Publikace představuje pozoruhodný portrét světově proslulé řecké sopranistky Marie Callasové, jedné z nejslavnějších operních pěvkyní dvacátého století. Americká spisovatelka Anne Edwardsová, známá svými životopisnými knihami (např. o princezně Dianě, zpěvačce Barbře Streisandové ad.), podává důvěrný příběh života Marie Callasové, největší osobnosti ve světě opery 20. století. Vypráví o její velké lásce k hudbě i k mužům a odkrývá její skutečnou tvář. Tvář fascinující a houževnaté ženy. Autorka zachycuje soukromý život velké operní divy a její strmou uměleckou cestu od studijních let v Aténách až po umělecký vrchol na nejslavnějších operních scénách světa. Dotýká se rovněž jejích spletitých vztahů s italským režisérem Viscontim, řeckým rejdařem Onassisem i s jejím o třicet let starším manželem Meneghinim a líčí zajímavé i méně známé skutečnosti z jejího života. Přestože tato vzácná operní pěvkyně působila poměrně krátce, její význam je trvalý. Publikace je doplněna černobílými fotografiemi.

Given total access to Miss Leigh’s personal letters, and working with the cooperation of those who had been closest to her, Anne Edwards has produced a frank, open book that does not spare the truth, yet is as romantic a canvas, as turbulent and moving a story as any of the great films in which Vivien ever starred.

First published in 1986 and nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, Early Reagan is still the most in-depth portrayal of the pre-government years of the late president. The book uncovers Reagan s formative years: childhood poverty, film stardom, and his politicization via the Screen Actors Guild. Anne Edwards interviewed more than two hundred people important in the life of Reagan as well as those of his two wives, Jane Wyman and Nancy Davis. The book concludes with Reagan s entry into politics in 1966, when he announced his candidacy for Governor of California in the living room of his hilltop San Onofre home. As the late historian Barbara Tuchman noted, For anyone who wants to know about the circumstances . . . that formed Ronald Reagan into a political figure, this is the book to read. "

"I'm three and you're four," the future Queen, then a child, imperiously informed her sister. The younger girl, not understanding this reference to their position in the succession, proudly countered, "No, you're not. I'm three, you're seven." The royal sisters had no choice in their historic positions, but behind the palace gates and within the confines of their personalities, they displayed tremendous individuality and suffered the usual symptoms of sibling rivalry. Edwards's book is an honest look at how the royal sisters feel toward each other, their parents, their close relations and the men whom they have loved. It openly discusses the romance of Elizabeth and Philip and the tragic aborted love affair between Margaret and Group Captain Peter Townsend, and it has a cast of characters ranging from the youthful sisters' suitors to Winston Churchill and the entire Royal Family. It is also the story of the making of a queen, of the high drama of her situation in the Townsend affair, of the real effect their uncle's abdication had on the sisters' lives, and of the internecine feuds that have brewed within the Royal Family since that time.
