Over a million copies sold in the English language. Published in 23 foreign languages. `A heartfelt memoir . . . there is a fearlessness to his prose, a willingness to engage with his past, that chimes with his songwriter's desire to give voice to the people around him' Sunday Times ""Writing about yourself is a funny business...But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this."" -Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as ""The Big Bang"": seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song ""Born to Run"" reveals more than we previously realized.Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star's memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (""Thunder Road,"" ""Badlands,"" ""Darkness on the Edge of Town,"" ""The River,"" ""Born in the U.S.A.,"" ""The Rising,"" and ""The Ghost of Tom Joad,"" to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.",1471157792,9781471157790,$0.99,528,"Simon & Schuster Ltd",2016,,"{ ""21"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 21, ""category_2.id"": 1, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" }, ""73"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 73, ""category_2.id"": 4, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Composers & Musicians,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" }, ""226"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 226, ""category_2.id"": 10, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Personal Memoirs,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" } }","{ ""21"": { ""book_image.id"": 21, ""book_image.path"": ""/74/59/89/e5/745989e5ab5407f34a1bfd3546dc77e62a0f9d96.gif"", ""book_image.media_1"": ""https://songer.datasn.com/data/api/v1/u_bc75445a318997106583/book_3/main/book_image//74/59/89/e5/745989e5ab5407f34a1bfd3546dc77e62a0f9d96.gif"" } }" 22,"2017-11-22 22:36:44","Into the Wild","By examining the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man, who in 1992 walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later, internationally bestselling author Jon Krakauer explores the obsession which leads some people to explore the outer limits of self, leave civilization behind and seek enlightenment through solitude and contact with nature.

Matisse's success threatened Picasso so much that his friends would throw darts at a portrait of his rival's beloved daughter Marguerite, shouting 'there's one in the eye for Matisse!'

One of the few photojournalists with experience in Afghanistan, she gets the call to return and cover the American invasion. She makes a decision she would often find herself making - not to stay home, not to lead a quiet or predictable life, but to risk her life, to set out across the world, and to make a name for herself as one of a new generation of journalists created by the War on Terror. It's What I Do follows a course unavoidable for Addario - from her first camera and the pictures it inspired, to early years as a street photographer and the inspiration she found in the work of Sebastiao Salgado. Photography becomes a way for her to travel with a purpose - a singular ambition that shapes and drives her. From Afghanistan to Iraq to Darfur to Libya, Addario finds in photography not only the artistic medium to convey people's stories, but the power to change political policy by showing its consequences. As a woman photojournalist determined to be taken seriously, Addario fights her way into a boy's club of a profession, eventually earning widespread recognition. Refusing to turn down career-defining assignments, she puts romance and family on hold. Yet the sadness and injustice she encounters as a conflict reporter give her a new vision for her own life, and the more she sees of the world, the greater her desires for love and family grow. It's What I Do is also the story of how Addario met her husband and father to their child, and how as a war correspondent and a mother, she learned to live her life in two different - though hardly separate - worlds. Watching uprisings unfold and people fight to the death for their freedom, Addario understands she is documenting not only news but also the fate of society.

Mr.Lankford proposes a great many insights...With immediacy and grace, Becoming Leonardo starts on a high note and gets better to the very end. ""-- WALL STREET JOURNAL Why did Leonardo Da Vinci leave so many of his major works uncompleted? Why did this resolute pacifist build war machines for the notorious Borgias? Why did he carry the Mona Lisa with him everywhere he went for decades, yet never quite finish it? Why did he write backwards, and was he really at war with Michelangelo? And was he gay? In a book unlike anything ever written about the Renaissance genius, Mike Lankford explodes every cliche about Da Vinci and then reconstructs him based on a rich trove of available evidence--bringing to life for the modern reader the man who has been studied by scholars for centuries, yet has remained as mysterious as ever. Seeking to envision Da Vinci without the obscuring residue of historical varnish, the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of Renaissance Italy--usually missing in other biographies--are all here, transporting readers back to a world of war and plague and court intrigue, of viciously competitive famous artists, of murderous tyrants with exquisite tastes in art .... Lankford brilliantly captures Da Vinci's life as the compelling and dangerous adventure it seems to have actually been--fleeing from one sanctuary to the next, somehow surviving in war zones beside his friend Machiavelli, struggling to make art his way or no way at all ... and often paying dearly for those decisions. It is a thrilling and absorbing journey into the life of a ferociously dedicated loner, whose artwork in one way or another represents his noble rebellion, providing inspiration that is timeless.",1612195954,9781612195957,"$20.74 $28.99",,"Melville House Publishing",2017,English,"{ ""35"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 35, ""category_2.id"": 2, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Artists, Architects, & Photographers,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" } }","{ ""34"": { ""book_image.id"": 34, ""book_image.path"": ""/de/2e/48/37/de2e4837cea463393bc64071341aef320ab9fe28.gif"", ""book_image.media_1"": ""https://songer.datasn.com/data/api/v1/u_bc75445a318997106583/book_3/main/book_image//de/2e/48/37/de2e4837cea463393bc64071341aef320ab9fe28.gif"" } }" 36,"2017-11-22 22:37:14","Short Nights of the Shadow...","How a lone man's epic obsession led to one of America's greatest cultural treasures: Prize-winning writer Timothy Egan tells the riveting, cinematic story behind the most famous photographs in Native American history -- and the driven, brilliant man who made them.",0544102762,9780544102767,"$11.66 $15.95",,"Mariner Books",2013,English,"{ ""36"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 36, ""category_2.id"": 2, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Artists, Architects, & Photographers,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" } }","{ ""35"": { ""book_image.id"": 35, ""book_image.path"": ""/9c/3a/fb/6c/9c3afb6cd83cea60f1bdcc665fe605936cb5efb7.gif"", ""book_image.media_1"": ""https://songer.datasn.com/data/api/v1/u_bc75445a318997106583/book_3/main/book_image//9c/3a/fb/6c/9c3afb6cd83cea60f1bdcc665fe605936cb5efb7.gif"" } }" 37,"2017-11-22 22:37:17","Daily Rituals: How Artists...","""How artists work, how they ritualize their days with the comforting (mundane) details of their lives: their daily routines, fears, dreams, naps, eating habits, and other prescribed, finely calibrated ""subtle maneuvers""""--",0307273601,9780307273604,"$18.14 $24.95",,"Knopf Publishing Group",2013,English,"{ ""37"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 37, ""category_2.id"": 2, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Artists, Architects, & Photographers,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" }, ""5860"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 5860, ""category_2.id"": 7, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Literary,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" } }","{ ""36"": { ""book_image.id"": 36, ""book_image.path"": ""/c3/51/32/ca/c35132ca413a8762e666a24ccb68a605e2df51fe.gif"", ""book_image.media_1"": ""https://songer.datasn.com/data/api/v1/u_bc75445a318997106583/book_3/main/book_image//c3/51/32/ca/c35132ca413a8762e666a24ccb68a605e2df51fe.gif"" } }" 38,"2017-11-22 22:37:19","Leonardo's Notebooks: Writing...","An all-new, jewel-like, reader-friendly format gives new life to this relaunch of an international best-seller.

Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip's maelstrom of drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, midnight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novel The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation. But the full story of Hemingway's legendary rise has remained untold until now. Lesley Blume resurrects the explosive, restless landscape of 1920s Paris and Spain and reveals how Hemingway helped create his own legend. He made himself into a death-courting, bull-fighting aficionado; a hard-drinking, short-fused literary genius; and an expatriate bon vivant. Blume's vivid account reveals the inner circle of the Lost Generation as we have never seen it before, and shows how it still influences what we read and how we think about youth, sex, love, and excess.

A recent French biography begins, Who doesn't know Nadar? In France, that's a rhetorical question. Of all of the legendary figures who thrived in mid-19th-century Paris--a cohort that includes Victor Hugo, Baudelaire, Gustave Courbet, and Alexandre Dumas--Nadar was perhaps the most innovative, the most restless, the most modern. The first great portrait photographer, a pioneering balloonist, the first person to take an aerial photograph, and the prime mover behind the first airmail service, Nadar was one of the original celebrity artist-entrepreneurs. A kind of 19th-century Andy Warhol, he knew everyone worth knowing and photographed them all, conferring on posterity psychologically compelling portraits of Manet, Sarah Bernhardt, Delacroix, Daumier and countless others--a priceless panorama of Parisian celebrity. Born Gaspard-Felix Tournachon, he adopted the pseudonym Nadar as a young bohemian, when he was a budding writer and cartoonist. Later he affixed the name Nadar to the facade of his opulent photographic studio in giant script, the illuminated letters ten feet tall, the whole sign fifty feet long, a garish red beacon on the boulevard. Nadar became known to all of Europe and even across the Atlantic when he launched ""The Giant,"" a gas balloon the size of a twelve-story building, the largest of its time. With his daring exploits aboard his humongous balloon (including a catastrophic crash that made headlines around the world), he gave his friend Jules Verne the model for one of his most dynamic heroes. The Great Nadar is a brilliant, lavishly illustrated biography of a larger-than-life figure, a visionary whose outsized talent and canny self-promotion put him way ahead of his time.",1101902604,9781101902608,"$14.21 $28.00",,"Tim Duggan Books","6/26/2017 12: 00: 00 AM",English,"{ ""41"": { ""category_2_x_book.id"": 41, ""category_2.id"": 2, ""category_2.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_2.title"": ""Artists, Architects, & Photographers,"", ""category_1.id"": 1, ""category_1.ts"": ""2017-11-23 04:13:22"", ""category_1.title"": ""Biography & Autobiography Books"" } }","{ ""39"": { ""book_image.id"": 39, ""book_image.path"": ""/9b/57/9d/4e/9b579d4e5a36da7079414a16604ede8f81b75314.gif"", ""book_image.media_1"": ""https://songer.datasn.com/data/api/v1/u_bc75445a318997106583/book_3/main/book_image//9b/57/9d/4e/9b579d4e5a36da7079414a16604ede8f81b75314.gif"" } }"
