Bono is one of the most influential musicians at work today. Over the past twenty-five years his band, U2, have sold a staggering 130 million albums and collected 14 Grammys. Their success has made Bono one of the most recognisable faces in the world. Here, in a series of conversations with his friend, the music journalist, Michka Assayas, Bono reflects on his transformation from extrovert singer of a small, Irish, post-punk band into an international rock star. Along the way he speaks candidly about his childhood, about his mother`s death, about his Christian faith and about his difficult relationship with his father, who died recently. Bono also speaks passionately about how he has used his fame as a platform to campaign fervently on a range of global issues, and why these issues - which include the IRA ceasefire, Third World debt and, most recently, the growing AIDS crisis in Africa - are so important to each of us.

Nació el 26 de julio de 1943 en Dartford, Inglaterra. En sus arcas tiene más de treinta millones de copias vendidas de sus discos, sus seguidores no contemplan edad, sexo, raza o nacionalidad, y allí por donde toca el lleno esta asegurado. Su filosofia de vida es clara y directa: "hacer lo que a uno le da la gana es la verdadera democracia". Es una de las figuras mas importantes de la rebelion juvenil de los años sesenta alrededor de la cultura pop. Como cantante lider de los Rolling Stones, Jagger ha sido el simbolo de toda una actitud generacional, con su figura provocadora, agresiva y de una intensa personalidad sobre la escena. Superando ya los sesenta años, el autor de Satisfaction, Angie, It's only rock and roll o Start me up, se convierte en uno de los protagonistas imprescindibles de la fiesta sin fin de finales del siglo XX y de comienzos del nuevo milenio

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER Bonoartist, activist, and the lead singer of Irish rock band U2has written a memoir: honest and irreverent, intimate and profound, Surrender is the story of the remarkable life hes lived, the challenges hes faced, and the friends and family who have shaped and sustained him. A VOGUE BEST BOOK OF THE YEARSurrender soars whenever the spotlight comes on. Bono is never more powerful, on the page or the stage, than when he strives for the transcendence that only music can offer...[Bono] is open and honest, with language that can be witty and distinctive, addressing his competitive relationship with his father or growing up against the backdrop of Irelands political violence. The New York Times When I started to write this book, I was hoping to draw in detail what Id 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 pilgrims lack of progress ... With a fair amount of fun along the way. Bono As one of the music worlds most iconic artists and the cofounder of the organizations ONE and (RED), Bonos career has been written about extensively. But in Surrender, its 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 fourteen, to U2s unlikely journey to become one of the worlds most influential rock bands, to his more than twenty years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty. Writing with candor, self-reflection, and humor, Bono opens the aperture on his lifeand the family, friends, and faith that have sustained, challenged, and shaped him. Surrenders subtitle, 40 Songs, One Story, is a nod to the books forty chapters, which are each named after a U2 song. Bono has also created forty original drawings for Surrender, which appear throughout the book.

Raimundo Sarriegik donostiarren artean ospe handia badu ere -mundu guztiak daki danborradari eta festa giroko beste hainbat ekitaldiri (kaldereroak, inudeak, inauteriak.) hark egindako ekarpen musikalaren berri-, aldi berean, jendearentzat guztiz ezezagunak dira donostiar gogoangarri honen bizitza eta nortasuna. Hutsune hori erremediatzeko asmotan, Raimundo Sarriegiren biografiako funtsezko datuak ezagutzera emateko erabakia hartu zuen Jose Luis Ansorenak, datu horietako asko, batez ere, hainbat kazetaritza lanetan sakabanaturik baitzeuden. Sarriegiren musika guztiak ez dira danborradak, hala ere. Bestelako lan ederrak baditu eta liburu honen irakurleak izenez behinik behin ezagutu ahal izango ditu. Sarriegirengana hurbiltzeko bidea emango ahal du liburutxo honek.
