as daring as its content. Casey Rae brings to life Burroughs's parallel rise to fame among daring musicians of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, when it became a rite of passage to hang out with the author or to experiment with his cut-up techniques for producing revolutionary lyrics (as the Beatles and Radiohead did). Whether they tell of him exploring the occult with David Bowie, providing Lou Reed with gritty depictions of street life, or counseling Patti Smith about coping with fame, the stories of Burroughs's backstage impact will transform the way you see America's cultural revolution-and the way you hear its music.

Wild Thing
Almost 50 years after his lonely death, Hendrix is the abiding symbol of musical genius cut tragically short. Wild Thing will be the first biography to bring together the splendour and sadness of his brief life, and to attempt to unravel the circumstances of his death.
Hendrix revolutionised classic rock, inventing a whole new vocabulary for the guitar. Onstage he pushed the boundaries of Sixties permissiveness, fellating the strings of the guitar with his tongue, lying it flat and straddling it, even setting fire to it. Yet in private he was polite, shy and sweet-natured. Norman will explore these contradictions in a narrative that takes us from Hendrix's roots in Seattle to his louche and glamorous life in Mayfair, when London was the world's most 'swinging' capital and then back to the US with the series of historic outdoor rock festivals that rounded out the decade.
Wild Thing will be a celebration of matchless artistry, and a gripping chronicle of those now mythical times. But it will also investigate the peculiar conditions of his death, part whodunnit as it tells the most cautionary of rock 'n' roll parables. After all these years of rumour and speculation, Jimi's ghost may finally be laid to rest.

Dan Horyna - Přežil jsem sám sebe
Unikátní vzpomínky legendárního zpěváka a uznávaného existenciálního psychoterapeuta.
Dan Horyna – rocková legenda osmdesátých let s neodmyslitelnou přezdívkou Zeppelin. Frontman metalové kapely Vitacit a Merlin. Ještě než z něj vyrostla rocková hvězda, patřil k talentovaným atletům. Byl mistr republiky na 1500 metrů, mířil na olympiádu, ale nakonec s atletikou skončil. Stále nebyl sám se sebou spokojený – chtěl víc.
V pouhých sedmnácti letech mu křídla přistřihl komunistický žalář, kde skončil kvůli improvizovanému vystoupení na Karlově mostě, které bylo vyhodnoceno jako provokace komunistického režimu. Horyna byl sice za dva měsíce propuštěn, ale v hledáčku policie už zůstal. Po návratu z vězení byl vyhozen ze školy a ztratil veškeré jistoty, které do té doby měl.
Postupně přičichl k drogám, které ho během dvanácti let několikrát dostaly na pokraj života a smrti. Charismatický zpěvák patřil k první pervitinové generaci v Česku. S drogovým démonem bojoval celkem třikrát a kvůli drogám se mu rozpadla tři manželství. Východisko z drogové závislosti našel až díky pobytu v léčebně Červený Dvůr, který mu pomohl v hledání smyslu života.
Dnes už přes deset let působí jako vyhledávaný terapeut, vyznává buddhismus a sám úspěšně pomáhá drogově i alkoholově závislým lidem.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
This new critical biography provides a complete picture of German novelist, playwright and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The book offers fresh, thought-provoking interpretations of all the major works, including novels such as The Sorrows of Young Werther and The Elective Affinities, plays such as Egmont and Iphigenia in Tauris, and Goethe's greatest work, Faust. Alongside these works the incidents of his life are analysed, including his love affairs and his meetings with the great people of the age, such as Napoleon Bonaparte.
Jeremy Adler shows how Goethe's encyclopedic interest in many fields influenced later thinkers such as Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim and Susan Sontag. Goethe has often been called the last Renaissance man. This biography shows that Goethe was in fact the first of the moderns - a maker of modernity.

David Bowies Diamond Dogs
After his breakthrough with Ziggy Stardust and before his U.S. pop hits "Fame" and "Golden Years" David Bowie produced a dark and difficult concept album set in a post-apocalyptic "Hunger City" populated by post-human "mutants." Diamond Dogs includes the great glam anthem "Rebel Rebel" and utterly unique songs that combine lush romantic piano and nearly operatic singing with scratching, grungy guitars, creepy, insidious noises, and dark, pessimistic lyrics that reflect the album's origins in a projected Broadway musical version of Orwell's 1984 and Bowie's formative encounter with William S. Burroughs.
In this book Glenn Hendler shows that each song on Diamond Dogs shifts the ground under you as you listen, not just by changing in musical style, but by being sung by a different "I" who directly addresses a different "you." Diamond Dogs is the product of a performer at the peak of his powers but uncomfortable with the rock star role he had constructed. All of the album's influences looked to Bowie like ways of escaping not just the Ziggy role, but also the constraints of race, gender, sexuality, and nationality. These are just some of the reasons many Bowie fans rate Diamond Dogs his richest and most important album of the 1970s.

Dmitry Shostakovich
Dmitry Shostakovich was one of the most successful composers of the twentieth century - a musician who adapted as no other to the unique pressures of his age. By turns vilified and feted by Stalin during the Great Purge, Shostakovich twice came close to the whirlwind of political repression and he remained under political surveillance all his life, despite the many privileges and awards heaped upon him in old age. Yet Shostakovich had a remarkable ability to work with, rather than against, prevailing ideological demands, and it was this quality that ensured both his survival and his posterity.
Pauline Fairclough's absorbing new biography offers a vivid portrait that goes well beyond the habitual cliches of repression and suffering. Featuring quotations from previously unpublished letters as well as rarely-seen photographs, Fairclough provides a fresh insight into the music and life of a composer whose legacy, above all, was to have written some of the greatest and most cherished music of the last century.

Jimmy Page - The Definitive Biography
Founder of one of the most influential and successful rock bands of all time, legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has nevertheless remained an enigma. In this definitive and comprehensive biography of his life so far, Chris Salewicz draws on his own interviews with Page and those closest around him to unravel the man behind the mystery.
Having sold over 300 million copies worldwide, Led Zeppelin was the biggest band of the '70s and has been loved by the legions ever since. From his own conversations with Jimmy, the rest of Led Zeppelin, old girlfriends, tour managers and session musicians to name but a few, Salewicz reveals the many trials and tribulations which transformed the middle class boy from the Surrey suburbs into one of rock's most enigmatic frontmen.
Detailed, thrilling and expertly researched, Salewicz discovers a man who was prepared to die for his art; who justified heroin use so he could harness its narcotic focus whilst making albums, and who overcame numerous death threats during this time. A warrior magician, Salewicz delves into the many skeletons and eccentricities in Page's closet, contextualising him against a background of London gangsters, deaths, and power struggles which Page has continued to rail against to this day, even within his own band.
As entertaining as it is insightful, and from a writer who experienced first-hand the Led Zeppelin furore, this promises to be as close to a Jimmy Page autobiography as fans can get.

Ladislav Mrkvička
Herec, který proslul svou zásadovostí, ale i prudkou a vzpurnou povahou, jež mu nejednou zkomplikovaly úspěšnou kariéru, takový byl i je Ladislav Mrkvička v očích svých diváků. Znají ho z mnoha filmových a televizních rolí, ale nebyl jen poručíkem Stejskalem, pobočníkem majora Zemana, nehrál jen žokeje, i když mu koně přirostli k srdci. Byl vynikajícím divadelním hercem, který svůj talent rozvinul naplno především v Divadle Na zábradlí pod vedením legendárního režiséra Evalda Schorma. I jeho menší role byly nezapomenutelné -, známe přeci dobře to staré úsloví, že není malých rolí, a právě na Ladislava Mrkvičku sedí přesně.
Přinášíme portrét umělce, který se nejednou dostal do konfliktu s establishmentem a riskoval konec kariéry - která ani nemusela začít, jak se ostatně dočtete. Sledujeme jeho kroky od studií až k Národnímu divadlu, působení v rozhlasu, televizní tvorbě pro děti a mládež nebo v úspěšných inscenacích na prknech menších pražských divadel. Trochu s humorem a nadhledem, tak jak si to ne právě snadná umělecká cesta tohoto „malého herce velkých rolí“ žádá.
