Jim Morrison Books

"A selection of the writings of Jim Morrison, as chosen by Jim, before his death in 1970. Foreword by Tom Robbins"--

" 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.

Compiled from the literary estate of the singer who brought a wildly lyrical poetry of the damned to the world of rock 'n' roll. Includes unpublished poems, drawings, photos, and a candid self-interview.

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 The American Night presents Morrison's previously unpublished work in its truest form.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 published as two separate volumes in 1969, Jim Morrison’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. Intense, erotic, and enigmatic, Jim Morrison’s persona is as riveting now as the lead singer/composer “Lizard King” was during The Doors’ peak in the late sixties. His fast life and mysterious death remain controversial even to this day. The Lords and the New Creatures, Morrison’s first published volume of poetry, is an uninhibited exploration of society’s dark side—drugs, sex, fame, and death—captured in sensual, seething images. Here, Morrison gives a revealing glimpse at an era and at the man whose songs and savage performances have left their indelible impression on our culture.

Though subsequent volumes of Morrison's poetry have been published posthumously, 'The Lords and the New Creatures' are the only works Morrison authorised and are an important appendix to the breathtaking music he left behind

Forse può essere definita una favola gotica: la storia dell'ascesa e della caduta del "Re Lucertola" e della sua "Regina delle Fate". Forse la burrascosa vicenda della relazione tra Jim Morrison, l'icona più celebre del rock trasgressivo, e Pamela Courson, la ragazza che, tra addii e riconciliazioni, gli sarà accanto fino all'ultimo giorno - e anche oltre - è il tassello che ancora mancava: non solo per comprendere appieno la leggenda dei Doors, ma per cogliere lo spirito di un'epoca ribelle e psichedelica, feconda e bruciante.

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.

"Se la mia poesia ha uno scopo, è quello di liberare chi legge dai limiti del suo vedere e sentire". Per tutto il tempo della sua breve vita, da giovane poeta/istrione e da rock star con i Doors, Jim Morrison è rimasto fedele a questo folgorante motto. Ne sono estrema conferma queste pagine inedite, rimaste celate per quasi vent'anni in una cassa e infine recuperate e ordinate dallo storico morrisoniano Frank Lisciandro. E' il definitivo quadro che mancava del King Lizard, il suo testamento spirituale; parole che a tanti anni di distanza risuonano ancora e danno le vertigini, ideale seguito di The End , di When The Music's Over , nell'incerto mondo "oltre le porte della percezione".

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

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"
