Jagd auf den Falken

release date: Aug 21, 2024
Jagd auf den Falken
London 1533: Anne geht auf die dreißig zu und hat es ganz nach oben geschafft: Sie ist die Königin von England, gekrönt in der Westminster Abbey. Ihre Geschichte ist der Stoff für opulente Hollywoodfilme und historische Romane. Das echte Leben der Anne Boleyn war kein Märchen, denn die unperfekte Heldin war zu klug, zu emanzipiert, zu wortgewandt, zu weltläufig und in entscheidenden Momenten unvorsichtig selbstsicher. Der schockverliebte Traumprinz, König Heinrich VIII., entpuppte sich als narzisstischer Machtmensch – und statt Happy End findet diese Ehe ihr erbarmungsloses Ende in der Hinrichtung Annes. Es hätte anders kommen können: Wenn Anne Boleyn, die große Liebe Heinrichs VIII., bereit gewesen wäre, seine Mätresse zu sein und sich mit gelegentlichen romantischen Liebesbriefen begnügt hätte, hätte der König den Papst nicht gedrängt, seine erste Ehe zu annullieren, er hätte sich nicht selbst zum Oberhaupt der englischen Kirche ernannt und Schockwellen durch Europa gesandt. Doch Anne, in deren Wappen der Falke thronte, wollte mehr sein als «die Frau an seiner Seite». Sie organisierte die Rolle der Königin am Hof in subversiver Weise neu, beeinflusste die Politik des Königs und war auf dem besten Weg zur Mitregentin, bis Heinrichs Liebe in Hass umschlug. Die königliche Jagd auf den Falken begann erneut – dieses Mal nicht, um Anne zu erobern, sondern um sie zu töten. John Guy und Julia Fox haben eine gekonnt erzählte, schonungslos präzise Biographie einer Ehe geschrieben, die mit einer Fülle von Details tief in den Glanz, Pomp und Luxus des royalen Tudor-Englands eintaucht und zugleich die ständigen Ängste des Hofs Heinrichs VIII. vor Verrat, Bedeutungsverlust und der unvorhersehbaren Ungnade des Königs erspüren lässt.

Po drugiej stronie. Autobiografia
She did it herself...yeah! Debiutancka książka Julii Fox, “jednej z największych postaci popkultury” (New York Magazine) opisuje jej szokujące życie i determinację, by nie tylko przetrwać, ale również spełnić wszystkie swoje marzenia. Julia Fox słynie z wielu rzeczy: porywającej gry aktorskiej, wyznaczaniu modowych trendów, mistrzostwa w mediach społecznościowych, na których bawi i edukuje miliony swoich obserwujących czy viralowych momentów na TikToku. Ale wszystko to łączy cecha, która naprawdę ją wyróżnia: bezwstydna, nieskrępowana, uzdrawiająca szczerość. To zobowiązanie do autentyczności nigdy nie było bardziej widoczne niż w „Po drugiej stronie”. Pisząc zarówno elokwentnie, jak i przystępnie, Fox opowiada o swojej burzliwej drodze do popkulturowej dominacji: niestabilny związek rodziców, który podzielił jej dzieciństwo między Włochy i Nowy Jork i sprawił, że w dużej mierze wychowywała się sama. Jej podróże do więzienia, a także do szpitala psychiatrycznego. Praca dominy, która doprowadziła do skomplikowanej relacji z sugar daddym. Jej prawie śmiertelne przedawkowanie heroiny i śmierć jeszcze większej liczby przyjaciół z powodu narkotyków i samobójstwa. Emocjonalnie wybuchowy, zdominowany przez tabloidy romans z postacią, którą nazywa "Artystą". Wir, krótkotrwałe małżeństwo i historia samodzielnej matki starającej się utrzymać małego synka. Choć to historia wyjątkowa i niezwykła, przede wszystkim jest uniwersalna. Rodzina i przyjaźń, seks i śmierć, przemoc i miłość, pieniądze i władza, niewinność i samopoznanie - to wszystko jest tutaj, w surowych, niezwykłych i porywających szczegółach. Ponad rok przed publikacją w jednym z wywiadów Julia Fox nazwała swoją książkę „arcydziełem”, co poskutkowało milionami przerobek i viralowych filmów. Jak zwykle, Fox po prostu była szczera. „Po drugiej stronie” to nie kolejna celebrycka książka, a literackie osiągnięcie – jedyne w swoim rodzaju, zupełnie jak jego autorka. Nie wiesz kim jest Julia Fox? Ta książka spowoduje, że na pewno jeszcze o niej usłyszysz. „Julia Fox emanuje urzekającą i bezkompromisową kobiecą energią, która dodaje sił i intryguje. Jej pewność siebie, autentyczność i odważny styl przyczyniają się do magnetycznej prezencji, która podważa normy społeczne, czyniąc ją wpływową postacią w promowaniu indywidualności i wyrażania siebie. Chcesz rozwinąć swoją dark feminine energy - ta książka jest dla Ciebie” – Jessica Mercedes "Julia Fox swoją biografią udowadnia, że w każdym momencie życia możemy redefiniować nasze wartości i sposób postrzegania siebie. To przekonuje mnie, że nasza odmienność stanowi siłę, która pozwala nam wyróżnić się spośród tłumu. Autentyczność, przyjaźń, marzenia i odwaga w podejmowaniu ryzyka mogą być receptą na sukces ponieważ trudne chwile, które przeżywamy, nas kształtują, a nie definiują" – Madlen Revlon "Down the Drain" Julii Fox to nie tylko autobiografia współczesnej ikony popkultury, ale przede wszystkim hipnotyzująca opowieść o uniwersalnych doświadczeniach kobiecości. Przerażająca, autentyczna, słodko-gorzka. Pozostawiła mnie w zachwycie nad determinacją autorki – Karolina Kaja Gołuchowska, dziennikarka i twórczyni podcastu “Rok dla ciała” „W czasach kiedy gwiazdy próbują być za wszelką cenę relatable, postać i książka Julii Fox to łyk świeżego powietrza. "Down the drain" to do bólu szczera historia kobiety silnej i złamanej, opiekuńczej i nieprzewidywalnej. Dla wszystkich, którzy do dziś zastanawiają się co tak właściwie daje Julii Fox prawo do nazywania się artystką, ta książka daje jasną odpowiedź: jej najbardziej intrygującym dziełem sztuki jest jej własne życie” – Maciej Marcisz „Julia Fox twierdzi, że jest swoją własną muzą i traktuje swoje życie jak dzieło sztuki. I jest to sztuka wręcz transgresywna, złożona z uzależnień, kinkowego seksu, koszmarnych związków i osobistych tragedii. Wystawia ją w kręgach nowojorskiej socjety, na hollywoodzkich bankietach i w szemranych klubach, gdzie uprzywilejowana młodzież z dobrych domów bywa by ćpać i udawać DJów. To postać, o której będą powstawać piosenki - nieugięta heroina, której nie obchodzi wasze zdanie” - Hiob Dylan

Hunting the Falcon

Hunting the Falcon
“A fierce, scholarly tour-de-force. . . . Hunting the Falcon brilliantly shows how time, circumstance and politics combined to accelerate Anne’s triumph and tragedy." —Tina Brown, New York Times Book Review “A sumptuous drama of lust, intrigue, and betrayal, underpinned by the harsh reality of politics.”—Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire A groundbreaking, freshly-researched examination of one of the most dramatic and consequential marriages in history: Henry VIII’s long courtship, short union, and brutal execution of Anne Boleyn. Hunting the Falcon is the story of how Henry VIII’s obsessive desire for Anne Boleyn changed him and his country forever. John Guy and Julia Fox, two of the most acclaimed and distinguished historians of this period, have joined forces to present Anne and Henry in startlingly new ways. By closely examining the most recent archival discoveries, and peeling back layers of historical myth and misinterpretation and distortion, Guy and Fox are able to set Anne and Henry’s tragic relationship against the major international events of the time, and integrate and reinterpret sources hidden in plain sight or simply misunderstood. Among other things, they dispel lingering and latently misogynistic assumptions about Anne which anachronistically presumed that a sixteenth-century woman, even a queen, could exert little to no influence on the politics and beliefs of a patriarchal society. They reveal how, in fact, Anne was a shrewd, if ruthless, politician in her own right, a woman who steered Henry and his policies, often against the advice he received from his male advisers—and whom Henry seriously contemplated making joint sovereign. Hunting the Falcon sets the facts–and some completely new finds–into a far wider frame, providing an appreciation of this misunderstood and underestimated woman. It explores how Anne organized her “side” of the royal court on novel and (in male eyes) subversive lines compared to her queenly predecessors, adopting instead French protocol by which the sexes mingled freely in her private chambers. Men could share in the women’s often sexually charged courtly “pastimes” and had liberal access to Anne, and she to them—encounters from which she gained much of her political intelligence and extended her authority, and which also sowed the seeds of her own downfall. An exhilarating feat of historical research and analysis, Hunting the Falcon is also a thrilling and tragic story of a marriage that has proved of enduring fascination over the centuries. But in the hands of John Guy and Julia Fox, even the most knowledgeable reader will encounter this story as if for the first time.

Down the Drain

release date: Oct 10, 2023
Down the Drain
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The hotly anticipated book from “one of the all-time pop-culture greats” (New York magazine) that chronicles her shocking life and unyielding determination to not only survive but achieve her dreams. Julia Fox is famous for many things: her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. With writing that is both eloquent and accessible, Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy: her parents’ volatile relationship that divided her childhood between Italy and New York City and left her largely raising herself; a possessive and abusive drug-dealing boyfriend whose torment continued even from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; an emotionally explosive, tabloid-dominating romance with a figure she dubs “The Artist”; a whirlwind, short-lived marriage and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son. Yet as extraordinary as her story is, its universality is what makes it so powerful. Fox doesn’t just capture her improbable evolution from grade-school outcast to fashion-world icon, she captures her transition from girlhood to womanhood to motherhood. Family and friendship, sex and death, violence and love, money and power, innocence and experience—it’s all here, in raw, remarkable, and riveting detail. More than a year before the book’s publication, Fox’s description of it as “a masterpiece” in a red carpet interview went viral. As always, she was just being honest. Down the Drain is a true literary achievement, as one-of-a-kind as its author.

Jane Boleyn

release date: Mar 24, 2009
Jane Boleyn
In a life of extraordinary drama, Jane Boleyn was catapulted from relative obscurity to the inner circle of King Henry VIII. As powerful men and women around her became victims of Henry’s ruthless and absolute power–including her own husband and her sister-in-law, Queen Anne Boleyn–Jane’s allegiance to the volatile monarch was sustained and rewarded. But the cost of her loyalty would eventually be her undoing and the ruination of her name. For centuries, little beyond rumor and scandal has been associated with “the infamous Lady Rochford,” but now historian Julia Fox sets the record straight. Drawing upon her own deep knowledge and years of original research, she brings us into the inner sanctum of court life, teeming with intrigue and redolent with the threat of disgrace. In the eyes and ears of Jane Boleyn, we witness the myriad players of the stormy Tudor period, and Jane herself emerges as a courageous spirit, a modern woman forced by circumstances to make her own way in a privileged but vicious world.

Don't Leave Me This Way

Don't Leave Me This Way
Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who—after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven—told her she''d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would "treat your mind as well as your body." Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she''d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab—with the help of family, friends, and her own indomitable spirit—Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out. Don''t Leave Me This Way is the funny, inspiring, profoundly moving true story of a woman''s fight for her life and dignity—and her determined quest to awaken an entrenched, unfeeling medical community to the fact that there''s always a human being inside every patient.
