He didn’t just create superheroes. He created a blueprint for how modern culture thinks about power, pain, identity — and redemption. From Spider-Man’s guilt to the X-Men’s exile, from the pages of pulp comics to billion-dollar movie screens, Stan Lee rewired the mythologies of the modern world. But behind the catchphrases and cameos was a man caught between truth and persona, legacy and loneliness, spotlight and shadow. This book goes beyond the fan letter. It’s a deep-dive into the masks he wore — and the world he left behind.

A partire dagli episodi della sua vita famigliare, personale e professionale e con lo sguardo attento ai cambiamenti che stano stravolgendo la nostra immagine del mondo, Sallusti mostra in questo libro il punto di vista eretico di un liberal-conservatore abituato a sentirsi minoranza - spesso irrisa - nei salotti buoni della cultura dominante, e tuttavia consapevole di essere in sintonia con la maggioranza delle persone in Europa e in Occidente, come le elezioni si incaricano invariabilmente di dimostrare.

What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finding Me: From Imposter to Icon is the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from pretending to be someone else to becoming a two-time Photographer of the Year. It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world. More than a memoir about paintball or photography, this is a journey of identity, resilience, and discovering what happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself.

Se Pansa è stato un giornalista stimato per la sua onestà, un giornalista ‘democratico e di sinistra’, se i suoi scritti sulla Resistenza gli hanno procurato persino il riconoscimento di Grande Ufficiale della Repubblica da parte del presidente Ciampi, come è possibile che, per aver completato la verità sul ‘biennio fatale 1943-45’, si sia trasformato in un falsario o, per i suoi peggiori detrattori, nientemeno che in un fascista?”

Written by the former Deputy Head of Make-Up and Wigs at the National Theatre, this book opens up a process that very few people will otherwise be privy to, giving perspectives on the preparation before a production and responsibilities during, as well as looking more widely at training, career opportunities and success.

This is the story of how John Madden and Pat Summerall got to CBS and, although very different, how they became the greatest broadcast team of all time.

Die Familie Thomas Mann hat ein Haus am Tegernsee gemietet. Die Kinder schwimmen und angeln Rotaugen, der Vater rudert, geht spazieren und besteigt erstmals einen Berg, die Mutter kümmert sich um das neue Baby, und Bauschan, der Hund, döst im Schatten, während ihn Thomas Mann gerade zum Helden seiner Erzählung »Herr und Hund« macht. Den Schriftsteller plagen Sorgen. Die deutsche Niederlage im Ersten Weltkrieg steht bevor, Revolution liegt in der Luft, und mit seinem antidemokratischen Manifest »Betrachtungen eines Unpolitischen« sitzt Thomas Mann historisch auf dem falschen Dampfer.

In brutally repressive Elizabethan England, artists are frightened; foreigners are suspect; popular entertainment largely consists of coarse spectacles, animal fights, and hangings. What Christopher Marlowe finds on the other side of that door, and what he does with it, brings about a spectacular explosion of English literature, language, and culture, enabling the success of many others, including his youthful collaborator William Shakespeare. By the time of his murder in a Deptford tavern in 1593, the 29-year-old Marlowe will be the most celebrated dramatist of his time.
