WITH BILLIE(ISBN=9780375705809) 英文原版
Few jazz singers have become icons like Billie Holiday. In With Billie , we hear the voices of those people who knewBillie best: piano players and dancers, pimps and junkies, loversand narcs, producers and critics, each recalling intimate storiesof the Billie they knew. What emerges is a portrait of a complex,contradictory, enthralling woman, a woman who — contrary to myth —knew what she wanted and what really mattered to her. JuliaBlackburn has pieced together an oral history of this jazz great,creating a unique and fascinating view of an astonishingwoman.

Book De*ion The bestselling author of Into the Wild, Into Thin Air, and Underthe Banner of Heaven delivers a stunning, eloquent account of aremarkable young man’s haunting journey. Like the men whose epic stories Jon Krakauer has told in hisprevious bestsellers, Pat Tillman was an irrepressibleindividualist and iconoclast. In May 2002, Tillman walked away fromhis $3.6 million NFL contract to enlist in the United States Army.He was deeply troubled by 9/11, and he felt a strong moralobligation to join the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Twoyears later, he died on a desolate hillside in southeasternAfghanistan. Though obvious to most of the two dozen soldiers on the scenethat a ranger in Tillman’s own platoon had fired the fatal shots,the Army aggressively maneuvered to keep this information fromTillman’s wife, other family members, and the American public forfive weeks following his death. During this time, President Bushrepeatedly invoked Tillman’s name to promote his a

NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST(ISBN=9780679748304) 英文原版
Nathan Bedford Forrest was the only soldier to rise from therank of private to general during the U.S. Civil War. At once "asoft-spoken gentleman of marked placidity and an overbearing bullyof homicidal wrath," Forrest is best remembered for the combinationof brilliant military leadership and flamboyant bravery that drovehis Confederate cavalry troops from victory to victory on thebattlefield. His subordinates feared him (he shot those who turnedtail), as did his enemies (he rarely lost a fight). General Shermanonce said that Forrest must be "hunted down and killed if it costs10,000 lives and bankrupts the [national] treasury." Detractorspoint out that Forrest never has been exonerated from the FortPillow massacre, in which many Union soldiers, most of them black,were slaughtered after attempting to surrender. Following the war,he went on to found the Ku Klux Klan. Late in life, however,Forrest disavowed racial hatred and called for black politicaladvancement. Author Jack Hurst has written the essentia

LOCUST AND THE BIRD, THE(ISBN=9780307472311) 英文原版
While I was reading Hanan Al Shaykh’s new book, The Locustand the Bird , my regret as an author was not to have knownKamila, Hanan’s mother, the extravagant narrator of this book. Whata woman! What a storyteller! She reminds me of my belovedgrandmother (who is in many of my books), and many other women ofher generation that I knew, who were manipulative in order tosurvive, who lied in order to establish the truth, and, most ofall, so full of life and passion. When I finished the book I hadone major thought: this book needs to be made into a movie, butthis is the kind of story one needs to be a real Lebanese in orderto turn it into a movie. That was my other regret as a movie maker.But most of all I felt extremely lucky to spend time with someoneso intelligent, full of humor and love. --MarjaneSatrapi

Yet,sunsets are still magical and the old fences and ruined cabinsstill have stories to tell.

Its success was a truetriumph of the human spirit. No one did more to make it happen thanGerry Adams. A Farther Shore tells you why. It is gripping, moving,and on the money.” —Congressman Peter King, co-chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee forIrish Affairs “The refusal to acknowledge the roots of con?ict guarantees itsperpetuation, whether in Ireland, in Iraq, or on our own shores.Thankfully there are voices—and Gerry Adams will always be amongthem—who are prepared to penetrate the silence.
