A sus noventa y siete años, desde la soledad definitiva de su habitación en un humilde hogar de ancianos de Miami, una afamada declamadora de otros tiempos nos confía a corazón abierto todo lo aprendido en su largo e intenso peregrinar por esta vida. En Carmina Benguria, en su voz cautivadora y decidida, encontramos a una preciada gloria de la epoca en que los teatros rebosaban de gente dispuesta a vibrar con la fuerza de la buena poesia. Pero, a poco de hurgar en ella, descubrimos en Carmina algo mas que la joven que a mediados del siglo XX enamoro a toda Iberoamerica interpretando, dando nueva vida, a los grandes poetas de nuestra lengua; descubrimos que hay algo mas dentro de esa persona condecorada por los gobiernos de Cuba, España, Peru y Ecuador con sus maximas distinciones culturales; hay en ella algo mas que la mujer cinco decadas exiliada, fiel a sus convicciones humanistas. Simplemente, descubrimos en Carmina a un ser entrañable.

Talento Rebelde & Pirata es un libro aparentemente fácil de leer, sin embargo está continuamente mandando mensajes críticos, reflexivos, contradictorios o, al menos, provocadores de reflexión

Robert Altman (1925-2006) revoluciono el espacio cinematograficoa partir de finales de los años 60 a traves de propuestas rompedoras a nivelestilistico y tematico.

Famed American actress Demi Moore at last tells her own story in a surprisingly intimate and emotionally charged memoir.For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight or the headlines.Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past, just one step ahead of the doubts and insecurities that defined her childhood. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception. As her success grew, Demi found herself questioning if she belonged in Hollywood, if she was a good mother, a good actress and, always, if she was simply good enough.As much as her story is about adversity, it is also about tremendous resilience. In this deeply candid and reflective memoir, Demi pulls back the curtain and opens up about her career and personal life laying bare her tumultuous relationship with her mother, her marriages, her struggles balancing stardom with raising a family, and her journey toward open heartedness. Inside Out is a story of survival, success, and surrender a wrenchingly honest portrayal of one womans at once ordinary and iconic life.

"A generous, well-researched book... Dowsing tells the whole sobering tale with grace." Simon Callow, The Guardian"A superb biography of Nicol Williamson. Thoroughly researched, very judicious on the films, and a sympathetic and sensitive appraisal of the man without ever being sentimental or sycophantic. A fine tribute to a remarkable talent and clearly a fascinating personality, it certainly made me want to re-view some of the movies, particularly The Bofors Gun and The Reckoning. An absorbing, mysterious tale; it reads almost like a novel in the way the narrative grips and holds you." Neil Sinyard, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at the University of Hull and author of twenty books on film"This biography of Nicol Williamson really gets to the heart of the man and made me love him all over again. It''s not only informative but heart-breaking, and Martin Dowsing has done him proud." Paul Moriarty, actor and Nicol Williamson''s understudy in the Royal Shakespeare Company, 1974-75

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, George Roy Hill, Tom Cruise, Elia Kazan and many others.A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair"Newman at his bestwith his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activitiesthis rich book somehow imbues his characters pain and joy with fresh technicolor." The Wall Street JournalIn 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newmans family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actors life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years.The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newmans voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voicesfrom childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Hustonthat run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling.Newmans often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodwardtheir love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually.The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.
