Te Maldigo con Alegra - Tiffany Haddish - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

Tiffany Haddish está de regreso con su nueva y muy esperada colección de ensayos, Te Maldigo con Alegría . La última vez que los lectores se sentaron con Tiffany Haddish fue con su exitoso debut El Ultimo Unicornio Negro . Desde entonces, se catapultó a la fama como estrella de Girls Trip. Desfiló por la alfombra roja de los Oscar, estrenó exitosas comedias en Showtime y Netflix y pasó a la historia como la primera comediante negra en presentar Saturday Night Live y Shark Week. Pero no todo ha sido una fiesta. En estos ensayos humorísticos y sentidos, Tiffany se enfrenta a los altibajos de la vida. Hubo una época en la que Tiffany no sabía del todo quién era Tiffany. Antes de descubrir su propio estilo, se presentaba en el escenario vestida como sus compañeras de trabajo en la aerolínea para contar insípidos chistes de pitos. Se hundió. Fue necesario un pene falso, la ayuda de algunos amigos y un poco de apoyo de Bob Saget para que Tiffany descubriera quién era Tiffany. En este libro, Tiffany se enfrenta a sus traumas de infancia, a los desafíos de ser mujer negra en la industria del entretenimiento y a su agridulce reencuentro con su padre después de casi veinte años. Te Maldigo con Alegría es Tiffany Haddish sin filtros, invitando al lector a su intimidad, donde la alegría, la honestidad, el amor y el corazón están a la orden del día. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy . It''s been a minute. Readers last sat down with Tiffany in her bestselling debut The Last Black Unicorn . Since then, Haddish has catapulted to A-list fame as the breakout start of Girls Trip . She''s walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first Black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week. But it hasn''t been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn''t totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked. It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way--the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a Black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after twenty years apart. Don''t worry, she''s got plenty of advice to share, too. I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you''re thinking...how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing readers into Tiffany''s inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day.

Paroled felon. Rich doctor''s wife. Famous clairvoyant. Cassie Chadwick, one of history''s most successful con artists, was a master of reinvention.

The Imposter Heiress - Annie Reed - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

Before there was Anna Delvey or Elizabeth Holmes, there was Cassie Chadwick. The first woman–using criminal cunning, some confidence, and a bit of charm—to bring down a federal agent, a bank, and a city''s worth of men. Paroled felon. Rich doctor''s wife. Famous clairvoyant. The best con artists know how to reinvent themselves, time and time again. Cassie Chadwick, one of history''s most successful con artists, was a master of the trade. Over the course of fifteen years, she swept from town to town, assuming new identities and running new swindles at each railroad stop. In the dusk of the Gilded Age, years after the robber barons had amassed their fortunes, she was amassing her own. Then came the Carnegie con. Using her wits and a series of forged documents, Cassie convinced prominent men from Cleveland to New York City that she was Andrew Carnegie''s illegitimate daughter. Blinded by the name of the most powerful man in the world, businessmen lined up to loan her hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time. The con made her impossibly rich. The crash shattered banks and bankers alike. Her sensational trial drew the eyes of a nation that couldn''t get enough of the woman, who newspapers called the Queen of Swindlers, the Duchess of Diamonds, the High Priestess of Fraudulent Finance. Indeed, when Charles Ponzi''s infamous scheme collapsed in 1920, reporters scoffed that Ponzi is a piker compared to Cassie. Interspersing Cassie''s crimes with stories of an unsuspecting Andrew Carnegie, author Annie Reed spins an enthralling, page turning tale of true crime. Could the rumors be true? Can Cassie''s money last? Will she escape the electric chair? Told with a gossip columnists'' charm and wit, THE IMPOSTER HEIRESS, is a rollicky trickster''s tale that will appeal to history buffs and true crime aficionados alike to bring one of the greatest swindlers of all time back into the public eye.

Gangsterland - David Pietrusza - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

Gangsterland - David Pietrusza - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

WELCOME TO JAZZ-AGE MANHATTAN''S KALEIDOSCOPIC UNDERWORLD. A site by site, crime by crime, outlaw by outlaw walking tour through the seedy underbelly of Roaring Twenties Manhattan—where gamblers and gangsters, crooks and cops, showgirls and speakeasies ruled the day and, always, the night. In Gangsterland , historian David Pietrusza tours the Big Apple''s rotten core. The Roaring Twenties blaze and sparkle with Times Square''s bright lights and showgirls, but its dark shadows mask a web of notorious gangsters ruling New York City. At the heart of this wickedness nests a Prince of Darkness, Arnold Rothstein, the kingpin most noted for fixing baseball''s infamous 1919 World Series, who also bankrolled high-stakes gambling dens, speakeasies, trigger-happy bootleggers, and even a record setting Broadway show. Sharing center stage are con artists Nicky Arnstein and Dapper Don Collins; crooked cop Lt. Charles Becker; politicians Mayor Gentleman Jimmy Walker and Big Tim Sullivan; master drug smugglers George Uffner and Sidney Stajer; murderous racketeers Lucky Luciano and Legs Diamon; show biz legends Flo Ziegfeld, Fanny Brice, and Texas Guinan; and many more. As Pietrusza prowls city boulevards and back alleys, exposing Tammany Hall, sports, Broadway, and Wall Street, jewels are fenced, bullets fly, and unmarked bills buy bribes and silence. Readers get up close and personal with this rogues'' gallery but better check their wallets before they leave.

The Big Truth - David Becker - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

The Big Truth - David Becker - Bog - Diversion Books - Plusbog.dk

A Revelatory Account Of The 2020 Election—The Most Secure, Verifiable, And Transparent In American History—And The Heroes Brave Enough To Get It Right The Big Truth illuminates a crowning achievement in America’s quest for a robust democracy in the face of slander by sore losers and opportunists. Filled with interviews of the guardians of democracy—election workers, January 6th Committee members Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) and Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and more—it is an overpowering counterattack against the Big Lie. CBS Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and National Election Expert David Becker, the Executive Director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research, reveal why Big Lie “fraud” allegations evaporate under scrutiny. They report what actually happened in 2020 while calling out each Trumpian misdirection designed to con and beguile Americans into chasing phantom allegations of election crimes. The 2020 election was not what Trumpist deniers claim. Our political parties knew the rules and procedures. We had record turnout and few election snarls. The result: an accurate count, a seven-million-vote margin of victory, 306 electoral votes for Joe Biden, and Republican gains in congressional and state races. But then-President Trump stoked paranoia—never looking for evidence, contesting results even before anyone cast a ballot, and seeking to bend our system until it almost broke with a violent Capitol riot. The Big Lie—the true corruption of American democracy—has shaken our confidence in stable self-government. On the heels of voter-fraud claims, the Capitol siege, and damaging voting laws, the next midterm and presidential election will test our democracy more severely than at any time since the Civil War. How we react may well determine if we are led into another war against ourselves. The Big Truth debunks the 2020 election conspiracy myth once and for all, while celebrating those who held up our democracy under arguably the most intense scrutiny in American electoral history.
