Leonard Cohen's work showcases his unparalleled talent as a lyricist, revealing a collection of previously unpublished novels and stories.

This compilation offers readers a deeper understanding of Cohen's artistic vision, blending his signature lyrical style with narrative storytelling, making it a significant addition to his literary legacy.

An unprecedented glimpse into the formation of the legendary talent of Leonard Cohen.Before the celebrated late-career world tours, before the Grammy awards, before the chart-topping albums, before 'Hallelujah' and 'So Long, Marianne' and 'Famous Blue Raincoat', the young Leonard Cohen wrote poetry and fiction and yearned for literary stardom. In A Ballet of Lepers, readers will discover that the magic that animated Cohen's unforgettable body of work was present from the very beginning. Written between 1956 in Montreal, just as Cohen was publishing his first poetry collection, and 1961, when he'd settled on Greece's Hydra island, the pieces in this collection offer startling insight into Cohen's imagination and creative process, and explore themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire to longing, whether for love, family, freedom or transcendence. The titular novel, A Ballet of Lepers - one he later remarked was 'probably a better novel' than his celebrated book The Favourite Game - is a haunting examination of these elements, while the fifteen stories, as well as the playscript, probe the inner demons of his characters, many of whom could function as stand-ins for the author himself. Meditative, surprising, playful and provocative, A Ballet of Lepers is vivid in its detail, unsparing in its gaze, and reveals the great artist and visceral genius like never before.

Montreal, wo er 1934 geboren wurde, sei der einzige Ort, an dem er sich je zu Hause gefühlt habe. Leonard Cohens Eltern sind gläubige Juden, und er selbst wird zeit seines Lebens ein spirituell Suchender sein. Und dann sind da noch die Frauen: Gitarre lernt er angeblich nur deshalb spielen, weil er ein Mädchen für sich gewinnen will. Zunächst aber zieht es ihn nicht zur Musik, sondern zur Literatur. Schon mit dreizehn lernt er die Gedichte García Lorcas auswendig. Und Cohen schreibt selbst: Gedichte und Romane. Kaum jemand kann sich da vorstellen, dass er als Sänger reüssieren wird - mit dieser Stimme. Trotzdem versucht sich Cohen bald als Musiker, zunächst aus finanziellen Gründen. Auf dem Newport Folk Festival 1976, wo er Joni Mitchell zum ersten Mal begegnet, erlebt er seinen Durchbruch. In diesen Gesprächen erzählt Cohen eindringlich und mit Nonchalance von hellen und dunklen Zeiten, Begegnungen mit Jimi Hendrix und Janis Joplin im New Yorker Greenwich Village der späten sechziger Jahre, seinem Absturz in den siebziger Jahren, Depressionen, vielen Liebschaften, den Jahren im Zen-Kloster und natürlich von seinen großen Songs.

Leonard Cohens Vermächtnis. »Die Flamme« ist Leonard Cohens sprachmächtiger Abgesang, eine Abschiedsrede, bestehend aus Songtexten, Gedichten, Notizbucheinträgen und Illustrationen. 2016 starb im Alter von 82 Jahren der große Sänger und Dichter Leonard Cohen – und »die Welt wurde dunkler«, wie es in einem der unzähligen Nachrufe hieß. Mit Songs wie »Hallelujah« oder »Suzanne« wurde er in den späten 1960ern weltberühmt. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren wuchs seine Popularität noch einmal. Bis kurz vor seinem Tod arbeitete er an diesem Buch, seinem literarischen Vermächtnis. Wenige Wochen vor seinem Tod, gab Leonard Cohen dem New Yorker ein Interview, in dem er sagte, er sei bereit zu sterben. Er brauche nur unbedingt noch genug Zeit, um sein allerletztes Buch fertigzustellen. Glücklicherweise wurde er erhört. Entstanden ist eine Kartographie seines einzigartigen Lebensweges. Neben noch unbekannten Gedichten und Zeichnungen finden sich in diesem Buch zum ersten Mal ausgewählte Notizbucheinträge Cohens, die dem Leser das Innenleben dieses Ausnahmekünstlers erstaunlich nahe bringen.

The final work from Leonard Cohen, Canada's most celebrated poet and an artist whose audience spans generations and whose work is known and loved throughout the world. The Flame is a stunning collection of Leonard Cohen's last poems, selected and ordered by the author in the final months of his life. Featuring lyrics, prose pieces, and illustrations, the book also contains an extensive selection from Cohen's notebooks, which he kept in poetic form throughout his life, and offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist and thinker. An enormously powerful final chapter in Cohen's storied literary career, The Flame showcases the full range of Leonard Cohen's lyricism, from the exquisitely transcendent to the darkly funny. By turns devastatingly sad and winningly strange, these are the works of a poet and lyricist who set out to explore our darkest questions and came back wanting, yearning for more.
