Best Selling Books by Keith RIchards

La familia de Keith Richards vivía en Dartford, Inglaterra, y era muy musical. Su madre siempre tenía la radio puesta; su abuela tocaba el piano; su tía y él cantaban a dúo canciones de los Everly Brothers; su abuelo, Theodore Augustus Dupree (Gus), tocaba el violín, el saxo y la guitarra. Keith se crió durante los últimos años de la guerra mundial y la posguerra, cuando no era fácil hallar el lado alegre de Londres. Pero aquel niño y su abuelo pasearon por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Durante esas caminatas visitaban talleres donde se reparaban instrumentos rotos. Un día, Gus le mostró a Keith varios acordes de guitarra y le enseñó a tocar Malagueña. Ésa fue la introducción de Keith a la música y el origen de este conmovedor relato ilustrado por Theodora Richards, hija del autor.

Un conte pour enfants fabuleux écrit par Keith Richards en hommage à son grand-père. Véritable histoire de famille, c''est sa fille, l''artiste Theodora, qui l''a superbement illustré.

What is a wiseman? What is a prophet? Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone - in short - like Keith Richards. Here, at last, the wisdom of this indefatigable man is recorded and set forth. These are his visionary words- ''I would rather be a legend than a dead legend.'' Or ''Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed.'' And - indeed - ''I''ve never had a problem with drugs, only with policemen.'' Not merely a compendium of wisdom, this book is also a complete guide to the inner workings of a complex and inspired belief system, and the life of a man sanctified by fame. What Would Keith Richards Do? reminds us to learn from our mistakes, let our instincts lead us, and above all, do what Keith has done better than anyone - survive.

This book offers a unique look at a typical Illinois farm family across seventy years, through letters of friends and family. The Owen family letters will provide insight into the lives and events of a farming family in Illinois in the 1800s. Between 1840 and 1906, Jason and Abigail Owen and their daughter, Bertha Owen Bice, received eighty-eight letters from family and friends, which they saved. More than half of those letters were from Clarence and Mary Owen, Bertha''s brother and sister. Clarence was a soldier who enlisted in the 38th Infantry Regiment, Illinois, at the beginning of the U.S. Civil War. He was seventeen years old and wrote home often. Mary (also known as Mate) was a school teacher who left home at the age of twenty to teach about 200 miles away from her parents. In addition to the normal family activities, the authors of the letters refer to such events as the election of a "neighbor" to the White House, meeting "Crazy" Bill Sherman before the siege of Atlanta, and that "fire in Chicago." The book contains period maps, pertinent family trees, photographs of people, a cemetery containing family gravesites, and the letters themselves. It also contains two original civil war poems. The book cross-references events chronicled in the memoirs of the regimental commander Clarence Owen, one of the primary letter authors. An index to full-names, places and subjects completes this work. The authors are the great grandchildren of Bertha Owen.

Theodore Augustus Dupree, o Gus, desempenhou papel decisivo para a história do rock. Ao presentear seu neto Keith com o primeiro violão, ele incentivou a formação musical de quem se tornaria o guitarrista dos Rolling Stones. Gus e Eu – a história do meu avô e do meu primeiro violão, livro de estreia de Keith Richards como autor infantil, evoca os anos de convivência e aprendizado do garoto Keith com o velho Gus, com foco em sua paixão comum pela música. Gus tocava vários instrumentos, foi líder de uma banda de baile e a primeira grande influência na vida de Keith. Além do interesse pela música, os dois compartilhavam caminhadas por Londres no pós-guerra. Essas recordações, repletas de afeto, são ilustradas por Theodora Richards – a filha que Keith batizou em homenagem a Gus. Fotos de álbuns da família Richards também fazem parte da obra.

Le guitariste du groupe The Rolling Stones se dévoile dans cette autobiographie.

Autobiography of the guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards. With the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards lived the original rock and roll life. He tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane; his listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, the Rolling Stones'' first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as outlaw folk hero, creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." He discusses falling in love with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones, his tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction, as well as falling in love with Patti Hansen, and his bitter estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. He talks about his marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos; the road that goes on forever.
