They say that sometimes ghosts don't realise they're dead and wander around screaming because no one is paying them any attention. Well, in show business you may have been dead five years before you finally twig. You howl around the corridors of power while the elect march straight through. Then one day you catch yourself in a mirror and there is nothing looking back. In his highly anticipated third memoir, Rupert Everett tells the story of how he set out to make a film of Oscar Wilde's last days, and how that ten-year quest almost destroyed him. (And everyone else.)Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In '90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in '70s London, a 'weirdly tall, beyond size zero' teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama. Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the 'snakes and ladders' of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.
Sdraiato su una spiaggia della Giamaica, Rupert cerca ispirazione per il suo nuovo libro. Quando inaspettatamente incontra Anita Pallenberg, la storica ex di Keith Richards, invecchiata ma sempre affascinante, la sua mente inizia un viaggio all'inseguimento degli anni passati: le ultime esperienze nell'ambiente dello spettacolo, la scomparsa di amici e affetti, il ricordo indelebile e doloroso del padre. Dopo "Bucce di banana", in questo nuovo volume di memorie l'autore decide di mettersi ancora più a nudo e racconta incontri straordinari, delinea appassionanti ritratti di amici e rivali, distilla veleno e ironia sulle celebrità di Los Angeles e Londra, rievoca un esilarante e toccante pellegrinaggio con il padre a Lourdes e un'incauta incursione nel mondo dei reality televisivi dal finale catastrofico. Da New York a Mosca, da Berlino a Phnom Penh, "Anni svaniti" trasporta il lettore in una turbolenta avventura con un compagno di viaggio molto affascinante... anche se poco raccomandabile.

Rupert Everett zeigt in dieser humorvollen Satire sein schriftstellerisches Talent. Er erzählt biografisch von Rhys Waveral, der mit acht Jahren erkennt, dass er nie eine berühmte Schauspielerin werden kann.
British actor Rupert Everett charmed his way into moviegoers' affections with his scene-stealing performance in "My Best Friend's Wedding." Everett is also the gifted writer of this scathingly funny novel of a down-and-out actor's zany misadventures amid a wildly colorful menagerie of madcap trendsetters. Fame is a fleeting thing, as ex-soap opera star Rhys Waveral discovers. When he loses all his money in the stock market and no new acting jobs are forthcoming, eviction from his elegant hotel suite looms large. Stripped of all his assets, Rhys realizes he has only one thing left to himself. And a pair of jet-setting dowagers couldn't be more thrilled. From staid English country houses to flamboyant Parisian nightclubs and an outrageous costume ball in Tangiers, Rupert Everett spins a raucous and irresistible modern farce.
