Dandelion Wine
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Автор: Bradbury Ray
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2008
|
PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ
|
An endearing classic of childhood memories of an idyllic midwestern summer from the celebrated author of Farenheit 451. He stood at the open window in the dark, took a deep breath and exhaled. The street lights, like candles on a black cake, went out. He exhaled again and again and the stars began to vanish. Douglas smiled. He pointed a finger. There, and there. Now over here, and here... Yellow squares were cut in the dim morning earth as house lights winked slowly on. A sprinkle of windows came suddenly alight miles off in dawn country. Everyone yawn. Everyone up. In the backwaters of Illinois, Douglas Spaulding's grandfather makes an intoxicating brew from harvested dandelions. Dandelion Wine is a quirky, breathtaking coming-of-age story from one of science fiction's greatest writers. Distilling his experiences into Rites & Ceremonies and Discoveries & Revelations, the young Spaulding wistfully ponders over magical tennis shoes, and machines for every purpose from time travel to happiness and silent travel. Based upon Bradbury's own experiences growing up in Waukegan in the 1920s, Dandelion Wine is a heady mixture of fond memory, forgiveness, magic, the imagination and above all, of summers that seemed to go on forever.

Operation Fortitude: The Greatest Hoax of the Second World War
|
HarperCollins Publishers
|
Автор: Levine Joshua
Издательство: HarperCollins Publishers, 2005
|
PDF, 336 страниц, 10.08 МБ
|
Operation Fortitude was the ingenious web of deception spun by the Allies to mislead the Nazis as to how and where the D-Day landings were to be mounted. One of the most creative intelligence operations of all time — Kim Philby The story of how this web was woven is one of intrigue, personal drama, ground-breaking techniques, internal resistance, and good fortune. It is a tale of double agents, black radio broadcasts, phantom armies, Ultra decrypts, and dummy parachute drops. These diverse tactics were intended to come together to create a single narrative so compelling that it would convince Adolf Hitler of its authenticity. Operation Fortitude was intended to create the false impression that the Normandy landings were merely a feint to disguise a massive forthcoming invasion by this American force in the Pas de Calais. In other words, the success of D-Day — the beginning of the end of the Second World War — was made possible by the efforts of men and women who were not present on the Normandy beaches. Men such as Juan Pujol, a Spanish double-agent (code-name GARBO) who sent hundreds of wireless messages from London to Madrid in the build-up to D-Day relaying supposed intelligence from his fictitious spy network. This allowed the enemy to conclude that the number of Allied divisions preparing to invade was twice the actual number. Men such as R.V Jones, the head of British Scientific Intelligence, who masterminded the dropping of tinfoil confetti from the bomb-bay doors of Lancaster bombers, creating a false impression that a flotilla of Allied ships was heading in the opposite direction to the genuine invasion fleet. Using first hand sources from a wide range of archives, government documents, letters and memos Operation Fortitude builds a picture of what wartime Britain was like, as well as the immense pressure these men and women were working under and insure D-Day succeeded.

With honesty and heart-rending emotion, actress and filmmaker Dyan Cannon tells the story of her topsy-turvy relationship with Hollywood legend Cary Grant. Cannon's captivating narrative takes the reader behind the scenes of Hollywood's Golden Age, inside America's high court of glamour and notoriety in which Cary Grant was king. In his private life alongside Cannon, however, a story that began with all the romance of his famous films — Charade, To Catch a Thief, An Affair to Remember or The Philadelphia Story — would end up taking a series of tragic and unpredictable twists and turns. In sharing Grant's inside story for the first time, Dear Cary is exactly what Hollywood is always looking for... the next blockbuster, and a story for romance lovers of all ages.

PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ

No. 1 Sunday Times Bestseller. 'Can't fail to move' The Sunday Times ALL AUTHOR PROCEEDS DONATED TO THE AMY WINEHOUSE FOUNDATION. As an artist, she had few peers. Her lyrical prowess and timeless contralto vocals made her an instant revelation when her debut album Frank was released in 2003. And as her star continued to rise it became evident that this seemingly delicate girl from north London was much more than just a precocious talent. Genius, inspiration, icon; there are many ways to describe Amy Winehouse, but it was her wit, charm and lust for life that cemented her place in the hearts of her fans. Here, using exclusive extracts from his own personal diaries, Amy's father and confidant Mitch celebrates what influenced his daughter. Documenting her early years from Sylvia Young to the Brit School, and the darker side of her life as she struggled to cope with her addictions under the glare of the media spotlight, he gives new insights. With never before seen photos, notes and drawings, this book brings together the many layers of Amy's life — the personal, the private and the public — to create an honest and intensely moving account of the life of the most talented recording artist of her generation.
