Sinopsis

In "The Man Who Was Goethe: Memoirs, Letters & Essays," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe presents a profound exploration of his inner landscape through an eclectic mix of personal reflections, letters, and philosophical essays. The text is characterized by its lyrical prose, melding autobiographical narrative with contemplative musings on art, nature, and the human experience. Set against the backdrop of the Sturm und Drang movement and the burgeoning Romantic era, Goethe's work stands as a testament to the tensions of enlightenment thought and emotional depth, providing readers with a nuanced portrait of a man deeply engaged with the complexities of life and creation. Goethe, a polymath spanning poetry, drama, philosophy, and science, was significantly influenced by his experiences in Weimar and the cultural currents of his time. His extensive correspondence reveals not just his intellectual pursuits, but also his personal struggles and relationships, which shaped him as an artist and thinker. A key figure in German literature, his inquiries into human nature and existence resonate through his varied works, making this collection particularly insightful for understanding his philosophical evolution and artistic commitments. For readers seeking to delve into the mind of one of history's greatest literary figures, "The Man Who Was Goethe" offers a rich tapestry of thought and emotion. This collection is essential for those interested in the intersection of personal experience and artistic expression, illuminating the life of Goethe while shaping the broader context of European literature. Engage with this compelling narrative and discover the profound insights that continue to influence generations of writers and thinkers.

    At the age of 25, she received an Academy Award for Best Actress and little more than a year later, she became royalty. Stunningly beautiful, elusive, and aloof, Grace Kelly captured our imagination and affection throughout her storybook career and royal marriage. Raised in Philadelphia in an atmosphere of great wealth and greater expectations, Grace transformed from an aristocratic conforming beauty into a sensual, recklessly daring woman.
    In Grace, Robert Lacey breaks through the glittery faç ade of her public image and reveals a complex, surprisingly conflicted woman who created a dream for herself and succeeded in making it come true. With the art of a storyteller and the skill of an astute biographer, Lacey presents intimate details of Grace's relationships with Clark Gable, William Holden, and Bing Crosby, and ultimately with her prince, their relationship, and her struggles with parenthood. Lacey rounds out this evocative story of a beloved heroine with compelling details of the Grimaldi family and Grace's death.

    My Secret Life Vol 9 Chapter 2

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle

    The first autobiography from legendary Welsh rugby player George North 
    George North is a true legend of Welsh rugby, an integral part of the national team for fourteen years. 
    Recently retired from the international game, he is the third-most-capped player in Welsh history with 121 Test appearances, the youngest player ever to reach 100 caps, and the second-highest try scorer with 47. 
    At club level, he has played for the Scarlets, Northampton and Ospreys, and latterly Provence in France. 
    North is open, charismatic, thoughtful but hugely competitive, and this is the first time he has reflected on his extraordinary career. Co-written with the brilliant sportswriter Tom Fordyce, this autobiography is an utterly compelling and enthralling retrospective, taking in George’s life growing up in Anglesey on the North Welsh coast, before he burst onto the scene when he became the youngest player ever to score a try on his debut aged just 18. 
    Full of heart and passion, George’s story is a uniquely inspirational insight into the art, mastery and sheer force of the game of rugby. 
    This top memoir, available for pre-order, is a cultural and regional exploration of North's life and career. It's the latest and best in non-fiction, offering a deep dive into the world of rugby.
