Hunter Davies Książki

Książka ta jest autoryzowaną biografią The Beatles, która pozostaje jedynym takim dziełem na temat tej legendarnej grupy popowej. Hunter Davies, jako pierwszy autor z nieograniczonym dostępem do wszystkich czterech członków, spędził osiemnaście miesięcy w latach 1967-68, gdy zespół był na szczycie, zbierając materiał, który według Marshalla McLuhana stanowi "dokument naszego wieku". Oprócz rozmów z Beatlesami, autor rozmawiał także z ich bliskimi przyjaciółmi i współpracownikami, co wzbogaca jego fascynujące opowieści o grupie w czasie jej największego sukcesu. Davies pozostał w kontakcie z Beatlesami także po wydaniu pierwotnej książki, co pozwoliło mu dodać rozdział o rozpadu zespołu i losach jego członków, w tym o śmierci Johna Lennona. Autor reflektuje również nad trwałym wpływem Beatlesów na miliony ludzi oraz podsumowuje, co wydarzyło się z członkami zespołu po ostatnim wydaniu, w tym śmierć George'a Harrisona. To lektura niezbędna dla wszystkich fanów Beatlesów, zarówno tych starszych, jak i nowych.

Hunter Davies, the only ever authorized biographer of the group, brings together three eminent Beatles experts to compile an invaluable and essential guide. Divided into four sections—People, Songs, Places and Broadcast & Cinema—the book covers every element of the band’s history. Illustrated with material from Hunter's remarkable private collection of personal artifacts and memorabilia, this compendium is an beautiful, insightful and entertaining treasure for any Beatles fan.

The classic inside view of soccer. Hailed as probably the best book about soccer ever written, 'The Glory Game' gives a unique insight into the inner workings of a major-league soccer club.

Originally stetching across the neck of England for over seventy miles, Hadrian's Wall is the most important Roman monument in Britain. Set in a wild, dramatic landscape, it is now a World Heritage Site, one of the wonders of the world, and stands as a reminder of the past glories of a mighty civilisation. Hunter Davies grew up at one end of the wall and was inevitably drawn to walk its length. His charming, part history, part guidebook and part personal experience, portrays the area and its inhabitants as they are today, and gives readers a taste of what life was like in this remote part of Britain 2000 years ago.

The nation has commented on and devoured Paul Gascoigne for years. They read his story. But not until now has anyone ever known what it is really like to wake every morning and be Gazza. What lies behind the cheeky grin, jokes and tears? Here Gascoigne, in the company of his therapist, confronts his demons and takes the reader into the recesses of his mind. The triggers that created explosive genius on the pitch, outrageous antics off it and at times plunged Gascoigne into dark despair are revealed together with the critical moments that influenced his alcoholism, depression, drug abuse, gambling, eating disorders and compulsive behaviour. This is more than the story of one man. It applies to people who face turmoil every day. Recognising a problem and seeking help is the hardest step. Through self-assessment forms and expert advice, any reader who sees a mirror of themselves will be offered help and a way forward. There has never been a book like this. Because there has never been a man like Paul Gascoigne.

Recession, depression, stagflation, deflation — no matter what you call it, it’s not a new thing. Throughout history, economic downturns have forced people to economize, often in what, to modern sensibilities, are mighty peculiar ways. This book looks back at a hundred years of belt-tightening tips from books, magazines, government agencies, and assorted do-gooders. Some of the hints and advice are mystifying, but all are part of social history, and many are as useful today as they were in granny’s day.

Vor knapp 50 Jahren verfasste Hunter Davies die einzige Biografie über die Beatles, an der die Band aktiv mitgewirkt hat. Dafür begleitete er die Fab Four über Jahre und sprach mit Eltern, Freunden und Weggefährten. Für »Get Back« kehrt er zurück zu seinen umfangreichen Notizen aus dieser Zeit und macht die wegweisenden frühen Jahre von John, Paul, George und Ringo neu erfahrbar. Aus Gesprächen, Erinnerungen und bislang unveröffentlichtem Material entsteht das intime Porträt von vier Jungs aus Liverpool, deren Kindheit wie die von so vielen aus ihrer Genration von Krieg, Entbehrung und Aufbruch geprägt war, und die wenig später gemeinsam Musik und Popkultur revolutionierten.
