I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp
￥95.39
The sharp, lyrical, and no-holds-barred autobiography of the iconoclastic writer and musician Richard Hell, charting the childhood, coming of age, and misadventures of an artist in an indelible era of rock and roll... From an early age, Richard Hell dreamed of running away. His father died when he was seven, and at seventeen he left his mother and sister behind and headed for New York City, place of limitless possibilities. He arrived penniless with the idea of becoming a poet; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk, starting such seminal bands as Television, the Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids whose song Blank Generation remains the defining anthem of the era. Hell was significantly responsible for creating CBGB as punk ground zero; his Voidoids toured notoriously with the Clash, and Malcolm McLaren would credit Hell as inspiration for the Sex Pistols. There were kinetic nights in New York club demi-monde, descent into drug addiction, and an ever-present yearning for redemption through poetry, music, and art. We lived in the suburbs in America in the fifties, Hell writes. My roots are shallow. I'm a little jealous of people with strong ethnic and cultural roots. Lucky Martin Scorsese or Art Spiegelman or Dave Chappelle. I came from Hopalong Cassidy and Bugs Bunny and first grade at ordinary Maxwell Elementary. How this legendary downtown artist went from a prosaic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York and London restless youth cultures and spawn the careers of not only Hell himself, but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debbie Harry is just part of the fascinating story Hell tells. With stunning powers of observation, he delves into the details of both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped. An acutely rendered, unforgettable coming-of-age story, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling, clarity, and piercing intelligence that classic journey: the life of one who comes from the hinterlands into the city in search of art and passion.

NOW A BLOCKBUSTER MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY CLINT EASTWOOD NOMINATED FOR SIX ACADEMY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST PICTURE A celebration of the remarkable life and legacy of fallen American hero Chris Kyle This commemorative memorial edition of Kyle bestselling memoir features the full text of American Sniper , plus more than eighty pages of remembrances by those whose lives he touched personally including his wife, Taya; his parents, brother, and children; Marcus Luttrell and other fellow Navy SEALs; veterans and wounded warriors; lifelong friends; and many others. He was the top American sniper of all time, called the legend by his Navy SEAL brothers, and a hero by those he served on the home front . . . From 1999 to 2009, U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle recorded the most career sniper kills in United States military history. Kyle earned legendary status among his fellow SEALs, Marines, and U.S. Army soldiers, whom he protected with deadly accuracy from rooftops and stealth positions. Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the greatest war memoirs of all time. A native Texan who learned to shoot on childhood hunting trips with his father, Kyle was a champion saddle-bronc rider prior to joining the Navy. After 9/11, he was thrust onto the front lines of the War on Terror, and soon found his calling as a world-class sniper who performed best under fire. He recorded a personal-record 2,100-yard kill shot outside Baghdad; in Fallujah, Kyle braved heavy fire to rescue a group of Marines trapped on a street; in Ramadi, he stared down insurgents with his pistol in close combat. Kyle talks honestly about the pain of war of twice being shot, and experiencing the tragic deaths of two close friends. American Sniper also honors Kyle fellow warriors, who raised hell on and off the battlefield. And in moving first-person accounts throughout, Kyle wife, Taya, speaks openly about the strains of war on their marriage and children, as well as on Chris. Adrenaline-charged and deeply personal, American Sniper is a thrilling eyewitness account of service and sacrifice that only one man could tell.

She quit her job as a journalist and spent time with her family. She built an outdoor meeting space for friends in her backyard. And she took seven trips with the seven most important people in her life. As her health declined, Susan journeyed to the Yukon, Hungary, the Bahamas, and Cyprus.

She also wrote this book. No longer able to walk or even to lift her arms, she tapped it out letter by letter on her iPhone using only her right thumb, the last finger still working.

El?sz?r futni tanítanak meg. Ez mindennek az alapja minden hadseregben szerte a világon. Megtanulsz futni, megtanulod bírni. Hegynek fel-le. Futsz erd?ben, tó- és folyóparton, futsz sportpályán. Együtt a szakasszal, és amikor valaki nem bírja és lemarad, nyomod a fekv?támaszt. Majd ha megérkezett, újra futsz.Ha már tudsz futni, van mire építeni a t?bbit. Megtanítanak, hogy bánj a fegyverrel, hogyan élesítsd a gránátot, vezess harcjárm?vet és telepíts m?szaki akadályt. De arra nem tanítanak meg, hogy amikor évekkel kés?bb a háború után, emlékeidt?l verejtékben úszva egyedül ébredsz jéghideg ágyadban, azt hogyan dolgozd fel. Amikor olyan s?tét az éj hajnali háromkor, hogy még az utcáról besz?r?d? lámpa fénye se hoz világosságot, amikor már rég kialudt az a mécses, amit a halott bajtársaid emlékére gyújtasz minden este. Akkor hiába tanítottak meg futni. Amikor arra ébredsz, hogy skorpiók vannak az ágyadban, és hallod az ellenség suttogását, mintha csak méterekre lennének t?led a l?vészárokban. Amikor minden olyan csendes, hogy már mar ez a hangtalanság. Akkor már nincs hova futnod. ?vek után rád?bbensz, hogy meg kell állnod és szembenézned a múltaddal. Mindennel, amit tettél, vagy nem tettél. ?n, mintha gyóntam volna, megírtam ezt a k?nyvet. Elszámoltam magammal, mert megtanultam egy fontos dolgot: a lelkedért csak te felelsz! Ezt senkinek se tanították meg. Erre nekünk kellett ráj?nnünk.

Márta, a fiatal grafikuslány váratlan küldeményt kap Németországból, és ezzel az élete egy szempillantás alatt a feje tetejére áll. A levél visszarepíti ?t a múltba, tíz évvel korábbra, amikor fest?n?vendékként Drezdába érkezve egyszerre szeretett bele a városba, a királyi kincstár barokk gy?ngyfiguráiba, és az egyik n?s tanárába. A férfi azóta elt?nt az életéb?l, most azonban arra kéri, fordítson le neki egy 18. századi, magyar nyelven született útinaplót. A napló lapjain kibontakozó t?rténet nemcsak a gy?ngyfigurák alkotójának kilétére derít fényt, hanem arra is, kit ábrázol a titokzatos festmény, amelyet Márta tíz évvel korábban Drezdából hozott magával. Egy kül?nleges lány alakja ?lt testet a szemünk láttára a napló lapjain, aki szembemegy minden szabállyal és k?t?ttséggel, aki a saját útját járja, ezáltal nemcsak ?nmagát, hanem az általa szeretett férfit is veszélybe sodorva. Mire a kézirat végére ér, Mártának még egy kérdésre választ kell találnia: létezik-e második esély a szerelemben?

Scrierile mele, romanele, poemele, eseurile se afl, volens nolens, sub auspiciile dionisiace ale acestui scriitor spre care m harponeaz, instinctiv, de bun seam, i voina de a deveni ceea ce sunt: poet. Un poet care propaga un soi de stranie religie a viului, n esen de neexprimat, o religie-mit de sorginte nietzschean, construit pe un exces de personalitate.(...) Boala, cu un pic de noroc, poate fi pintenul dat de un nesfrit zeu rutcios i perspicace n bolgiile luminoase ale destinului. ntlnirea mea cu acest spectacol de un dramatism randiose – care este Nietzsche – din ntmplare cred c s-a transformat n destin.

La un prim nivel, volumul poate fi lecturat ca un impresionant catalog al marilor teme“ din literatura european (german, francez, englez, rus, romn), aceea nrudit, direct sau indirect, cu suflul zarathustrian al fostului profesor de la Universitatea din Basel. La un nivel secund ns, mult mai profund i mai semnificativ, el este un elogiu excepional adus vitalismului injectat de solarul divin, reflectat magistral prin textele unor Berdiaev, Sestov, Kierkegaard i mai ales Nietzsche. Filiaia cea mai puternic i mai transparent care mi vine n minte dup parcurgerea paginilor tale este Rudolf Otto: dei nu are nevoie s-l citeze niciodat explicit, cartea este infuzat de conceptul de numinos, acel sacru inefabil intuit de teologul german n lucrarea sa capital, Das Heilige. Te felicit pentru acest volum, exemplar n toate sensurile, i sunt convins c oamenii crora li se adreseaz nu vor mai fi aceiai dup parcurgerea sa.“ – Ctlin Ghi.

Gabriela Crean scrie poezie cu gnoz dedesubt. Faptul a fost remarcat nc de la prima sa carte, iar modul acesta de a construi a rmas nu constant, ci neschimbat, chiar dac unele accente s-au mai mutat. Gnoza, tradus apocrif, nu e ns dect schela unei viziuni de intensitate paroxistic. Important cu adevrat e suflul imaginativ, dezlnuirea spasmatic a imaginaiei i ritmul frenetic n care sublimele se topesc n grotesc sau imnoidele se revrs n apostrofe. Gabriela Crean vede lumea oximoronic, n coincidene stupefiante i radicale, n care gramatica sacrelor nu se mai poate distinge de cea a infernalelor. Modului ei de a traduce juisarea vizionar n sarcasme i febra celest n repulsii violente i s-ar potrivi conceptul de profanare al lui Giorgio Agamben. Asta dac poezia n-ar face altceva dect filosofia; dar cum face, Gabriela Crean scrie cu o exasperare exuberant i cu o arden vitriolat despre cel mai inconfortabil mod de a fi n lume: sub un imperativ atroce.“ – Al.
