Depuis les années soixante, la plus belle pour aller danser porte un prénom : Sylvie. Sylvie, figure de proue myhtiqie du bon vieux temps de feu les Carpentier. Sylvie, présentée en Amérique comme " le plus beau cadeau de la France depuis la statue de la Liberté ". Sylvie, déifiée au Japon, ce pays " porte-bonheur " où elle rencontra son second mari, un jour de 1981. Sylvie, star internationale aux millions de disques vendus, aux milliers de couvertures de magazines, submergée de prix et de récompenses dont une seule pourtant fit sa fierté et aurait fait pleurer son père une étoile et un petit morceau de ruban rouge piqués sur le revers de son tailleur noir, en 1998, dans un salon de l'Elysée. Sylvie, un prénom rond comme le visage des icônes de Bulgarie, son pays d'origine, un hymne scandé sur tous les airs depuis des générations par les admirateurs de " La Blonde ", comme la surnomment affectueusement ses fans. Mais connaît-on vraiment Sylvie Vartan, l'idole des jeunes au féminin ? Que sait-on réellement de son mariage avec Johnny, de leurs ruptures fracassantes et de leurs retrouvailles savamment orchestrées ? Comment a-t-elle traversé toutes les modes, troquant sa panoplie yé-yé pour des extravagances de paillettes ? Pourquoi la reine du music-hall n'a-t-elle jamais triomphé au cinéma ? Après des mois d'enquête, ponctués de rencontres et d'interviews inédites, Emmanuel Bonini dresse, pour la première fois, le portait de feu et de glace d'un mythe qui, depuis plus de quarante ans, fait résonner un refrain bulgare dans le c?ur des Français.

Aqui estan tus (nuestras) historias, y la confirmacion de que ser Swiftie significa nunca estar solo.

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.

Barnett, DavidWhen they appeared on the British rock scene in the early 1990sa bastard fusion of the Smiths and Ziggy Stardustsome called them The Best New Band in Britain. At the time, the groupbased around flamboyant vocalist Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Butlerhadnt released one note of music. What followed was an eponymous album that was to become the fastestselling debut in British musical history, as well as a decade of narcotic excess, redemption, and fantastic pop music. Now fully updated to include the inside story of the bands decision to split and Bretts new solo ventures, Suede: Love and Poison traces the scarcely credible story of a band that went to hell and back.

Hailed by Publishers Weekly as "not only the best writing on the ever-changing folk singer, but also some of the best writing about any musician around," Studio A presents Bob Dylan''s unique literary legacy in a collection that is quintessentially Dylan: mosaic, offbeat, poetic. This "astutely chosen and intelligently annotated" collection (Time Out London) gathers over fifty articles, poems, essays, speeches, literary criticisms, and interviews; many previously unpublished. Individually, these pieces offer insight into the man and his time, but collectively they reveal the coming-of-age of American cultural criticism in their "sweeping view of both Dylan and the changing times he so eloquently captured in his music" (Publishers Weekly). With Sam Shepard, Bruce Springsteen, Allen Ginsberg, Johnny Cash, Greil Marcus, Joyce Carol Oates, Gary Giddins, Rick Moody, Tom Piazza, Barry Hannah, and Dylan himself on the list of contributors, Studio A is truly "a vital document" (New York Times) for all fans.
