Beschreibung

This book is not a paired step by step biography in any way of these two mysterious kings. Their individual stories have been told again and again in more ways than the world cares to hear. However, the world is yet to read a new narrative that ties together the lives of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The people and circumstances that surrounded the lives of these two music icons are different but similar when viewed much more closely. If we go a little bit further back, then it’s astonishing to see just how much the individual backgrounds of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson scream out something we had not noticed before as far as rags to riches stories go. The mystique void that was their impoverished childhoods will help explain the sort of unusual talent and implausible chance that would allow them to rise to stardom despite both been very shy and socially withdrawn children of the mid-20th century American working-class heartland.
 
This is the comparative story of the people and circumstances that helped two very unlikely boys step out of obscurity into the shimmering spotlight as the king of Rock and Roll and the king of Pop respectfully.

    Russell C. Brennan (aka Russell Writer) started DJing at only 15 years old in places he wasn’t even old enough to be in, where ‘Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting’ by Elton John was often on the turntable. Fought over by two agencies who wanted to represent him, he quickly established himself as a popular DJ in clubs, restaurants, dancehalls and pubs around London and Southern England before being snapped up by an international agency who would catapult him to being one of the first super DJs back in the 80s playing big clubs around Europe. He was also asked to become the premiere VJ of MTV Europe when it launched. 
    This book is far from being a bog-standard sex, drugs and rock n’ roll tale (although some of that apart from the drugs does creep in). He gives an insight into what a ruthless business it can be and covers other striking events that also became part of his journey like murder and a very unique marriage. 
    It gives an insight into what it’s like to be a top DJ and celebrity lifestyle , often in a humorous or poetic way but as is the case with some of his other biographies about other parts of his career, it’s a warts and all story featuring more than a few unusual relationships, so no holds barred and not for the squeamish. 
    Russell is currently the world’s only male Geisha (the rest are all female). What that means in reality is, he has made a dent in all the arts from writing, music, photography and art and is even editor of an influential cultural magazine and head honcho of an influential indie record label. 
    . He has come a long way since those early DJ days that first put him on the map.

    From the acclaimed biographer and author of Balzac's Omelette, an engaging new work on the life of "the father of Impressionism" and the role his Jewish background played in his artistic creativity. 
     
     
     
    The celebrated painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) occupied a central place in the artistic scene of his time: a founding member of the new school of French painting, he was a close friend of Monet, a longtime associate in Degas's and Mary Cassatt's experimental work, a support to Cézanne and Gauguin, and a comfort to Van Gogh, and was backed by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel throughout his career. Nevertheless, he felt a persistent sense of being set apart, different, and hard to classify. Settled in France from the age of twenty-five but born in the Caribbean, he was not French and what is more he was Jewish. Although a resolute atheist who never interjected political or religious messages in his art, he was fully aware of the consequences of his lineage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on Pissarro's considerable body of work and a vast collection of letters that show his unrestrained thoughts, Anka Muhlstein offers a nuanced, intimate portrait of the artist whose independent spirit fostered an environment of freedom and autonomy.
