In her intimate memoir, More Myself, Alicia Keys shares her quest
for truth: about herself, her past, and her shift from sacrificing
her spirit to celebrating her worth. One of the most celebrated
musicians of our time, Alicia Keys has enraptured the nation with
her heartfelt lyrics, extraordinary vocal range, and soul-stirring
piano compositions. Yet away from the spotlight, Alicia has
grappled with private heartache over the challenging and complex
relationship with her father, the people-pleasing nature that
characterized her early career, the loss of privacy surrounding her
romantic relationships, and the oppressive expectations of female
perfection.Since her rise to fame, Alicia's public persona has
belied a deep personal truth: she has spent years not fully
recognizing or honoring her own worth. After withholding parts of
herself for so long, she is at last exploring the questions that
live at the heart of her story: Who am I, really? And once I
discover that truth, how can I become brave enough to embrace
it?More Myself is part autobiography, part narrative documentary.
Alicia's journey is revealed not only through her own candid
recounting, but also through vivid recollections from those who
have walked alongside her.The result is a 360-degree perspective on
Alicia's path: from her girlhood in Hell's Kitchen and Harlem, to
the process of self-discovery she's still navigating. With the raw
honesty that epitomizes Alicia's artistry, More Myself is at once a
riveting account and a clarion call to readers: to define
themselves in a world that rarely encourages a true and unique
identity.
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.
