It's no secret that Beethoven went deaf, that Mozart had constant money problems, and that Gilbert and Sullivan wrote musicals. But what were these people — and other famous musicians — really like? What did they eat? What did they wear? How did they spend their time? And — possibly most interesting of all — what did their neighbors think? Discover the fascinating and often humorous stories of twenty famous musicians — people of all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and lifestyles, from various countries and historical periods. Beginning with Vivaldi and ending with Woodie Guthrie, Lives of the Musicians brings musical history to life.

Tolstoy: A Russian Life

In November 1910, Count Lev Tolstoy died at a remote Russian railway station. At the time of his death, he was the most famous man in Russia, with a growing international following, and more revered than the Tsar. Born into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy had spent his life rebelling not only against conventional ideas about literature and art but against traditional education, against family life, organized religion, and the state. In this exceptional biography, Rosamund Bartlett draws extensively on key Russian sources, including much fascinating new material made available since the collapse of the Soviet Union. She sheds light on Tolstoy's remarkable journey from callow youth to writer to prophet; discusses his troubled relationship to his wife Sonya, a subject long neglected; and she vividly evokes the Russian landscapes Tolstoy so loved. Above all, she gives us an eloquent portrait of the brilliant, maddening, and contrary man who has, once again, been discovered by a new generation of readers.

The Beatles Were Fab (and They Were Funny)

PDF, 40 страниц, 1.20 МБ

It's not just the band name The Beatles that's funny — the Fab Four themselves were as goofy as all get-out. Q: How do you find all this business of having screaming girls following you all over the place? George: Well, we feel flattered... John:... and flattened. When the Beatles burst onto the American music scene in the early 1960s, they were just four unknown lads from Liverpool. But soon their off-the-charts talent and offbeat humor made them the most famous band on both sides of the Atlantic. This lively picture book, with it's gorgeous, expressive, and suitably quirky paintings, chronicles the phenomenal rise of Beatlemania, showing how the Fab Four's sense of humor helped deflect everything that was thrown their way — including jellybeans.

The Quiet Book padded: Board book

All quiet is not created equal. In this irresistibly charming picture book, many different quiet moments are captured, from the anticipation-heavy “Top of the roller coaster quiet” to the shocked-into-silence “First look at your new hairstyle quiet.” The impossibly sweet bears, rabbits, fish, birds, and iguanas are all rendered in soft pencils and colored digitally, and, as in all of the best picture books, the illustrations propel the story far beyond the words. A sure-to-be-a-classic bedtime favorite.
