Sir David Jason's career, from the outside, might seem like one glorious procession to national treasure status. But the truth is that he's had more knockbacks, more ups and downs, and more roundabout routes along his bumpy journey in life than one of Del Boy's get-rich schemes.David's north star for navigating life's challenges has always been his positive outlook and his resilience. 'This time next year, we'll be millionaires' was what Derek Trotter once said. This certainly wasn't always the case for David, growing up in a working class family in London in the rubble of the Blitz. Before he was making us laugh on TV he was a jobbing electrician. But with every challenge he has faced in life, he's always looked forward, and has never give in.In this latest volume of memoirs, told in his characteristically warm and funny style, David reveals the hard-won wisdom of a life lived doggedly getting through one day, looking to the next, and always chasing what's new on the horizon. It will touch, entertain and inspire readers, and might even teach them a thing or two about living a good life.

From visionary director Jon M. Chu comes a powerful, inspiring memoir of belonging, creativity, and learning to see who you really are. Long before he directed Wicked, In The Heights, or the groundbreaking film Crazy Rich Asians, Jon M. Chu was a movie-obsessed first-generation Chinese American, helping at his parents' Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley and forever facing the cultural identity crisis endemic to children of immigrants. Growing up on the cutting edge of twenty-first-century technology gave Chu the tools he needed to make his mark at USC film school, and to be discovered by Steven Spielberg, but he soon found himself struggling to understand who he was. In this book, for the first time, Chu turns the lens on his own life and work, telling the universal story of questioning what it means when your dreams collide with your circumstances, and showing how it's possible to succeed even when the world changes beyond all recognition. With striking candor and unrivaled insights, Chu offers a firsthand account of the collision of Silicon Valley and Hollywood--what it's been like to watch his old world shatter and reshape his new one. Ultimately, Viewfinder is about reckoning with your own story, becoming your most creative self, and finding a path all your own.

An epic novel of star-crossed lovers set in a doomsday cult on the Texas prairie that asks: What would you sacrifice for the person you love? Waco, Texas, 1993. People from all walks of life have arrived to follow the Lamb's gospel--signing over savings and pensions, selling their homes and shedding marriages. They've come here to worship at the feet of a former landscaper turned prophet who is preparing for the End Times with a staggering cache of weapons. Jaye's mother is one of his newest and most devout followers, though Jaye herself has suspicions about the Lamb's methods--and his motives. Roy is the youngest son of the local sheriff, a fourteen-year-old boy with a heart of gold and a nose for trouble who falls for Jaye without knowing of her mother's attachment to the man who is currently making his father's life hell. The two teenagers are drawn to each other immediately and completely, but their love may have dire consequences for their families. The Lamb has plans for them all--especially Jaye--and as his preaching and scheming move them closer and closer to unthinkable violence, Roy risks everything to save Jaye. Based on the true events that unfolded thirty years ago during the siege of the Branch Davidian compound, Bret Anthony Johnston's We Burn Daylight is an unforgettable love story, a heart-pounding literary page turner, and a profound exploration of faith, family, and what it means to truly be saved.

La novela alemana de mayor éxito desde El Perfume, traducida a más de 40 idiomas y con más de 6 millones de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo. Prólogo de Juan Gabriel Vásquez. > Ciencia y literatura se dan la mano en esta novela inteligentemente entretejida en la que Daniel Kehlmann, uno de los autores más importantes de la literatura alemana contemporánea, resucita las fascinantes personalidades de dos eruditos: Alexander von Humboldt y Carl Friedrich Gauss. A finales del siglo XVIII, estos dos jóvenes alemanes se embarcaron en la descomunal empresa de medir el mundo. Alexander von Humboldt, un naturalista, viajero y aventurero empedernido de inagotable curiosidad, exploró nuestro planeta y se abrió paso por las selvas y estepas, navegó por el Orinoco y probó toda clase de venenos. Carl Friedrich Gauss, un hombre nacido en la pobreza y posteriormente reconocido como el más importante matemático desde Newton, era capaz de abandonar el lecho conyugal en plena noche nupcial para anotar una fórmula matemática. En 1828, ya mayores, estos dos genios de la Ilustración alemana se reencuentran en Berlín, donde evocan juntos los años de su juventud y aventuras pasadas. La medición del mundo, el mayor best seller en lengua alemana después de El perfume, ampliamente galardonada y traducida a más de 40 idiomas, es una novela que se distingue por un humor sutil y una fina ironía, pero también por una caracterización de los personajes, una amenidad y un encanto inolvidables. En lugar de ensalzar a estos personajes históricos, el autor nos muestra estos genios excéntricos en todas sus facetas: con sus grandezas y sus errores, sus pequeñas manías y sus debilidades y anhelos, entre la soledad y el amor, el fracaso y el éxito, y consigue de este modo un retrato humano inédito, lleno de luces y de sombras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Measuring the World marks the debut of a glorious new talent on the international scene. Young Austrian writer Daniel Kehlmann's brilliant comic novel revolves around the meeting of two colossal geniuses of the Enlightenment. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, two young Germans set out to measure the world. One of them, the Prussian aristocrat Alexander von Hum-boldt, negotiates savanna and jungle, travels down the Orinoco, tastes poisons, climbs the highest mountain known to man, counts head lice, and explores every hole in the ground. The other, the barely socialized mathematician and astronomer Carl Friedrich Gauss, does not even need to leave his home in Göttingen to prove that space is curved. He can run prime numbers in his head. He cannot imagine a life without women, yet he jumps out of bed on his wedding night to jot down a mathematical formula. Von Humboldt is known to history as the Second Columbus. Gauss is recognized as the greatest mathematical brain since Newton. Terrifyingly famous and more than eccentric in their old age, the two meet in Berlin in 1828. Gauss has hardly climbed out of his carriage before both men are embroiled in the political turmoil sweeping through Germany after Napoleon's fall. Already a huge best seller in Germany, Measuring the World marks the debut of a glorious new talent on the international scene.
