Meanwhile, school knowledge is unlikely to give at least some understanding that the Empress of All Rus' was beyond the grandiose person.

Under the sonorous pseudonym, Henri Troiya hides Lev Asisovich Tarasov - a French writer with Russian roots, whose pen belongs to dozens of books about the history of Russia.
Henri Troyaa sculpted the large-scale and voluminous biography of the Great Ekaterina Alekseevna, nee Sofia Augusta Frederica Angalt-cord, taking as a basis the canvas of historical and political events. After reading the book, the not that template and faceless image arises in front of us, but a living image of a witty and strong woman, who was admired by Voltaire and from whom not only the “overseas” countries trembled, but all of Russia.
Henri Gidel “Coco Chanel” is difficult to resist the temptation and not devote a song, verse, picture, perfume or book to this woman. The legendary Chanel biographies are laid by book and libraries, and the book of the French writer Henri Guidel remains classical. This is an exciting, sensual novel in an ideal performance, the plot of which was the life of Coco Chanel. In addition to the modernization of the women's costume, Coco became known for its difficult disposition, unbending character, cooperation with the German government during the Second World War, close relations with Igor Stravinsky.
You can learn more about all this in the Coco Chanel biography, where this heroine is sung - clarified, strong, legendary.

In three volumes, covering several decades from the life of Akhmatova, the author’s thoughts on the best lines of Russian literature, memories of the great people of the era, and, of course, Anna Andreevna herself.
Lidia Chukovskaya - a writer, editor, publicist, dissident, daughter of Korney Chukovsky, spent a lot of time with Akhmatova, helping with the publication of the last lifetime collection of poems. She recorded dialogs with the poet, keeping a kind of diary of their meetings and conversations.

Notes could not be published in their homeland for a long time, only in Paris the first volume was published in Paris. Oblivion, fear, “the terrible years of Ezhovshchina”, literature, war - the author writes honestly and truthfully about all this, “in hot pursuit”. And this conquers. I can’t imagine what catastrophes and troubles look like in Moscow: there isn’t all this there.
” Probably everyone knows about this great love, but not everyone knows what kind of personality was Lily Brik. The secret of the Avangard Amazon still remains unsolved, but the book “Partial Stories” provides a unique opportunity - to approach this muse of the early 20th century. Volodya will put on a cylinder, I will be a large black hat with feathers, and we will go to the eveiled Nevsky, for example, behind a pencil for the axis.
It is still light, and it will be light all night. The lanterns burn, but do not shine, as if not lit, but always like that. We go to the store, and Mayakovsky addresses the saleswoman with a mysterious look: “Mademoiselle, please give us a wild-oin pencil so that it is red on the one hand, and on the other, imagine, blue! This book is Lily Brik's dream about a separate edition of her own memoirs that she wrote all her life.
The book is woven from simple, personal and very characteristic memories. These are stories about Mayakovsky, Osip Brike, about other poets and friends Lily, characterizing not just individuals, but conveying the spirit of the era. Hayden Herrera “Frida Kalo” Magdalena Carmen Frida Kalo-Calderon is a Mexican artist, whose popularity has reached an incredible peak today.
We can easily explain interest with this vivid figure: you can hardly meet the second woman, in the life of which there were so many tragedies, pain, cheating, but who continued to love, fight for life and create. Frida’s painting is centripetal, and the main genre is a self -portrait through which the artist talks about her experiences and joys. Therefore, to understand the work of this artist, you need to know not only the foundations of Mexican folk culture, but also the life of Frida.
All this information can be gleaned from the magnificent book of Hayden Herrera, who managed to convey the complex and contradictory person of the artist. Ererar is meticulous and attentive to the little things, but with amazing ease and skill describes large -scale events in Frida’s life, such as love for the famous artist Diego River.In the text, the memoirs of Frida herself, letters of friends and lovers are woven.
I clearly understand my situation and is almost happy, because I have Diego, both mom and dad, whom I love so much. I think that this is enough, and I do not ask for the life of miracles or something like that. " Edith Piaf “My Life” is a great French singer, who proclaimed the slogan of her life the song “No, I do not regret anything,” wrote memories at the very end of life.
She, like any famous personality, was driven by the desire to tell the truth that would remain in this world with songs. So the book “My Life” turned out - without embellishment, without makeup, without shame, without a game. Early blindness, insight, cabaret, meningitis, death of a little daughter, performances, accusations of murder, loss of husband, theater, war, glory ...
It seems that there are too many events for one “baby Piaf”. Talking about his life - complex, “wrong”, magical and tragic, Piaf admits that the only excuse for it is love for life and people. In love and sincere, she recalls Raymon Asso, Charles Aznavour, Iva Montana and her other great lovers and faithful friends. It was this love that made her straighten her shoulders and boldly walk further, despite all the difficulties.
This love and, of course, her music. To sing, no matter what happens! My songs are me, my flesh, my head, my heart, my soul. My songs are my life. ” Oleg Dorman "Setter. The life of Lilianna Lungina, told by her in the film by Oleg Dorman, "Karlson, Emil from Lenebergs, Pippi Long Stocking - all these characters became faithful companions of Russian children thanks to the translator Lilianna Lungina.
Russian philologist, scientist, she was engaged in translations from the French, German, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish languages not only of children's literature. Her life is comparable to Roman, where the history of the hero and the whole country is tightly intertwined: childhood in France, Germany and Palestine, the fate of emigrants, great love, war, “thaw”, a new era ...
Director Oleg Dorman, who shot a biographical film series on the basis of Lungina’s memoirs, later issued a separate book with the monologues of the translator. Lilianna Zinovievna simply, but at the same time wisely and subtly, tells a story that is so similar to the fate of the great Soviet writers or scientists, and which is so unique. She is crazy, terrible, terrible, but at the same time beautiful, and I still think that the good in her prevails over the bad.
Above the terrible. Because the main thing in this life is people, and there are much more remarkable people than you suppose. So, after all, the good wins the bad. We must carefully look at people around. Maybe you will not immediately see that they are wonderful - you need to give yourself the work to make out what a person carries in himself. And maybe this is also a small path leading to some kind of joy.
” Margaret Thatcher “Autobiography” The first and only woman holding the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain opens all the cards, telling her life. This is the history of the struggle not only with patriarchal foundations, a bred attitude towards a woman-policy, but also the history of the search for the balance of social life and inner freedom.
In this sincere and honest book, the author removes the “iron” mask, opening to readers as an interesting personality, a sensitive and emotional woman. Before X, a young girl living in a small provincial English town, there would be no way to come into contact with such a range of talent, dramatic form, human emotions, sexual attractiveness, entertainment and style.
For a girl born 20 years later, all these things were ordinary and were considered to be granted. Granem was a small town, but, visiting the cinema, I fell into the most fabulous kingdoms of imagination. This raised in me the determination to once plunge into reality. " Margaret Thatcher, who created its original line in politics, has long been and remains an example of imitation for many women.
And even if you are not going to become a politician, you can still be inspired by the history of this woman, her resistance, optimism and faith in a person. Tatcher's autobiography is a real motivator for those who are in doubt and difficulties in the path to their dream. That I am a left -handed person and do everything with my left hand? That I have suffered all my life with insomnia?
What was I always conflicting? Has you climbed into the wolf in vain? What did two poles combined in me - could I be wasteful and greedy, bold and cowardly, queen and modest? What did I read to my face nutrient creams and loved, densely smeared with them, to lay out solitaires in the kitchen? What was a fierce fan of a football fan? What did she love the herring, gently magnifying her "herring"?
What never smoked and did not complain to the smokers that my head was exhausted from the glass of wine? For my life, I took out a simple philosophy. Simple - like a mug of water, like a sip of air. People are not divided into classes, races, state systems. People are divided into bad and good. On very good and very bad. This is the only way. "The autobiography of the passionate Carmen, the most lyrical swan and the most famous Russian ballerina of the 20th century.
Plisetskaya, inspiring choreographers, composers, directors, fashion designers, dancers, breeders, in her honor named one of the pens of peony, left behind several memoirs, including her first book, Maya Plisetskaya.

An autobiography will be interesting not only to fans of Maya Plisetskaya, but to everyone interested in ballet and Russian culture. Audrey Hepburn “Recognition of Love” is bright, sincere, humane - all this is applied to both Audrey Hepburn and her autobiography. Audrey learned about the incurability of her disease just a few months before his death. She began to write memoirs in which there was no despondency, sadness or resentment of her fate - only recognition of love to the most dear people.
This is not the point: love is the most unique contribution - the more you give it, the more it is born in yourself.
