La Mirada Apasionada es una recopilación de textos realizada y ordenada por su autora: Suzanne Vega. Incluyendo todas las letras de sus canciones -junto a otras escritas para Joe Jackson, Mitchell Froom o Philip Glass-, poesia, relatos, articulos, fragmentos de su diario y una sorprendente entrevista realizada por Leonard Cohen, Suzanne Vega nos demuestra ser una poeta urbana cuya mirada apasionada atrapa el movimiento y vibrante color de la vida que nos rodea. Con imagenes evocadoras y verdad clarividente, la cantante transforma su experiencia personal en oscuro y hermoso arte, y su singular viaje a traves de un paisaje emocional, a veces duro, a menudo cruel, pero nunca esteril ni desprovisto de esperanza, nos habla de crimenes privados, guerras interiores, el dolor de la necesidad y cadenas de ley tacita.Hija adoptiva del escritor portorriqueño Ed Vega, Suzanne Vega nacio en 1959 y es la mayor de cuatro hermanos. En 1985 publico su primer album, Suzanne Vega, que incluia el tema que le abriria las puertas a la popularidad: Marlene on the Wall. La consagracion, sin embargo, le llegaria con su segundo disco, Solicitude Standing (1987), y su gran exito Luka -la historia de un niño autista maltratado por sus padres-. Siguieron Days of Open Hand (1990), 99.9 Fº (1992) y Nine Objects Of Desire (1996). En su obra hay frecuentes referencias a la cultura mediterranea: España -como el poema titulado Inacabada, dedicado a la Sagrada Familia de Gaudi, en Barcelona-, Portugal -donde fue invitada, en 1988, por el presidente Soares -Italia y Grecia

Suso Vaamonde loitou sempre pola defensa dun pobo, dunha terra e dunha lingua. Hoxe reivindicámolo como unha das figuras máis relevantes da música galega nesta biografía completa e definitiva a cargo

Bono - artist, activist and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2 - has written his autobiography: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life he's lived, the challenges he's faced and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him.'When I started to write this book I was hoping to draw in detail what I'd previously only sketched in songs. The people, places, and possibilities in my life. Surrender is a word freighted with meaning for me. Growing up in Ireland in the seventies with my fists up (musically speaking), it was not a natural concept. A word I only circled until I gathered my thoughts for the book. I am still grappling with this most humbling of commands. In the band, in my marriage, in my faith, in my life as an activist. Surrender is the story of one pilgrim's lack of progress ... With a fair amount of fun along the way.' - BonoAs one of the music world's most iconic artists and the cofounder of organizations ONE and (RED), Bono's career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, it's Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2's unlikely journey to become one of the world's most influential rock bands, to his more than 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Writing with candour, self-reflection, and humour, Bono opens the aperture on his life - and the family, friends and faith that have sustained, challenged and shaped him.Surrender's subtitle, "40 Songs, One Story," is a nod to the book's 40 chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created 40 original drawings for Surrender which will appear throughout the book.

Bono - artiste, activiste et chanteur du groupe de rock irlandais U2 - publie ses Mémoires. Surrender est un texte sincère et irrévérencieux, intime et profond - l'histoire de sa vie hors du commun,

Un libro di un artista combattivo, che scopre di essere al suo meglio quando impara ad arrendersi. Episodico e irriverente, introspettivo e illuminante, "Surrender" e la storia della vita di Bono, strutturata - senza troppo rigore - intorno a quaranta canzoni degli U2. Bono e nato nel Northside di Dublino da padre cattolico e madre protestante in un periodo di crescente violenza settaria in Irlanda. La perdita della madre a quattordici anni ha aperto in lui un vuoto che lo avrebbe portato a cercarsi una famiglia. Da piccolo si sentiva mediocre, ma la sua vita avrebbe dimostrato che nessuno e davvero mediocre. Ha una creativita caotica ma onnipresente... in studio di registrazione, sul palco, durante una manifestazione, nei corridoi del Congresso degli Stati Uniti o nell'angolo di un bar. Scopriamo le sue difficolta a gestire la rabbia, un sentimento che traspare dalle sue canzoni sull'amore e sulla nonviolenza, e lo sentiamo ammettere di avere un ego "ben piu grande della mia autostima". In quarant'anni di carriera gli U2 si trasformano da ambiziosi teenager al piu grande gruppo del mondo, e Bono da attivista part-time a forza motrice a tempo pieno della lotta per cancellare il debito dei paesi poveri e convincere i governi, in particolare quello degli Stati Uniti, ad affrontare l'emergenza globale dell'AIDS. Assistiamo con lui alla nascita del PEPFAR, il President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, all'epoca il piu grande intervento contro una singola malattia nella storia della medicina. Bono definisce "fattivisti" i membri di ONE, la ONG di cui e stato cofondatore, e descrive l'organizzazione gemella (RED) come "droga di passaggio" per l'attivismo. I fan degli U2 scopriranno l'opinione di Bono sulla longevita della band a fronte di decenni di difficolta personali e profonde divergenze creative, e troveranno le chiavi per interpretare le canzoni piu famose e importanti del gruppo. Si aprono le porte sulla vita interiore di Bono. Un tema ricorrente e lo spreco del potenziale umano, un altro e la fede, definita come capacita di percepire il segnale nel rumore, una "piccola voce quieta" che l'artista sente soprattutto nel suo matrimonio, nella sua musica e nella lotta contro la poverta estrema. Ma piu di ogni altra cosa "Surrender" e una storia d'amore dedicata alla moglie Ali, che Bono invito a uscire per la prima volta la stessa settimana in cui gli U2 avevano suonato insieme per la prima volta. Alison Stewart e la regista delle scene fondamentali di quest'opera, compreso il terzo atto in cui la coppia sta entrando oggi, alle prese con tante domande e poche risposte su quando vale la pena di combattere e quando e il caso di arrendersi.

Las memorias de Bono, el vocalista principal de U2 ***EDICIÓN EN ESPAÑOL*** Se trata de uno los artistas más icónicos de la música en todo el mundo y se han escrito miles y miles de páginas sobre su carrera; sin embargo, en Surrender, es ahora Bono quien se sienta ante la hoja en blanco para contarnos, por primera vez y en primera persona, los detalles de su formidable vida y las personas con las que la ha compartido. Su indistinguible voz nos conduce en un recorrido que va desde su infancia en Dublin, pasando por la repentina muerte de su madre cuando tenia 14 años y el insolito camino que hubo de recorrer U2 para convertirse en uno de los grupos de rock mas influyentes del planeta, hasta llegar a un examen de las mas de dos decadas que ha dedicado al activismo, luchando contra el SIDA y la pobreza extrema. La escritura de Bono, con la que ha realizado un ejercicio de autorreflexion honesta, no exenta de un saludable sentido del humor, logra abrir mas el foco sobre su vida, asi como sobre su familia, sus amigos y sus creencias, los cuales le han servido de apoyo, acicate y ejemplo durante todos estos años.Criticas:Querido B: ¿por que no te rindes ante la evidencia de que eres un GENIO?Penelope Cruz Surrender revela al ser humano detras de la estrella de rock [...] y profundiza en la conviccion (y dice, puede que Dostoievski tenga algo que ver) de que los seres humanos influyen poco o nada en los dos momentos mas importantes de la existencia: nacer y morir.Armando Navarro, Revista Kinema Books La autobiografia sorprendentemente intima de Bono es una mirada a sus mayores amores y desamores. [...] Aunque la grandiosidad de U2 pueda convertirse a veces en autoparodia, la emocion que impulsa al grupo se narra vividamente en Surrender.Cultture Prosa excentrica la de Bono, como su corazon (literalmente defectuoso desde el nacimiento), aunque lo suficientemente atractiva como para satisfacer al mas inquieto de sus fans. [...] Libro atractivo en todos los sentidos.Enrique Turpin, Zenda Con su inseparable mujer, Alison Stewart, como hilo conductor, Bono apuesta por una estructura nada convencional e hilvana (respetando una basica pulsion cronologica) canciones con experiencias.Javier Lopez Rejas, El CulturalLa oportunidad del rock como profecia que se cuenta en Surrender con la pomposidad intacta de entonces, pero en boca de un hombre de 60 años: la representacion misma de la deriva.Del rock y la religion a la politica, que comienza a tocar a los musicos piadosos.Mario de las Heras, El Debate Un Bono en modo humilde, orgulloso de sus logros, pero dispuesto a encajar sus pasos en falso.Jordi Biancotto, La Vanguardia La escritura de Bono, con la que ha realizado un ejercicio de autorreflexion honesta (no exenta de un saludable sentido del humor), logra abrir mas el foco sobre su vida, asi como sobre su familia, sus amigos y sus creencias, los cuales le han servido de apoyo, acicate y ejemplo durante todos estos años.Zenda
