Memoarer & Biografier

<b>Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley was never truly understood...until now. Before her death in 2023, she'd been working on a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir for years, recording countless hours of breathtakingly vulnerable tape, which has finally been put on the page by her daughter, Riley Keough.</b>

Vem var det som egentligen anlände först till platsen där Olof Palme lönnmördades den 28:e februari 1986? Den här frågan dväljas än idag i debatten då det aldrig har utretts eller klargjorts på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Det som anförts i ärendet håller inte, av flera skäl, för en kritisk granskning. Uppenbarligen existerar det avvikelser som omgående bör förtydligas.<br/><br/> I tidiga vittnesutsagor från nära vittnen återfinns en "yngling" varande bredvid den fallne personen. Den här "ynglingen" kom sedermera att utraderas i efterföljande förhör av anledningar som är okända.<br/><br/> Men år 2023 framträdde den här "ynglingen" och önskade framföra sina upplevelser. Han går under namnet Robert Barestrand och var 16 år gammal vid tiden för mordet år 1986.<br/><br/> Hans utsagor gällande de händelser han genomgick under tonåren kommer att anföras på ett obefläckat vis, skildrande hur Robert kom till insikten om vem som arrangerade och genomförde mordet, och i slutändan även varför. Robert erhöll i samband med allt även kännedom om vad som verkligen hände med M/S Estonia, fartyget som förliste på Östersjön den 28:e september 1994...<br/><br/> Det här en beskrivning av en tonårings resa och hur en ung kille blev djupt intrasslad i händelser som i modern tid utgör nationens mörkaste stunder...

Utan att förhäva mig över mina framgångar inom den fantastiskt<br/> roliga MC-sporten vill jag berätta roliga minnen.<br/> Allt från hur det började, tävlandet, mekandet, utvecklande av motorer, resor, kamrater och<br/> andra bekantskaper.

<b>An intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from the bestselling author of </b><i><b>Beautiful Boy</b></i><br/><br/> John Lennon once described Yoko Ono as the world's most famous unknown artist. 'Everybody knows her name, but no one knows what she does.' She has only been important to history insofar as she impacted Lennon. Throughout her life, Yoko has been a caricature, curiosity and often a villain - an inscrutable seductress, manipulating con artist and caterwauling fraud. The Lennon / Beatles saga is one of the greatest stories ever told, but Yoko's part has been missing - hidden in John's formidable shadow, further obscured by flagrant misogyny and racism. This definitive biography of Yoko Ono's life will change that. In this book, Yoko Ono takes centre stage. <br/><br/> Yoko's life, independent of Lennon, was an amazing journey. <i>Yoko</i> spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo, her refugee status during the war, and her arrival onto the avant-garde art scene in London, Tokyo and New York City. It delves into her groundbreaking art, music, feminism and activism. We see how she coped under the most intense, relentless and cynical microscope as she was saddled with the most heinous crime imaginable then: breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history. <br/><br/> We see Yoko Ono through her own eyes, from a vantage point we have never seen before. Drawing from Yoko's personal letters, journals, films and videos and unpublished manuscripts, as well as access to her surviving family, closest friends, past collaborators and enemies, David Sheff covers the 90 years of Yoko's rollercoaster life.<br/><br/><b><i>Yoko </i>is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. The book not only rehabilitates Yoko Ono's reputation but elevates it to iconic status.</b>

Being a total Dick is an entrance to unreality. The honest and uncensored wandering mind of Dick Stunbolt, a man of many talents and no fucks to give. A diary, but also the background stories that have become the inspiration for the lyrics on his debut album. If you've heard his songs and ever wondered what he actually meant, this is the key that unlocks, well, at least some doors.

Frank, funny and open-hearted, You Never Know is an intimate memoir from one of the most beloved actors of our time, the highly personal story of a remarkable life and thoroughly accidental career. In his own voice and uniquely unpretentious style, the famed actor brings readers on his uncharted but serendipitous journey to the top in Hollywood, his temptations and distractions, his misfires and mistakes and, over time, his well-earned success. Along the way, he clears up an armload of misconceptions and shares dozens of never-told stories from all corners of his personal and professional life. His rambunctious California childhood. His clueless arrival as a good-looking college jock in Hollywood (from the Dating Game to the Fox New Talent Program to co-starring with Mae West and escorting her to black-tie social functions). What it was like to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties and remain so for decades to come, an actor whose authenticity and ease in front of the camera connected with audiences worldwide while embodying and also redefining the clichés of onscreen manhood. In You Never Know, Selleck recounts his personal friendships with a vivid army of A-listers, everyone from Frank Sinatra to Carol Burnett to Sam Elliott, paying special tribute to his mentor James Garner of The Rockford Files, who believed, like Selleck, that TV protagonists are far more interesting when they have rough edges. He also more than tips his hat to the American western and the scruffy band of actors, directors and other ruffians who helped define that classic genre, where Selleck has repeatedly found a happy home. Magnum fans will be fascinated to learn how Selleck put his career on the line to make Thomas Magnum a more imperfect hero and explains why he walked away from a show that could easily have gone on for years longer. Hollywood is never easy, even for stars who make it look that way. In You Never Know, Selleck explains how he&apos;s struggled to balance his personal and professional lives, frequently adjusting his career to protect his family&apos;s privacy and normalcy. His journey offers a truly fresh perspective on a changing industry and a changing world. Beneath all the charm and talent and self-deprecating humor, Selleck&apos;s memoir reveals an American icon who has reached remarkable heights by always insisting on being himself.

När trygghet blir kaos och överlevnad allt som betyder något, hur hittar man tillbaka?<br/> Detta är min berättelse, min sanning. "När havet förändrade allt" är en gripande skildring om att överleva en av vår tids mest förödande naturkatastrofer, tsunamin i Indiska oceanen 2004.
