Lipstick Traces
ISBN: 9783955751562 / Niemiecki / Book / 2022 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Greil Marcus begann seine Arbeit an »Lipstick Traces« aus Begeisterung für die Sex Pistols: jener Skandal-Band, die 1975 als radikales Statement erfunden wurde. »Ich bin ein Antichrist!«, schrie Johnny Rotten - wie kam eine solche Selbstbezichtigung in die Welt des Pops? Auf der Suche nach Antworten führt Marcus auf die dunklen Pfade der Gegengeschichte, eine Route voller Gotteslästerungen, Abenteuer und Überraschungen. Und obwohl die Sex Pistols hier den Anfang und das Ende markieren, ist »Lipstick Traces« kein Buch über Punk. Es geht vielmehr um ein Aufbegehren, das sich in den...

The History of Rock 'n' Roll in Ten Songs
ISBN: 9780300216929 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. One of our finest critics gives us an altogether original history of rock 'n' roll
Unlike all previous versions of rock 'n' roll history, this book omits almost every iconic performer and ignores the storied events and turning points that everyone knows. Instead, in a daring stroke, Greil Marcus selects ten songs recorded between 1956 and 2008, then proceeds to dramatize how each embodies rock 'n' roll as a thing in itself, in the story it tells, inhabits, and acts out--a new language, something new under the sun. "Transmission" by Joy Division. "All I Could Do... One of our finest critics gives us an altogether original history of rock 'n' roll

He didn't know the name of the scruffy singer who had a bit part in a Joan Baez concert, but he knew his performance was unique. So began a dedicated and enduring relationship between America's finest critic of popular music "simply peerless," in Nick Hornby's words, "not only as a rock writer but as a cultural historian" and Bob Dylan, who in 2016 won the Nobel Prize for Literature. In Like A Rolling Stone Marcus locates Dylan's six-minute masterwork in its richest, fullest context, capturing the heady...
