Named one of the best books of 2017 by Time, People, The Guardian, Paste Magazine, The Economist, Entertainment Weekly, & Vogue Tina Brown kept delicious daily diaries throughout her eight spectacular years as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Today they provide an incendiary portrait of the flash and dash and power brokering of the Excessive Eighties in New York and Hollywood. The Vanity Fair Diaries is the story of an Englishwoman barely out of her twenties who arrives in New York City with a dream. Summoned from London in hopes that she can save Condé Nast''s troubled new flagship Vanity Fair, Tina Brown is immediately plunged into the maelstrom of the competitive New York media world and the backstabbing rivalries at the court of the planet''s slickest, most glamour-focused magazine company. She survives the politics, the intrigue, and the attempts to derail her by a simple stratagem: succeeding. In the face of rampant skepticism, she triumphantly reinvents a failing magazine. Here are the inside stories of Vanity Fair scoops and covers that sold millions—the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana''s marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. In the diary''s cinematic pages, the drama, the comedy, and the struggle of running an "it" magazine come to life. Brown''s Vanity Fair Diaries is also a woman''s journey, of making a home in a new country and of the deep bonds with her husband, their prematurely born son, and their daughter. Astute, open-hearted, often riotously funny, Tina Brown''s The Vanity Fair Diaries is a compulsively fascinating and intimate chronicle of a woman''s life in a glittering era.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “addictively readable” (The Washington Post) inside story of the British royal family’s battle to overcome the dramas of the Diana years—only to confront new, twenty-first-century crises “Frothy and forthright, a kind of Keeping Up with the Windsors with sprinkles of Keats.”—The New York Times (Notable Book of the Year) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Elle, Town & Country “Never again” became Queen Elizabeth II’s mantra shortly after Princess Diana’s tragic death. More specifu00adically, there could never be “another Diana”—a memu00adber of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone, and posed an existential threat to the Britu00adish monarchy. Picking up where Tina Brown’s masterful The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the trauu00admatic years when Diana’s blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet. Brown takes readers on a tour de force journey through the scandals, love affairs, power plays, and betrayals that have buffeted the monarchy over the last twenty-five years. We see the Queen’s stoic reu00adsolve after the passing of Princess Margaret, the Queen Mother, and Prince Philip, her partner for seven decades, and how she triumphs in her Jubilee years even as family troubles rage around her. Brown explores Prince Charles’s determination to make Camilla Parker Bowles his wife, the tension between William and Harry on “different paths,” the ascendu00adance of Kate Middleton, the downfall of Prince Anu00addrew, and Harry and Meghan’s stunning decision to step back as senior royals. Despite the fragile monaru00adchy’s best efforts, “never again” seems fast approaching. Tina Brown has been observing and chronicling the British monarchy for three decades, and her sweeping account is full of powerful revelations, newly reported details, and searing insight gleaned from remarkable access to royal insiders. Stylish, witty, and erudite, The Palace Papers will irrevocau00adbly change how the world perceives and underu00adstands the royal family.

A lavishly illustrated history of tattoos and their evolution which goes back hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Tina Celona''s darkly lucid, lightly comic poems are unusually explicit in their attentiveness to the primacy of poetry as a natural force, a force akin to that of the tides or their correlative lunar cycle. Describing in clear, unabstracted terms such elements of the quotidian as war, freedom, dream, "Satisfaction," and imagination, Celona invokes poems and their poet with the same degree of focused intensity as she does more obvious, more conventionally useful objects such as Singer sewing machines, shrimp, straw, driveways, corpses. The result is not so much an elevation as a leveling, a tableau of meaning in which the poet and her poems achieve a plastic, spatial, significant reality on the luxuriously detailed plateau of the natural world: "The cliffs of the / seabed the / Poem twisting like a / Tornado over the / Plains of the interior / Decoration".

These are poems that teeter on the edge of propriety, which are by turns playful, even cocky, and laden with self-doubt. Whether extolling the virtues of ego salad or locating the Louvre "in Paris, / or wherever the Louvre may be now," Celona brings a feline wittiness to the act of writing, which she alludes to with a fervency and frequency that border on neurosis."This poem is only for girls," Celona states with infuriating certainty, daring the reader to challenge her in prose poems that stake out a world where men capriciously cross out their wives and "poetry, too, is bad for you." These sometimes scatological, often buoyant poems juxtapose squalid fact with incandescent images, certainties around which bafflement and pain become organized, against which the distances between people, between penguins, between words and feelings, between beginning with intention and becoming lost, can be measured.

Today they provide an incendiary portrait of the flash and dash and power brokering of the Excessive Eighties.

A historian examines the developments in women’s lives over a period from 1850 to 1950 in the famous southeastern England seaside town. The southeast coastal town of Eastbourne is probably best known today as a popular holiday resort frequented by the retired generation. It has long, golden beaches and a gentile pace of life and, from that point of view, little has really changed from the mid-1850s to today. However, for the women of the town and their advancements and achievements, a significant period was between 1850 and 1950, when changes in medicine, education, family life, and the right to vote played an important part in their lives. The First and Second World Wars also brought about their own changes and challenges. A History of Women’s Lives in Eastbourne delves deep into these historical subjects and more.

Kuninkaallisen perheen vaiherikkaat vuodet Windsorien vaietut totuudet -teoksessa palkittu journalisti Tina Brown syventyy Britannian monarkiaan ja kuninkaallisen perheen elämän käänteisiin kuningatar Elisabetin kuolemaan saakka. Prinsessa Dianan kuoleman jälkeen Windsorin kuninkaallinen perhe oli uudenlaisen tilanteen edessä. Dianan suosio oli jättänyt muun kuninkaallisen perheen varjoonsa ja ollut suoranainen uhka koko monarkian olemassaololle. Perheen uutta kurssia alkoi päättäväisesti johtaa kuningatar Elisabet, mutta ristiriidoilta ei vältytty myöhempinäkään vuosina. Tina Brown on perehtynyt brittien monarkiaan kolmen vuosikymmenen ajan ja päässyt osaksi hovin sisäpiiriä. Kirjassaan Windsorien vaietut totuudet Brown keskittyy kuninkaallisen perheen rakkaussuhteisiin, kohuihin, valtapeleihin ja petoksiin. Teos valaisee tarinoita uutisotsikoiden takana sekä median ja Windsorien perheen jäsenten välisiä suhteita. Kuninkaallisen perheen kohtaamat viimeaikaiset kriisit ovat luoneet uudenlaisia haasteita monarkian vaikutusvallan ja merkityksen ylläpitämisessä. Miltä Windsorien johtama monarkia tulee näyttämään Charles III:n valtakaudella?

Best-seller do New York Times e do Sunday Times. "Nunca mais" era o lema da rainha Elizabeth II depois da morte trágica da princesa Diana.
