George
George is the story of two lives - the private man and the public legend. Georgios Panayiotou was just eighteen when he decided to adopt the stage name of George Michael. Sometimes his two worlds would collide with shattering consequences. Bestselling biographer Sean Smith has gone back to the neighbourhoods of North London to trace the astonishing journey of a sensitive but determined boy who grew up to be one of the biggest British pop stars of all time. Along the way, he talks to those close to George, revealing the real man - funny, articulate, intelligent and generous spirited - who hid behind the powerful image he created. He reveals the complex relationship with his high-achieving Greek-Cypriot father; the unconditional love of his mother; his teenage relationships with girls; and his first tragic love affair with another man. George's career began falteringly with a schoolboy band, exploded with Wham! before he became a solo phenomenon. But at the height of his fame, the world seemed to turn against him. Smith describes his despair at losing the two people who mattered most, how he sought consolation in drugs, his notorious 'coming out' and how he ended up in jail. His health failed him and he died heartbreakingly alone on Christmas Day, 2016. Affectionate yet honest and moving, George is both a celebration of George Michael's music and a lasting tribute to a decent and much-loved man.

Hotell George, E-bok
Man kan tycka att det är ett bisarrt tillvägagångsätt som George och George Junior använde sig av för att få råd med renoveringen av det ärofyllda hotellet som familjen drivit i sjuttio år. Men det fungerade ju. Fru Beata som bott här i snart tjugo år lever upp då huset fylls av nya människor. Då alla som tar arbete flyttar in. Till och med hantverkarna finner sig ett rum på tredje våningen. I Hotell George möts människor med skiftande öden för att våga drömma om framtiden, där Hotellet ska vara renoverat och skina i all sin glans. I Hotell George där skuggorna från det förgångna som legat i dvala möts med nuet då Fru Beata påminns om att hon kanske inte sålde godset, det kanske finns kvar? Möt denna samling av karaktärer i ett hörn av världen där traditioner möter förändring, och där varje nytt avslöjande kan antingen bräcka eller binda dem samman för alltid.
