Anna Wintour - Vogue'i peatoimetaja aastast 1988, üks mõjuvõimsamaid meediapersoone maailmas. Enam kui kolmekümne aasta jooksul ilmunud Vogue'i numbrites ja selle haruajakirjades on Anna defineerinud nii moetrende kui ka ilustandardeid, dikteerides miljonitele inimestele, mida osta, kuidas välja näha ja keda oluliseks pidada. Tema otsustab, milliseid kuulsusi ja modelle pildistada ja millistesse rõivastesse nad riietada.Kogu valitsusaja jooksul Vogue'is on tema ametist loobumine või lahtilaskmine andnud pidevalt ainest oletusteks. Kuid vaatamata terava avaliku kriitika tulvale on Anna mõjuvõim ajaga üksnes kasvanud, sest ta tunneb ökosüsteemi, milles tegutseb, paremini kui keegi teine. Võiks lausa öelda, et ta ise selle leiutaski.Tuginedes ulatuslikele intervjuudele Anna Wintouri lähimate sõprade ja koostööpartnerite ja moemaailma suurimate nimedega, on ajakirjanik Amy Odell kirjutanud Wintouri kõige põhjalikuma portree, mis eales avaldatud.* Amy Odell on moe- ja kultuuriajakirjanik. Tema tööd on ilmunud ajakirjades New York Magazine, The Economist's 1843, Bloomberg Businessweek ja paljudes teistes väljaannetes.

The bestselling book that inspired the musical play and film The King and I"Enchanting. . . . The author wears her scholarship with grace, and the amazing story she has to tell is recounted with humor and understanding. And what a story it is " --Atlantic MonthlyAnna Leonowens, a proper Englishwoman, was an unlikely candidate to change the course of Siamese (Thai) history. A young widow and mother, her services were engaged in the 1860's by King Mongkut of Siam to help him communicate with foreign governments and be the tutor to his children and favored concubines. Stepping off the steamer from London, Anna found herself in an exotic land she could have only dreamed of: a lush landscape of mystic faiths and curious people, and a king's palace bustling with royal pageantry, ancient custom, and harems. One of her pupils, the young prince Chulalongkorn, was particularly influenced by Leonowens and her Western ideals. He learned about Abraham Lincoln and the tenets of democracy from her, and years later he would become Siam's most progressive king. He guided the country's transformation from a feudal state to a modern society, abolishing slavery and making many other radical reforms. Weaving meticulously researched facts with richly imagined scenes, Margret Landon recreates an unforgettable portrait of life in a forgotten exotic land. Originally published in 1944, and translated into dozens of languages, Anna and the King of Siam continues to delight and enchant readers around the world.

'The greatest love story I've ever read' Andrew Davies Anna Karenina is a novel of unparalleled richness and complexity, set against the backdrop of Russian high society. Tolstoy charts the course of the doomed love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer who pursues Anna after becoming infatuated with her at a ball. Although she initially resists his charms Anna eventually succumbs, falling passionately in love and setting in motion a chain of events that lead to her downfall. In this extraordinary novel Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, while evoking a love so strong that those who experience it are prepared to die for it.
'One of the greatest love stories in world literature' Vladimir NabokovThe heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. This award-winning translation has been acclaimed as the definitive English version of Tolstoy's masterpiece.Translated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY with a Preface by JOHN BAYLEY
