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.

El relato histórico en primera persona de la mano del propio Paul McCartney de su triunfal reinvención post Beatles en la década de 1970 y el posterior auge de una de las bandas más icónicas de la década.Contado en una reveladora primera persona, este relato inmersivo de Paul McCartney y los Wings es la fascinante historia oral de una banda que llego a definir una generacion. 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.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show, musical de culto por antonomasia cuyo legado pasa de generación en generación, no solo revolucionó el cine y el teatro, sino que dejó también una profunda huella en la cultura pop gracias a su espiritu irreverente y a una mirada queer adelantada a su tiempo. El periodista y cronista cultural Popy Blasco se sumerge con toneladas de glitter en el fenomeno Rocky Horror, desentrañando sus multiples capas con contagiosa pasion en un ensayo que combina analisis cinematografico, cronica personal y reflexion historica. A lo largo del libro, nos cuenta el nacimiento de la obra a partir de la imaginacion de Richard O Brien, como fue el paso de los escenarios a la gran pantalla y el proceso por el que, despues de su inicial fracaso en taquilla, se convirtio en un inesperado exito en las sesiones de medianoche, instaurando el concepto de audience participation. Ademas, el autor examina con detalle la banda sonora, marcada por influencias glam y rock y la desbordante estetica camp de un filme repleto de guiños al cine de ciencia ficcion y terror de serie B (y Z). Explora tambien el impacto que ha tenido la pelicula en la contracultura en general y en la comunidad LGTBIQ+ en particular, que la ha abrazado como un espacio de rebeldia y expresion de la identida

The fascinating history of St Stephen s Chapel in the Palace of Westminster a building at the heart of British life for over 700 years Begun in 1292 the royal chapel of St Stephen was the crowning glory of the old palace of Westminster a place of worship for kings and a showcase of the finest architecture ritual and music the Plantagenets could muster But in 1548 as the Protestant Reformation reached its height St Stephen s was given a new purpose as the House of Commons Burned out in the great palace fire of 1834 the Commons chamber was then recreated on a remarkably similar medieval design perpetuating a way of doing politics that is recognisable to this day St Stephen s has been part of many lives over the centuries from the medieval masons who worked through the Black Death to complete the chapel to the generations of MPs who locked horns in the Commons chamber Threading together religion politics art architecture and narrative history John Cooper tells the story of the lost chapel an iconic building that reflects the national transition from medieval divine right monarchy to modern parliamentary democracy

La periodista Valeria Vegas construye en este precioso libro una semblanza emotiva, divertida y llena de sorpresas y chascarrillos de las principales mujeres que han construido en el último siglo, contra viento y marea, una de nuestras señas esenciales de identidad, el folclore flamenco. Ellas son la voz de nuestra cultura musical, españolearon por el mundo y vivieron vidas vertiginosas en tiempos dificiles, valientes, talentosas y... tan flamencas. Cuestionadas, infravaloradas y muchas veces injustamente olvidadas, nuestras folcloricas son mujeres de naturaleza volcanica, que cantaron y vivieron como nadie el amor y el drama. Sus historias, en tiempos en los que ser del sexo femenino no ayudaba, demuestran que eran astutas, que lograron controlar sus vidas y adelantarse a sus epocas mientras construian nuestro legado cultural mas internacional, llegando a ser algunas autenticas estrellas del cine y de la musica, y a relacionarse con las grandes figuras intelectuales de su epoca. El folclore flamenco ha sido denostado durante decadas por su aparente cercania al Regimen y su cierto olor a naftalina, sin embargo, a traves de la historia de sus mujeres mas punteras desde principios del siglo XX hasta hoy, la periodista Valeria Vegas quiere hacer justicia y dar cuenta de cuanto les debemos a todas ellas y cuan valientes fueron. A traves del colmillo afilado y la mirada ironica y cariñosa de su autora conoceremos las anecdotas, curiosidades y todo aquello que hizo unica y pionera a esa especie singular de mujeres que, para bien y para mal, nos guste o no, son nuestro patrimonio y nuestra cultura, nuestra historia y nuestra marca. *** "No es este un manual para flamencologos, puristas ni eruditos, que ya de entrada podrian cuestionar la reivindicacion de alguna de ellas, sino mas bien un repaso por la vida y obra de veintisiete mujeres que destacaron en la copla y el folclore nacional. Fueron la banda sonora de un pais cambiante, en continua transformacion, plasmando las emociones mas descarnadas y los sentimientos mas pasionales. La figura de la folclorica llega hasta nuestros dias en forma de emoji y de iman de nevera, como evidente reflejo de su calado en el imaginario colectivo. Santo y seña de una España que se reconocia en ellas, eran a su vez la cita ineludible de cualquier extranjero de pro que pasara por aqui. Y sino ya acudian ellas al pais de turno para demostrar su talento, y como dijo una, "españolear por el mundo". Respaldadas por agudos letristas y compositores, interpretaron con desgarro canciones que hablaban de desamor, de relaciones furtivas, de penas incurables, de secretos inconfesables y tormentos varios. Tambien alegraron al publico con temas jocosos en los que se ironizaba sobre la solteria, la edad, el matrimonio o la libertad de la mujer. En definitiva, pusieron voz y actitud a lo que mucha gente pensaba, soñaba o deseaba, y aquellas mujeres, muchas de ellas de origen humilde y a veces casi analfabetas, demostraron tener el talento necesario para la evocacion, en el dificil arte de ser contadoras de historias".

Un fascinante recorrido por la trayectoria de Cristóbal Hara, quien tras más de medio siglo como fotógrafo regresa a sus orígenes.Una invitación a redescubrir la frescura y el asombro con los que nacen las mejores fotografias. Un titulo imprescindible tanto para los amantes de la fotografia como para los lectores atraidos por historias de vida autenticas y transformadoras.La vida cotidiana española se muestra a traves de angulos inesperados y perspectivas fragmentadas que reflejan los rituales, las tradiciones y las idiosincrasias de la sociedad española.Despues de mas de cinco decadas detras de la camara, el autor evoca una epoca en la que ser un fotografo principiante era sinonimo de libertad, riesgo y descubrimiento. Desde su decision juvenil de abandonar el mundo empresarial para dedicarse a la fotografia, pasando por sus años de aprendizaje en las calles bajo la dictadura, hasta sus primeras colaboraciones internacionales, este libro reune las imagenes que dieron forma a su oficio. Con imagenes ineditas y relatos personales, el autor revela como nacio su vocacion -inspirada en Cartier-Bresson y forjada en las calles de la España franquista- y como ese espiritu de experimentacion lo ha acompañado a lo largo de r

La soledad es uno de los más extensos territorios de lo humano. Rilke nos anuncia su mensaje: "A través de Nietzsche comprendí que la soledad no es un castigo, sino una oportunidad para crear algo eterno". Este libro reconstruye la imagen de la soledad como una experiencia creativa, central para la constitucion de sujetos e identidades, en el corazon intimo del proceso artistico. Visita para ello, desde una metodologia estetica, de comparacion entre distintos procedimientos artisticos, la obra de Rilke, Montaigne, Rothko, Giacometti, Beckett, Nietzsche, Zambrano, Scelsi, Holderlin, Rossellini, Gould, Warhol y un amplio etcetera, como medio de entender la poetica, el "por que", de sus motivaciones. Concebido por sus autores como un proyecto de investigacion en curso, continua la exposicion-ensayo "Cabañas para pensar", como nuevo paso en una colaboracion entre ambos de mas de 25 años visitando las relaciones entre estetica y sociedad en autores como Valente, Tarkovski, Blanchot, Pasolini, Antonioni, Pessoa, Topor... Autores y obras de arte proyectan algo escondido y tal vez peligroso, que solo puede ser entrevisto por una mirada oblicua, que mas alla de los datos lea emociones: dolor, abandono, angustia, distancia, aun placer..., brumas que se muestran con claridad antes de que queramos atraparlas en una explicacion.
