At the time, nothing like Diwan existed in Cairo. Culture was languishing under government mismanagement, and books were considered a luxury, not a necessity. Over the next decade, these three women would contend with censors, chauvinists, critics, one another and many people who said they would never succeed in establishing Diwan as Cairo's leading bookstore.\r\nFrank, fresh and very funny, Chronicles of a Cairo Bookseller is a portrait of a country hurtling toward a revolution, a feminist rallying cry, and an unapologetic crash course in running a business under the law of entropy.

His two previous bestselling memoirs, Lucky Man and Always Looking Up, dealt with how he came to terms with the illness, all the while exhibiting his iconic optimism. \r\nIn No Time Like the Future: An Optimist Considers Mortality, Michael shares personal stories and observations about illness and health, ageing, the strength of family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality. Thoughtful and moving, but with Fox's trademark sense of humour, his book provides a vehicle for reflection about our lives, our loves, and our losses.\r\nRunning through the narrative is the drama of the medical madness Fox recently experienced, that included his daily negotiations with the Parkinson's disease he's had since 1991, and a spinal cord issue that necessitated immediate surgery. His challenge to learn how to walk again, only to suffer a devastating fall, nearly caused him to ditch his trademark optimism and \"get out of the lemonade business altogether.\"\r\nDoes he make it all of the way back?

This is George O'Dowd in all his exhausting glory.' Observer\r\n\r\n'I went to a lot of trouble to create Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting to be him. But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm finally learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham.'\r\n\r\nKarma is the definitive autobiography from the incomparable Grammy, Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning lead singer of Culture Club and LGBTQ+ vanguard: Boy George. Told in his inimitable style, Karma tells the story of the charismatic frontman - the drama, the music, his journey of addiction and recovery, surviving prison, meeting legends like David Bowie, Prince and Madonna, and the highs and lows of a life lived in the spotlight and in the headlines.\r\n\r\nThis is the explosive and searingly honest account of Boy George's life as a child growing up in sixties London, coming out to his Irish Catholic family and exploring his sexuality through the hedonism of the seventies - the glam rock and punk rock revolution that birthed Culture Club - and the heydays of the nineties, to finally embracing the man and artist that he is today. With all the humour, honesty, sarcasm (and hats!) that you'd expect, Karma gives us a unique insight into Boy George's incredible story and the true evolution of a music icon.\r\n\r\n'Culture Club is always going to be one of those lovers I go back to. I've railed against it and that Boy George character I created. For years I convinced myself I was a creature of habit, unchangeable, immovable. But eventually you have to look in the mirror.

That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, until John's untimely death in 1980, and beyond, to the present day.\r\nIn 1971, then the talk host on American airwaves, Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album. Their talk quickly lead to other private calls and then to John Lennon, with whom he quickly formed a firm bond. Those conversations became hours-long epics, to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in, for which only two people had the number - John and Yoko.\r\nThe aftermath of The Beatles' breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade. Elliot witnessed it, or heard all about it, at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his 'lost weekend'. There was joy when their son Sean was born and the creative rebirth that was the multi-platinum selling triumph, Double Fantasy.

Vanessa Friedman, New York Times\r\n***\r\nBeautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images, The Look is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama's style evolution, in her own words for the first time.\r\nIn this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband's U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady of the United States and today as one of the country's most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.\r\nFeaturing the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama's trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.\r\nObama's intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life - from the colourful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.\r\nIn The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how - when wielded with grace and care - they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you're wearing something that's intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.","authors":["Michelle Obama","Farah Jasmine Griffin","Meredith Koop"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/516\/9781846016516_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/516\/9781846016516_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/516\/9781846016516_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"54,00 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"30 septembre 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Michelle Obama, Farah Jasmine Griffin, Meredith Koop \u2014 Octopus Publish","translator":null,"weight":1840,"page_count":304,"readership":null,"editor":"Octopus Publish","price":5400,"published_date":"2025-09-29T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9781846016516\/the-look-the-no1-new-york-times-bestseller"},{"id":"9780593686508","title":"Consent : A Memoir","description":"A \r\n\r\nIn this unflinching account of the ardent love affair between the author and her painting teacher, which began in the 1970s, when she was a teenager and he was married with two children, Ciment not only reflects on how their love ignited (who leaned in first for that kiss?) but interrogates her 1996 memoir on the subject,","authors":["Jill Ciment"],"category_codes":["1000000","1060000"],"visuals":{"large":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/508\/9780593686508_1_75.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/508\/9780593686508_1_m.jpg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.epagine.fr\/508\/9780593686508_1_v.jpg"},"orderable":true,"show_badge":true,"formatted_price":"19,80 \u20ac","formatted_published_date":"3 juin 2025","publisher_availability_label":"Sur commande","short_details":"Jill Ciment \u2014 Vintage Usa","translator":null,"weight":159,"page_count":160,"readership":null,"editor":"Vintage Usa","price":1980,"published_date":"2025-06-02T22:00:00.000000Z","support":"Grand format","publisher_availability":1,"stock":0,"editions":[],"url":"https:\/\/quaidesbrumes.com\/ouvrage\/9780593686508\/consent-a-memoir"}]}
