That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Human - Kimberly Lemming - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

That Time I Got Drunk And Saved A Human - Kimberly Lemming - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''This book is pure, sexy, dirty joy'' Goodreads reviewer on That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon When I was a little girl, my Ma used to read me stories every night. Some were epic adventures with high stakes and exciting twists, while others were of princesses trapped in towers guarded by fierce dragons. The pitiful princess would be stuck inside all day pining for her prince charming to come and rescue her. I always hated those stories. I couldn''t imagine why the lazy thing didn''t just get up and leave. Ironic since I was now stuck in that same situation. Turns out, when a dragon holds you hostage, he doesn''t just let you get up and leave. Who knew? When I thought I saw hope on the horizon, that hope was smashed to bits by - you guessed it - another damn dragon. ''[P]erfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA'' Smart Bitches, Trashy Books on That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers - Roger Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers - Roger Lewis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told'' Sunday Telegraph Roger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits. But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers'' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, ''sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms'', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore. PRAISE FOR THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS ''It is a mad book - but then the subject is a madman. I love Lewis''s passion ... I recommend it'' Sunday Times ''Reinventing the genre as well as reassessing its subject with formidable intelligence, this book is a remarkable achievement'' Literary Review

Shakespeare's Sisters - Ramie Targoff - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare's Sisters - Ramie Targoff - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This remarkable work about women writers in the English Renaissance explodes our notion of the Shakespearean period by drawing us into the lives of four women who were committed to their craft long before there was any possibility of ''a room of one''s own.'' In an innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare''s England, Ramie Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of four women writers working at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land in one of England''s most infamous inheritance battles. These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had been shut for centuries. Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women; in the process, she helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer understanding of history and offering a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare''s day.
