Título : ASTRAL WEEKS : A Secret History of 1968 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Ryan H. Walsh, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PENGUIN BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2018 Número de páginas: 357 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-7352-2136-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Rock Music History and Criticism 1960 History 20th Century Clasificación: 782.42 Chanson : classer ici les ouvrages généraux Resumen: Van Morrison's Astral Weeks is an iconic rock album shrouded in legend, a masterpiece that has touched generations of listeners and influenced everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Martin Scorsese. In his first book, acclaimed musician and journalist Ryan H. Walsh unearths the album's fascinating backstory--along with the untold secrets of the time and place that birthed it: Boston 1968.
On the 50th anniversary of that tumultuous year, Walsh's book follows a criss-crossing cast of musicians and visionaries, artists and hippie entrepreneurs, from a young Tufts English professor who walks into a job as a host for TV's wildest show (one episode required two sets, each tuned to a different channel) to the mystically inclined owner of radio station WBCN, who believed he was the reincarnation of a scientist from Atlantis. Most penetratingly powerful of all is Mel Lyman, the folk-music star who decided he was God, then controlled the lives of his many followers via acid, astrology, and an underground newspaper called Avatar.
A mesmerizing group of boldface names pops to life in Astral Weeks: James Brown quells tensions the night after Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated; the real-life crimes of the Boston Strangler come to the movie screen via Tony Curtis; Howard Zinn testifies for Avatar in the courtroom. From life-changing concerts and chilling crimes, to acid experiments and film shoots, Astral Weeks is the secret, wild history of a unique time and placeReserva

Título : A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: TOOLE,JOHN KENNEDY, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PENGUIN BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2006 Número de páginas: 428 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-14-102346-5 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: HUMUROUS FICTION;CLASSIC FICTION Resumen: After four decades, the peerless wit and indulgent absurdity of A Confederacy of Dunces continues to attract new readers. Though the manuscript was rejected by many publishers during John Kennedy Toole’s lifetime, his mother successfully published the book years after her son’s suicide, and it won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. This literary underdog and comic masterpiece has sold more than two million copies in over two dozen languages.
A Confederacy of Dunces features one of the most memorable protagonists in American literature, Ignatius J. Reilly, whom Walker Percy dubbed “slob extraordinaire, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one.” Set in New Orleans with a wild cast of characters including Ignatius and his mother; Miss Trixie, the octogenarian assistant accountant at Levi Pants; inept, wan Patrolman Mancuso; Darlene, the Bourbon Street stripper with a penchant for poultry; and Jones, the jivecat in space-age dark glasses, the novel serves as an outlandish but believable tribute to a city defined by its parade of eccentric denizens.
The genius of A Confederacy of Dunces is reaffirmed as successive generations embrace this extravagant satire. Adulation for Toole’s comic epic remains as intense today as it was at the time of its initial publication.Reserva

Título : FIGHTER BOYS The battle of Britain, 1940 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: BISHOP, PATRICK, Autor Editorial: LONDON : PENGUIN BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2004 Número de páginas: 434p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-14-200466-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Britain Battle of Great Britain 1940
Britain 1940 -- Personal narratives British
Great Britain Royal Air Force Fighter Command -- History
World War 1939-1945 -- Aerial operations BritishResumen: For 123 days in the summer of 1940, 3,000 youthful airmen in the Royal Air Force fought back against Hitler’s advancing forces with a heroism that astonished the world. Drawing on interviews with scores of surviving pilots as well as diaries and letters never before seen, military historian and journalist Patrick Bishop re-creates with astonishing intimacy and clarity this excruciating, exhilarating war of nerves. In their own words, the pilots describe what it was like to bale out from a stricken plane, to go into battle in the face of overwhelming odds, to hear the screams of a comrade as he went down in flames. With a riveting, taut narrative, Fighter Boys relates how those young heroes changed the course of World War II—and the history of the modern world. Ejemplares
