Alle Stars der ersten 20 Bücher wurden von mehr als 7500 TASCHEN-Lesern in einer Online-Unfrage gewählt! Die Serie Hollywood-Ikonen: Viele Menschen reden über den Glamour Hollywoods, über Studios, die mehr Stars und Sternchen als der Himmel besaßen, über Schauspieler, die nicht einfach nur Schauspieler, sondern Ikonen waren. Ja, viele Menschen reden über solche Dinge – TASCHEN zeigt sie Ihnen. Hollywood-Ikonen ist eine Serie von Bildbänden, die die berühmtesten Akteure in der Geschichte des Kinos präsentieren; jeder einzelne umfasst 192 Seiten und ist eine visuelle Biografie. Greta Garbos einzigartige und fotogene Schönheit ist zeitlos. Sie war zudem eine der größten Schauspielerinnen der Kinogeschichte – den Beweis liefern Filme wie Königin Christina und Die Kameliendame. Sie konnte mit einem angedeuteten Lächeln, einem Blick oder einer Geste ganze Geschichten erzählen. Sie war immer ein bisschen matt, distanziert und melancholisch – und besaß in Liebesszenen doch eine Leidenschaft und Sehnsucht, die ihre Zuschauer in ihren Bann zog und die Amerika einen ganz neuen Blick auf Erotik und Sexualität eröffnete. Teil ihrer Faszination war auch das Geheimnis um ihr Privat- und Liebesleben. „I want to be alone“, betonte sie immer wieder – und war doch für alle Welt das göttliche Weib.

An Expat's Life, Luxembourg & The White Rose is a refreshing and forthright take on the Englishman Abroad genre.

The book is brimful with little snippets of useful information and trivia for those unfamiliar with the country, and Robinson's anecdotes will spark empathy with readers who live, or have lived, in Luxembourg. -Duncan Roberts, editor of 352 Magazine.

The unparalleled career of the Little Tramp Charles Chaplin's Little Tramp is the supreme icon of motion picturesstill recognized and loved throughout the world, more than 90 years since he first burst on the screen. The shabby little figurewith derby hat, too-tight jacket, oversized boots and pants, dandified bow tie, and swagger caneseemed to symbolize the hopes and fears, defeats and optimism of all humanity. Chaplin's own biography was a rags-to-riches story that saw the product of a destitute childhood in Victorian London become one of Hollywood's first millionaires and the owner of his own studio before he was 30. His supreme gift was to transform his experience and knowledge of the human lot into comedy, for which his invention and skill have never been surpassed.
