Tough Actsby Steven Berkoff Read by Hilary Michel (1 Cd) Berkoff writes in fascinating detail about many of the legendary directors and actors he has worked with, including Stanley Kubrick, Mikhall Baryshnikov, Christopher Walken, Sylvester Stallone, Leonard Rossiter, Roman Polanski, Eddie Murphy, Joan Collins, Christopher Plummer, Stella Adler, Brad Davis and Al Pacino. Berkoff vividly captures the unique and intense kind of closeness that develops during the rehearsal period and the run of a play or the time of a film shoot and the volatile and unpredictable encounters that this sudden and intense intimacy can produce. Full of first-hand stories and observations of the stars he has worked with creatively and seen in the raw, and based in part on his detailed journals. 'Tough Acts' is a compelling read which provides an intriguing insight into the vivid and intense experiences that make up Steven Berkoff's enthralling and often surrealist world. No. 1408 True To Both Myselvesby Katrin Fitzherbert Read by Sylvia Clarke (1 Cd) This is a very daring journey into the memory of a life between two nationalities, two sets of values, two lives entirely separated from each other. Fitzherbert not only works through her past with refreshing, and at times astounding honesty, but also provides a window into the minds of those German children who grew up in Germany during the time of the third Reich. By inviting the reader to join her as she re-lives her own life story, she sheds light on questions of national and personal guilt and on gaining an insight into the experiences of young Germans in Nazi Germany.
Read by Diana Toeman (1 Cd) This is the saga of two fascinating Russian-Jewish women making ends meet. It tells of them making homes, making agonizing compromises in the most terrible times of the twentieth century and much more. Beautifully written and deeply felt, it is witty, colourful, tragic and seething with life and character.
Read by Irene Kreitman (1 Cd) This book aptly describes a journey in 22 stories telling, with humour, tales of the Jewish experience. Born in Hungary, Biro is today a writer and publisher living in France. With his extraordinary gift for storytelling he has skilfully interspersed his own family history with tales of other immigrants, as well as those of Schnorrers Matchmakers, Gossips and even golf-playing Rabbis.
Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) This is the story of four poor brothers of Lithuanian parents who arrive in Leeds in the late 19th century. Two of the brothers sacrifice their own education to make it possible for the other two to avoid the sweatshops of Leeds. There are minor rises and major falls to this epic story which describes life during the First World War and during the British Raj in India before independence.
Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) A journey through central Europe (Prague, Hungary and Poland) to discover not only the lost synagogues but also remnants of lost Jewish communities decimated by the Nazis during World War ll. Their homes, villages, shops and cemeteries. No. 1392 Vidal - The Autobiographyby Vidal Sassoon Read by Ruth Hill Vidal Sassoon came from a poor working class background and spent time in a Bethnal Green orphanage with his younger brother Ivor. His mother insisted he train as a ladies hairdresser. Apprenticed to 'Professor' Adolph Cohen, he was taught the basics. With encouragement from Mr Teasy-Weasy and a client who lent him money he was able to open his first salon. Models, actresses and shop assistants flocked to his salons to have their hair styled into short, geometric shapes and asymmetrical cuts which became Vidals trademark around the world. Sheer hard work, a passion for innovation such as the combined shampoo and conditioner 'wash and go' as well as a zest for life and its opportunities is what made him a success. Names of famous clients and friends pepper the pages like Elizabeth Taylor, Mia Farrow and Mary Quant. This is a well written autobiography of someone who reminds us of the 1960's and 70's and tells us of the passions that drive him. His reward - a CBE in 2009.
Read by Ella Marks (1 Cd) To those listeners who remember Vilem Tausky as the conductor of the Carl Rosa Opera Company, and of the BBC Concert Orchestra, this will be a delightful insight into his life. It tells his story, from his birth as an Austrian in 1910 in what was to become the Republic of Czechoslovakia after the First World War, during his time in the free Czech Army in Britain during World War 2, where he conducted an Army band and meeting his British wife, until his death as a British citizen. He abandoned his parents' hopes of him becoming a lawyer and pursued his musical career. This is an autobiography although actually written by his wife from his dictation.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 2014. From the author of the New York Times bestseller A Train in Winter comes the extraordinary story of a French village that helped save thousands who were pursued by the Gestapo during World War II. High up in the mountains of the southern Massif Central in France lies a cluster of tiny, remote villages united by a long and particular history. During the Nazi occupation, the inhabitants of the Plateau Vivarais Lignon saved several thousand people from the concentration camps. There were no informers, no denunciations. The village kept silent. After the war, Le Chambon became 1 of only 2 places in the world to be honored by Yad Vashem s Righteous Among Nations. Caroline Moorehead has sought out and interviewed many of the people involved in this extraordinary undertaking, and brings us their unforgettable testimonies. It is a story of a small number of heroic individuals who risked their lives to save others, and of what can be done when people come together to oppose tyranny.
