Story
Not That I'm Bitter, her powerful, frank, moving, and characteristically funny memoir, reveals exactly how choppy the waters could be. Even in those ground-breaking, anti-Thatcher days, there was only room at top for so many women.

Story
Io sono Marilyn, sembra dire ogni parola di questo racconto struggente fatto di bellezza extraterrestre e sprecata, di amore infinito e sfinito, della donna più bella mai esistita, della donna più triste mai vissuta. Marilyn è un viaggio tra le lenzuola profumate di un’anima fragile in un corpo da bomba atomica. Marilyn icona, Marilyn desiderata dagli uomini di potere perché ambita e inarrivabile, Marilyn amante e mai moglie, Marilyn puttana e santa, Marilyn sopravvissuta a sua madre. Marilyn, la vita come un sogno a occhi aperti.

Story
В этой книге собраны дневники Станислава Иосифовича и обращенные к нему письма. Режиссер открывается в них искренне и доверительно: именно таким он стремился появиться перед своим зрителем. В воспоминаниях Станислава Ростоцкого показана история целого поколения, родившегося в революционную эпоху, прошедшего войну и уходящего в постперестроечную эпоху. Он считал, что важнейший талант человека – дар чувствовать чужую боль как свою. И это нашло отражение в его фильмах.

Story
After victory in World War II, Britain was a relieved but also a profoundly traumatized country. Simon Winder, born into this nation of uncertain identity, fell in love (as many before and since) with the man created as the antidote, a quintessentially British figure of great cultural significance: James Bond. Written with passion, wit and a great deal of personal insight and affection, this book is his wildly amusing attempt to get to grips with Bond’s legacy and the difficult decades in which it really mattered.

Story
A Really Strange and Wonderful Time features a representative cross-section of what was being created in and around Chapel Hill between 1989 and 1999. In addition to the aforementioned indie bands, it documents―through firsthand accounts―other local notables like Ben Folds Five, Dillon Fence, Flat Duo Jets, Small, Southern Culture on the Skids, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Veldt, and Whiskeytown. At the same time, it describes the nurturing infrastructure which engendered and encouraged this marvelous diversity. In essence, A Really Strange and Wonderful Time is proof of the genius of community.
