Jim Morrison

    8 december 1943 – 3 juli 1971

    James Morrison was een Amerikaanse zanger, dichter en tekstschrijver, algemeen erkend als de charismatische frontman van de rockband The Doors. Zijn invloed reikte verder dan muziek en omvatte poëzie en filmmaken. Morrison's nalatenschap ligt in zijn unieke samensmelting van rockmuziek met diepgaande poëzie en beeldende kunst, waardoor hij een invloedrijke figuur in de geschiedenis van de populaire muziek werd. Zijn werk blijft kunstenaars en lezers inspireren met zijn duistere en introspectieve thema's.

    • Básně a texty z literární pozůstalosti Jima Morrisona. Dvojjazyčné vydání. Člověk ani nemusí patřit mezi fanoušky kapely The Doors, aby tuto sbírku básní náležitě ocenil. Jim Morrison byl básník tělem i duší a dokázal do své tvorby mistrně odrazit svou inteligentní šílenost. Jeho básně jsou často silně existenciální, zmatené, krásně choré. Navíc je kniha rozdělena do dvou částí, z níž je jedna psaná anglicky a druhá obsahuje překlad, takže je možnost překlad (který je zde velmi dobrý, protože jde o volné verše) srovnat s originálem a plně se ponořit do velmi zajímavé poezie. "Muži, co před hříchem z bahna měst prchli na širé moře. sledují navečer z paluby placentu hvězd a pak plují dál přes rovník & svými rituály křísí k životu nebezpečná zasvěcení Značí nové horizonty Chtějí cítit blízkost exorcismu, rituál plavby Čekat, hledat v pušce osvícenost mužnosti Zabít v jedné chvíli dětství i nevinnost"

      " Jim Morrison, avec les Doors, incarnait l'ange noir, le rebelle que les adultes jugeraient sans cause, le scandaleux qui, dans son cuir luisant, faisait des choses que la morale réprouve avec ferveur.[...] Dans ces poèmes, textes de chansons, écrits publiés en revue, Morrison dit le blues : hachés, syncopés, mystérieux, ses mots peu à peu scandent la grande colère et la grande détresse de l'homme qui hait les modèles qu'on lui offre, et qui ne parvient pas à se sortir su désordre de la dérision. " Evelyne Pieiller, Révolution.

      The writings of Jim Morrison Vol. II

      The celebrated lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison is a legend of rock and roll. The American Night presents Morrison's previously unpublished work in its truest form. With their nightmarish images, bold associative leaps, and volcanic power of emotion, these works are the unmistakable artifacts of a great, wild voice and heart.

      Ce volume complète Seigneurs et Nouvelles créatures en ce sens que sont maintenant disponibles la quasi-totalité des écrits de Jim Morrison. La première partie de ce volume regroupe, classés disque par disque, les textes des chansons écrites par Morrison pour Les Doors. Une prière américaine n'avait été publiée aux Etats-Unis qu'en plaquette tirée à 200 exemplaires uniquement réservés aux amis de Morrison. Ode à L.A. en songeant à feu Brian Jones est un écrit plus rare encore puisqu'il n'avait circulé que sous la forme d'une feuille imprimée, distribuée au public lors de concerts des Doors en 1969. Enfin, le texte qui termine ce recueil fut publié en 1968 dans la revue américaine Eye.

      Originally self-published as two separate volumes in 1969 ( The Lords/Notes on Vision, which Morrison described as "a thesis on film aesthetics," and The New Creatures , a surreal portrait of modern existence), the late singer's first published volume of poetry gives a revealing glimpse of an era and the man whose songs and savage performances have left an indelible impression on our culture. This collection, born out of the tumultuous social and political landscape of the late sixties, is as intense, sensual, and compelling as Jim Morrison's persona was during the Doors' peak. His fast life and mysterious death remain controversial more than forty years later.

      Jim Morrison è uno dei rari personaggi-mito di cui più se ne spulcia la vita epiù ne risplende la leggenda. Il Re Lucertola è stato e rimane trasgressivo,lirico, bello, perennemente giovane, e straordinariamente tutte queste coseinsieme. Poetate queste coseinsieme. Poeta maledetto, evangelista acido, ha invitato il suo pubblico apassare attraverso le porte della percezione a liberarsi dalla prigione delconformismo sociale e familiare e a cercare una coscienza nuova, più alta econsapevole. Questa biografia è un'occasione per vivere un lungo e intensorapporto ravvicinato con l'angelo ribelle del rock e per compiere un viaggioemozionante negli ambienti più borderline di quegli anni.

    • Nell'estate del 1971, al momento della sua tragica e misteriosa morte, il leader dei Doors aveva scritto più di settecento pagine di poesie, aneddoti, epigrammi, saggi, racconti, soggetti e sceneggiature. Raccolte e riordinate dagli amici, quelle pagine sono confluite in questo volume, che ripropone, con l'originale a fronte, liriche e appunti
