Les Beatles

release date: Jan 01, 2000
Les Beatles
Peu de gens ont vécu de l''intérieur l''histoire des Beatles comme l''a fait Barry Miles. Personne n''a jamais décrit autant en détail l''intimité d''un groupe de légende. Bien plus qu''une simple chronologie, cet album illustré de centaines de photographies rares est l''histoire authentique des Fab Four, racontée telle qu''elle s''est réellement déroulée, entre les moments forts et le train-train quotidien de leur célébrité planétaire. Le résultat en est la chronique la plus révélatrice et la plus personnelle jamais écrite sur les Beatles, sur leurs concerts, leurs séances d''enregistrement, leur vie privée, leurs démêlés avec la police, les tentions qui naquirent entre eux... Leur histoire fascinera ceux qui ont grandi au son de leurs chansons. Indispensable à tous ceux qui s''intéressent au phénomène rock le plus influent qui ait jamais existé.

Jack Kerouac

release date: Jan 01, 1999
Jack Kerouac
La vie de Jack Kerouac - depuis son enfance au Canada jusqu''à sa fin misérable, alcoolique et reclus avec sa mère - est celle d''un homme qui avait l''art de transformer sa vie, et les personnes de son entourage, en légendes. Mais qu''est-ce qui fit de ce jeune homme timide et inquiet, qui ne savait même pas conduire une voiture, une idole cool, d''un romantisme plein de panache dans l''Amérique conformiste des fifties ? Comment un écrivain frustré et conservateur a-t-il pu devenir le porte-parole d''une génération " libérée ", où il ne s''est jamais vraiment reconnu ? Grâce à une lecture critique et sans complaisance de l''œuvre, Barry Miles déconstruit le mythe pour faire apparaître les contradictions qui se jouent entre l''écrivain et son image. En s''appuyant sur des témoignages d''Allen Ginsberg, de William Burroughs et des compagnons de route de Kerouac, il retrace le portrait contrasté et saisissant d''un homme à la dérive, écrivain génial et " clochard céleste ".
