The Mammoth Book of Travel in Dangerous Places - John Keay - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Mammoth Book of Travel in Dangerous Places - John Keay - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The great explorers were the celebrities of their day - the romance and danger of their daring expeditions captured the public imagination and the world''s headlines to an extraordinary degree. Not all of them lived to tell the tale, of course, but those who emerged triumphant from jungle, desert or polar wasteland were hailed as if returning from beyond the grave. Journalists vied for their stories and publishers rushed their first-hand accounts of exciting and dangerous journeys into print for a wide and voracious readership. Acclaimed travel historian John Keay introduces this selection of the best of these first-hand narratives, including those of John Ross and John Franklin, writing about their experiences in the Arctic; Richard Burton''s account of his search for the source of the Nile; John Speke on Lake Victoria; David Livingstone and Henry Stanley''s adventures in central Africa; Alexander McKenzie''s first crossing of America and Meriwether Lewis''s encounter with the Shoshonee; Robert Peary and Roald Amundsen''s voyages to the poles; and the poignant last words of William Wills in Australia and Robert Scott''s In Extremis. Keay includes the experiences of four remarkable twentieth-century explorers: Hiram Bingham on the discovery of Machu Picchu; Wilfred Thesiger on Arabia''s Empty Quarter; Edmund Hillary on reaching the summit of Everest; and Harry St John Bridger Philby facing despair and defeat in the Arabian desert.

Heartburn - Nora Ephron - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, WITH A FOREWORD BY STANLEY TUCCI ''I have bought more copies of this book to give to people, in a frenzy of enthusiasm, than any other . . . Heartburn is the perfect, bittersweet, sobbingly funny, all-too-true confessional novel'' NIGELLA LAWSON ''I kept a copy of Nora Ephron''s Heartburn next to me as a reminder of how to be funny and truthful, and all I ended up doing was ignoring my writing and rereading Heartburn'' AMY POEHLER Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel discovers that her husband is in love with another woman. The fact that this woman has a ''neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb'' is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel is a cookery writer, and between trying to win Mark back and wishing him dead, she offers us some of her favourite recipes. Heartburn is a roller coaster of love, betrayal, loss and most satisfyingly revenge.This is Nora Ephron''s (screenwriter of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle ) roman a clef: ''I always thought during the pain of the marriage that one day it would make a funny book,'' she once said. And it is! ''It is snortingly funny in its depiction of the death throes of a relationship. And it bursts with recipes. What more could you ask for?'' ADAM KAY PART OF THE VIRAGO DESIGNER COLLECTION.

A SUNDAY TIMES POP BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY TELEGRAPH MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A DAILY MAIL MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR (''Of the many Led Zeppelin biographies marking the band''s 50th anniversary, this is the most illuminating'') OBSERVER BEST BOOKS OF 2018 ''An enthralling and rigorously researched book'' Sunday Times ''Blake has talked to everyone, and the stories are both lurid and melancholy'' Mail on Sunday ''A juicy saga of excess all areas, Mark Blake''s biography of Led Zeppelin''s notoriously combative manager, Peter Grant, reads at times like an all-you-can-eat buffet of guilty pleasures . . . a riotous roller coaster'' The Times ''A tale as expansive and complex as the man himself'' Mojo ''To say Bring It On Home is a rambunctious page-turner is an understatement; but despite all the violence and weirdness, you can''t help liking the "real" Peter Grant who emerges here'' Planet Rock The late Peter Grant managed Led Zeppelin to global stardom. But his life story was every bit as extraordinary and dramatic as the musicians he looked after. For the first time ever, the Grant family have allowed an author access to previously unseen correspondence and photographs to help build the most complete and revealing story yet of a man who was a pioneer of rock music management, but also a son, a husband and a father.Published to coincide with Led Zeppelin''s 50th anniversary, Bring It On Home charts Peter Grant''s rise from wartime poverty through his time as a nightclub doorman, wrestler and bit-part actor to the birth of rock''n''roll in the 1950s. From here, it explores his pivotal role in the formation of Led Zeppelin and charts the impossible highs and lows of life on the road with rock''s most outrageous band. Bring It On Home includes almost 100 new interviews with family members, friends, musicians and rival managers, and walk-on parts for Sharon Osbourne, Bob Dylan, Stanley Kubrick, Freddie Mercury, Elizabeth Taylor, the FBI, the CIA, the Mafia - and Elvis Presley. As Grant''s son Warren says now: ''My dad knew everyone.''It is the first biography to reveal the truth behind Led Zeppelin''s demise, Grant''s subsequent fall from grace amid death threats and the shadow of organised crime, and his final days as a man who shunned the excesses of the music industry in favour of his friends and family.With access to several previously unpublished interviews - including Grant''s last and most revealing yet - Bring It On Home sheds new light on the story of rock''s greatest manager and one of the giants of modern music history.
