Neobyčejný život obyčejného muže

release date: Jan 01, 2024
Neobyčejný život obyčejného muže
Znovuobjevené paměti možná největší filmové hvězdy naší doby. Muže, kterého mnozí obdivovali, ale málokdo ho skutečně znal. „Tato kniha vznikla ze snahy vysvětlit vše mým dětem. Chci po sobě zanechat nějaký záznam, který uvede věci na pravou míru, naruší mýty, které kolem mě vznikly, zničí některé legendy a udrží piraně v uctivé vzdálenosti. Něco, co by s určitou přesností zaznamenalo dobu, kdy jsem byl na této planetě. Protože to, co existuje v záznamech teď, nemá vůbec nic společného s pravdou. To je vše, o co mi jde.“ —Paul Newman V roce 1986 se Paul Newman a jeho nejbližší přítel, scenárista Stewart Stern, pustili do ambiciózního projektu. Stern měl sestavit orální historii a požádat Newmanovu rodinu, přátele a ty, kteří s ním úzce spolupracovali, aby vyprávěli o hercově životě. Newman pak měl ve spolupráci se Sternem nabídnout svou verzi příběhu. Jedinou podmínkou bylo, že každý, kdo promluví na záznam, musí být naprosto upřímný. Stejná podmínka platila i pro samotného Newmana. Projekt trval pět let. Výsledkem jsou výjimečné paměti, které byly vybrány z tisíců stran přepisů, jež byly teprve nedávno znovu objeveny. Newmanův hlas je někdy vtipný, někdy bolestný, vždy však především pravdivý. Další hlasy, které se v knize objevují – přátelé z dětství a kamarádi z námořnictva, rodinní příslušníci a filmoví a divadelní spolupracovníci jako Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt a John Huston – dodávají příběhu, který Newman vypráví, bohatost, barvy a souvislosti. Paul Newman podrobně líčí své často traumatické dětství, nejistotu v dospívání, mladické neúspěchy u žen, vzestup ke slávě, své první soupeře (Marlona Branda a Jamese Deana), první manželství, své pití, dobročinnost, smrt syna Scotta a touhu, aby jeho dcery pochopily pravdu o svém otci. Snad nejdojemnější materiál v knize se soustředí na jeho vztah s Joanne Woodwardovou – jejich hlubokou vzájemnou lásku, způsob, jakým ho formovala po intelektuální, emocionální a smyslové stránce, a jeho trvalou závislost na ní. PAUL NEWMAN byl herec, filmový režisér, automobilový závodník a podnikatel. Byl desetkrát nominován na Oscara a tuto cenu získal za nejlepší mužský herecký výkon ve filmu Barva peněz. Byl také držitelem mnoha dalších ocenění, včetně ceny BAFTA, tří Zlatých glóbů, ceny Sdružení filmových a televizních herců, ceny Emmy, ceny Cecila B. de Millea a humanitární ceny Jeana Hersholta. Mezi jeho filmy patří například Biliárový král, Hud, Harper, Frajer Luke, Butch Cassidy a Sundance Kid, Podraz, Rozsudek, Pan a paní Bridgeovi, Nejsem blázen, Cesta do zatracení a Auta studia Pixar, kde namluvil hlas Doca Hudsona. Jako automobilový závodník Newman vyhrál několik národních šampionátů. Jako politický aktivista a humanitární pracovník shromáždil a daroval téměř 1 miliardu dolarů mnoha charitativním organizacím. Paul Newman měl šest dětí a byl padesát let ženatý s oscarovou herečkou Joanne Woodwardovou. Zemřel v roce 2008 ve věku třiaosmdesáti let.

La extraordinaria vida de un hombre corriente

La extraordinaria vida de un hombre corriente
Varios años antes de morir en 2008, Paul Newman encargó a su mejor amigo, Stewart Stern, que entrevistara a los actores y directores con los que trabajó, a sus amigos, a sus hijos, a su primera esposa, a su psiquiatra y a Joanne Woodward, para crear una historia oral de su vida. Después de escuchar y leer lo que otros decían de él, Newman dictó su propia versión de su vida. Ahora, estas memorias perdidas —en su mayor parte narradas por el propio Newman—, repletas de historias maravillosas y recuerdos de su familia, amigos y personalidades como Elia Kazan, Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill y Martin Ritt, van a ser publicadas. Este libro sorprenderá e incluso conmocionará a los que lo lean, ya que revela la parte más desconocida del autor. La extraordinaria vida de un hombre corriente es una obra reveladora e introspectiva, íntima y analítica, por momentos tierna y, siempre, profunda y compleja.

Das außergewöhnliche Leben eines ganz normalen Mannes

release date: Oct 26, 2022
Das außergewöhnliche Leben eines ganz normalen Mannes
Der beeindruckende Lebensbericht Paul Newmans basiert auf einem Sensationsfund von mehr als 80 Stunden Tonaufnahmen, die er - teils in Interviewform, teils als Monolog - aufzeichnete und die erstmals von der Familie freigegeben wurden. Er beschreibt eindrücklich seine Entwicklung von einem unsicheren jungen Mann, der neidisch ist auf andere männliche Stars seiner Zeit wie Marlon Brando und James Dean und sich scheut in eine Kamera zu sprechen, über einen aufstrebenden Hollywood-Newcomer, bis hin zu der Legende Paul Newman, als die wir ihn erinnern. Er hadert darin auch mit seiner Rolle als Symbol für Männlichkeit und Sexyness, ein Hadern, das in der Kindheit angelegt wurde. Newman hatte zeitlebens das Gefühl seine Mutter liebe ihn nur, weil er ein schönes und vorzeigbares Kind sei. Er erzählt von größtem Hollywood-Glamour, aber auch von den Abgründen, die damit einhergehen. Offen und ehrlich schaut Newman auf sein Leben zurück, auf seine gescheiterte Ehe, sein Alkoholproblem, den traumatisierenden Tod seines Sohnes, aber auch auf seine großen Erfolge, filmisch, philanthropisch und persönlich. Erfrischend direkt, ehrlich und schnörkellos.

The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man

release date: Oct 18, 2022
The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, George Roy Hill, Tom Cruise, Elia Kazan and many others. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair "Newman at his best…with his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activities…this rich book somehow imbues his characters’ pain and joy with fresh technicolor." —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.

Vita straordinaria di un uomo ordinario

release date: Oct 17, 2022
Vita straordinaria di un uomo ordinario
Nel 1986, insieme al suo più caro amico, lo sceneggiatore Stewart Stern, Paul Newman dà inizio a un progetto unico e originale: raccogliere in volume tutti i ricordi che su di lui conservavano familiari, amici, colleghi. Per ciascuno di essi, poi, lo stesso Paul Newman racconterà la propria versione della storia. L’unico regola stabilita per tutti è l’assoluta sincerità. Il progetto va avanti per cinque anni, e il risultato è questo racconto profondo e ricco di rivelazioni, distillato di migliaia di pagine di trascrizioni. Rivivono nel dettaglio la turbolenta vita giovanile, le sue insicurezze di adolescente e le prime difficoltà con le donne; i successi sul grande schermo, la rivalità con Marlon Brando e James Dean, e la consacrazione a star mondiale. Non mancano inoltre le confessioni sul primo matrimonio, sui problemi con l’alcol e sulla morte prematura del figlio Scott. Ma soprattutto, al centro del libro, il commovente e inedito racconto della relazione con Joanne Woodward, il loro forte amore reciproco ma anche il fondamentale sostegno intellettuale ed emotivo che lei ha rappresentato. La voce di Paul Newman è spesso divertita, a tratti dolorosa, sempre potente e sincera, e le fanno da contraltare i ricordi degli amici d’infanzia e della marina militare, dei familiari e dei colleghi del cinema e del teatro – da Tom Cruise a George Roy Hill fino a John Huston – che rendono La vita straordinaria di un uomo ordinario allo stesso tempo un libro ricco di rivelazioni e introspettivo, intimo e onesto, profondo e mai banale.

The Lost Queen

release date: Nov 23, 2018
The Lost Queen
"Whosoever shall enter this space... thy double shall seek thee out." Hidden since antiquity, the tomb of the beautiful Lady of The Two Lands is awaiting rediscovery. The dark duality of Ancient Egypt draws in two modern-day twin brothers, Stuart and Harry Knowles. Physically alike but temperamentally different, one is a renowned Egyptologist, one a convicted felon. Their similarities cause both danger and confusion not only in their professional reputations but also in their love lives. Which woman most resembled the fabulous Lost Queen? Was it the cool mysterious Yasmin or the sparky hypnotic Delilah? The fate of the brothers is as much entwined with these two exotic ladies as it is to the golden Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt. The shadowy underground tombs, where deadly archaic curses mix with twenty-first century skulduggery, reflect the sweet darkness of a cup of Egyptian coffee. "As sweet as love, as black as night and as hot as hell."

JUKE BOX BOOGIE Music Magazine

release date: Dec 04, 2017
JUKE BOX BOOGIE Music Magazine
Hello readers, and welcome to my new magazine. It''s an exciting brand-new project that I hope you will enjoy. Writing about Rock''n''Roll through to Rockabilly and Country is not new to me however; my first article was an interview I did way back in 1996, later published in Crazy Bear magazine. From there I wrote for several others and finally ended up writing for the French magazine Rock & Roll Revue until it ceased operation. Instead of putting my pen and notebook back in the drawer, my partner Judith (Page) and I decided to create our own music journal. Our idea didn''t stop at one magazine, but two versions; one in French and this one in English. The next thing I needed was a team - an Anglo-French one. For the French version I work with Eric Galland, and on the English side I work with Judith and Paul F Newman. My team have other lives; my partner Judith is an author of over a dozen books, and Paul is also a published author and an authority on cosmic astrology. This issue will include an interview with Freddie ''Boy'' Burns, articles on singers: George Jones, Johnny Bond, Sheb Wooley, Kid Thomas and Eddie Noack. There''s also a superb article on Mahalia Jackson by Judith, and another by Paul who will have his own unique page highlighting ''the story of a song''. It''s an amazing experience having to write the majority of articles and editing a magazine in the two languages French and English. The common language in both is ''music'', and inside these pages you can read about Country Music, Hillbilly, Blues, Country Boogie, Rock''n''Roll, and the joy of all...Rockabilly. The name for the magazine I''ve chosen is ''Juke Box Boogie'', a tribute to my old friend Freddie Burns, who sadly died in 2015 at the age of 102. This first issue of Juke Box Boogie is dedicated to the late Bernard Boyat. We, the team salute you. You were a giant and the voice and life of Rock''n''Roll.

Career Concerns and Mandated Disclosure

release date: Jan 01, 2009
Career Concerns and Mandated Disclosure
This paper examines the effects of mandated disclosure on the design of contracts and induced behavior in the presence of career concerns. We analyze the impact of two key properties of a mandated performance measure that is publicly disclosed: its sensitivity to the agent''s effort and its informativeness about the agent''s ability. We find that when the mandated measure is highly sensitive to the agent''s effort but the measure is relatively uninformative about the agent''s ability, the agent''s effort (and the firm''s output) will be higher and the pay-for-performance sensitivity will be lower relative to a scenario in which the measure is not mandated. In contrast, if the mandated measure''s informativeness dominates the measure''s sensitivity to effort, then effort is lower and the pay-for-performance sensitivity is higher in the mandated setting. We also characterize settings where a mandated disclosure would be desirable or not; variations arise because mandated disclosures can increase both effort and risk. Our results imply that mandating the public disclosure of performance measures, particularly measures that are relatively informative about ability but are difficult to influence through managerial effort, may have the unintended consequence of generating inefficiencies in firms'' employment contracts.

Newman's Own Cookbook

Newman's Own Cookbook
For years, Paul Newman and his longtime buddy A. E. Hotchner filled old wine bottles with their homemade salad dressing to give to friends as Christmas gifts. Reasoning that what was good enough for their pals was good enough for the public, they formed Newman''s Own to sell the dressing. Their entrepreneurial adventure was a smashing success; to date, Newman''s Own products have generated more than $100 million in after-tax profits, all of which have been donated to charitable and educational causes. In that same generous spirit, Newman, Hotchner, their families, and friends now share more than 125 of their favorite recipes with you. From simple to sophisticated, these dishes are imaginative and delicious, and while some use Newman''s Own products, you can substitute your favorite brand of salsa, salad dressing, or spaghetti sauce without a problem. Some dishes are Newman household favorites, like The Newmanburger, Joanne''s Cereal, and Nell Newman''s Cauliflower and Parmesan Soup with Essence of Lemon. Some are contributions from friends, like Robert Redford''s Lamb Chili with Black Beans, Julia Roberts''s Fresh Peach Crisp, Matthew Broderick''s Grilled T-bone Steak with Sweet Onion Marmalade and Campfire Mustard Sauce, and Whoopi Goldberg''s Big Bad Ass Beef Ribs. There are winners from the Newman''s Own/Good Housekeeping recipe contest, Sundance''s Salsa Steak in a Sack, Towering Inferno Creole Posole, Paul''s Picture Show Popcorn Crunch, and Sockarooni Orange Kiss-Me Cake among them. Illustrated with wonderfully candid photographs and illuminated by Newman''s own trenchant observations, Newman''s Own Cookbook is a treat for the eye and the palate.

THE TREGERTHEN HORROR: Aleister Crowley, D. H.

Involving a large and larger-than-life cast of characters, including the ''handsomest young man in England'', Rupert Brooke, the climber George Mallory, the mad, babbling psychotherapist, Meredith Starr, and the rip-roaring composer, Peter Warlock, the narrative unwinds a tangled tale that enlists the embattled remnants of the Bloomsbury Group, the decadent acolytes of Fitzrovia, a young woman''s involvement with a notorious magician, occult orgies in the grounds of a great house climaxing in a flourish of grand guignol when Bob Fabian, ace sleuth of Scotland Yard, joins the ensemble as he seeks to find the perpetrator of the horrific ''witchcraft murder'' of Lower Quinton.
