The poems in Chocolate Che were written in Cuba in the fiftieth year of the revolution; in India working with dying destitutes and recovering from tuberculosis; travelling up and down the spine of the Americas and into the heart of Europe on the trail of soldiers, artists and monks. Damian Furniss works images into narratives that are both darkly humorous and strangely moving. Using forms as varied as their subjects, with characteristic verbal intensity and a probing wit, he returns to the fixations of his youth in wry but reflective maturity. Along the way, he encounters the Dalai Lama and Mother Teresa; visits the houses of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, only to find no one's at home; and collects the stubs of cigars that might once have been smoked by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, but probably weren't.
***THE RUNAWAY BESTSELLER, WITH NEW MATERIAL FOR THE PAPERBACK*** THE REVEALING, DEFINING ACCOUNT OF THE DARK NETWORK THAT BROKE OUR COUNTRY. Something has gone really wrong in Britain. Our economy has tanked, our freedoms are shrinking, and social divisions are growing. Our politicians seem most interested in their own careers, and much of the media only make things worse. We are living in a country almost unrecognisable from the one that existed a decade ago. But whose fault is it really? Who broke Britain and how did they do it? Bold and incisive as ever, James O'Brien reveals the shady network of influence that has created a broken Britain of strikes, shortages and scandals. He maps the web connecting dark think tanks to Downing Street, the journalists involved in selling it to the public and the media bosses pushing their own agendas. Over ten chapters, each focusing on a particular person complicit in the downfall, James O'Brien reveals how a select few have conspired - sometimes by incompetence, sometimes by design - to bring Britain to its knees.
In Bob Dylan: Prophet Without God, Jeffrey Edward Green defends the idea of Bob Dylan as a modern-day prophet, albeit a prophet of an unprecedented type. Placing Dylan into conversation with a wide array of intellectual figures, Green argues that Dylan is not a prophet of salvation, but rather a "prophet without God." Dylan speaks to the ideals that have animated earlier prophets but breaks from past tradition by testifying to the conflicts between these ideals, leading him to make novel contributions to the meaning of self-reliance, the quest for rapprochement between the religious and non-religious, and the problem of how ordinary people might operate in a fallen political world.

Dieses Buch ist keine chronologische Nacherzählung der Beatles-Geschichte. Es ist auch keine Auflistung ihrer veröffentlichten Platten. Stattdessen versucht es, Fragen wie diese zu klären: Warum erwähnt Leonhard Bernstein Songs der Beatles in einem Atemzug mit Camus und Sartre? Warum vergleicht der Schriftsteller A.S. Byatt 'Eleanor Rigby' mit Samuel Beckett? Und warum hätte Steve Jobs die Masterbänder der Beatles aus dem brennenden Haus gerettet und nicht die der Stones? Und es geht um die wichtigsten Einflüsse, die auf die Beatles gewirkt haben. Um schließlich zu verstehen, wie aus Pop Kunst werden kann. Das geht nicht ohne Bilder und Musik. Deshalb finden Sie mehr als 120 QR-Codes, die Sie zu den entsprechenden Clips von YouTube oder zu Texten im Original weiterleiten. Satisfaction guaranteed!
