ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Дэвид Финчер – один из самых гениальных режиссеров нашего времени. Его фильмы – головоломки, загадки, хитросплетения тайн и уловок. Он виртуозно манипулирует зрителем, водит за нос и заставляет лихорадочно всматриваться в экран, в поисках подсказок. Каждая его история – изощренный лабиринт, из которого не хочется выбираться. Все его герои – кукловоды и марионетки. Эта книга – исследование его творчества, история становления как режиссера. Каждый его фильм становится очередным фрагментом в бесконечной мозаике портрета виртуоза триллера Дэвида Финчера.

скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3475.00 руб.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A deliciously funny and sage guide to midlife – an unscientific, flaws-and-all account of one woman’s adventures and misadventures through the dark comedy of the wilderness years.
Through her own experiences as a fifty-something woman, and those of her three sisters, her indomitable mum and rebellious auntie, Charlotte tackles the big questions every woman seeks answers to at this time of our lives – chiefly: How the hell am I going to get over being young in a world obsessed with youth?
Written with warmth, wisdom and irreverence this guide to midlife is perfect for readers of Nora Ephron, Caitlin Moran and India Knight.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Where can a tin of tuna buy you clean clothes? Where is it easier to get ‘spice’ than paracetamol? Where does self-harm barely raise an eyebrow?
Welcome to Her Majesty’s Prison Service. Like most people, documentary-maker Chris Atkins didn’t spend much time thinking about prisons. But after becoming embroiled in a dodgy scheme to fund his latest film, he was sent down for five years. His new home would be HMP Wandsworth, one of the largest and most dysfunctional prisons in Europe.
With a cast of characters ranging from wily drug dealers to senior officials bent on endless reform, this powerful memoir uncovers the horrifying reality behind the locked gates. Filled with dark humour and shocking stories, A Bit of a Stretch reveals why our creaking prison system is sorely costing us all – and why you should care.

Monster. The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member (Grove Press)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
I propose to open my mind as wide as possible to allow my readers the first ever glimpse at South Central from my side of the gun, street, fence and wall.
After pumping eight blasts from a sawed-off shotgun at a group of rival gang members, twelve-year-old Kody Scott was initiated into the L.A. gang the Crips. He quickly matured into one of the most formidable Crip combat soldiers, earning the name 'Monster' for committing acts of brutality and violence that repulsed even his fellow gang members. When the inevitable jail term confined him to a maximum-security cell, a complete political and personal transformation followed: from Monster to Sanyika Shakur, Black nationalist, member of the New Afrikan Independence Movement and crusader against the causes of gangsterism.
In a document that has been compared to The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Eldridge Cleaver's Soul on Ice, Shakur makes palpable the despair and decay of America's inner cities and gives eloquent voice to one aspect of the

The Mystery of Charles Dickens (Atlantic)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3475.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Charles Dickens was a superb public performer, a great orator and one of the most famous of the Eminent Victorians. Slight of build, with a frenzied, hyper-energetic personality, Dickens looked much older than his fifty-eight years when he died. Although he specified an unpretentious funeral, it was inevitable that crowds flocked to his open grave in Westminster Abbey. Experiencing the worst and best of life during the Victorian Age, Dickens was not merely the conduit through whom some of the most beloved characters in literature came into the world. He was one of them.
Filled with twists, pathos and unusual characters, The Mystery of Charles Dickens looks back from the legendary writer's death to recall the key events in his life. In doing so, A. N. Wilson seeks to understand Dickens's creative genius and enduring popularity. Following him from cradle to grave, it becomes clear that Dickens's fiction drew from his own experiences - a fact he acknowledged. Like Oliver Twist, Dicken ...

A Runner's High. Older, Wiser, Slower, Stronger (Allen & Unwin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the shoe-melting heat of Death Valley to the lung-freezing cold of the South Pole. He’s raced and competed across the globe and once ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days.
In A Runner’s High, Karnazes chronicles his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States, infamous for its rugged terrain and extreme temperatures, becomes the most demanding competition of his life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one’s purpose. Confronting his age, wearying body, career path and life choices, we see Karnazes as we never have before, raw and exposed. A Runner’s High is both an endorphin-fuelled page-turner and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
What better way to understand ourselves than through the eyes of comedians - those who professionally examine our quirks on stage daily? In this touching and witty book, award-winning presenter and comic Robin Ince uses the life of the stand-up as a way of exploring some of the biggest questions we all face. Where does anxiety come from? How do we overcome imposter syndrome? What is the key to creativity? How can we deal with grief?
Informed by personal insights from Robin as well as interviews with some of the world's top comedians, neuroscientists and psychologists, this is a hilarious and often moving primer to the mind. But it is also a powerful call to embrace the full breadth of our inner experience - no matter how strange we worry it may be!

Dalvi. Six Years in the Arctic Tundra (Allen & Unwin)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3475.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
An ancestry test suggesting she shared some DNA with the Sami people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic tundra, tapped into Laura Galloway's wanderlust; an affair with a Sami reindeer herder ultimately led her to leave New York for the tiny town of Kautokeino, Norway. When her new boyfriend left her unexpectedly after six months, it would have been easy, and perhaps prudent, to return home. But she stayed for six years.
Dalvi is the story of Laura's time in a reindeer-herding village in the Arctic, forging a solitary existence as she struggled to learn the language and make her way in a remote community for which there were no guidebooks or manuals for how to fit in. Her time in the North opened her to a new world. And it brought something else as well: reconciliation and peace with the traumatic events that had previously defined her - the sudden death of her mother when she was three, a difficult childhood and her lifelong search for connection and a sense of home.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A beautifully written and compelling memoir of a largely unexplored area of medicine: transplant surgery.
Leading transplant surgeon Dr Joshua Mezrich creates life from loss, moving organs from one body to another. In this intimate, profoundly moving work, he examines more than one hundred years of remarkable medical breakthroughs, connecting this fascinating history with the stories of his own patients.
Gripping and evocative, How Death Becomes Life takes us inside the operating room and presents the stark dilemmas that transplant surgeons must face daily: How much risk should a healthy person be allowed to take to save someone she loves? Should a patient suffering from alcoholism receive a healthy liver? The human story behind the most exceptional medicine of our time, Mezrich's riveting book is a poignant reminder that a life lost can also offer the hope of a new beginning.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Agatha Christie's 'most absorbing mystery' - her own autobiography.
Over the three decades since her death on 12 January 1976, many of Agatha Christie's readers and reviewers have maintained that her most compelling book is probably still her least well-known. Her candid Autobiography, written mainly in the 1960s, modestly ignores the fact that Agatha had become the best-selling novelist in history and concentrates on her fascinating private life. From early childhood at the end of the 19th century, through two marriages and two World Wars, and her experiences both as a writer and on archaeological expeditions with her second husband, Max Mallowan, Agatha shares the details of her varied and sometimes complex life with real passion and openness.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'Just read it.' Elon Musk
The dramatic inside story of the first four historic flights that launched SpaceX-and Elon Musk-from a shaky startup into the world's leading edge rocket company. SpaceX has enjoyed a miraculous decade. Less than 20 years after its founding, it boasts the largest constellation of commercial satellites in orbit, has pioneered reusable rockets, and in 2020 became the first private company to launch human beings into orbit. Half a century after the space race SpaceX is pushing forward into the cosmos, laying the foundation for our exploration of other worlds.
But before it became one of the most powerful players in the aerospace industry, SpaceX was a fledgling startup, scrambling to develop a single workable rocket before the money ran dry. The engineering challenge was immense; numerous other private companies had failed similar attempts. And even if SpaceX succeeded, they would then have to compete for government contracts with titans such as ...

14 - Даниил Хармс глазами современников: Воспоминания. Дневники. Письма
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3520.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Даниил Иванович Хармс (1905–1942) является знаковой фигурой уникальной формации литературного авангарда, существовавшей в Ленинграде в очень трудное время для развития новейших течений в искусстве — во второй половине 1920-х и 1930-е годы. Хармс не только создал поразительный по своему своеобразию художественный мир, но был организатором ряда творческих объединений. Самым знаменитым его проектом стало ОБЭРИУ, хотя и просуществовавшее всего около двух с половиной лет, но давшее имя для характеристики целого литературного направления. Значение творчества Хармса выходит далеко за рамки художественного эксперимента своей эпохи, его произведения оказали огромное влияние на литературу и театр второй половины XX века и остаются актуальными и востребованными по сей день. Главная цель настоящего издания — представить своего рода путеводитель по жизни и творчеству Даниила Хармса. В книге собрано более восьмидесяти текстов. Это воспоминания родных, друзей и знакомых Хармса, созданные в разные годы, фрагменты их перепис ...

Nicholas & Alexandra (Orion)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The tragic, compelling story of the last Tsar and his family Nicholas & Alexandra is the internationally famous biography from Pulitzer prize-winner Robert Massie. Massie shows conclusively how the personal curse of the young heir's haemophilia, and the decisive influence it brought Rasputin, became fatally linked with the collapse of Imperial Russia. As an engrossing account of one of the century's most dramatic episodes - and an intimate portrait of two people caught at the centre of a maelstrom - Nicholas & Alexandra is unlikely ever to be surpassed. 'The story of the last Tsar has probably never been so powerfully - and so accurately - told' Guardian

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Воспоминания известного ученого и философа В. В. Налимова. автора оригинальной философской концепции, изложенной, в частности, в книгах "Вероятностная модель языка" (1979) и "Спонтанность сознания" (1989), почти полностью охватывают XX столетие. На примере одной семьи раскрывается панорама русской жизни в предреволюционный, революционный, постреволюционный периоды. Лейтмотив книги - сопротивление насилию, борьба за право оставаться самим собой.
Судьба открыла В.В. Налимову дорогу как в науку, так и в мировоззренческий эзотеризм. В течение 10 лет он был участником движения мистического анархизма в России. В книге освещено учение мистического анархизма, а также последующие события жизни автора: тюрьма, колымский лагерь, ссылка; затем - возвращение в Москву и вторичное вхождение в мир науки, переосмысление пережитого.
Воспоминания носят как философский, так и историографический характер. В приложениях помещены протоколы из архивных материалов, раскрывающие мало исследованные ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A poignant and powerful memoir from BAFTA award-winning filmmaker, Syrian refugee, hospital cleaner and activist, Hassan Akkad.
I've experienced the best and worst of humanity. I've been detained and beaten, and welcomed and respected. And yet, this story - my story - is one of hope, not fear.
From the jasmine-scented streets of Damascus to uprisings, protest and being forced to flee his home, Hassan Akkad has experienced unbearable losses. Yet, he still holds on to hope and chooses to see the kindness in humanity every day.
Since seeking asylum in the UK, Hassan's unshakeable instinct to raise awareness, help and connect, has seen him share not only his experience as a refugee, but to the coronavirus pandemic. Hassan documented his work as a cleaner on a London hospital Covid-19 ward. His photographs and advocacy shone a spotlight on the often overlooked NHS cleaners and porters and instigated a U-turn on a government bill that had excluded their families ...

All the Living and the Dead. A Personal Investigation into the Death Trade (Raven Books)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3627.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we're so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?
Fuelled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending 62 lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.
Through Campbell's incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden?
