Chasing The Light - Oliver Stone - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Chasing The Light - Oliver Stone - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

*** " I loved it. An amazing book." - Louis Theroux "A rip-roaring read. It left me breathless." - Chris Evans, Virgin Radio Breakfast Show "Riveting." - The New York Times "... a Hollywood movie in itself." - Spike Lee "Raw, savagely honest, as dramatic as any of his movies." - Mail on Sunday "A tremendous book - readable, funny and harrowing." - The Sunday Times In this powerful and evocative memoir, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter, Oliver Stone, takes us right to the heart of what it''s like to make movies on the edge. In Chasing The Light he writes about his rarefied New York childhood, volunteering for combat, and his struggles and triumphs making such films as Platoon , Midnight Express , and Scarface . Before the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while taking miscellaneous jobs and driving taxis in New York, finally venturing westward to Los Angeles and a new life. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with vivid details of the high and low moments: we sit at the table in meetings with Al Pacino over Stone''s scripts for Scarface , Platoon , and Born on the Fourth of July ; relive the harrowing demon of cocaine addiction following the failure of his first feature, The Hand (starring Michael Caine); experience his risky on-the-ground research of Miami drug cartels for Scarface ; and see his stormy relationship with The Deer Hunter director Michael Cimino. We also learn of the breathless hustles to finance the acclaimed and divisive Salvador; and witness tensions behind the scenes of his first Academy Award-winning film, Midnight Express .The culmination of the book is the extraordinarily vivid recreation of filming Platoon in the depths of the Philippine jungle with Kevin Dillon, Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Johnny Depp et al , pushing himself, the crew and the young cast almost beyond breaking point. Written fearlessly, with intense detail and colour, Chasing the Light is a true insider''s story of Hollywood''s years of upheaval in the 1970s and ''80s, and Stone brings this period alive as only someone at the centre of the action truly can.

Auschwitz A Mother's Story - Rosa De Winter Levy - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Auschwitz A Mother's Story - Rosa De Winter Levy - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Suddenly there is a blow to my face, I am hurled to one side. ''My child, I have to go with her!'' I scream. But Dr Mengel is standing before me, whip raised. ''Maul halten, shut up!'' His eyes gleam. Filled with fear I cower down. In 1943, as the Nazi power swept across central Europe, Rosa, her husband Emanuel and their daughter, Judy, were forced into hiding. But after a year and a half of living a terrifying, day-by-day existence, they were betrayed. As they arrived in Auschwitz, Rosa was torn from her husband and her only daughter. Could she dare to hope she would see either of them again?Somehow, Rosa fought the horror and humiliation of the camp, on occasion coming dangerously close to death. In nursing the people trapped beside her, she helped others survive, but tragically she also watched them die - including a mother she had met before, with a similar story and a daughter the very same age. Her name was Edith Frank.Written immediately in the months after the war, Auschwitz - A Mother''s Story tells Rosa de Winter-Levy''s unique and heart-breaking personal story - from the atrocities of the camp to her journey out of hell. Powerful and affecting, it is the testimony of a mother, and the pain she will endure for the chance to hold her child again. It''s night. The door opens and along with 500 other women I am taken to the so-called Krätzeblock, the scabies block. Mice and rats run over us, the women scream and cry, it''s almost unbearable. There''s no chance of sleep, we''re all consumed by the same thought: tomorrow our final hour will have come.

Where Did I Go Right? - Geoff Norcott - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Where Did I Go Right? - Geoff Norcott - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

***''Brave and vividly evoked, should haunt Kier Starmer et al.'' - The Telegraph '' Where Did I Go Right? is sharp, considered, insightful, and helped me make sense of "the other side". And because Geoff Norcott is so funny, it unfortunately means I can''t dismiss his views entirely. It''s so important to have a friend you can disagree with but still admire and Geoff can be that friend to you!'' - Katherine Ryan ''I''ve always thought the benefit of having batsh*t parents is it increases the chance of you growing up funny. It''s certainly worked for Geoff Norcott.'' - David Baddiel ''Few people walk the line of thought provoking and laugh out loud funny like Geoff Norcott.'' - Romesh Ranganathan Comedian Geoff Norcott should have been Labour through and through. He grew up on a council estate, both of his parents were disabled, and his Dad was a Union man. So, how was it that he grew up to vote Tory? In this courageously honest and provocative memoir, Geoff unpicks his working-class upbringing and his political journey from left to right. Raised by a fierce matriarch and a maverick father on a South London council estate where they filmed scenes for The Bill , Geoff spends his youth attempting to put out kitchen fires with aerosols and leaping in and out of industrial skips. But as he reaches adolescence, his political views begin to be influenced by major events including the early 90s recession, the credit crunch, and a chance encounter with Conservative PM John Major.As an adult, Geoff begins to have the gnawing feeling that the values and traditions he grew up with no longer match Labour''s. And, as Brexit appears, he feels even more like a double agent operating behind enemy lines.Written with warmth, wit and often laugh-out-loud humour, Where Did I Go Right? is Geoff''s attempt to understand why he ended up voting ''for the bad guys'', and why blue-collared conservatism could be here to stay. Praise for Geoff Norcott: ''A mature, sharp take on modern politics'' - The Sunday Times ''Gently abrasive, but that''s what makes him so entertaining... with a sharp, self-knowing wit'' - The Times ''Geoff Norcott genuinely has something original to say'' - New European ''A refreshingly brilliant new comedic voice'' - Spectator ''Norcott is an out-and-out rebel'' - Express

It's Always Summer Somewhere - Felix White - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

It's Always Summer Somewhere - Felix White - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

***** A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK & SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER "Felix White''s beautifully, elegantly and passionately written book reminds me why I love cricket so much. And reading, come to that." - Stephen Fry "The love of cricket is both communal and individual. Felix has a wonderful knack of evoking both in a book full of life, joy and resilience." - Gideon Haigh "Whether you love cricket or are still confused by the rules of the game, you''ll love this. Felix''s writing is warm and witty. A joy to read." - Cariad Lloyd Felix White, for reasons often beyond him, has always been deeply in love with cricket. His passion for the game is at the fore on the BBC ''s number one cricket podcast and 5Live show, Tailenders, which he co-presents with Greg James and Jimmy Anderson. It''s Always Summer Somewhere is his funny, heartbreaking and endlessly engaging love letter to the game.Felix takes us through his life growing up in South West London and describes how his story is forever punctuated and given meaning by cricket. Through his own exploits as a slow left arm spinner of ''lovely loopy stuff'', to the tragic illness of his mother, life with The Maccabees and his cricket redemption, Felix touches on both the comedic and the tragic in equal measure. Throughout, there''s the ever-present roller coaster of following the England cricket team. The exploits of Tufnell (another bowler of ''lovely loopy stuff''), Atherton, Hussain et al, are given extra import through the eyes of a cricket-obsessed youth. Felix meets them at each signposted moment to find out what was really behind those moments that gave cricket fans everywhere sporting memories that would last forever, sending the book into an exploration of grief, transgenerational displacement and how the people we''ve known and things we''ve loved culminate and take expression in our lives. It''s Always Summer Somewhere is an incredibly honest detail of a life lived with cricket. It offers a sense of genuine empathy and understanding not just with cricket fans, but sports and music fans across the world, in articulating our reasons for pouring so much meaning into something that we simply cannot control. Culminating in the heart-stopping World Cup Final in 2019, the book finally answers that question fans have so often asked... what is it about this game?
