Rumbo a la Gloria

release date: Jan 01, 2009
Rumbo a la Gloria
Apenas iniciados los años treinta del pasado siglo, un jovencísimo Woody Guthrie abandonó la devastada Oklahoma de su infancia para emprender un viaje que sólo detendría la muerte tres décadas más tarde. Rodando a pie o a dedo por los polvorientos caminos de la Gran Depresión, persiguiendo la quimera del Oeste en vagones de carga compartidos con vagabundos, pordioseros y emigrantes, conviviendo con los parias de la tierra en tabernas, fondas, fábricas o campos de cultivo, Guthrie quiso vivir entre las voces de esa América que algunos llaman profunda para tejer con ellas un prodigioso legado de canciones cuyos ecos no han dejado de sonar en la música popular contemporánea. De ese centón sale uno de los hilos que ha enhebrado, entre otros, Bob Dylan. Pero Guthrie nos legó también un relato en prosa de su peregrinación inacabada, una singular autobiografía que consigue recrear las múltiples texturas de un hombre, de una época y de una visión que no podemos dejar en las garras del olvido. Cuando reseñó la obra para el New York Times, Clifton Fadiman rindió a su autor este homenaje: «algún día la gente advertirá que Woody Guthrie y las diez mil canciones que desprenden las cuerdas de su guitarra pertenecen al patrimonio nacional tanto como Yellowstone o Yosemite, que forman parte de lo mejor que este país puede ofrecer al mundo».

House of Earth Unabridged CD

House of Earth Unabridged CD
Featuring the song, "House of Earth" performed by Lucinda Williams. Finished in 1947 and lost to readers until now, House of Earth is Woody Guthrie''s only fully realized novel, a powerful portrait of dust bowl America. It is the story of an ordinary couple''s dreams of a better life and their search for love and meaning in a corrupt world. Tike and Ella May Hamlin struggle to plant roots in the arid land of the Texas Panhandle. Living in a wooden shack, Tike yearns for a sturdy house that will protect them from the treacherous elements. He has the know-how to build a structure made from the land itself—a house of earth. Though they are one with the farm and with each other, the land on which Tike and Ella May live and work is not theirs. Thanks to larger forces, their adobe house remains painfully out of reach. House of Earth is a searing portrait of hardship and hope set against a ravaged landscape, a powerful tale of America from one of our greatest artists.

La maison de terre
Dans le Texas des années 30, Tike et Ella May, jeune couple d''agriculteurs, ont bien du mal à planter de quoi vivre sur cette terre aride. Ella May est enceinte et ne veut pas continuer à habiter leur cabane en bois envahie par les insectes. Problème, ils n''ont pas le sou pour s''offrir le lopin de terre censé accueillir la maison de leurs rêves. Mais l''Etat et les banques ont tout prévu. Il suffit de leur faire confiance... La Maison de terre est un portrait brûlant de la misère et de l''espoir butant contre un paysage ravagé. Combinant le sens moral de John Steinbeck avec l''érotisme cru de D H Lawrence, voici un puissant récit de l''Amérique de la Grande Dépression, brossé par l''un de ses plus grands artistes.
