If You Liked School, You'll Love Work	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Irvine Welsh Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2008	PDF, 400 страниц, 12.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
«In his first short-story collection since «The Acid House», Irvine Welsh sets us five tricky questions. In «Rattlesnakes» how do three young Americans find themselves lost in the desert, and why does one find himself performing fellatio on another while being watched by the bare-breasted Madeline and two armed Mexicans? Who is the mysterious Korean chef who has moved upstairs to Chicago socialite Kendra Cross, in «The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park», and what does he have to do with the disappearance of her faithful pooch Toto? In the title story, can Mickey Baker — an expert English bar-owner ducking and diving on the Costa Brava — manage to keep all his balls in the air: maintaining his barmaid Cynthia's body weight at the sexual maximum while attending to the youthful Persephone and dodging his persistent ex-wife and a pair of Spanish gangsters? By what train of events does Raymond Wilson Butler, writing a biography of a legendary US film director in «Miss Arizona» come to end up as a piece of movie memorabilia? And how, in the novella «The Kingdom of Fife» will Jason King — diminutive ex-trainee jockey and Subbuteo star of Cowdenbeath — fare in the world of middle-class female equestrians, and will he ever enjoy the tender and long-anticipated charms of Jenni Cahill and her remarkable jodhpurs? All of these questions are posed, and answered, in these five extraordinary stories: stories that remind us that Irvine Welsh is a master of the shorter form, a brilliant storyteller, and — unarguably — one of the funniest and filthiest writers in Britain.»

The stories in this collection move from Malaya to America and England, and include some of Maugham's most famous tales; 'Flotsam and Jetsam', the story of an old woman trapped for years in a loveless marriage in the remote rubber plantations; 'The Man with the Scar', and notably the opening story 'The Vessel of Wrath', a tale of the unexpected love that grows between a devout missionary nurse and a drunken reprobate. In this second volume of his collected stories, Maugham illustrates his characteristic wry perception of human foibles and his genius for evoking compelling drama from an acute sense of time and place.

Moonwalk	Random House, Inc.
Автор: Michael Jackson Издательство: Random House, Inc., 2010	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
«Moonwalk» is the only book about his life that Michael Jackson ever wrote. It chronicles his humble beginnings in the Midwest, his early days with the Jackson 5, and his unprecedented solo success. Giving absolutely unrivalled insight into the King of Pop's life, it details his songwriting process for hits like «Beat It, Rock With You», «Billie Jean», and «We Are the World»; and describes how he developed his signature dance style, including the «Moon Walk». It also opens the door to his very private personal relationships with his family, including sister Janet, and stars like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Marlon Brando, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, and Brooke Shields. At the time of its original publication in 1988, «Moonwalk» broke the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that surrounded Michael Jackson. Candidly and courageously, Jackson talks openly about his wholly exceptional career and the crushing isolation of his fame, as well as the unfair rumors that have surrounded it. «Moonwalk» is illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael's personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for the book. It reveals and celebrates, as no other book can, the life of this exceptional and beloved musician.»
