Book Description
The gripping true story of Angelina Jolie, from #1 New York Times bestselling biographer Andrew Morton. "I like to collect knives," says Angelina Jolie, "but I also collect first edition books." At first glance, she might seem to be someone without any secrets, talking openly about her love life, sexual preferences, drug use, cutting, and tattoos--and why she kissed her brother on the lips in public. And yet mysteries remain: What was really going on in her brief, impulsive marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, and what was going on in her partnership with Brad Pitt? What's behind the oft-reported feud with her father, the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight? What drove her to become a mother of six children in six years? And—perhaps most puzzling of all—what about the other side of Angelina: How did this talented but troubled young actress, barely 35 years old, become a respected Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations as well as the "most powerful celebrity in the world" (unseating Oprah Winfrey) on Forbes' 2009 Celebrity 100 list? The answers that Andrew Morton has uncovered are astonishing, taking us deep inside Angelina's world to show us what shaped her as a child, as an actress, and as a woman struggling to overcome personal demons that have never before been revealed. In this spellbinding biography, Andrew Morton draws upon far-reaching original interviews and research, accompanied by exclusive private photographs, to show us the true story behind both the wild excesses of Angelina's youth and her remarkable work with children and victims of poverty and disaster today.

Book Description
Angelina Muniz-Huberman's historical novel, A Mystical Journey, combines poetic prose and an improbable happy ending. Within the structure of the archetypal journey of the hero, a Jewish teenager in late sixteenth-century Spain manages to avoid the Inquisition by joining a perilous Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He is assisted by a magical muleteer who appears and disappears periodically in different guises until the protagonist and his beloved Miriam are safely settled in the northern town of Safed. Although the author's attention to Jewish history and her poetic style mark the majority of her books of fiction and essays, A Mystical Journey is one of her most important works and one that contributes to her reputation as one of the most important contemporary writers in Mexico and Latin America.

In an attempt to find comfort after his wife’s latest infidelity, the journalist Carston Fielding returns from England to Manzanilla – his idealised West Indian island on which he was born and spent his childhood. Instead of the tropical paradise he remembers, he finds hordes of tourists, a violent, drug-fuelled culture and a profoundly discontented people.Hopelessly disillusioned, he prepares to return to England. Then he recalls Angelina, the little isolated neighbouring island which he had once heard of but never visited. Hoping to discover at least an echo of the West Indies he remembers, he delays his return and takes passage on a trading schooner, intending to stay for no more than two or three days.Angelina is an island out of time. There are no hotels, no tourists. Happy in their own traditional way of life, the people of the beautiful island have managed to escape the ‘development’ all around them. Carston soon learns all that is about to change. An American company plans to build a hotel complex on the island, ignoring the wishes of the people. Preoccupied with his own misery, and against his will, Carston finds himself drawn into the islanders’ struggle to remain as they are…Michael Humfrey’s thorough understanding of West Indian culture enriches this unusual story.
