This is the story, in their own words, of a band that came to define a generation. Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run tells the madcap history of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band, from their humble beginnings in the early 1970s to their dissolution barely a decade later. Drawn from over 500,000 words of interviews with McCartney, family and band members, and other key participants, Wings recounts the musical odyssey taken by a man searching for his identity in the aftermath of The Beatles breakup. Soon joined by his wife American photographer Linda McCartney on keyboard and vocals, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Denny Laine, McCartney sowed the seeds for a new band that would provide the soundtrack to the decade.Organised chronologically around McCartney, RAM and nine Wings albums, the narrative begins when a twenty-seven-year-old superstar, rumoured to be dead, fled with his new wife to a remote sheep farm in Scotland amid a sea of legal and personal rows. Being there gave McCartney time to create and was where this new band emerged. Wings then follows the group as they play unannounced shows at university halls, tour in a sheared-off double-decker bus with their children, survive a robbery on the streets of Nigeria, and eventually perform blockbuster stadium shows on their world tour, all while producing some of the most enduring music of the time.With extraordinary recollections collected by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville and edited into a genre-defining oral history by Ted Widmer, Wings transports the reader to the grit and glamour of the 1970s. Introduced with a heartfelt foreword by McCartney, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run contains 150 black-and-white and colour photographs, many previously unseen, as well as timelines, a gigography and a full discography, in an art form all its own.

Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run narra la asombrosa, casi improbable, historia de Paul McCartney y su recien formada banda desde 1971 hasta su disolucion apenas una decada despues. Basada en mas de horas y horas de entrevistas con McCartney, musicos clave y familiares, Wings relata conmovedoramente, con la sabiduria de medio siglo a sus espaldas, la historia de un hombre y musico que lidio con las consecuencias de la separacion de los Beatles, y al que pronto se unieron su esposa la fotografa estadounidense Linda McCartney en los teclados y la voz, el bateria Denny Seiwell y el guitarrista Denny Laine, entre otros musicos que pasaron por el grupo.Organizada en torno a los nueve albumes de los Wings, la narracion sigue a la aventurera banda mientras sobreviven a un robo en las calles de Nigeria, aparecen sin previo aviso en varias residencias universitarias, realizan giras en un destartalado autobus de dos pisos con sus hijos, todo ello, mientras producen algunos de los temas mas perdurables de la decada. Con 150 fotografias en blanco y negro y un cuadernillo a color, muchas de ellas ineditas, esta es una gran obra emblematica de una originalidad deslumbrante sobre una extraordinaria banda, de la que hay mucho que contar.

Like a long winters dream, this haunting and visionary new novel from 2024 Nobel Prize winner Han Kang takes us on a journey from contemporary South Korea into its painful historyBeginning one morning in December, We Do Not Part traces the path of Kyungha as she travels from the city of Seoul into the forests of Jeju Island, to the home of her old friend Inseon. Hospitalized following an accident, Inseon has begged Kyungha to hasten there to feed her beloved pet bird, who will otherwise die.Kyungha takes the first plane to Jeju, but a snowstorm hits the island the moment she arrives, plunging her into a world of white. Beset by icy wind and snow squalls, she wonders if she will arrive in time to save the bird or even survive the terrible cold which envelops her with every step. As night falls, she struggles her way to Inseons house, unaware as yet of the descent into darkness which awaits her.There, the long-buried story of Inseons family surges into light, in dreams and memories passed from mother to daughter, and in a painstakingly assembled archive documenting a terrible massacre on the island seventy years before.We Do Not Part is a hymn to friendship, a eulogy to the imagination and above all an indictment against forgetting.
