DESCRIPTION : In Nick Hornby's completely joyous and original new book two great figures share the stage. Charles Dickens and Prince. Two wildly different artists who caught fire a nd lit up the world in ways no others could. Where did their magic come from? How did they work so hard and produce so much? How did they manage or give in to the restlessness and intensity of their creativity? How did they use it, and did it kill them? With wit, curiosity and deep admiration Nick Hornby traces their extraordinary lives - from their difficult beginnings to the women they fell for to their limitless energy for work, to their money and the movies - and brilliantly illuminates their very particular kind of genius.'I love this. It's smart and funny and elegantly persuasive' Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, author of Becoming Dickens PRODUCT DETAILS : ISBN : 9780241585252 BY (AUTHOR) Hornby, Nick PUBLISHER : Penguin Books Ltd PUBLICATION DATE : October 27, 2022 COUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom IMPRINT : Viking LANGUAGE : English AGE : General PRODUCT FORM : Hardback DIMENSION : 204 mm x 138 mm WEIGHT : 210 g PRODUCT CATEGORY : Biography, Literature & Literary studies Show more
