WHITE BOY A ROCK AND ROLL STORY (STEPHEN, GLASER;ANDY, GRACHUK)

My wife Lyne suggested a short explanation as to the motives behind writing this; let?s call it a time capsule. The first reason is that this is a slice of the story that is Stephen Glaser, to be shared by our four children, ten beautiful grandchildren, friends, and anyone who is curious about the start of Rock and Roll. Just so they know more about their friend, Father, Grandpa, or curious reader. This is my last chance to say to the world, ?here I am, this is my story? or to be just ?Dust in the Wind?, to coin a phrase. The second is to share this story with anyone who might be interested in the way it really was, from the perspective of a teenager who happened to be blessed to take part in this thing we call Rock and Roll. This is what really happened to me and, to some extent, to all those unsung heroes who almost made it to the top. For every performer who made it to the top, there are thousands of performers like me and The Cavaliers who could have succeeded?but for a simple twist of fate, or luck, or life getting in the way?we did not triumph. The ultimate aim of this book is to give you a bird?s-ey

LA CIUDAD DE LAS REDES (FRIEDRICH, OTTO)

Esta es la fabulosa historia de un gran imperio entre 1939 y 1949, la historia social y cultural de la edad de oro de la capital del cine, de los diez años en que alcanzó su máxima grandeza y cayó en la más sombría decadencia. Otto Friedrich nos habla del Hollywood creador de imágenes ; de los conflictos entre distintas clases y generaciones ; de los enfrentamientos entre radicales, reaccionarios y gángsters ; de la mezcla de glamour, bienestar, hipocresía y criminalidad ; de las grandes películas y sus realizadores ; de las «intrigas palaciegas» ; de los actores más controvertidos y de los célebres escritores-guionistas que poblaron la Meca del Cine y que son tema de estudio de esta rigurosa, suculenta, irreemplazable historia de Hollywood, escrita y documentada por uno de los grandes historiadores de nuestro tiempo.

L’EXILI MANLLEVAT (PI-SUNYER CUBERTA, NÚRIA)

Núria Pi-Sunyer dóna el testimoni de la segona generació d'expatriats: aquells a qui l'exili no va sobrevenir en la plenitud de la vida, sinó de ben joves. Per a ells, l'exili va significar una intensa experiència d'aprenentatge vital. Filla

EUGENIO IZQUIERDO DE RIVERA Y LAZAÚN (1745-1813) . CIENTÍFICO Y POLÍTICO EN LA SOMBRA (CALATAYUD ARINERO, MARÍA ÁNGELES)

Eugenio Izquierdo gozó de la confianza de importantes personajes de la política de su tiempo y llegó a destacar en la España de Carlos IV. Pensionado de joven para estudiar en París, la formación allí adquirida, unida a sus dotes diplomáticas le valdrán el nombramiento de director del Real Gabinete de Historia Natural, cargo que no llegaría a ejercer dado su intensa actividad política como consejero real al frente de numerosas misiones diplomáticas en Francia en relación a Godoy y que le valdrían los cargos de Representante Oficial ante Napoleón y Consejero Honorario de Estado y de Guerra. El desenlace de los acontecimientos de 1808 le llevarán a acompañar como secretario a Carlos IV en su exilio en Francia.
