release date: Mar 01, 2024
Friends, Amantes e Aquela Coisa Terrível
Olá, o meu nome é Matthew, mas talvez me conheçam por outro nome. Os meus amigos chamam-me Matty. E eu devia estar morto. É assim que começa a fascinante história do famoso ator Matthew Perry, que nos acompanha na sua viagem desde a ambição de infância até à fama, passando pelo vício e pela recuperação após um problema de saúde que pôs em risco a sua vida. Antes das suas frequentes idas ao hospital e das passagens pela reabilitação, existia Matthew, de cinco anos, que viajava de Montreal para Los Angeles, alternando entre os seus pais divorciados; Matthew, de catorze anos, que era uma estrela do ténis no ranking nacional do Canadá; Matthew, de vinte e quatro anos, que conseguiu um cobiçado papel como membro do elenco principal no conhecido episódio-piloto, então chamado Friends Like Us...e muito mais. Friends, Amantes e Aquela Coisa Terrível é um livro de memórias inesquecível, simultaneamente íntimo e revelador – bem como uma mão estendida a qualquer pessoa que esteja a lutar pela sobriedade. Incrivelmente honesto, comovente e também divertido, este é o livro com uma poderosa mensagem de esperança e persistência que Matthew Perry publicou no ano anterior à sua morte.

Frendit, rakkaudet ja iso kamala juttu

release date: Oct 24, 2023
Frendit, rakkaudet ja iso kamala juttu
“Nimeni on Matthew, vaikka sinä saatat tuntea minut toisella nimellä.” Frendit-sarjasta tuttu näyttelijä vie lukijat supersuositun komediasarjan kulissien taakse ja muistelee koskettavasti kamppailuaan päihderiippuvuuden kanssa. Avioerolapsi Matthew matkusti viisivuotiaana vuoroin Montrealin ja Los Angelesin väliä tavatakseen vanhempiaan, 14-vuotiaana hän oli menestynyt tennistähti Kanadassa ja 24-vuotiaana hän nappasi himoitun pääosaroolin Frendit-televisiosarjan Chandlerina. Tähteys tuntui tuovan hänelle kaiken mitä toivoa saattoi, mutta Matthew kertoo sisällään olleesta tyhjyydestä, joka ei täyttynyt edes suurimpien unelmien toteutuessa. Lämpimästi ja huumorilla kirjoitettu muistelmateos kertoo menetetyistä rakkauksista, synkimmistä päivistä ja uskollisimmista ystävistä. Matthew Perry (1969-2023) oli kanadalais-amerikkalainen näyttelijä ja käsikirjoittaja, joka tunnettiin Chandler Bingin roolista komediasarjassa Frendit.

Friends, mes amours et cette chose terrible
" Salut, je m'appelle Matthew, mais vous me connaissez peut-être sous un autre nom. Mes amis m'appellent Matty. Et je devrais être mort. " Ainsi commence la captivante histoire de l'inoubliable Chandler de Friends qui, au fil de ses souvenirs, évoque ses ambitions de jeunesse et son rapport à la célébrité, ses addictions et la guérison après un grave problème de santé qui lui fit frôler la mort. Mais avant les cures de désintoxication et les séjours à l'hôpital, il y a le Matthew de 5 ans qui voyagea de Montréal à Los Angeles, ballotté entre des parents séparés ; celui de 14 ans, star du tennis au Canada ; celui de 24 ans qui décrocha le rôle le plus convoité des États-Unis pour le pilote d'une série appelée à l'époque Friends Like Us... Dans cet incroyable récit que lui seul pouvait raconter, Matthew Perry se met à nu et dévoile la famille brisée dans laquelle il a grandi (et qui l'a laissé livré à lui-même), la soif de reconnaissance qui l'a mené à la célébrité et le vide en lui que rien n'a su combler, pas même la réalisation de ses plus grands rêves. Il revient également sur la paix que lui procure aujourd'hui la sobriété et ce qu'il ressent face à l'omniprésence de Friends, nous livrant des anecdotes sur ses camarades de tournage et d'autres stars croisées sur la route. Avec l'humour et l'honnêteté qu'on lui connaît, Matthew Perry dépeint le combat de toute une vie contre la dépendance et ce qui l'a engendrée, lui qui semblait tout avoir. Des mémoires inoubliables à la fois intimes et édifiants, et une main tendue vers ceux qui luttent contre l'addiction. D'une honnêteté sans faille, émouvant et irrésistiblement drôle, voici le livre que les fans du monde entier attendaient.

Friends, amanti e la Cosa Terribile

release date: Nov 07, 2022
Friends, amanti e la Cosa Terribile
L’amatissima star di Friends ci porta nel dietro le quinte della sitcom e ci racconta la sua odissea con la dipendenza in questo memoir brutalmente sincero, comico e illuminante: una mano tesa a chiunque stia lottando per la sobrietà. “Salve, il mio nome è Matthew, anche se potreste conoscermi con un altro nome. I miei amici mi chiamano Matty. E dovrei essere morto.” Inizia così l’avvincente storia dell’acclamato attore Matthew Perry, che ci accompagna in un viaggio che va dalla sua infanzia, segnata dal desiderio di emergere, al raggiungimento della fama e poi alla dipendenza e al recupero, dopo essere stato in fin di vita. Prima delle frequenti visite in ospedale e dei periodi di disintossicazione, c’è stato un Matthew di cinque anni, che viaggiava da Montreal a Los Angeles dividendosi tra i genitori separati; un Matthew di quattordici anni, stella del tennis canadese; un altro Matthew ancora, che a ventiquattro anni ha ottenuto l’ambitissimo ruolo da co-protagonista nel cast della serie più attesa del momento, allora chiamata Friends like us (divenuta poi famosa in tutto il mondo col titolo di Friends)... e molti altri ancora. Nelle pieghe di una storia straordinaria che solo lui poteva scrivere – e con la voce appassionata, esilarante e calorosamente familiare che lo caratterizza –, Matthew Perry racconta senza reticenze la famiglia che lo ha cresciuto (e che lo ha anche lasciato a se stesso), il desiderio di riconoscimento che lo ha spinto verso la fama e il vuoto interiore, che non poteva essere colmato nemmeno dalla realizzazione dei suoi sogni più grandi. Ma racconta anche la pace che ha trovato nella sobrietà, e come ha vissuto l’immenso successo di Friends, condividendo aneddoti sui suoi compagni di cast e sulle altre star che ha incontrato lungo il cammino. Schietto, consapevole e venato dall’umorismo che abbiamo imparato a conoscere, Perry descrive in modo vivido la sua battaglia contro la dipendenza da alcol e droghe e il motivo per cui, nonostante avesse apparantemente tutto,, nulla riusciva a renderlo felice. Friends, amanti e la Cosa Terribile è un memoir indimenticabile, intimo e illuminante, che offre una mano tesa a chiunque stia lottando per la sobrietà. Brutalmente sincero, divertente e a tratti tragico: questo è il libro che i fan di tutto il mondo stavano aspettando.

The Odd Past
From the Author I love history, and I have spent my entire adult life teaching kids about our past. Throughout my time in the classroom, I have accumulated a bevy of weird and wacky stories for my students. Most people grow up hating history because they weren't told about the good stuff, they just read their textbook and drooling in a stupor. I have made it my goal to end the era of sleeping in history class, and this book is the culmination of that work. Check out these and other great tales at www.theoddpast.com

A West Virginia Rebel

A West Virginia Rebel
Praise for "A West Virginia Rebel" from seriousreading.com 'A West Virginia Rebel' is definitely a must-read for readers who always want to explore new horizons in the history genre. Matthew A. Perry has thoroughly investigated all the events that took place in Jenkins's life and penned down a book perfectly draped in the backdrop of West Virginia. Matthew A. Perry's attempt to recreate history is surely worth reading for everyone who wants to know the ins and outs of Albert Jenkins' life and the history of West Virginia, alongside the sectional conflict of the American civil war." Albert Gallatin Jenkins was a wealthy lawyer and farmer living in the Western Counties of Virginia prior to the Civil War. After the war began, Jenkins would form a Ranger command and conduct many raids in the area that would become West Virginia. Jenkins would fight at Gettysburg and would eventually die for his cause. Against the backdrop of West Virginia statehood and the sectional strife of the Civil War, this book investigates one man's decision to fight against his own neighbors and eventually give the last full measure for his cause.

A Professional Soldier
The son of a gardener, James Duncan enlisted in the 17th Lancers in 1842. Promoted from the ranks during the winter hell of the Crimean War, he went on to fight in the Indian Mutiny, before becoming the Fort-Major of Edinburgh Castle, and retiring as an Honorary Colonel. 'A Professional Soldier' examines the everyday existence of a 19th century cavalryman, as he rises through the ranks from Private to Colonel. Exploring the routines, drills, tactics, and ideals, which would have made up Duncan's daily life, and defined him as a career soldier, at peace and at war. Along the way, hopefully proving that many Victorian soldiers were not blunderers, but professional soldiers.

The Fourteen Lives of Matt Perry

The Fourteen Lives of Matt Perry
Who can say how words in this book will be received ? Will readers respond to a message about immigration and resilience ? I know my own reaction. I came to the conclusion that nobody would buy in. That was a switch because I had believed people would eat up my every word. As I wrote, a change came over me. I began to believe that my words would also change others. Even Warren Buffett, the modern King Midas. I began to see that my book was not just about emigration and resilience but also about repentance and redemption. I accepted the notion that this was my Pactolus, the river which had lifted the burden of greed and threat from Midas, whose food and drink---and daughter---turned into gold at his touch. Suddenly, Midas was free to live like a person who could touch his food, drink and family members without bad results. He was freed from his addiction to wealth. ---------------------------- My 77-year-span unfolded before my eyes. I recorded all traumas in detail---a million words, hundreds of pages. Slowly, I began to understand that I was having a conversion experience. -------------------------- I went from admiration and love of pennies, nickels, dimes, riches, wealth---an addicted state of mind---to the realization that I had a condition which I call Buffett mania. As Buffett's biographer Schroeder wrote this year, Buffett did not control money. Rather, money controlled Warren Buffett. In Omaha, Buffett stole his sister's bicycle--because he wanted a trade-in as he bought a bicycle for himself. He shop-lifted golf balls at Sears in Washington so he could sell balls himself. During my careers as chemical engineer and stock-market analyst, I observed Buffett mania in my engineering and business associates but overlooked my addiction. I still have traces of this mental illness. Now I have decided to be a man---to confront Warren Buffett with my book. Buffett's biographer describes his mania in a new biography, The Snowball. American preoccupation with economics played a part in Warren Buffett's so-called success and so-called wealth. ----------------------------- There is an antidote to the poison of addiction to greed---and that is this book, My Fourteen Lives. My resilience, which saved my life 13 times, is nothing less than a gift from God, who will also save Warren Buffett from his greed. It's not just about my life and that of Warren Buffett because 500,000 other lives hang in the balance. Addiction to greed has targeted many victims for a hellish life and death. Time for repentance and redemption ! Time to give away your money, Mr. Buffett. In your own lifetime. Do it yourself. As Carnegie did. As Rockefeller did. As Morgan did. Time for everybody on "Wall Street" to refuse the end-of-year bonus. Buy books instead. Buy The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the business of life. $35 for 960 pages ! Buy My Fourteen Lives: the many lives of Matthew Valentin Perry Give them as presents. Read them yourself. ( You never know...)

Friends, iubiri și marele lucru teribil - Editura Nemira

Friends, iubiri și marele lucru teribil - Editura Nemira
„Un memoir autentic, scris cu un curaj uimitor. Matthew Perry ne deschide larg ușile vieții lui, vorbind onest despre dependență, boală și singurătatea lui paralizantă. Această carte este însă plină de speranță. Dacă vreți să aflați cine este Matthew Perry, stați departe de zvonuri și citiți acest memoir.” Marta Kauffman, cocreator al serialului Friends Îndrăgitul star din Friends ne conduce în culisele acestui serial de succes și povestește despre lupta cu dependența în stilul său inconfundabil, amuzant și ingenuu, prin acest memoir plin de speranță. „Bună, mă numesc Matthew, deși e posibil să mă știi după alt nume. Prietenii îmi spun Matty. Și ar cam trebui să fiu mort.” Așa începe povestea captivantă a celebrului actor Matthew Perry, care ne poartă în călătoria lui, pornind de la ambiția din copilărie de a deveni faimos și ajungând până la dependență și recuperare. Înainte de vizitele frecvente la spital și perioadele petrecute la dezintoxicare, a existat Matthew, copilul de cinci ani, care călătorea de la Montreal la Los Angeles, vizitându-și părinții divorțați. În acest memoir, facem cunoștință și cu Matthew, adolescentul de paisprezece ani, care a fost vedetă națională a tenisului canadian, dar și cu Matthew, tânărul de douăzeci și patru de ani, care a pus mâna pe un rol foarte râvnit de mulți actori, în episodul-pilot din serialul despre care vorbea toată lumea și care, la vremea respectivă, se numea Friends Like Us, și multe altele. Într-o relatare extraordinară, pe care numai el o putea face în stilul său sincer, hilar și extrem de familiar, Matthew Perry dezvăluie mai multe despre familia destrămată, care l-a crescut (și, de asemenea, care l-a și lăsat să se descurce singur), despre dorința de validare, care l-a condus spre faimă, dar și despre golul interior, care nu a putut fi umplut nici măcar de cele mai mari visuri devenite realitate. Actorul vorbește despre liniștea pe care a simțit-o în momentele de luciditate, despre experiențele trăite alături de colegii din Friends, dar și despre alte vedete pe care le-a întâlnit pe parcurs. Franc, conștient de sine și cu umorul său caracteristic, Perry își descrie lupta de o viață cu adicția și tot ceea ce a alimentat-o de-a lungul anilor. Friends, iubiri și marele lucru teribil este un memoir de neuitat, deopotrivă intim și revelator, precum și o mână întinsă oricui se luptă cu probleme asemănătoare. Visceral de onestă, emoționantă, amuzantă, aceasta este cartea pe care fanii o așteptau...
