Elizabeth Day'Odell's extensive reporting dredges up a wealth of
delightful details' New York TimesThis definitive biography of Anna
Wintour chronicles the steep climb of an ambitious young woman who
would, with singular and legendary focus, become the most powerful
woman in media. As a child, Anna Wintour was a tomboy with no
apparent interest in clothing but, seduced by the miniskirts and
bob haircuts of swinging 1960s London, she grew into a
fashion-obsessed teenager. Her father, the influential editor of
the Evening Standard, loomed large in her life, and once he decided
she should become editor in chief of Vogue, she never looked
back.Impatient to start her career, she left high school and got a
job at a fashionable boutique in London - an experience that would
be the first of many defeats. Undeterred, she found work in the
competitive world of magazines, eventually moving to New York.
Before long, Anna's journey to Vogue became a battle to ascend, no
matter who or what stood in her way.Once she was crowned editor in
chief - in one of the stormiest transitions in fashion magazine
history - she continued the fight to retain her enviable position,
ultimately rising to dominate all of Conde Nast. Based on extensive
interviews with Anna Wintour's closest friends and collaborators,
including some of the biggest names in fashion, journalist Amy
Odell has crafted the most revealing portrait of Wintour ever
published. Weaving Anna's personal story into a larger narrative
about the hierarchical dynamics of the fashion industry and the
complex world of Conde Nast, Anna charts the relentless ambition of
the woman who would become an icon.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
