At the end of cinema's first hundred years, one man stands alone and unchallenged as its most successful box-office star. Ruggedly resolute, an all-American Everyman, Harrison Ford has delivered a brand of heroism unseen since the days of Gary Cooper and unmatched by any of his contemporary rivals.Drawing on more than a hundred interviews with family and friends, colleagues and contemporaries, and Harrison Ford himself, Gary Jenkins has built up the first complete portrait of the screen's ultimate hero. Jenkins describes the difficult early years and chronicles the brutal treatment meted out to Ford within the fading Hollywood star system. He records the backstage battles Ford fought and offers fresh glimpses behind the scenes of American Graffiti, Star Wars, Witness, and the Indiana Jones adventures. And he shines new light on the women who have shared Ford's life.This is the story of a flawed and fallible hero, a man scarred yet strengthened by his experiences: Hollywood's imperfect hero as he has never been seen before.

Eine zauberhafte Geschichte von Bob, dem Streuner Der Winter 2010 ist ungewöhnlich hart in England. Im Dezember gibt es heftige Blizzards, selbst in London liegt Schnee und es ist bitter kalt- schlechte Voraussetzungen für einen Straßenmusiker! Schon bald wird das Geld knapp. Während die Londoner hektisch und spürbar in Feierstimmung durch die vorweihnachtlich erleuchtete Innenstadt hasten, ringt James um seine Einkünfte, um wenigstens Strom und Gas zu bezahlen. Ganz zu schweigen von Weihnachten, das er eigentlich noch nie mochte. Er ist der Verzweiflung nahe, doch wie so oft wird Bob ihn überraschen... Der Bestseller „Bob, der Streuner“ über den ehemals obdachlosen James Bowen und seinen anhänglichen Kater Bob hat bereits Millionen von Leser begeistert und berührt. Auch in dieser Weihnachtsgeschichte zeigt das Gespann, was wahre Freundschaft bedeutet.
