Brilliant, short-lived, incredibly prolific—Schubert is one of the most intriguing figures in music history. While his music attracts a wide audience, much of his private life remains shrouded in mystery, and significant portions of his work have been overlooked. In this major new biography, Lorraine Byrne Bodley takes a detailed look into Schubert's life, from his early years at the Stadtkonvikt to the harrowing battle with syphilis that led to his death at the age of thirty-one.

A las puertas del centenario, la biografía definitiva de B.B. King, considerado -y por muchos llamado- Rey (de reyes) del Blues. He aquí la más vibrante y completa semblanza del que fuera gran pionero y el último en partir de toda una generación de profetas del blues. Riley "Blues Boy" King (1925-2015), más conocido como B.B. King, nació en la más absoluta pobreza en el corazón del Misisipi afroamericano subyugado por la América de Jim Crow.

1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths.

Paolo Rossi si confessa. Ma rende la sua confessione a una divinità molto particolare: il dio dei ladri, il Bardo William Shakespeare. Tutti gli attori, i commedianti, i contastorie sono infatti ladri: di aneddoti e di idee, di verità e anche di menzogne. Per questo, la «versione di Paolo» è una storia rigorosamente apocrifa e anarchica, disseminata di occasioni e tentazioni, botte date e prese, donne amate e lasciate, poco venerati maestri e pessime compagnie di giro, ideologie e avventure di una sera o di una vita annaffiate da sobrie acque toniche corrette gin.

Mucho se ha dicho y escrito acerca de Violeta Parra. Pero,¿fue realmente esa campesina pobre del sur de Chile que llegó al estrellato universal contra viento y marea? ¿Por qué recién a los 35 años comienza a existir la Violeta que todos conocemos? ¿Cómo surgieron sus canciones de protesta que se adelantaron a su tiempo hasta volverse himnos globales? ¿En qué circunstancias compuso «El Gavilán»? ¿Por qué y cómo se suicidó en febrero de 1967?. Estas y muchas otras interrogantes se contestan en esta biografía escrita por Víctor Herrero.

Barry Diller has influenced every aspect of American culture for over sixty years. He changed how we watch TV, how movies are made, how we shop, how we consume media, and even how we date. Yet Diller’s private life and business insights have never been made public—until now.

Más cercano a Maquiavelo que a Dale Carnegie, este libro inteligente, que equipara la política del trabajo diario con la vida callejera, presenta enseñanzas útiles sobre cómo escapar de las expectativas de la sociedad y de los obstáculos que nuestros miedos nos siembran en el camino.

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.

For Jackey Neyman Jones (who played Debbie in Manos: The Hands of Fate), the “worst movie ever made” is, at its heart, a home movie that just happens to be shared with the world. Equal parts memoir/family saga/film book, Growing Up with Manos: The Hands of Fate shares the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Manos: from creator Hal Warren’s alleged bet with TV producer Stirling Silliphant that “anyone could make a movie”, to the tragic suicide of John Reynolds (Torgo), right up through the newest Manos-related projects that are carrying the film into the digital age.

Jason Byrne is 17. With his leaving cert under his belt but no idea what to do next, who better to ask for advice than his dad, Paddy? There’s a (very) short stint studying accountancy (he was asked to leave); a FÁS course with juvenile offenders to become a waiter that leads to an apprenticeship in Jury’s (he was the only one not in prison), and a job in a lighting warehouse (it ended with a collapsed lung). But no matter what the problem, Paddy Byrne is always ready with a wise word: ‘Sure, that’s life, son. Just don't tell your mother.’

The literary establishment tends to regard Bob Dylan as an intriguing, if baffling, outsider. That changed overnight when Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, challenging us to think of him as an integral part of our national and international literary heritage. No One to Meet places Dylan the artist within a long tradition of literary production and offers an innovative way of understanding his unique, and often controversial, methods of composition.

LOFTY: MY LIFE IN SHORT is a deeply personal memoir—of vulnerability and courage and humor.

As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn't quite fit. Who was he? A smart young man with the world's knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he didn't want? A gay man who couldn't quite come out? A man on a self-destruct mission? Amid life's chaos, it was general knowledge that kept Paul sane, even as he struggled into a new life as a stand-up comedian.

A testament to the importance of imagination, trusting oneself, and making space for your creativity, Did Everyone Have an Imaginary Friend (or Just Me)? is a memoir of a '90s kid who confided in his imaginary sidekick to navigate everything from parallel pop culture universes, like watching Fresh Prince alongside John Hughes movies or listening to Ja Rule and Dave Matthews, to a lifetime of birthday disappointment (being a Christmas season Capricorn will do that to you) and hoop dreams gone bad.
