Cu doar c?teva zile ?nainte de nunt?, Julia prime?te un telefon de la secretarul tat?lui s?u. A?a cum intuia, Anthony Walsh — om de afaceri str?lucit, dar tat? distant — nu va putea veni la ceremonie. Nu e prima oar? c?nd Anthony Walsh dispare brusc din via?a ei, bulvers?nd?o cu totul. De data aceasta ?ns?, Julia trebuie s? admit? c? scuza este imbatabil?: tat?l s?u a murit! A doua zi dup? ?nmorm?ntare, Julia descoper? ?ns? c? tat?l s?u ?i rezervase o alt? surpriz?. Cea mai neobi?nuit? c?l?torie din via?a ei... ?i ocazia de a??i spune, ?n sf?r?it, lucruri pe care nu ?i le?au spus niciodat?. Reg?sim ?n aceast? poveste atmosfera ?nc?rcat? de romantism ?i fantastic din ?i dac? e adev?rat, romanul care l-a f?cut celebru pe Marc Levy. Pentru cititorii francezi, Marc Levy ?ntruchipeaz? un destin de basm: ajuns t?rziu la literatur?, acest autor, pe c?t de discret, pe at?t de melancolic, s?a impus ?nc? din momentul ?n care primul s?u manuscris a ?nc?put pe m?na editorului, scenariul corespunz?tor fiind imediat cump?rat de compania de film a lui Steven Spielberg. Ast?zi, el a devenit la noi scriitorul cel mai popular. Secretul s?u? Un adev?rat sim? al povestirii, o extraordinar? capacitate de a capta mitologia timpurilor noastre, un romantism inalterabil care pune mai presus de orice o scriitur? eficace, foarte american?, ce merge direct la scop. Miracolele nu se explic?, se constat?. – Pascal Bruckner ?... un amestec de m?iestrie ?i suspans, ce te poart? cu precizie infailibil? ?ntr-o lume ?n care visele tale devin realitate.“ Le Parisien

New York State of Mind 1.0
New York State of Mind 1.0
Harris Rosen
¥0.01
A fascinating genuine narrative formed in the crucible of Golden Age Hip-Hop mindfulness. New York State of Mind 1.0, the 7th book in the series, provides you with a real flavour of the personalities, in all their raw forms, who breathed life into the streets of the city, taking the music to new heights and in radically new direc-tions.? Tragedy Khadafi is as real as it gets. Through impressive MC skills and a for-midable street reputation, he lived the life of an original hoodlum, surviving gun-shot wounds, stabbings and broken bones. The compelling lyrical message of Brand Nubian reflects on the group's identity as Five-Percenters and the philoso-phy of the Nation of Gods and Earth, while Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth arrived on the scene in the midst of a Hip-Hop impasse of sorts.? New York State of Mind 1.0 is a candid look deep inside the psyche of each and an examination of what makes them tick. Take a ride alongside them and learn how they made their mark in a generation.
