Desde aquí a lo desconocido: Memorias Author: Riley Keough, Lisa Marie Presley Narrator: Susana Ballesteros, Fabiola Stevenson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 45 minutes Release date: October 17, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Hija de uno de los mayores mitos de Estados Unidos y criada en el territorio salvaje de Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley cuenta por primera vez su historia en estas memorias sinceras, conmovedoras y totalmente únicas, fielmente completadas por su hija, Riley Keough. En 2022, Lisa Marie Presley le pidió a su hija que la ayudase a terminar las memorias que tanto tiempo llevaba preparando. Un mes después, Lisa Marie fallecía, dejando al mundo sin la posibilidad de escuchar su historia en sus propias palabras. Nunca llegarían a descubrir a la mujer apasionada, alegre, cariñosa y complicada que Riley tanto quería y añoraba. Riley recogió las cintas que su madre había grabado para el libro, se tumbó en su cama, y escuchó a Lisa Marie contar historia tras historia sobre cómo solían estrellar coches de golf en los jardines de Graceland, sobre el amor incondicional que le profesaba su padre, sobre el tiempo que pasaban en la planta de arriba, solos los dos. Y sobre cómo tuvieron que sacarla a la fuerza del cuarto de baño mientras corría chillando hacia su cuerpo, inerte en el suelo. Sobre su vida con su madre en Los Ángeles, donde pasaba de un colegio a otro, acumulando expulsiones, siempre metida en líos. Sobre la especial relación con Danny Keough, que se prolongó durante toda su vida, sobre su matrimonio con Michael Jackson y todo lo que tenían en común. Sobre la maternidad. Sobre los abismos de la adicción. Sobre la tristeza que la acechaba constantemente. Riley supo que tenía que cumplir el deseo de su madre y compartir esos recuerdos, incandescentes y dolorosos, con el mundo. Para permitir que la conozcamos por fin. Este libro extraordinario está compuesto tanto de la voz de Lisa Marie como de la de Riley, una madre y una hija comunicándose incluso después de la muerte para intentar curarse la una a la otra. Profundamente conmovedora e intensamente reveladora, Desde aquí a lo desconocido es una obra inigualable: las últimas palabras de la única hija de una auténtica leyenda.

La rivista Time l'ha proclamata 'Persona dell'anno' nel 2023. Il suo undicesimo album, The Tortured Poets Department, è il primo nella storia a raggiungere un miliardo di stream su Spotify.

E come ha affrontato il contraccolpo di questa fama stratosferica? Completamente aggiornato e ricchissimo di dettagli affascinanti, Taylor Swift: la biografiaracconta il percorso musicale e personale di Taylor, mettendo in luce la sua sensibilità e capacità di instaurare un rapporto unico con i suoi fan, che lei è capace di far sentire interlocutori privilegiati. Ma anche la sua mentalità da impavida donna d'affari che ha sfidato la discografia tradizionale reincidendo i propri album, con una mossa di emancipazione ed empowerment senza precedenti. Dalla prima chitarra ricevuta a otto anni alle sfide che ha incontrato sulla strada del successo, dalle evoluzioni dei suoi outfit agli attacchi mediatici, dalle relazioni con compagni famosi come Harry Styles, Joe Alwyn e Travis Kelce fino al The Eras Tour, che celebra i suoi primi vent'anni di carriera: un libro imperdibile per tutti gli Swifties.

Morris Narrator: Barbara Hannigan, Thomas W. Morris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 24 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Always The Music is the fascinating story of Morris’ personal metamorphosis through the highest levels of the world of classical music, his learning and insights into how storied musical institutions function, great artists create, and audiences engage. Over the course of 34 years running the Boston Symphony and The Cleveland Orchestra, he had the growing realization that American orchestras had become ingrown on themselves, with rigid structures and cultures that conspired to perpetuate those structures rather than the music experiences they were built to create. Stepping back from orchestras and looking to experiment with his evolving insights, he became artistic director of the Ojai Music Festival. Its size, its setting, its unique structure and a long history with many of the world’s most innovative and influential musicians and composers provided an opportunity for Morris to reimagine musical experiences by challenging all aspects of making music and producing concerts. The first part of the book recounts Morris’s journey through close collaborations with key individuals and projects, while the final chapters synthesizes his career lessons into an unequivocal but thoughtful prescription for the future of the American orchestra. Mostly, though, this is the entertaining story of one man’s lifelong love affair with great music and the people who make it.

Title: The Naughty Bits: What The Censors Wouldn’t Let You See in Hollywood’s Most Famous Movies  Author: Nat Segaloff Narrator: Nat Segaloff Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 42 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Between 1934 and 1968, no Hollywood studio could make a movie without the permission of, and a seal of approval from, the Production Code Administration. Formed in 1930 but not enforced until 1934, the Production Code was Hollywood’s official censorship system. Screenplays, books, plays, costumes, and even story ideas and song lyrics had to be cleared by the Code before they could be filmed, and Code staffers watched at every stage of the production process to ensure compliance. The correspondence between the Code and the studios was confidential, and the memos within the Code office itself were even more so. Well, not anymore. The Naughty Bits pores through those files to show how the censors did their job and yields some surprising results. What was the world prevented from seeing in some of the greatest movies ever made as well as some of the most scurrilous? Here is the sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous, always riveting history of movie censorship revealed in letters, notes, and tantrums on both sides of the screen. The audiobook is read by author Nat Segaloff. It is edited slightly from the print edition published by Sticking Place Books. It necessarily contains dated language and ideas that some listeners may find offensive.
