The extraordinary life of Cher can be told by only one person … Cher herself. After more than seventy years of fighting to live her life on her own terms, Cher finally reveals her true story in intimate detail, in a two-part memoir. Her remarkable career is unique and unparalleled. The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades, she is the winner of an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Cannes Film Festival Award, and an inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who has been lauded by the Kennedy Center. She is a longtime activist and philanthropist. As a dyslexic child who dreamed of becoming famous, Cher was raised in often-chaotic circumstances, surrounded by singers, actors and a mother who inspired her in spite of their difficult relationship. With her trademark honesty and humour, Cher: The Memoir traces how this diamond in the rough succeeded with no plan and little confidence to become the trailblazing superstar the world has been unable to ignore for more than half a century. Cher: The Memoir, Part One follows her extraordinary beginnings through childhood to meeting and marrying Sonny Bono – and reveals the highly complicated relationship that made them world-famous, but eventually drove them apart. Cher: The Memoir reveals the daughter, the sister, the wife, the lover, the mother and the superstar. It is a life too immense for only one book.

Nina a Simon jsou dokonalý pár. Mladí, veselí a zamilovaní. Dokud neodjedou na víkend na chatu Simonových rodičů ve Vermontu a domů se nevrátí jen Simon. CO SE STALO NINĚ? To nikdo neví. Simonovo vysvětlení je podivné. Rodiče Niny naléhají na policii, aby ji hledali, zatímco Simonovi rodiče se snaží svého syna chránit. Najmou si drahé právníky a PR firmu, která rychle rozjede štvavou mediální kampaň, v níž nic není tabu. KAM AŽ ZAJDE SIMONOVA RODINA, ABY HO OCHRÁNILA? Během krátké doby se fakta vytratí ve víru vzájemných obvinění. Každý si vybere svou stranu a příběh se stane virálním, živen konspiračními teoriemi. Do malého vermontského městečka se sjíždějí novináři a s nimi i několik posedlých „fanoušků“. ČEHO VŠEHO JE SCHOPNA RODINA NINY, ABY SE DOPÁTRALA PRAVDY? Rodiče Niny jsou v obležení novinářů, ale nikdy neztrácí ze zřetele to jediné, na čem skutečně záleží – najít svou dceru. Brzy si však uvědomí, že hrát podle pravidel proti Simonově rodině je nikam neposune… takže je načase pravidla porušit!

Now, get the inside track on this generation's biggest super star - Taylor Swift. An intimate look at the life and music of modern pop's most legendary figure, Taylor Swift, from leading music journalist Rob Sheffield. A cultural phenomenon. A worldwide obsession. An agent of emotional chaos. There's no parallel to Taylor Swift in history: a teenage girl who turns into the world's favorite pop star, songwriter, storyteller, guitar hero, live performer, changing how music is made and heard. An all-time great on the level of The Beatles, Prince, or David Bowie. Heartbreak Is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music is the first book that goes deep on the musical and cultural impact of Taylor Swift. Nobody can tell the story like Rob Sheffield, the bestselling and award-winning author of Dreaming the Beatles, On Bowie, and Love Is a Mix Tape.

Sheffield gets right to the heart of Swift and her music, her lyrics, her fan connection, her raw power. At once one of the most beloved music figures of the past two decades and one of the most criticized, Taylor Swift is known as much for her life beyond her music as she is for her hits-the most public of stars, yet also the weirdest and most mysterious. In the tradition of Sheffield's Dreaming the Beatles, Heartbreak Is the National Anthem will inform and delight a legion of fans who hang on every word from Taylor and every word Rob writes on her.
