Imogen EdwardsJones Knihy

Viete, čo majú spoločné Američania a Japonci ? Záľubu vo "vankúši navyše", ako sa cudne hovorí dámskej spoločnosti na hotelovej izbe /Rusi si vozia prostitútky rovno so sebou/. A vedeli ste, že najlakomejší na prepitné bývajú Francúzi ? Vitajte vo svete výstredných ropných magnátov, neurotických modeliek, bohatých vdov s tými najprotivnejšími psíkmi, arabských šejkov, ktorí nevedia čo s peniazmi a zásadne vstávajú až po obede, či svetových celebrít najrôznejšieho kalibru. Všetko, čo sa o nich dočítate je pravda. Autori zmenili len mená. Všetky postavy sú presne také, ako ich spoznal anonymný manažér, ktorý strávil takmer celý život v najprepychovejších londýnskych hoteloch. Z pochopiteľných dôvodov sa príbeh odohráva vo fiktívnom hoteli Babylon. Všetko ostatné je ako má byť. Bohatí míňajú nechutné sumy peňazí, hotel zarába nechutné sumy peňazí a chyžné sa ešte vždy hádajú s poslíčkami o dvojlibrovú mincu...

And when the guests are some of the richest and most demanding people in the world, where do you find the energy every day to smile, smile and smile again? Beach Babylon takes you behind the scenes at a five-star tropical island resort. Do all the stories which take place behind the closed doors of the exclusive spa have happy endings? What do the world's richest people expect from room service during their fortnight in paradise? What does the windsurfing instructor do to keep sane after hours? In the bestselling tradition of her previous Babylon books, Imogen Edwards-Jones investigates the rivalries and alliances between the staff at a resort where pandering to the guests' most extravagant whims is de rigueur. With a cast of millionaires, celebrities, hangers-on and prostitutes, Beach Babylon takes you to a world where extreme luxury is the norm and where excess somehow isn't always enough...
