The Godfather: The Lost Years - Mark Winegardner - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Brought to you by Penguin. ''The bloody victory of the Corleone Family was not complete,'' begins the final chapter of Mario Puzo''s The Godfather , ''until a year of delicate manoeuvring established Michael Corleone as the most powerful Family chief in the United States.'' The Godfather: The Lost Years takes place in the years 1955-65, but it is built upon the story of that ''year of delicate political manoeuvring'' - and how, in winning the battle of that year, Michael Corleone set the stage to lose the war: the war to make the Family legitimate, the war to keep the Corleones supremely in power, the war to stay true to his father''s wishes, the war to give not just his Family but his family a safe and happy life. The Godfather: The Lost Years is not just a sequel. A magnificent novel in its own right, by an acclaimed young American novelist, it traces the nexus of ambitious, audacious decisions that Michael Corleone implements, their ultimate failure, and, after the Family''s literal and figurative years in the wilderness (of Las Vegas), Michael''s literal, physical return to New York, and his attempts to regain control there.© Mark Winegardner 2004 (P) Penguin Audio 2005

The Republic of Imagination - Azar Nafisi - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

From the author of the bestselling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran comes a powerful and passionate case for the vital role of fiction today. Ten years ago, Azar Nafisi electrified readers with her million-copy bestseller, Reading Lolita in Tehran , which told the story of how, against the backdrop of morality squads and executions, she taught The Great Gatsby and other classics to her eager students in Iran. In this exhilarating follow-up, Nafisi has written the book her fans have been waiting for: an impassioned, beguiling and utterly original tribute to the vital importance of fiction in a democratic society. Taking her cue from a challenge thrown to her at a reading, she energetically responds to those who say fiction has nothing to teach us today. Blending memoir and polemic with close readings of her favourite novels, she invites us to join her as citizens of her ''Republic of Imagination'', a country where the villains are conformity, and orthodoxy and the only passport to entry is a free mind and a willingness to dream.

Brideshead Abbreviated - John Crace - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

And those who find all such works a little highbrow will be relieved to discover, between the covers of this book, John Crace''s take on the likes of Ian Fleming, P. G. Wodehouse and the Highway Code .Witty and sharp, this is essential reading both for those who genuinely love literature and for those who merely want to appear ridiculously well read.

Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down - Robert Sellers - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Alan Bates, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney, Richard Harris, Peter O''Toole, Robert Shaw and Terence Stamp: They are the most formidable acting generation ever to tread the boards or stare into a camera, whose anti-establishment attitude changed the cultural landscape of Britain.This was a new breed, many culled from the working class industrial towns of Britain, and nothing like them has been seen before or since. Their raw earthy brilliance brought realism to a whole range of groundbreaking theatre from John Osborne''s Look Back in Anger to Joan Littlewood and Harold Pinter and the creation of the National Theatre. And they ripped apart the staid, middle-class British film industry with kitchen-sink classics like Saturday Night and Sunday Morning , This Sporting Life , The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, A Kind of Loving and Billy Liar before turning their sights on international stardom: Connery with James Bond, O''Toole as Lawrence of Arabia, Finney with Tom Jones and Caine in Zulu . Don''t Let the Bastards Grind You Down brings alive the trail-blazing period of theatre and film from 1956-1964 through the vibrant energy and exploits of this revolutionary generation of stars who bulldozed over austerity Britain and paved the way for the swinging 60s. What Peter Biskind''s Easy Riders Raging Bulls did for American cinema writing so Don''t Let the Bastards will do for the British cinema.

The Devil's Doctor - Philip Ball - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Philip Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim - known to later ages as Paracelsus - stands on the borderline between medieval and modern; a name that is familiar but a man who has been hard to perceive or understand. Contemporary of Luther, enemy of established medicine, scourge of the universities (''at all the German schools you cannot learn as much as at the Frankfurt Fair''), army surgeon and alchemist, myths about him - from his treating diseases from beyond the grave in mid-nineteenth century Salzburg to his Faustian bargain with the devil to regain his youth - have been far more lasting than his actual story. Even during his lifetime, he was rumoured to travel with a magical white horse and to store the elixir of life in the pommel of his sword.But who was Paracelsus and what did he really believe and practice? Although Paracelsus has been seen as both a charlatan and as a founder of modern science, Philip Ball''s book reveals a more richly complex man - who used his eyes and ears to learn from nature how to heal, and who wrote influential books on medicine, surgery, alchemy and theology while living a drunken, combative, vagabond life. Above all, Ball reveals a man who was a product of his time - an age of great change in which the church was divided and the classics were rediscovered - and whose bringing together of the seemingly diverse disciplines of alchemy and biology signalled the beginning of the age of rationalism.

The Liberator - Alex Kershaw - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

_______________________ The true story behind the hit NETFLIX drama From the invasion of Italy to the gates of Dachau, no World War II infantry unit in Europe saw more action or endured worse than the one commanded by Felix Sparks.The US Army 157th regiment, known as the Thunderbirds, drew many of its men from more than fifty different Native American tribes, mixed in with Mexican-Americans and men more used to herding cattle in the American southwest. Felix Sparks, tasked with leading the diverse regiment regarded by generals as one of the US''s finest fighting forces, was a maverick officer, and the only man to survive his company''s wartime odyssey from bitter beginning to victorious end.Here, his remarkable true story is told for the first time, along with those of the men who bravely fought alongside him. _______________________ ''Exceptional.... The Liberator balances evocative prose with attention to detail and is a worthy addition to vibrant classics of small-unit history like Stephen Ambrose''s Band of Brothers '' Wall Street Journal ''A revealing portrait of a man who led by example and suffered a deep emotional wound with the loss of each soldier under his command ... The Liberator is a worthwhile and fast-paced examination of a dedicated officer navigating - and somehow surviving - World War II.'' Washington Post ''A history of the American war experience in miniature, from the hard-charging enthusiasm of the initial landings to the clear-eyed horror of the liberation of the concentration camps.'' The Daily Beast ''Kershaw has ensured that individuals and entire battles that might have been lost to history, or overshadowed by more ''important'' people and events, have their own place in the vast, protean tale of World War II ... Where Kershaw succeeds, and where The Liberator is at its most riveting and satisfying, is in its delineation of Felix Sparks as a good man that other men would follow into Hell - and in its unblinking, matter-of-fact description, in battle after battle, of just how gruesome, terrifying and dehumanizing that Hell could be.''
