En ikons 70 år på tronen. Andrew Mortons biografi över drottning Elizabeth kommer nu på svenska.
En nation i sorg sörjer drottningen som aldrig ville bli drottning. Omständigheterna satte henne på tronen men ingen monark har regerat längre än hon. Under sina 70 år som drottning har Elizabeth välkomnat 15 premiärministrar, från Churchill till Liz Truss, och lyckats behålla lugnet när det stormat både i världen och inom den egna familjen. Är hon vår tids sista stora ikon?
Journalisten Andrew Morton har under många år följt den engelska kungafamiljen och har en speciell förmåga att hitta vinklarna bakom den polerade fasaden. Han skapade skandal med boken Diana, den sanna historien, där han berättade om Dianas psykiska ohälsa och den hemliga relationen mellan Charles och Camilla. Allt visade sig vara sant och nu har Storbritannien en ny kung med Camilla vid sin sida.
I Elizabeth: drottning för livet skildrar Andrew Morton den osannolika berättelsen om hur allt började för den blyga prinsessan Elizabeth och slutade en regnig eftermiddag på det skotska slottet Balmoral, efter 70 år i nationens tjänst och som överhuvud i en familj som både beundrats och ifrågasatts. Det är en både underhållande och insiktsfull berättelse om monarken som kom att bli hoppets och optimismens lugnande ansikte, hela den engelska nationens mormor.
Andrew David Morton är en av världens mest uppskattade författare av biografier han har tidigare skrivit storsäljande böcker om kungliga figurer som Diana, prinsessan av Wales, Wallis Simpson och kändisar som Tom Cruise och Madonna.
Röster om boken:
»En uttrycksfull och beundransvärd berättelse om drottningens liv.« The Telegraph
»För alla oss som inte kan få nog av brittiska kungahuset ens efter säsong fem av The Crown på Netflix är Andrew Mortons Elizabeth: drottning för livet riktig mumma. Författaren kan sitt kungahus och berättar initierat om ett långt liv i offentligheten.« M Magasin
»Man behöver inte vara rojalist för att ha behållning av boken, det är en riktigt spännande modern historieberättelse.« Expressen Söndag
»Detta var otroligt trevlig och intressant läsning, sidorna vändes i en rasande fart. Härligt!« Boksidor med kaffe

' ...a very significant moment in the history of public theology over the past fifty years or so, taking stock of and renewing a sense of social vision in theology ' Raymond Plant, King's College, London and the House of Lords This major book is a unique stocktaking of the issues facing public theology at the beginning of the 21st century, combining retrospect and prospect. The contributors are leading Christian theologians and social theorists from Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia.

There are authoritative essays on political and public theology in Germany, Argentina, South Africa and Britain. In part two, the contested legacy of modernity itself is considered, revisiting such ideas as freedom, toleration, human rights, pluralism, environmental stewardship and God in history. Part three addresses globalization, offering a range of critical interpretations of this key concept for public theology in the 21st century.The final part offers theological and ethical insight into some of the most pressing public issues of the new century - medical ethics, punishment and forgiveness, inequality, social exclusion and political participation. Throughout, the authors engage with the public and theological concerns that have shaped the life and work of Duncan B. Forrester, to whom this book is dedicated. Public Theology for the 21st Century is a landmark publication for all those concerned about theology's contribution to public debate in the churches, the academy and society. William F. Storrar is Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology, and Director of the Centre for Theology and Public Issues, University of Edinburgh. Andrew R.

The publication in 1992 of Andrew Morton''s Diana: Her True Story shook the British Royal family to its very foundations. Initially greeted with disbelief, as time passed, it became clear that the book was, as its title claimed, Diana''s true story.Diana''s friends were hopeful that separation from Charles would bring Diana freedom to find happiness. But has it? With her marriage in limbo and her children only occasionally by her side, Diana''s position in the royal family is one of increasing isolation. Diana: Her New Life chronicles the secret battles that have raged behind closed doors, and Diana''s frustration as she tries to break free from the restrictions of her semi-detached royal life.Again with unprecedented access to some of Diana''s closest friends, Andrew Morton strips away the royal propaganda and reveals how Diana is learning to become a woman in her own right not a puppet of the palace, and shares Diana''s private thoughts on retirement from public life, remarriage, the men in her life, and the grooming of Prince William for his future role. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008

SHE IS A FASHION ICON WITH A LUST FOR FAME. HE IS POSSIBLY THE MOST FAMOUS ATHLETE ON THE PLANET. Together they are one of the most loved -- and hated -- pairs on Earth. This sensational, highly addictive biography delves beneath the Beckhams'' glossy, glamorous facade to expose the real Posh and Becks behind the headlines and the hype. Celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, hailed for his insightful, in-depth coverage of luminaries such as Princess Diana and Madonna, explores in detail how David and Victoria Beckham followed their passions -- football and fame -- to become two of the most recognizable people in the world. From their individual childhood stories of relentlessly pursuing their dreams to achieving fame together on an international level, Posh and Becks have earned their unofficial titles as the "King and Queen of Popular Culture," and they never disappoint their fans -- or the tabloids -- when it comes to making news. Their whirlwind courtship, "royal" wedding, alleged affairs, and family struggles have been lived out under the glare of flashbulbs, which they seem to simultaneously court and shun as they attempt to balance their personal lives with their public personas. With up-to-date coverage and commentary on all things Beckham, including David''s disappointing stint at Real Madrid and the family''s relocation to Los Angeles, Posh & Becks lays bare the truth behind the tabloids on this fascinating couple. - LjudbokEngelska, 2008

In 2006 Forbes magazine ranked Tom Cruise as the most powerful celebrity in the world. With three Golden Globe awards, three Academy Award nominations, and 27 films with an average box office gross of nearly $100 million, People Magazine''s choice for the "Sexest Man Alive" in 1990 is unquestionably one of the biggest movie stars of our time.He has also become one of the most controversial, for his outspoken championship of Scientology, for his criticism of Brooke Shields for turning to the "Nazi science" of psychiatry for help with postpartum depression, and for the time in 2005 when he jumped on Oprah Winfrey''s couch proclaiming his love for Katie Holmes. But for all the headlines and the rumors swirling around him, the real Tom Cruise has remained surprisingly hidden—until now.For two years, acclaimed investigative journalist Andrew Morton has been uncovering the true story of Tom Cruise—from his days as bullied "little Tommy Mapother," to his early stardom, to his romances and his increasingly public involvement in the world of Scientology. With new sources and exclusive interviews, Morton brings us never-seen photos and never-heard revelations about the private, sometimes shocking world of Tom Cruise.

“Why do women dream of having the life of Angelina Jolie? Because the actress is the embodiment of having it all.”—Harper’s Bazaar
Despite all the headlines, what do we know about the real Angelina Jolie? Award-winning biographer Andrew Morton, whose books forever changed the world’s perception of Princess Diana and Tom Cruise, finally brings us the inside story of the smiling, glamorous woman whom Forbes named the most powerful celebrity in the world. The daughter of actor Jon Voight, Angelina appeared in her first movie at the age of seven, then worked as a model and appeared in music videos as a teenager. She won an Oscar for Girl, Interrupted, shared a shocking kiss with her brother at the awards ceremony, and wore a vial of her second husband Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around her neck. Of late, however, the wild child with a heart and mind of her own, and the tattoos to show for it, has transformed herself into a UN Goodwill Ambassador and world-renowned humanitarian, with the equally glamorous Brad Pitt by her side.
Once again, Andrew Morton digs deep to find the true story. With astonishing never-before-seen photos and never-before-heard revelations, he paints a mesmerizing portrait of the secret history and private life of a gorgeous, exotic, and mysterious icon.
