A child prodigy with a streak of independence and a genius for music. Michael Jackson has been a star for most of his young life. As the Jackson 5 in the 196os, Michael and his brothers stunned the world with their hip rock harmonizing. But it would be Michael's solo work that would catapult him to international fame as the supreme entertainer.

After hundreds of interview, celebrity biographer J. Randy Taraborelli tackles the rumors and innuendo that hover over the talented family from Gary, Indiana, and traces the real story behind Michael's extensive plastic surgery his bizzare publicity stunts; the mini Disneyland built for his private use, the exciting Motown days of chart-busting records and tours; the phenomenal solo success that has brought Michael undreamed-of wealth and also great personal pain; the shocking accusations leveled by La Toya against her father; the revelation made in the song written by his brother Jermaine; and the video with the all-too-controversial ending.

"Which was the real Virginia Woolf? What was she really like? Volume II of her letters, which, from cover, absorbs, enchants, and perplexes the reader, comes to an end with the mystery unsolved -- and wit the reader panting for Volume III..."
[Ellen Moers, SATURDAY REVIEW]

"This second of the projected six volumes lives up to all expectations, providing a fascinating, many faceted, private self-potrait of a remarkable woman."
[PUBLISHERS WEEKLY]

"Surely these letters would bear witness to a woman of brilliance, possibly genius."
[Melvin Maddocks, TIME]

If anything, the second volume of Woolf's correspondece is even more marveolus than the first."
[Keith Cushman LIBRARY JOURNAL]

T.S. Eliot, Nobel laurete, a great literary presence of the twentieth century, is reowned for his unique voice as poet, critic and dramatist. This first volume of his long-awaited correspondence covers the period from his childhood in St. Louis, Missouri, until the end of 1922, by which time he had settled in England, married, and published "The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock," The Sacred Wood, and "The Waste Land."

This volume includes all the significant extant letters Eliot wrote up to age 34 as well as many letters written to him by his family, friends, and contemporaries. Here are insight into his struggle to earn a living, to care for a wife who was frequently ill, edit a magazine, and become known as a critic poet. The social and intellectual milieu before and after World War I emerges in briilant views.

Much has been written about Eliot's work and comparatively little about his life. Such was his determination to maintain his privacy that commentators, however diligent, have been largely restricted to speculation. Now, with the publication of The Letters of T.S Eliot, we will have a self potrait, a form of autobiography.

Eliot's second wife and widow, Valerie Eliot, has assembled letters from collections, libraries, and on her own extensive archives. She has written a detailed introduction, annotated the letters throughout, and provided a chronological biographical commentary. She has also selected numeorous photographs of Eliot and his world, many of them shown publicly for the first time in this book.

Published on the centenary of Eliot's birth, this volume is the result of twenty years of devoted scholarship and research. It is a literaly landmark.

On hearing of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, there was an emotional outpouring of grief from millions across the world, but the love and regard ordinary people had for 'The People's Princess' was never in doubt. Diana was many things to many people -- tireless charity worker, style icon, loving mother to her two sons - and in Diana, Princess of Wales: A Tribute Tim Graham shows the many facets of her personality in a heartfelt acknowledgement of a remarkable woman.

From the moment the shy nineteen-year-old kindergarten teacher first stood in a ray of sunlight to have her photograph taken, the world recognized a new star. Seldom out of the newspaper, always in the news, the Princess used her sudden celebrity to fight for the causes she believed in-for the better understanding of Aids patients; against the use of landmines, where the devastation they wreak can be felt decades after they are put in place; for the care of terminally ill children, most particularly at the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital; these and hundreds of other causes benefited from her care and love.

Now, as a nation and the world pay their final respects with an intensity of feeling rarely experienced, Diana, Princess of Wales: A Tribute document in an intimate portrait the making of a legend.

'I want to go on living after my death. And therefore i am grateful to God for giving me this gift ... of expressing all that is in me.'

Thirteen-year-old Anne Frank, with her parents and sister and four other people, went into hiding in the sealed-off back rooms of an Amsterdam office Building in 1942, when the Nazi invaders intensified their persecution of Jews.

For two years they remained safe. In August 1944 they were betrayed. Anne died in the ghastly concentration camp at Belsen. All the others perished too, except her father.

Anne's astonishingly initimate diary was found by accident. With a touch of genius it records the strains of her unfolding womanhood, her falling in love, her unswerving faith in her religion. And it reveals the shining nobility of her spirit.

Now known and loved the world over through Stage, Screen and TV adaptations, or in translation, this touchingly human document remains timeless in its appeal.

This is the story of one of the most remarkable figures of the late twentieth century - Professor Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge genius who has earned an international reputation as the most brilliant theoritical physicist since Enstein. His book, A Brief History of Time, has sold 8 million copies worldwide and familiarized a whole generation with complex but intensely exciting scientific theories.

When Kitty Ferguson approached Stephen Hawking with the idea of writing a book about him and asked him to help her make certain she understood his theories, he agreed to do so and also supplied her with material about his childhood and life. This book is the splendid result.

It is not a biography per se. It is rather the story of one man's quest to find the 'Theory of Everything'. In these pages you will encounter a multitude of amazing paradoxes: Beginnings may be endings... Two great scientific theories taken together seem to give us nonsense... Empty space isn't empty... Black holes aren't black... Cruel circumstances can lead to happiness, although fame and success may not... and a man whose appearance inspires shock and pity takes us laughing to where the boundaries of space and time ought to be -- but are not.

In January 1952, two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on 'La Poderosa', the Powerful One; a 500cc Norton. One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Che Guevara.

Written eight years before the Cuban revolution, these are Che's diaries- full of disasters and discoveries, high drama, low comedy and laddish improvisations. During his travels through Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Venezuela, Che's main concerns are where the next drink is coming from, where the next bed is to be found and who might be around to share it.

Within a decade the whole world would know his name. His trip might have been the adventure of a lifetime - had his lifetime not turned into a much greater adventure.

During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions; her extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after have been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights and or her struggles. This collection of her writings and reflections, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time.

Complied and presented by father Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who knew Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center, Mother Teresa brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. A moving chronicle of her spiritual journey -- including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation -- these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true deark night of the soul.

Published to coincide with the tenth anniversary of her death, Mother Teresa is an intimate portrait of a woman whose life and work continue to be admired by millions of people.

Buku ini diterjemahkan dari kitab Nafahat al-Uns, sebuah karya paling monumental Abd al-Rahman Jami [817-898H/1414-1492M], seorang sufi agung yang tidak hanya dikenal di Timur [kalangan Muslim sendiri], tetapi juga di Barat [kaum orientalis pengkaji tasawuf]. Jami juga terkenal karena novel legendaris sepanjang zaman yang pernah ia buat, Yusuf dan Zulaikha. Kitab ini sejajar dengan sekian karya tentang tasawuf dan biografi tokoh Sufi yang pernah ditulis. Dibanding Hilyah al-Auliya, Tadzkirah al-Auliya, Thabaqat al Shufiyyah, ataupun Kasyful Mahjub, karya ini tentu saja tidak kalah menarik.

Dikemas dalam dua bagian, bagian pertama karya ini merupakan pengantar, memuat sembilan penjelasan mengenai doktrin-doktrin penting dalam dunia tasawuf. Nilai penting bagian ini, sebagi rujukan para pengkaji dan pegiat dunia sufi, terletak pada analisis penulis yang khas, tajam, detail dan informatif tentang: sumber ajaran tasawuf, frnomena tarekat, aliran-aliran sufi, serta ditambah pula dengan perspektif pribadi sang penulis sebagai pelaku tasawuf.

Yang terpenting adalah bagian kedua, karena memuat biografi 200 syekh sufi terkemuka selama kurun abad III H, mencakup sejarah kelahiran dan wafat mereka, perjalanan hidup, status kesufian [hal], maqam ruhani [maqamat], serta karamah-karamah mereka.

Menarik, Jami juga menyunting pelbagai aforisma dan kisah spiritual para syekh tersebut, serta menjelaskan bagian demi bagian, petuah-petuah mereka, sehingga kemudian kita mengenalnya sebagai kredo-kredo sufi.

Kebesaran Ibnu Rusyd sebagai seorang pemikir Islam mungkin tidak pantas lagi dipertanyakan. Pengakuan terhadapnya tidak hanya datang dari dunia Timur, tapi juga Barat yang bahkan mendaulatnya sebagai guru kedua atas jasa-jasanya menerjemahkan sekaligus menafsirkan karya-karya guru pertama, yaitu Aristotles. Sayangnya, dalam perkembangan pemikiran Islam, nama Ibnu Rusyd tidak bersinar segemilang Al Ghazali. Sehingga, pernah berkembang citraan bahwa kemunduran diskursus pemikiran Islam adalah gara-gara umat Islam lebih memilih warisan Ghazali ketimbang Rusyd.

Dalam buku ini, diri dan pemikiran Ibnu Rusyd "ditelanjangi". Ibnu Rusyd tidak hanya dilihat sebagai figur monolitik, sang filsuf saja, tetapi juga sebagai seorang faqih, dokter, sekaligus mistikus. Sungguhpun tidak berpretensi sebagai suluh bagi setiap lempeng dan palung dalam lautan pemikiran Sang Guru kedua, namun buku ini berbicara fasih dan gamblang tentang kesunyian pemikiran Ibnu Rusyd. Sebuah buku sangat penting yang akan membawa Anda ke sebuah cakrawala yang mencerahkan.
