內容精釆豐富，是一本貝克漢夫妻千方百計想阻止上市的書。」──英國鏡報 1997年，史上最成功的女子合唱團－辣妹（Spice Girls）成員維多利亞，遇上了英國最俊美的足球明星貝克漢，兩人展開了一段浪漫熱戀，並在世人的關注下結為連理。此後這兩人神仙美眷般恩愛的生活、揮金若土的豪奢習性，以及排山倒海而來的流言緋聞，每每成為眾人目光的焦點。英國的媒體戲稱，在黛妃去世之後，原本習慣兵分兩路的狗仔隊只剩一個目標－貝克漢夫婦，「新皇族」和「時尚界的國王與皇后」的王冠始終在兩人頭上散發耀眼光芒。 表面上看來，維多利亞和貝克漢的生活像是一則完美的童話故事，然而事實真是如此嗎？在這本由英國知名傳記作家安德魯？莫頓（Andrew Morton）所著的書中，藉由深刻的觀察及嚴謹的舉證，毫不留情的披露了這對金童玉女光鮮外表下的真實生活。包括貝克漢艱辛的奮鬥史；維多利亞與辣妹合唱團的恩怨情仇；夫妻間的真情時刻與婚姻生活的甜蜜與磨難；貝克漢家的親子關係－還有這一家人如何飽受死亡威脅等精彩內容，帶領讀者深入華麗的帷幕，一窺名人、明星卸粧後的真面目，及聲名財富背後的血汗代價。 值得一提的是，在英國，當貝克漢夫妻得知本書即將上市，即千方百計、用盡一切方法阻撓，包括在公開媒體大肆抨擊，指責本書內容不實，最後甚至一狀告上法庭。然經雙方舉證後，法官認為本書所言皆有可靠憑據，裁定貝克漢夫婦敗訴。此事件在當時喧騰一時，成為大眾議論的焦點，《貝克漢與維多利亞－新皇族的真實人生》一書也順勢榮登暢銷書榜，熱潮歷久不衰。 作者簡介 Andrew Morton 安德魯？莫頓 出生於一九五三年在約克郡。於里茲受教育並且在薩克斯大學獲得歷史榮譽學位。他在西區接受明鏡集團新聞訓練活動，曾經在許多週報與星期日報工作過，經過資格考核後，他開始於曼徹斯特的國家報紙工作，之後於一九八一年前往佛里特街(倫敦報社街)。從一九八二年開始，他為許多報紙負責皇室消息撰寫專欄，包括了每日郵報(the Daily Mail)、世界新聞(News of the World)與每日之星(Daily Star)。他在報社街的事業包含了許多皇室「內幕」─第一位報導安德魯王子與莎拉？佛姬之間的羅曼史，也是第一位報導他們分手消息的記者。在那段期間，他寫了許多關於皇室家族的書，包括安德魯王子的傳記與皇家郵輪「大不列顛號」的歷史。一九八八年，他離開新聞界，專心

In this book Brooks McNamara explores the world of the concert saloon in New York from the Civil War to the early years of the twentieth century. A concert saloon is defined as an establishment offering various kinds of entertainment, including alcohol, with some also providing gambling and prostitution. All of these saloons employed 'waiter girls' to sell drinks and sit with male customers and all had bad reputations. McNamara focuses on the theatrical aspects of the concert saloon and examines the sources of saloon shows, the changes in direction during the century, the performing spaces and equipment, as well as the employees and patrons. McNamara paints a picture of a lively and theatrically fascinating environment and his work sheds light on our understanding of American popular theatre. The book contain informative illustrations and will be of interest to historians of theatre, popular culture and American social history.

Tells the stories of ten girls who remained strong in their faith and changed the world.
