Almost everything you know about Mickey Mouse is wrong: He wasn’t Disney’s first star; Steamboat Willie wasn’t his first movie; Mickey wasn’t a nice guy - and Walt Disney didn’t invent him. In 1928, two very different best friends invented Mickey Mouse. And the success tore them apart. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks’ friendship is a story of betrayal, love, war, money, power, tragedy, intrigue, humor, despair, and hope. You’ll love them both - when you don’t want to drop anvils on their heads.

In 1948, New Orleans veteran trumpeter and singer Louis Prima stumbled into a young girl named Keely Smith. She was barely a performer at all, almost half his age, destined for a relatively quiet life; their encounter was pure coincidence. But they went on to invent The Wildest, the most exciting and successful lounge act Las Vegas has ever seen, an act that became one of the hottest in the U.S. in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Thomas Dolby's hit songs "She Blinded Me with Science" and "Hyperactive!" catapulted him to international fame in the early '80s. A pioneer of New Wave and Electronica, Thomas combined a love for invention with a passion for music, and the result was a new sound that defined an era of revolutionary music. But as record company politics overshadow the joy of performing, Thomas finds a surprising second act.

Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Mauricio Segura’s Oscar evokes periods across time, from the Depression-era Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy to the swinging cabarets of the 1950s, while offering a reflection on the bonds between an artist and the Caribbean diaspora from which he comes. But above all, Oscar is a poignant homage to a musical giant, a man who changed the face of jazz forever.

Guided by Voices was one of the most popular indie-rock bands of the 1990s. Critics internationally have lauded the band's brain trust, Robert Pollard, as a once-in-a-generation artist. Pollard has been compared by The New York Times to Mozart, Rossini, and Paul McCartney (in the same sentence) and everyone from P. J. Harvey, Radiohead, R.E.M., the Strokes, and U2 has sung his praises and cited his music as an influence. But it all started rather prosaically.

Nella ricerca di Massimo Recalcati nei territori della psiche, da decenni l'arte occupa un posto centrale. È a essa, e in particolare alla pittura, che Recalcati torna continuamente, immergendosi nella profondità della dimensione creativa per mettere alla prova e temprare gli strumenti teorici della psicanalisi lacaniana.

Trecento tacchini d'allevamento duettano con un cantante e finiscono in un disco. Un branco di lupi "ricama" sul riff di una chitarra e finisce in un altro disco. E il delicato coro delle feroci orche marine in altro ancora. Assurdo? No, perché le vie della musica, popolare o colta che sia, complessa o semplicissima, che provenga da strumenti musicali o dalla voce, anche da quella animale, sono davvero infinite, spesso sorprendenti.

La storia d'Italia è anche geografia: quella delle nostre città così ricche di monumenti, palazzi e scorci, connessi da un intrico di vie sotterranee che sono una metafora dei percorsi della nostra memoria. In questo dedalo ci accompagna Hans Tuzzi, guida d'eccezione alla scoperta dei segreti di quattro città italiane servite dalla metropolitana: Roma, Milano, Napoli, Torino. Attraversiamo le vie della Roma dei Cesari, saliamo a piazza di Spagna, "la più bella del mondo" per Gabriele D'Annunzio, teatro degli amori di Elena Muti e Andrea Sperelli.

Incontriamo, nella storia d'Italia, una lunga serie di sovrani di ogni genere - papi, re, duchi - grazie ai quali la penisola è stata costellata di regge e residenze prestigiose. Grandi architetti come Juvarra, Vanvitelli e Piermarini, affiancati da letterati e da artisti, hanno contribuito a trasporre sul piano della progettazione, dell'estetica, della decorazione le esigenze politiche e di autocelebrazione dei loro committenti.

In "Society's Child," you'll journey with Janis as she spends time with luminaries of the century-Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin-singers and songwriters who both influenced and befriended her. Her book takes an unblinking look at the music business, her own remarkable path through it, and what was really happening backstage-with honesty and integrity.

From breakout stand-up comedian Iliza Shlesinger comes a subversively funny collection of essays and observations on a confident woman's approach to friendship, singlehood, and relationships. "Girl Logic" is Iliza's term for the way women obsess over details and situations that men don't necessarily even notice. She describes it as a characteristically female way of thinking that appears to be contradictory and circuitous but is actually a complicated and highly evolved way of looking at the world.

The first ever autobiography of this truly international legend, written with all the trademark style, candour, charm, and wit he has brought to stage and screen over his long and illustrious career.

With personal anecdotes about such luminaries as Noel Coward, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Cary Grant, and Sean Connery, and memories from the heyday of Hollywood, this frank, funny and charming autobiography is packed with wonderful stories.

戦場という，神なき終末世界を作ったのは人間に他ならない．画家の眼は戦争の真実をどのように捉えて表現に結びつけたのか．そしてそれらはなぜ私たちの心を打つのか．

Em um momento no qual conceitos como “Colonialidade”, “Descolonialidade”, “Decoloniedade” e “Contracolonialidade” estão na ordem do dia, Olivier Marboeuf, em Fugas Decoloniais, foge de explicações estereotipadas e lugares-comuns acadêmicos. Com uma análise arguta e inteligente, pautada em sólidas referências, o autor apresenta, através de “lições” e “conversas”, como as estratégias da cultura e da economia neoliberal se esforçam por manter as estruturas das esferas coloniais.

Si la música amansa las fieras, la sabihondez musical ablanda los corazones más refractarios a las delicias del amor. Ésa es la tesis de este audiolibro, una obra sin igual en la historia de la autoayuda inconfesable. Máximo Pradera, vihuelista en excedencia y seductor contumaz, nos cuenta aquí los secretos del método que tantos éxitos le ha dado en la palestra del comercio carnal. El señor Pradera es bien conocido por su ingenio, su humor incombustible y su impertinencia, virtudes justamente recompensadas con un regimiento de admiradores y una legión de enemigos acorazados...

約400年にわたり，大西洋を航海した奴隷船．「裸の移住者」としてアメリカ大陸に連行された人々は，いかにしてアフリカの声と音の伝統を再創造し，次世代へと繋いでいったのか．

If the West had its Swinging Sixties, Hindi cinema had its Seventies. Everything that journalists today call 'retro' when referring to Bollywood is a product of the 1970s. But to refer to the decade as 'swinging' and 'retro' is missing the wood for the trees. The 1970s is the most influential decade of Hindi cinema. Not the 1950s, not the 1960s which unapologetic nostalgists hark back to.

Un bambino come tanti: silenzioso, non bello, con grandi occhi pieni di domande. Dal momento in cui il mondo si accorge di lui, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart non avrà più pace. Per farlo dovrà però rinunciare alla spensieratezza, alle amicizie, agli amori e persino alla salute, mentre per restare nell'orbita della sua vita eccezionale coloro che lo amano, come la sorella Nannerl e la madre Anna, si sacrificheranno fino ad annullarsi.
