Flynn K: The Girl From Penny Lane

The Girl From Penny Lane

Die kompakte Ausgabe des zweibändigen Originals 
 „Unzählige Male wurde ich schon gebeten, eine Autobiografie zu schreiben, aber nie war die richtige Zeit dafür. Meist zog ich Kinder groß oder war auf Tournee – beides ist nicht ideal, wenn man sich über lange Strecken konzentrieren möchte. Das Einzige, was immer ging, egal ob zu Hause oder unterwegs, war Songs zu schreiben. Wenn Leute erst mal ein gewisses Alter erreicht haben, greifen sie gerne auf Tagebücher oder Terminkalender zurück, erinnern sich Tag für Tag an vergangene Ereignisse, aber solche Aufzeichnungen habe ich nicht. Was ich habe, sind meine Songs – hunderte – und eigentlich erfüllen sie denselben Zweck. Sie umspannen mein gesamtes Leben, weil ich schon mit vierzehn Jahren zuhause in Liverpool, als ich meine erste Gitarre bekam, instinktiv anfing, Songs zu schreiben. Seither habe ich nicht mehr aufgehört.“ 

 Paul McCartney 
 In diesem außergewöhnlichen Buch betrachtet Paul McCartney sein Leben und sein Werk im Prisma von 161 eigenen Songs. In alphabetischer Reihenfolge angeordnet, bilden diese Songs von den frühesten musikalischen Gehversuchen über Klassiker der Popgeschichte wie „Hey Jude“, „Yesterday“ oder „Let it Be“ bis hin zu jüngsten Kompositionen ein autobiographisches Kaleidoskop, in dem McCartney die Entstehungsgeschichten seiner Songs schildert, Menschen und Orte, die ihn beeinflusst haben, und was er heute über seine Lieder denkt. Auf diese Weise – ein Leben in Songs – ist ein vollkommen einzigartiges Musiker-Memoir entstanden, das Paul McCartneys Stimme und Persönlichkeit auf jeder Seite spürbar werden lässt. Bislang unbekannte Schätze aus McCartneys Privatarchiv – Skizzen, Briefe und vor allem Fotografien – machen „Lyrics“ auch optisch zu einem einmaligen Dokument über einen der erfolgreichsten Musiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Diese preisgünstige Paperback-Ausgabe in einem Band enthält als Zugabe sieben neue Songs, darunter „Bluebird“, „Hello, Goodbye“ und „Magical Mystery Tour“.

Introducing Rose Burnham: designer, dressmaker . . . detective? Rose had the sense of a thread being pulled. One tug and everything could unravel. South-east London, 1925. Talented, ambitious designer-dressmaker Rose Burnham knows well both the strains of her profession and the secrets it can yield. Newly established in her own business, she and her sisters are privy to the hushed conversations that unspool behind the fitting room's closed doors. So when a major client finds herself the victim of a deception, it is Rose she tells. Driven by the shortage of men following the Great War, Miss Holmes had engaged the services of a matrimonial agency, only to be cheated out of her inheritance by a fake suitor. Rose is determined to bring the swindler to justice. To begin with, playing the detective is a grand adventure, but as pressures mount and an old friend receives a troubling string of poison-pen letters, Rose discovers there is more to investigating - and these investigations - than she'd bargained for.

Miss Burnham and the Loose Thread

A fascinating account of the decline of an army from the triumph of victory in 1918 to defeat in 1940 and why this happened. A salutary warning for modern Britain.

'A compelling history.' - The Sunday Times
'Thought-provoking.' - The Spectator
'Interesting and well-researched.' - The Sunday Telegraph

A fascinating account of the decline of an army from the triumph of victory in 1918 to defeat in 1940 and why this happened. A salutary warning for modern Britain.

The British Army won a convincing series of victories between 1916 and 1918. But by 1939 the British Army was an entirely different animal. The hard-won knowledge, experience and strategic vision that delivered victory after victory in the closing stages of the First World War had been lost. In the inter-war years there was plenty of talking, but very little focus on who Britain might have to fight, and how. Victory to Defeat clearly illustrates how the British Army wasn't prepared to fight a first-class European Army in 1939 for the simple reason that as a country Britain hadn't prepared itself to do so. The failure of the army's leadership led directly to its abysmal performance in Norway and France in 1940. 
 
 Victory to Defeat is a captivating history of the mismanagement of a war-winning army. It is also a stark warning that we neglect to understand who our enemy might be, and how to defeat him, at the peril of our country. The British Army is now to be cut to its smallest size since 1714. Are we, this book asks, repeating the same mistakes again?

The British Army 1918–40

A gripping, darkly seductive fantasy set in Jazz Age Shanghai

Daughter of Calamity

'In Liverpool everybody wanted to be in a band. On every street corner and in every cellar there were young fellas practising with guitars. But it was rare to see any girls on the new Merseybeat scene. It was inevitable that we would find each other . . .' In the early '60s, four friends from Liverpool formed a band. But this is not the 'fab four' story we know. Mary, Sylvia, Valerie and Pamela - also known as The Liverbirds - were one of the world's first all-female rock'n'roll bands. At an early gig, backstage at the Cavern Club, a young John Lennon told them that 'girls don't play guitars'. But they took that as a challenge. Despite the early scepticism, they won over tough crowds, toured stadiums, recorded two hit albums, and played with the Kinks, Rolling Stones and Chuck Berry - all in the space of just five years. Now, the two surviving members of the band tell their incredible story in full for the first time - capturing a lost era of liberation and rock'n'roll, as they thrived in the vibrant Merseybeat music scene and formed a friendship that has endured through the decades. * 'A ton of Liverpudlian grit, good sense and wry humour.' - Daily Mail 'Warm and vivid . . . Stories like this one are vital to keep.' - Telegraph 'A powerful story, one that dances to its own distinctive beat.' - The Sunday Times

Our life in Britain's first female rock 'n' roll band

The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay

'This novel is one of his finest in a long and redoubtable oeuvre' William Boyd, New York Times From renowned author Paul Theroux comes a fascinating, atmospheric novel inspired by George Orwell's years in Burma There is a short period in everyone's life when his character is fixed forever . . . ' George Orwell Eric Blair stood out amongst his fellow police trainees in 1920s Burma. Nineteen years old, unusually tall, a diffident loner fresh from Eton, after five years spent in the narrow colonial world of the Raj - a decaying system steeped in overt racism and petty class-conflict - he would emerge as the George Orwell we know. Drawing on all his powers of observation and imagination, Paul Theroux brings Orwell's Burma years to radiant life, tracing the development of the young man's consciousness as he confronts the social, racial and class politics and the reality of Burma beyond. Through one writer, we come to understand another - and see how what Orwell called 'five boring years within the sound of bugles' were in fact the years that made him. One of John Irving's best books of the 21st century 'Thoroughly enjoyable . . . [Theroux's] approach is like that of a skilful, subtle barrister who patiently lays out his evidence, gradually ensnaring the reader' Times Literary Supplement 'Always a terrific teller of tales and conjurer of exotic locales' Sunday Times 'The most gifted, most prodigal writer of his generation' Jonathan Raban
