18 mesi. È il tempo durante il quale Shaun Ellis ha rinunciato alle comodità, alla famiglia, alla società di cui faceva parte per vivere con i lupi. Per diventare membro effettivo di un branco, ha cacciato con loro, ha affondato la testa nella carcassa della preda per mangiarne la carne, non si è lavato per mesi se non in qualche pozzanghera, ha imparato a comunicare ululando e a difendersi riconoscendo suoni e odori. Dall'infanzia fino all'attuale impegno in un parco del Devon, questo naturalista d'altri tempi ci racconta nel libro le straordinarie vicende che lo hanno portato a passare un anno e mezzo in cattività assieme a tre cuccioli abbandonati dalla madre, per mostrare loro come diventare veri lupi e sopravvivere. E diventando, a tutti gli effetti, un vero uomo-lupo.

Degli anni Sessanta si dice che chi li ricorda non li ha vissuti davvero. Pattie Boyd li ricorda eccome, ma nessuno più di lei si può dire che li abbia vissuti. In tutta la loro intensità, al fianco di due tra i suoi protagonisti più geniali: George Harrison ed Eric Clapton. Amici accomunati e mai divisi dalla passione bruciante per la musica e per Pattie, per la quale scriveranno capolavori senza tempo come "Something", "Layla" e "Wonderful tonight". "Wonderful today" è il racconto idelle passioni e delle sofferenze che hanno segnato un dei triangoli amorosi più straordinari della storia del rock. Pattie porta il lettore in casa Harrison e Clapton, e racconta gli eccessi di una stagione creativa e libera come mai, che però presenterà un conto salatissimo da pagare. Sullo sfondo, il Kenya, i Beatles, i Rolling Stones e naturalmente la sua carriera di top model al fianco delle grandi del secolo, in un lungo percorso di redenzione attraverso la fotografia, compagna di una vita, da una parte e dall'altra dell'obiettivo. Con un inserto fotografico di 32 pagine.

While the tabloids eagerly lapped up the lurid details of his parents’ divorce,William lived painfully though it, suffering the embarrassment,the humiliation, and divided loyalties.

In the last thirty years, Penny Junor has written extensively about his parents and the extended family into which he was born. With the trust built up over that time, she has been able to get closer to the answers than ever before.

Profiles the eldest son of Great Britain's Prince Charles, discussing his early childhood, his close relationship with his late mother, Princess Diana, his years at university, and his recent marriage to Kate Middleton.

What would compel a man to place himself in constant danger in order to become a member of a wolf pack? To eat with them, putting his head into a carcass alongside the wolves' gnashing teeth? To play, hunt, and spar with them, suffering bruises and bites? To learn their language so his howl is indistinguishable from theirs? To give up a normal life of relationships and family so that he can devote himself completely to the protection of these wild animals?

In The Man Who Lives with Wolves, Shaun Ellis reveals how his life irrevocably changed the first time he set eyes on a wolf. In exhilarating prose, he takes us from his upbringing in the wilds of Norfolk, England, to his survival training with British Army Special Forces to the Nez Percé Indian lands in Idaho, where he first ran with a wolf pack for nearly two years.

Offering an extraordinary look into the lives of these threatened, misunderstood creatures, Ellis shares how he ate raw kill–and little else; washed rarely, and only in plain water; learned to bury his face into the carcasses of prey–and, when necessary, to defend his share of the kill; communicated with the pack by his howls and body language, which over time became seemingly identical to theirs; and observed from this unique vantage point how wolves give birth to and raise their young, and enforce order among the pack.

After years of living in the wild, Shaun Ellis was barely able to recognize the feral face that stared back at him from the mirror. And in The Man Who Lives with Wolves, we discover the life of a rare and fascinating man who abandoned civilization but never lost touch with his humanity.

An iconic figure of the 1960s and ’70s, Pattie Boyd breaks a forty-year silence in Wonderful Tonight, and tells the story of how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most famous muse in the history of rock and roll.

She describes the dynamics of the group, the friendships, the tensions, the musicmaking, and the weird and wonderful memories she has of Paul and Linda, Cynthia and John, Ringo and Maureen, and especially the years with her husband, George.

It was a sweet, turbulent life, but one that would take an unexpected turn, starting with a simple note that began “dearest l.”

I read it quickly and assumed that it was from some weirdo; I did get fan mail from time to time.... I thought no more about it until that evening when the phone rang. It was Eric [Clapton]. “Did you get my letter?”... And then the penny dropped. “Was that from you?” I said....It was the most passionate letter anyone had ever written me.

For the first time Pattie Boyd, former wife of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, a high-profile model whose face epitomized the swinging London scene of the 1960s, a woman who inspired Harrison’s song “Something” and Clapton’s anthem “Layla,” has decided to write a book that is rich and raw, funny and heartbreaking—and totally honest and open and breathtaking.
