Christopher Andersen Reihenfolge der Bücher

"Diana's Boys revealed the powerful bond between the teenaged princes, and how it strengthened even more in the wake of their mother's tragic death. Now, twenty years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-nineties, Prince Charles is in his seventies, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. Andersen examines how the Queen's behind-the-scenes maneuvering to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image after Diana's death, and her expectations of William as the future king, played out. He questions whether the brothers' famously close relationship can survive Harry's departure from the Royal Family - the first time this has happened since their great-great-uncle King Edward abdicated the throne to marry a divorcâee. He delves into the impact sisters-in-law Kate and Meghan have had on each other as well as on their princes, and how marriage and fatherhood have changed the brothers and, in some ways, also driven a wedge between them. Andersen also looks with an honest eye at how the princes and their wives have been continuously buffeted by scandal - including headline-making allegations of bullying, racism, betrayal, and emotional abuse that has pushed more than one royal to the brink of self-destruction."--

On, šarmantní princ, který jednou usedne na anglický trůn, a ona, krásná neurozená dívka, která si získala jeho srdce.

Nezapomenutelná láska dvou hollywoodských hvězd - Katherine Hepburnové a Spencera Tracyho - se stala předmětem zkoumání Christophera Andersena, vyhlášeného redaktora časopisů Time a People. První úplný portrét dvou milovaných ikon Ameriky je napsán s profesionálním smyslem pro vyprávění i pro detail. Základem jejich vztahu byl smysl pro slušnost, díky němuž překonali i nevyváženost manželského trojúhelníku. Kniha umožňuje i pohled do zákulisí filmových ateliérů, kde se legenda Hepburnové a Tracyho zrodila.

"Funny, I don't feel like a legend." -- Barbra Streisand. She is a global icon and the ultimate diva, yet much of what we know about her is caricature: the Brooklyn girl who became a modern-day Nefertiti, the Oscar-winning actress and movie mogul, the greatest female singer, and a complex figure of philanthropy and controversy. Despite her fame, Streisand remains enigmatic, tantalizingly beyond reach. Christopher Andersen, known for his bestselling biographies, draws on important sources and eyewitness accounts to reveal a startling portrait of both the artist and the woman. Among the revelations are surprising details about her marriage to James Brolin and her many failed romances, including previously undisclosed relationships with Prince Charles and Dodi Fayed, as well as notable figures like Warren Beatty and Richard Gere. Andersen also provides a provocative inside look at her connection with Bill Clinton, their current relationship, and Hillary's feelings about Barbra. From her iconic performances in "Funny Girl" to her recording sessions, new insights illuminate her obsessive drive for perfection and her complex relationship with her son, Jason. Regardless of personal feelings towards her, Barbra remains a true American original.

Kniha vykresluje portrét amerického prezidenta G.W.Bushe (potomka jedné z hlavních politických rodin Ameriky) a jeho ženy Laury a sleduje jejich partnerství. Biografie přináší mnoho detailů ze života prvního páru - jejich rodiny, dětství, zájmy a studium, seznámení, osobní problémy, narození dětí, popis volební kampaně 2000 i informace o tom, jak se prezident a první dáma vyrovnávali se situací 11. září 2001 i se sérií krizí osobních, domácích i mezinárodních, které jejich vztah prověřily. Kniha má spád a není suchopárná, jedná se o typicky americkou love story.

Together, Bill and Hillary Clinton scaled the heights of power and prestige, only to have his wantonly reckless behaviour bring them to the brink of personal and political ruin. Despite the billions of words that have been written about Bill and Hillary, the true nature of their relationship remains a jealously guarded secret. Until now. Among the revelations: What really goes on in the private residence at the White House; never-before-known details of their courtship; from Barbra Streisand to Monica, the hundreds of women in Bill's life - and how Hillary has handled them; the heartbreaking toll the President's self-destructive acts have taken on both women, his wife, and daughter Chelsea. Sex, money, power, lies and scandal. Each has played a role in the making and unmaking of the Clinton legacy. Yet whatever the judgement of history, the continuing saga of Bill and Hillary is - above all else - a compelling, and unique love story.
