George Harrison The Holy Beatle: Secrets From A Wonderful Life

Once again internationally acclaimed, best-selling biographers Geoffrey Giuliano and Avalon Giuliano tear back the decades-old veil of myth and unquestioning hero worship surrounding the Beatles’ turbulent lives and present the frank, often heart-wrenching tale of four young men from Liverpool thrust upon the world stage and into the stratosphere of untouchable super-stardom. Utilizing a wealth of unpublished personal correspondence, never-before-heard taped conversations, obscure studio and home recordings, lost songs and the forgotten diaries the group left behind at the Maharishi’s ashram in 1968, Revolution is the last word on the Beatles' astounding life and times. For the first time, family members, friends, and colleagues speak out exclusively on the often oppressive constraints of global Beatlemania and the life-changing effect it had on the Boys. Geoffrey Giuliano is a prominent Beatles biographer and historian who has dedicated his life to unraveling the intricate tapestry of the legendary band's history. With an impressive body of work spanning numerous books, documentaries, and interviews, Giuliano has delved deep into the lives and dynamics of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. His meticulous research and extensive interactions with those close to the Beatles have allowed him to offer unique insights into the band's formation, rise to stardom, and eventual dissolution. Despite controversy and criticism surrounding some of his claims, Giuliano's contributions to Beatles scholarship have undeniably enriched the understanding of their enduring impact on music and culture.

[French] - Love, Pamela: (Version française)

L'actrice, militante et ancienne Playmate infâme de Playboy reprend le récit de sa vie dans ses mémoires qui défient les attentes tant par son contenu que par son approche, mêlant une prose incisive à des extraits de poésie originale. Son image de blonde incendiaire était omniprésente dans les années 1990. Découverte dans les gradins d'un match de football, elle a été immédiatement propulsée vers la célébrité, devenant la favorite de Playboy en tant que mannequin de couverture et un emblème du glamour et de la sexualité à Hollywood. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque l'on perd le contrôle de sa propre vie - et que l'image que la machine de notoriété crée pour vous ne correspond pas à qui vous êtes vraiment ? Ayant grandi sur l'île de Vancouver, fille de parents jeunes, sauvages et démunis, l'enfance de Pamela Anderson n'a pas été facile, mais cela lui a permis de créer son propre univers, entourée de nature et d'amis imaginaires. Quand elle a surmonté sa grande timidité et qu'elle s'est affirmée, elle s'est retrouvée en couverture de magazines, sur les plages de Malibu, sur les plateaux de tournage de films et d'émissions de télévision, dans les bras de rockstars, dans le cercle convoité du Manoir Playboy. Et alors que sa célébrité augmentait, elle est devenue la cible des tabloïds, à une époque où les paparazzi cherchaient à capturer les moments les plus intimes, et parfois les plus faibles, des célébrités. C'est à ce moment-là que Pamela Anderson a perdu le contrôle de son propre récit, blessée par les médias et craignant la perception du public de qui elle était... et de qui elle n'était pas. En ripostant avec grâce, animée par son amour de l'art et de la littérature, et motivée par son dévouement envers ses enfants et les causes qui lui tiennent le plus à cœur, Pamela Anderson est maintenant revenue sur l'île où elle a grandi, après une mémorable prestation dans le rôle de Roxie à Chicago sur Broadway, reprenant ainsi son esprit libre tout en restant une femme forte, créative et confiante.
