4/5.' - CLASSIC POP1979. Months of industrial action throughout the
winter have left the dead unburied and mountains of rubbish piling
up in the streets.Punk has reached its bleak climax with the fatal
heroin overdose of Sid Vicious while awaiting trial for the murder
of his girlfriend. Unlikely alliances of outsiders prepare to seize
power, set the political agenda and write the soundtrack for the
years to come. Their figureheads are two very different kinds of
dominatrices...As Margaret Thatcher enters 10 Downing Street, a
handful of bands born of punk - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy
Division and the Cure - find a way to distil the dissonance and
darkness of the shifting decade into a new form of music. Pushing
at the taboos the Sex Pistols had unlocked and dancing with the
fetishistic, all will become global stars of goth. By the time
Thatcher is cast out of office in 1990, the arrival of goth will
have imprinted on the cultural landscape as much as the Iron Lady
herself.Forty years on, author Cathi Unsworth provides the first
comprehensive overview of the music, context and lasting legacy of
goth. This is the story of how goth was shaped by the politics of
the era - from the miners' strikes and privatisation to the
Troubles and AIDS ÂÂ- as well as how its rock 'n' roll outlaw
imagery and music cross-pollinated throughout Britain and
internationally, speaking to a generation of alienated youths. A
fascinating social history, Season of the Witch tells the tale of
an enduring counter-culture, one that steadfastly refuses to give
up the ghost.

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.
