"A fascinating, authoritative biography of one of the most commercial, controversial, and influential musicians of all time "In his three decades-long of recording, Prince has had nearly thirty albums hit the Billboard Top 100.

Ro chronicles the music, showing how Prince and his albums helped define and inspire a generation. Along the way, Prince confronted labels, fostered other young talents, and took ownership of his music, making a profound mark on the entertainment industry and pop culture. In this authoritative biography, Ro digs deep to reveal the man behind some of the most important music of our time.

Apenas iniciados los años treinta del pasado siglo, un jovencísimo Woody Guthrie abandonó la devastada Oklahoma de su infancia para emprender un viaje que sólo detendría la muerte tres décadas más tarde. Rodando a pie o a dedo por los polvorientos caminos de la Gran Depresion, persiguiendo la quimera del Oeste en vagones de carga compartidos con vagabundos, pordioseros y emigrantes, conviviendo con los parias de la tierra en tabernas, fondas, fabricas o campos de cultivo, Guthrie quiso vivir entre las voces de esa America que algunos llaman profunda para tejer con ellas un prodigioso legado de canciones cuyos ecos no han dejado de sonar en la musica popular contemporanea. De ese centon sale uno de los hilos que ha enhebrado, entre otros, Bob Dylan. Pero Guthrie nos lego tambien un relato en prosa de su peregrinacion inacabada, una singular autobiografia que consigue recrear las multiples texturas de un hombre, de una epoca y de una vision que no podemos dejar en las garras del olvido. Cuando reseño la obra para el New York Times, Clifton Fadiman rindio a su autor este homenaje: algun dia la gente advertira que Woody Guthrie y las diez mil canciones que desprenden las cuerdas de su guitarra pertenecen al patrimonio nacional tanto como Yellowstone o Yosemite, que forman parte de lo mejor que este pais puede ofrecer al mundo.

An Economist Best Book of 2007, Jonathan Carr''s The Wagner Clan was roundly acclaimed upon its publication in hardcover. Hailed as "fiendishly enjoyable" by Salon.com and "masterly" and "enthralling" by The Daily Telegraph, it proves that the history of Europe and that of the Wagners are inextricably intertwined. Carr presents not only Richard Wagner himself--composer, philosopher, philanderer, failed revolutionary, and virulent anti-Semite--but also a colorful cast of historical figures who feature in Wagner''s story: Franz Liszt (whose illegitimate daughter Cosima married Wagner); the "mad King" Ludwig II, who saved Wagner from penury by becoming his sponsor; Friedrich Nietzsche; Arthur Schopenhauer; Richard Strauss; Gustav Mahler; Arturo Toscanini; Joseph Goebbels; Hermann Goring; and the "Wolf" himself, Adolf Hitler, a passionate fan of the Master''s music and an adopted uncle to Wagner''s grandchildren. Wagner''s British-born daughter-in-law, Winifred, was a close friend of Hitler''s and seemed momentarily positioned to marry him after the death of her husband. All through the war the Bayreuth Festival, begun by the Master himself, was supported by Hitler, who had to fill the audience with fighting men and SS officers. After the war''s devastation, the festival was dark for a decade until Wagner''s offspring--with characteristic ambition and cunning--revived it. With the sweeping scope of a Wagnerian opera, The Wagner Clan is a riveting chronicle of the ascent, decline, and rehabilitation of the German nation and its most infamous family.
