Among the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism”.

Writing for the magazine and its glossy, big sister Ebony, for 53 years, longer than any other journalist, Washington bureau chief Simeon Booker was on the front lines of virtually every major event of the revolution that transformed America.

Marcel Reich-Ranicki hat das literarische Leben in Deutschland geprägt wie wenige andere: Als Leiter der Literaturredaktion der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung war er der erfolgreichste, aber auch umstrittenste Literaturkritiker seiner Zeit. Mit dem "Literarischen Quartett" wurde das Fernsehen zur machtvollen Bühne seiner Kritik. Was er lobte, wurde gelesen, gefürchtet waren seine Verrisse. In diesem Hörbuch erleben wir ihn in seinen eigenen Worten.

"Ho sempre creduto che la vita fosse disporre sul tavolo, nel miglior modo possibile, le carte che ti sei trovato in mano. Invece all'improvviso ne arriva una che spariglia tutte le altre, e la vita è proprio come ti giochi quell'ultima carta. Per ciascuno di noi l'esistenza è costellata di eventi che in prima battuta sono sembrati inaffrontabili, e invece poi hanno portato a una rinascita, a un nuovo equilibrio. Penso che ci sia un ordine più saggio che governa il mondo e di cui spesso ignoriamo il senso, la prospettiva.

These are threats American journalist Sigrid Schultz knew all too well.
