      Nevídane brilantná kariéra a prísne strážené súkromie megahviezdy Michaela Jacksona vyvolali priam posadnutosť miliónov fanúšikov rocku a paparacov po celom svete. Michael Jackson spolu s Jackson 5 predal vyše dvesto miliónov albumov. Vo svojej autobiografii rozpráva o šťastných roztopašných časoch mladosti, cestách s bratmi a o svojich neraz zložitých vzťahoch s rodinou. Zdôveruje so svojimi vzťahmi k niektorým zo svojich najznámejších priateľov, otvorene hovorí o zdrvujúcej izolácii zavinenej slávou, o svojej prvej láske, o plastickej operácii, o výnimočnej kariére i neférových klebetách, ktoré s ňou súviseli. Kniha je ilustrovaná vzácnymi fotografiami z rodinných albumov Jacksonovcov, Michaelových osobných archívov a kresbou, ktorú Michael nakreslil exkluzívne do tejto knihy – predstavuje pozoruhodnú cestu do samotného srdca a duše moderného hudobného génia.

      The "Complete Guide to Single Malt Scotch," now a classic reference, was the first book to give single malt scotch the systematic, in-depth treatment reserved for wine. This new edition will help you to discover the differences between the "lightly earthy, nutty" palate of the 10-year-old Fettercairn; the "elegant, dry" 10-year-old Glenfarclas; the "full, smooth" body of the 1971 Millburn; and the "sweetish, gingery, warming" finish of the 12-year-old Oban malts.

      5,0
    • Covers the career of a popular music legend from the child star whose infectious lead vocals catapulted the Jackson 5 into the spotlight, to the feeding frenzy that surrounded the announcement of a new tour in Summer 2009. Michael Jackson had charisma. He was a flamboyant, a dazzling performer who owned the stage. His death rang down the curtain on a turbulent life, but did not end his reign as the King of Pop. He lives on through his extraordinary catalogue, which will ensure that his regal status is maintained.
