Messengers [Bok / Inbunden]

<p>Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough. In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran toward his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they had in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother&rsquo;s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world. To make her mother known. This extraordinary book is written in both Lisa Marie&rsquo;s and Riley&rsquo;s voices, a mother and daughter communicating&mdash;from this world to the one beyond&mdash;as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other&mdash;the last words of the only child of an American icon.</p>

<p>Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today. </p><p>But Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Rickman's writing details the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid. He takes us behind the scenes on films and plays ranging from Sense &amp; Sensibility, the Harry Potter series, Private Lives, My Name is Rachel Corrie and many more. </p><p>The diaries run from 1993 to his death in 2016 and offer insight into both a public and private life. Here is Rickman the consummate professional actor, but also the friend, the traveller, the fan, the director, the enthusiast: in short, the real Alan Rickman. Here is a life fully lived, all detailed in intimate and characteristically plain-spoken prose. Reading the diaries is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close friend. Madly, Deeply also includes a foreword by Emma Thompson and a selection of Rickman's early diaries, dating from 1974 to 1982, when his acting life first began.<br/></p>

Limiterad utgåva med en Shakers 7" vinyl singel innehållande låtarna "Day tripper" / "I don't need that kind of loving".<br/><br/>Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, Hendrix, Dusty och Tages - 60-talets musikexplosion i Göteborg sedd genom Hans Sidéns kamera.<br/><br/>Han satt så nära John Lennon att han hade kunnat röra vid hans fötter om han lutat sig fram när Beatles spelade på Lorensbergs Cirkus i oktober 1963. Han tjatade med Rolling Stones i ett rum på Park Avenue Hotell, gick på diskoteket Hvita Dufvan med The Who och åt middag med The Troggs. Han liftade med Tages till Stockholm och Hep Stars till Borås, bjöd hem Cat Stevens på hemmagjord pizza, lånade ut travar med Stax- och Tamla Motown-singlar till Clem Dalton som var importerad dj på Lisebergs Pop In Club och hängde på vartenda soundcheck när stjärnorna kom till stan. Journalisten och författaren Hans Sidén befann sig ständigt på första parkett under 60-talet när musikscenen exploderade i Göteborg. Hans fotografier är ett vibrerande vittnesmål om ett lika avlägset som förunderligt närvarande decennium. The Boy in the Paisley Shirt är hans historia sedd genom kameran.
