Eric Clapton - Motherless Child - Biografie
Biografie Motherless Child vykresluje Erika Claptona jako jednoho z nejvlivnějších umělců své generace, živoucí hudební legendu a jednoho z nejlepších kytaristů všech dob. Obsahuje dosud nepublikované detaily z jeho komplikovaného, ale fascinujícího života posbírané od blízkých přátel a spolupracovníků. Kniha sleduje Claptonovu více než padesátiletou kariéru od začátků ve skupině Yardbirds, přes spolupráci s Johnem Mayallem, slávu superskupiny Cream, kapel Blind Faith a Derek and the Dominos až po sólovou kariéru. Clapton se vždy viděl jako osamělý hráč blues, muž s kytarou proti celému světu. Blues pro něj zůstávalo konstantou, jádrem, ze kterého vycházel. Právě on byl vyvolený pokračovat v tradici hudby starých bluesmanů z delty Mississippi. Paul Scott se zaměřuje také na Claptonův soukromý život, kde se jeho mimořádný talent prolínal s nepochopitelnou sebedestrukcí. Nikdy se netajil problémy s drogami a alkoholem, ani svým bohémským životem, který ho několikrát zavedl až na hranu smrti. Bez občasných osobních pádů by ale nikdy nemohl vystoupat na hudební olymp a získat si uznání milionů fanoušků po celém světě. Jeho příběh lze tedy také číst jako dlouhou, ale úspěšnou cestu ke střízlivosti, vykoupení a konečně i ke štěstí. Motherless Child doplněná fotografiemi je nezbytným kusem pro každého Claptonova fanouška.
Paul Scott je britský spisovatel a žurnalista. Píše pro Daily Mail a další deníky. Na kontě má úspěšnou biografii Robbieho Williamse. Je celoživotním fanouškem Erika Claptona.

The Story Of The Lost Child
Soon to be an HBO series, book four in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times) Here is the dazzling saga of two women, the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila. In this book, life's great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women's friendship, examined in its every detail over the course of four books, remains the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. But now, she has returned to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from Naples. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Yet somehow this proximity to a world she has always rejected only brings her role as unacknowledged leader of that world into relief. Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.

Invisible Child
Based on nearly a decade of reporting, Invisible Child follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child with an imagination as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn homeless shelter. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolise Brooklyn's gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani moves with her family from shelter to shelter, this story traces the passage of Dasani's ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north.
Dasani comes of age as New York City's homeless crisis is exploding. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani leads her seven siblings through a thicket of problems: hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system.
When, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love?
By turns heartbreaking and revelatory, provocative and inspiring, Invisible Child tells an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality.

The History of a Difficult Child
Selam is the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.
As Selam's mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.
The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice.
