The New York Times bestseller and the definitive portrait of Kurt
Cobain--as relevant as ever, as we remember the impact of Cobain on
our culture twenty-five years after his death--now with a new
preface and an additional final chapter from acclaimed author
Charles R. Cross.It has been twenty-five years since Kurt Cobain
died by his own hand in April 1994, it was an act of will that
typified his short, angry, inspired life. Veteran music journalist
Charles R. Cross fuses his intimate knowledge of the Seattle music
scene with his deep compassion for his subject in this
extraordinary story of artistic brilliance and the pain that
extinguished it. Based on more than four hundred interviews, four
years of research, exclusive access to Cobain's unpublished
diaries, lyrics, and family photos, and a wealth of documentation,
Heavier Than Heaven traces Cobain's life from his early days in a
double-wide trailer outside of Aberdeen, Washington, to his rise to
fame, success, and the adulation of a generation. Charles Cross has
written a new preface for this edition, giving readers context for
the time in which the book was written, six years after Kurt's
death, and reminding everyone how fresh that cultural experience
was when the interviews for the book were done. The new final
chapter will update the story since, regarding investigations into
Cobain's death, Nirvana's induction into the Rock N Roll Hall of
Fame, and how their place in rock history has only risen over the
decades.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
