Klaus Pagh er kongen af morskabsteater i Danmark. Han har kendt alle, der var noget ved komikken, og som revydirektør var det ham selv, der gjorde mange af dem til stjerner. Han var tæt på Dirch Passer og Jørgen Ryg, og i sine erindringer deler han gavmildt ud af morsomme og tragiske historier, der aldrig før er blevet fortalt. Som ung skuespiller blev Klaus Pagh berømt som "Danmarks James Dean". Hver dag modtog han så mange fanbreve, at hans mormor og morfar blev sat til at besvare dem.

2019 er 500-året for Leonardo da Vincis død og interessen for renæssancegeniet er vakt påny. Videnskabshistorikeren Carl Henrik Koch har tidligere skrevet roste biografier om tænkere som Pascal og Spinoza, og dette er kronen på et livslangt værk. Renæssancemennesket Leonardo da Vinci er til stadighed en gåde og inspirationskilde for mange. I én og samme person forenede han et virke som kunstner, som videnskabsmand og som filosof. Han efterlod sig værker som Mona Lisa og Den sidste nadver, banebrydende studier i den menneskelige anatomi og skitser til nogle af det 19. og 20.

My Dalek Has Another Puncture is Simon Fisher-Becker’s second book in his autobiographical trilogy. An honest and inspiring account of his life after Doctor Who, the audiobook takes us on a switchback ride of auditions, castings, filming, and recording as Simon meets old friends and makes new ones while taking Dorium Maldovar, the bald blue intergalactic black-marketer, around the world to meet his fans. Natural raconteur Simon relates both tragedies and triumphs with refreshing honesty.

Simon Fisher-Becker is a stalwart of stage and screen and recently found further fame thanks to his appearance in Dr. Who as bright blue black marketeer Dorium Maldovar. My Dalek Has a Puncture is a frank, no-holds-barred look at Simon's life and work, read by Simon himself. We hesitate to call it an autobiography, as it is in equal parts educational, informative, motivational, and heart-breaking.

One of the world's most iconic performers, Elvis Presley died at the age of 42 from a heart attack complicated by years of drug use. By the time she turned 18, Frances Gumm had shot to stardom as Judy Garland, playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Sadly, at the age of 47, she died of a drug overdose. But imagine if the lives of these icons had not been cut short by drugs? These vividly imaginative "biographies" are thoughtful, honest, heartfelt—and entirely within the realm of possibility, as the authors engage in an intriguing exercise of “What if...?”

"Blowin' in the wind", "All along the watchtower", "Knockin' on heaven's door" – seine Songs besitzen eine poetische Kraft, für die er mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur geehrt wurde. Nun legt Bob Dylan ein Buch vor, in dem er nicht auf sein eigenes Werk zurückblickt, sondern auf mehr als 60 Songs, die ihn beeindruckt und geprägt haben. Mysteriös und magisch, präzise und profund, oft auch sehr witzig legt er die Substanz jedes Songs frei und meditiert dabei in unnachahmlich dylanesker Diktion über das menschliche Leben und den fragwürdigen Zustand unserer Welt.

Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank takes a fair and balanced look at the unsettling rise of the silly Fox News host Glenn Beck. Thomas Jefferson famously wrote that the tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. In America in 2010, Glenn Beck provides the very refreshment Jefferson had in mind: Whether he's the patriot or the tyrant, he's definitely full of manure.
