"I'd come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down.But now destiny was about to manifest itself.I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else." So writes Bob Dylan in 'Chronicles: Volume One', his remarkable book exploring critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylan's eyes and open mind,we see Greenwich Village,circa 1961,when he first arrives in Manhattan.Dylan's New York is a magical city of possibilities - smoky,nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships.Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories,penetrating and tough.With the book's side trips to New Orleans,Woodstock,Minnesota and points west, 'Chronicles: Volume One' is an intimate and intensely personal recollection of extraordinary times.By turns revealing,poetical,passionate and witty, 'Chronicles: Volume One' is a mesmerizing window on Bob Dylan's thoughts and influences.Dylan's voice is distinctly American: generous of spirit, engaged,fanciful and rhythmic.Utilizing his unparalleled gifts of storytelling and the exquisite expressiveness that are the hallmarks of his music,Bob Dylan turns 'Chronicles: Volume One' into a poignant reflection on life,and the people and places that helped shape the man and the art.

Daniel Mark Epstein entretient avec Bob Dylan une relation particulière qui remonte à ce jour de 1963 où, âgé de quinze ans, il alla voir et entendre à Washington un jeune chanteur protestataire dont on commençait à beaucoup parler - c'était après Elvis, c'était avant les Beatles. La marque indélébile laissée par ce concert dans la mémoire et dans le coeur de l'auteur est à l'origine de cet ouvrage. .» Trou réparé en quatrième de couverture., Éditions Robert Laffont, 2011, 2.5, UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.NFINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.Bright,crisp,clean,glossy laminated,white background dw/dj with subject's colour portrait photographic illustrated upper panel with black lettering,same subject's portrait photograph but in b/w and reduced in size,to rear panel of dw/dj; with negligible shelf-wear and creasing to edges and corners - no nicks or tears present.Rear panel of dw/dj has light,superficial scoring and indentations - bds beneath unaffected though.Head of spine/backstrip minisculely bumped with reciprocal creasing.Top edges have slight,light dust-soiling with some minimal,sporadic foxing/spotting,fore-edges brighter and cleaner with no foxing/spotting; contents bright,tight,clean,solid and sound - virtually pristine - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corners - possibly unread?

Annie Lennox is an icon for pop music in the 80's and 90's.Her appeal is broad-ranging,her voice and image immediately distinctive. Consistently voted Best Female Artist,since 1983 she's achieved international success in partnership with Dave Stewart as Eurythmics. Behind her bright yet enigmatic image is a woman struggling to come to terms with her place in pop. In this,the first full-scale biography of Annie Lennox,Lucy O'Brien charts her career from the early troubled days of The Tourists to the monumental decision to take a pop sabbatical at the height of hercareer to work on behalf of the homeless.The book also traces her life story,starting in 1954 on an Aberdeen housing scheme,moving through an ill-fated period as a student at the Royal Academy of Music.There's her meeting with Dave Stewart, marriage to Krishna devotee Radha Raman,and later happier union with film-maker Uri Fruchtman. Not just a straightforward biography,'Annie Lennox' analyses through her own words and the views of others,her loves,beliefs and her music within the context of 1980's pop.It looks at the lure of the 'gender bending' female cross-dresser,the rise of New Age religion,the controversy of global charity aid and challenges of pop coupledom. Including interviews with friends,associates and Annie herself,it registers her worldwide impact.Lennox's pop personality has conveyed her as housewife,sister,superstar and political angel,manipulating pop image with a unique vision.This book gets to the heart of the woman. Lucy O'Brien's first book was a biography of Dusty Springfield entitled 'Dusty' (see rja34589),and was widely acclaimed.A freelance journalist and writer,she was a former music editor of 'City Limits',and has also spent periods working for The Guardian,Elle,the New Statesman,The Face and New Musical Express.She has presented items on Channel Four's 'The Tube',RTE,Radio 4,Radio London and LBC on subjects ranging from Madonna and karaoke singing to Bob Dylan and women in pop.
