Before there was Marilyn, there was Norma Jeane The photos and secret memoirs of Marilyn Monroes first photographer and lifelong friend Fashion photographer Andre de Dieness life was changed forever one day in 1945 when he met a lovely young aspiring model named Norma Jeane Dougherty. He instantly fell in love with her innocence and charm and the two were briefly engaged. They took many adventurous road trips together in those early years, de Dienes shooting Norma Jeane in every possible natural setting in his original, inspired style. He soon built up a huge portfolio of stunning photographs of the smiling brunette which helped to launch her model career and, a few years later, a film career that was to make her a legend. His entire relationship with the star, including many private moments shared only between the two, is detailed in de Dieness secret memoirs, which were discovered when Monroe fans ravaged his home after his death in 1988. The memoirs tell a beautiful story of love and friendship from the point of view of someone who knew Marilyn intimately; describing the transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe - the evolution of a sensitive, ambitious girl into a deeply troubled megastar - from an inside perspective, they shed light on a little-known side of Marilyn. From their trip to see Norma Jeanes mother in a mental hospital to Marilyns visit to his home a few days before her death, de Dienes recounts all of the emotional moments they shared. The combination of de Dieness memoirs and an extensive selection of his Monroe photographs (which numbered in the thousands) makes for an unprecedented, personal exploration into the psychology, history, and iconography of the worlds favorite movie star. The editor: California-native Steve Crists TASCHEN titles include Andre de Dieness Marilyn, William Claxtons Steve McQueen, and The Polaroid Book.

A young peasant girl is sold as servant and apprentice to a renowned geisha house. She tells her story many years later from the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Her memoirs conjure up the perfection and the ugliness of life behind rice-paper screens, where young girls learn the arts of geisha - dancing and singing, how to wind the kimono, how to walk and pour tea, and how to beguile the lands most powerful men. This story is a rare and utterly engaging experience, summoning up a quarter century of Japans dramatic history, and opening a window into a half-hidden world of eroticism and enchantment, exploitation and degradation.
