* "The book provides plenty of biographical detail…and it does a creditable job of making connections between the personal and the political." ( Choice Reviews , May 2009) "Just past the round rotating bed, beyond the hot-tub grotto but before the pajama-draped walk-in, lies … what? If we're to believe this book, it's the Truth about Hugh Hefner-and, by proxy, about American life since the 1950s. Of course, the larger legacy of Playboy has been considered long and well (in these pages a couple of years ago, and elsewhere). But Watts, a history professor prone to interpreting American Dreamers (he has written stellar works on Henry Ford and Walt Disney), is wise to draw a narrow bead on Hef qua Hef, dividing his life into tidy quadrants of postwar influence and iconography: as sexual liberator, avatar of consumerism, pop-culture purveyor, lightning rod for feminist ire. He also succeeds in identifying and exploring raging personal paradoxes-hedonist and workaholic, libertine and romantic, provocateur and traditionalist-while resisting the urge to attempt reconciliation. The Horatio-Alger-with-a-libido case he makes-where else but in America could a repressed midwestern boy rise, and fall into so many sacks, while creating and brand-managing a multimedia empire?-is only intermittently convincing. Still, there's plenty to enjoy here, from the factual wealth (Watts was granted access to the vast Playboy vaults and draws heavily on his subject's compulsively kept scrapbook collection) to the photographs aplenty (some offer revelatory glimpses; others give off the whiff of stale cheesecake) to the fundamental pleasures of watching a larger-than-life figure scuttle social norms and satisfy his own lavish urges." ( The Atlantic , March 2009) "Riveting... Watts packs in plenty of gasp-inducing passages." ( Newark Star Ledger ) "Like it or not, Hugh Hefner has affected all of us, so I treasured learning about how and why in the sober biography." ( Chicago Sun Times ) "This is a fun book. How could it not be? Watts aims to give a full account of the man, his magazine and their place in social history. Playboy is no longer the cultural force it used to be, but it made a stamp on society." ( Associated Press ) "In Steven Watts' exhaustive, illuminating biography Mr. Playboy , Hefner's ideal for living -- marked by his allegiances to Tarzan, Freud, Pepsi-Cola and jazz -- proves to be a kind of gloss on the Protestant work ethic." ( Los Angeles Times ) When Hugh Hefner quit his job at Esquire to start a magazine called Playboy , he didn't just want to make money. He wanted to make dreams come true. The first issue of Playboy had a Sherlock Holmes story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, an article on the Dorsey brothers, and a feature on desk design for the modern office, called "Gentlemen, Be Seated." Hefner wrote much of the copy himself and drew all the cartoons. But the most memorable part by far was the set of pictures he bought from a local calendar printer of a scantily clad Marilyn Monroe. In this wise and penetrating biography, intellectual historian Steven Watts looks at what Hugh Hefner went onto become, and how he took America with him. Hefner became one of the most hated and envied celebrities in America, dating a long list of his magazine's beauties and always standing just barely on the wrong side of decency and moral uprightness. He also, at one time, had 7 million subscribers to his magazine. Though in time he would lose readers to more explicit magazines on one side and "lad" magazines on the other, the Playboy brand never lost its luster. "...highly-readable and thought-provoking biography written by academic historian, Stephen Watts" ( Desire , November 2008) Hugh Hefner started Pla, * "The book provides plenty of biographical detail...and it does a creditable job of making connections between the personal and the political."

Synopsis
The real Hugh Hefner-the extraordinary inside story of an American icon ""Riveting... Watts packs in plenty of gasp-inducing passages.""- Newark Star Ledger ""Like it or not, Hugh Hefner has affected all of us, so I treasured learning about how and why in the sober biography.""- Chicago Sun Times ""This is a fun book. How could it not be? Watts aims to give a full account of the man, his magazine and their place in social history. Playboy is no longer the cultural force it used to be, but it made a stamp on society.""- Associated Press ""In Steven Watts'' exhaustive, illuminating biography Mr. Playboy , Hefner''s ideal for living -- marked by his allegiances to Tarzan, Freud, Pepsi-Cola and jazz -- proves to be a kind of gloss on the Protestant work ethic.""- Los Angeles Times Gorgeous young women in revealing poses; extravagant mansion parties packed with celebrities; a hot-tub grotto, elegant smoking jackets, and round rotating beds; the hedonistic pursuit of uninhibited sex. Put these images together and a single name springs to mind-Hugh Hefner. From his spectacular launch of Playboy magazine and the dizzying expansion of his leisure empire to his recent television hit The Girls Next Door , the publisher has attracted public attention and controversy for decades. But how did a man who is at once socially astute and morally unconventional, part Bill Gates and part Casanova, also evolve into a figure at the forefront of cultural change?In Mr. Playboy , historian and biographer Steven Watts argues that, in the process of becoming fabulously wealthy and famous, Hefner has profoundly altered American life and values. Granted unprecedented access to the man and his enterprise, Watts traces Hef''s life and career from his midwestern, Methodist upbringing and the first publication of Playboy in 1953 through the turbulent sixties, self-indulgent seventies, reactionary eighties, and traditionalist nineties, up to the present. He reveals that Hefner, from the beginning, believed he could overturn social norms and take America with him.This fascinating portrait illustrates four ways in which Hefner and Playboy stood at the center of several cultural upheavals that remade the postwar United States. The publisher played a crucial role in the sexual revolution that upended traditional notions of behavior and expectation regarding sex. He emerged as one of the most influential advocates of a rapidly developing consumer culture, flooding Playboy readers with images of material abundance and a leisurely lifestyle. He proved instrumental-with his influential magazine, syndicated television shows, fashionable nightclubs, swanky resorts, and movie and musical projects-in making popular culture into a dominant force in many people''s lives. Ironically, Hefner also became a controversial force in the movement for women''s rights. Although advocating women''s sexual freedom and their liberation from traditional family constraints, the publisher became a whipping boy for feminists who viewed him as a prophet for a new kind of male domination.Throughout, Watts offers singular insights into the real man behind the flamboyant public persona. He shows Hefner''s personal dichotomies-the pleasure seeker and the workaholic, the consort of countless Playmates and the genuine romantic, the family man and the Gatsby-like host of lavish parties at his Chicago and Los Angeles mansions who enjoys well-publicized affairs with numerous Playmates, the fan of life''s simple pleasures who hobnobs with the Hollywood elite.Punctuated throughout with descriptions and anecdotes of life at the Playboy Mansions, Mr. Playboy tells the compelling and uniquely American story of how one person with a provocative idea, a finger on the pulse of popular opinion, and a passion for his work altered the course of modern history.

Spans from Hefner's childhood to the launch of Playboy magazine and the expansion of t, Praise for Steven Watts's The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century "Intelligent, thorough, and engaging. . . . The implicit claim of Watts's admirable book is almost inarguable that it's impossible to understand twentiethcentury America without knowing the story of Henry Ford." The New York Times Book Review "Ford has had many biographers. . . . None, however, comes close to Steven Watts. . . . He brilliantly reveals the nature of Ford's genius." Chicago Tribune "An energetic and altogether fascinating look at an eccentric genius who helped make modern America." Los Angeles Times "Watts's judicious exploration of the feats and foibles of Henry Ford provides a timely and compelling model of how to cut through the hype and tell the real story." The Washington Post Praise for Steven Watts's The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life "Gives us a vivid portrait of the man behind Mickey Mouse, while at the same time situating his anomalous achievement within a social and aesthetic context. . . . A terrifically readable and illuminating book." The New York Times "A treasure trove of information on the Disney enterprise. . . . An invaluable mine of material on how the American century became the Disney century." Los Angeles Times "An excellent book. . . . A subtle, generousminded account of Walt Disney's legacy." The Economist (London), "From the beginning, Hefner's personal experiences provided the stuff of his public career. The private man relentlessly pursued his dream of "personal, political, and economic freedom" and viewed his pursuit of fun not as immature, something critics often charged, but as a happy embodiment of childhood optimism in a cynical world., The real Hugh Hefner-the extraordinary inside story of an American icon ""Riveting...

- v***v (2057)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
