Peter Henniker-Heaton was a classics scholar, a spiritual thinker, a civil servant, a Punch magazine humorist, a member of astronautical societies, a student of Christian Science who experienced a complete healing of paralysis, and an Englishman who lived in America. He embraced all his identities. He wrote about these things for decades in his poetry and other writings. The smallest things, as well as the largest, seemed to amuse and astonish and delight him.

Don Paterson is one of our most acclaimed contemporary poets, possessed of "an infinite sensitivity to the world" (Zadie Smith). But his current standing gives few hints of his hilariously misspent youth. An indifferent student prone to obsessions (with girls at school and . . . origami), Paterson nevertheless made clear early on his immense gift for observation. In Toy Fights, he vividly re-creates the customs of the Scottish working class, from the titular childhood game ("basically twenty minutes of extreme violence without pretext") to the virtues of the sugary sweet known as tablet.

Burl is the story of one man’s unlikely rise from the coal mines of Appalachia to the pinnacle of journalism. After being diagnosed with a fatal kidney disease as a child, Burl Osborne pioneered home dialysis treatment and became the 130th person to undergo a live kidney transplant in 1966—then an unproven, high-risk operation. While managing his challenging illness, Burl distinguished himself early as a writer and reporter with The Associated Press, eventually rising to the top of the wire service’s executive ranks.

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Lewis M. Simons recollects his fifty years as a foreign correspondent, one whose powerful stories contributed to transforming Asia from Vietnam War-era basket case to a global boomtown that today rivals the United States. Simons's investigative work led to the toppling of a dictator in the Philippines. He covered the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, bloody coups in Thailand, attempted genocide and societal collapse in Cambodia, and economic advance, decline, and rebirth in Japan.

„Pamiętnik orchidei. Pożegnania” to książka niezwykła w dorobku Zygmunta Kałużyńskiego. Ten bezkompromisowy krytyk filmowy i kontrowersyjny publicysta, nazywający sam siebie „ocalonym z wieku XX”, zdecydował się na podsumowanie własnego życia i zarazem całego stulecia, na które ono w większości przypadło.

V roce 1979 se Daňa Horáková stala třetí, poslední, manželkou režiséra a scénáristy Pavla Juráčka (1935–1989). Ve stejném roce byli vzhledem ke svým politickým postojům nuceni se v rámci akce Státní bezpečnosti „Asanace“ vystěhovat do Západního Německa. Autorka v knize popisuje jejich seznámení, svatbu a následný společný život nejprve v Čechách a později v Německu bez příkras, a byť i jen malé trošky autocenzury. Poznáváme tu patologický vztah dvou intelektuálů, kteří nemohli žít spolu, ale ani bez sebe. Vyprávění stejně spalující jako příběh Viktorky a Černého myslivce.

Dean Yates was the ideal warzone correspondent: courageous, compassionate, dedicated. After years of facing the worst, though, including the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami, one final incident undid him. In July 2007, two of his staff members were brutally gunned down by an American helicopter in Iraq. What followed was an unravelling of everything Dean thought he knew of himself. His PTSD was compounded by his moral wound - the devastation of what he thought he knew of the world and his own character and beliefs.

In June 1798, President John Adams signed the now infamous Alien & Sedition Acts to suppress political dissent. Facing imminent personal risks, a gutsy Kentucky newspaper editor ran the first editorial denouncing the law's attempt to stifle the freedom of the press. Almost immediately, government lawyers recommended his arrest and prosecution.

Autobiografie česko-německé novinářky a spisovatelky popisuje nesmírně vzrušující životní příběh vzdělané ženy. Její pokora nedovoluje o sobě hovořit v superlativech. Naopak. Její celoživotní snaha podávat pouze pravdu, ideálně ověřenou z několika na sebe nezávislých zdrojů, je cítit i v textu nejosobnějším, jejích vzpomínkách. Poznáváme život dívky dospívající na jihu Čech, která přes zastávku na studiích v Praze nakonec kvůli okupaci zakotvila na více než třicet let v Německu jako novinářka Rádia Svobodná Evropa.

16 Jahre, so lange wie kein anderer, hat Kai Diekmann als Chefredakteur der BILD bestimmt, worüber Deutschland spricht – jetzt spricht er erstmals selbst und gewährt exklusive Einblicke hinter die Kulissen von Europas größter Boulevardzeitung.

Die Radio-Legende und Stimme des ESC: Seit Jahrzehnten prägt Peter Urban die deutsche Radiolandschaft - als legendär trockener Kommentator des Eurovision Song Contests, als Moderator verschiedener Musiksendungen, inzwischen auch als Podcaster. Offen und unprätentiös beobachtet er seit fast 50 Jahren als Popexperte die nationale und internationale Musikszene und hat in seiner langen Laufbahn unzählige Popgrößen getroffen, interviewt und porträtiert - von Keith Richards über Yoko Ono zu David Bowie, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Harry Belafonte und Eric Clapton.

Politicamente controverso, anarchico e conservatore al tempo stesso, accusato di essere fascista dagli uni e comunista dagli altri, sempre controcorrente, sempre fuori dagli schemi: Indro Montanelli è stato, ed è ancora oggi, una figura decisiva e divisiva.

In the decades between the Great Depression and the advent of cable television, when daily newspapers set the conversational agenda in the United States, the best reporter in the business was a rumpled, hard-drinking figure named Homer Bigart. Despite two Pulitzers and a host of other prizes, he quickly faded from public view after retirement. Few today know the extent to which he was esteemed by his peers. Get the Damn Story is the first comprehensive biography to encompass all of Bigart's journalism, including both his war reporting and coverage of domestic events.

'Money is handy for doing messages' was a phrase the young Tommie Gorman heard from his father, growing up in Sligo in the 1960s. Struggle was never far away but their household had a surplus of love and warmth. From modest beginnings as a local reporter at the Western Journal, where his deadlines were dependent on the bus schedule, Tommie landed at RTÉ, taking up the post of North-West correspondent in 1980. Over the next four decades he became a familiar presence in Irish homes, known for his coverage of Europe and Northern Ireland.

The legendary sports journalist writes about the team that changed his life: the Morton High School Lady Potters basketball team. Dave Kindred has covered dozens of Super Bowls and written about stars like Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan. But a high-school girls basketball...

Niemand im deutschen Fernsehen ist so verspottet und beschimpft worden wie Markus Lanz. Spätestens nach dem Ende von 'Wetten, dass ..?' schien der Moderator erledigt, 'einer wie er dürfte eigentlich nie eine Talkshow moderieren', schrieb die Frankfurter Rundschau noch 2019. Wenige Jahre später hat Markus Lanz aus seiner Talkshow eine der wichtigsten politischen Bühne des Landes gemacht, ohne ihn wäre Karl Lauterbach wahrscheinlich nie Bundesgesundheitsminister geworden.

Irish author Bram Stoker is considered one of the masters of Gothic horror, in large part due to his creation of one of modern culture’s most enduring villains, Count Dracula. Making a life first in civil service and then in the theater, Stoker drew upon his personal experiences, his deepest fears, and the larger-than-life people in his inner circle to create his timeless masterpiece, cementing his own immortality in the process.
