Prince Rogers Nelson released his first album in 1978. In the years that followed until his death in April 2016, he became a superstar, a recluse, an inspiration, an enigma, a slave and a symbol. He was a master of reinvention, but the one constant in his astonishing career was his genius: as a singer, a songwriter, a performer and a musician. He sold more than 100 million albums, won seven Grammys, a Golden Globe and an Oscar. His ability to fuse styles and genres made him one of the most unique, influential and beloved artists in music history. In Prince: A Thief in the Temple, acclaimed journalist and broadcaster Brian Morton reveals the highs and lows of a remarkable musical life.

«Книга памяти» – сборник, посвященный 75-летию Победы. Это книга о славе и о скорби, о подвиге и страданиях. Книга, которая объединяет всех, кому дорога священная и горькая память о нашей истории, кто умом и сердцем понимает цену Победы. Все меньше тех, кто был свидетелем тех страшных, опаленных войной лет, кто может рассказать о них правду. Именно сейчас так важно услышать их и тех, кто был свидетелем их рассказов. Бойцов. Детей войны. Детей детей – и наших непосредственных современников. Поэтому в книгу включены не только художественные произведения, но и свидетельства тех, кто видел и знал войну, не только научные исследования, но и стихи ветерана. Чтобы мы не забывали то, что нельзя забывать. Чтобы каждый из нас мог сказать: «Я помню. Я чту».
