Summary

It is a paradox that Marquet belongs more to the past and future than to the present. His art awaits the silence that is yet to fall. He nevertheless teaches us to appreciate the riches of meditation, directing us to that exalted place of peace so central to his vision.

    Roy Orbison - King of Hearts

    Clad in black with dark shades, Roy Orbison had a mystique, style, and voice that were unmistakable and singularly different from his famous peers of the 1950s and '60s. Born in Vernon, Texas, Roy was the son of a guitar-playing oil worker. Already a music fan by age six, Roy went on to form a high school band. Honky-tonk gigs followed. Then a contract at Elvis Presley's label, Sun Records, where Roy found mentors and friends among the likes of Carl Perkins. Following a shift to Monument Records, he shared a bill with a group called the Beatles, who were huge fans of his.After experimenting with different styles, Roy edged closer to a sound all his own. He found it with smash hits, including "Only the Lonely," "Crying," and "Oh, Pretty Woman," songs heavy with pathos and remarkable vocals. It was gold. But what lay ahead was a professional downswing, and personal tragedy with the death of his wife and two sons. Twenty lean years followed. Yet Roy Orbison was far from over. Amid the rockabilly revival of the 1980s and the formation of the British-American supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, Roy's comeback was legendary. Asked how he'd like to be remembered, Roy said, "One day when they are mentioning people who had an impact, if they just mention me among the rest of the guys and gals, it would be great." He got his wish. Roy Orbison: King of Hearts seals it.

    Trump: Modern Shaman - An Unparalleled Analysis of America's Most Controversial Leader 
    Trump didn't just break America's political rules - he revealed them as illusions. This is an outsider's discovery of how an unlikely shaman transformed the world's most powerful nation. 
    Trump follows ancient patterns of leadership that modern politics has forgotten. Through raw charisma and intuitive genius, he tapped into psychological forces that reshaped America's soul. This analysis reveals why millions found his message irresistible—and why his critics still don't understand what hit them. 
    Written by a non-American observer free from Washington's tribal warfare, this work examines how the deeply flawed Trump could be the very hero America needs in its darkest hour. 
    Note: This book offers a clear-eyed view of both his strengths and limitations but is ultimately strangely pro-Trump.
