Bono Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Bono, umělec, aktivista a zpěvák irské rockové skupiny U2, napsal vzpomínkovou knihu, která je bolestně upřímná, důvěrná a hluboká. Kniha Surrender zachycuje jeho pozoruhodný životní příběh, popisuje výzvy, kterým čelil, a vypráví o přátelích a příbuzných, kteří ho na jeho cestě formovali a podporovali.Bono je jedním z nejvýraznějších světových umělců a spoluzakladatelem organizací ONE a RED. O jeho profesní dráze bylo popsáno mnoho papíru, ale v knize Surrender se tohoto úkolu zhostil on sám a poprvé se rozepsal o svém pozoruhodném životě i o lidech, kdo ho na jeho cestě provázeli. Svým originálním způsobem nás provede od událostí svého dospívání v Dublinu přes neobvyklou cestu U2 k pozici jedné z nejvlivnějších kapel na světě až po více než dvacet let aktivistické práce věnované boji proti AIDS a extrémní chudobě. Bono píše upřímně, s velkou dávkou sebereflexe a spoustou humoru nás nechá nahlédnout do svého života a seznámí nás se svou rodinou, přáteli a vírou, tím vším, co ho drželo nad vodou, provokovalo a formovalo.

Bono, il cantante della rock band irlandese U2, presenta la sua autobiografia. In essa racconta senza filtri le sue paure e insicurezze, offrendo un profondo sguardo nella sua anima, segnata da fede, poesia, musica e amore. Riflessioni sulla sua infanzia a Dublino, la morte improvvisa della madre a 14 anni e l'ascesa degli U2 a una delle band rock più influenti del mondo sono al centro del racconto. Viene anche affrontato il suo impegno contro l'AIDS e la fame. Il libro è un memoir letterario che riprende la tradizione dei narratori irlandesi. Dopo sette anni di lavoro, sono stati creati 40 capitoli, ciascuno intitolato a una canzone degli U2 e leggibile come un racconto breve. Ogni capitolo è introdotto da illustrazioni disegnate dallo stesso Bono. Bono sottolinea l'importanza della "dedizione" nella sua vita di musicista, marito e attivista. Nato a Dublino come Paul David Hewson, ha fondato gli U2 nel 1978 con i suoi compagni di scuola. Oltre alla carriera musicale, Bono è attivo come attivista, in particolare contro l'AIDS e la povertà. Vive a Dublino con sua moglie Ali Hewson.

Michka Assayas ha seguito Bono ovunque - durante i concerti in giro per il mondo, nei backstages, nei pub come nei bistrot, ha parlato con lui fino a notte fonda nel corso di colossali bevute, ha ascoltato più volte il leader degli U2 dichiarare - 'Mai fidarsi di un musicista, i musicisti sono i migliori bugiardi...', ma alla fine c'è riuscito - un ritratto denso di rivelazioni e curiosità dell'uomo, dell'artista e della sua band. Dalla partenza da Dublino ai difficili esordi in una Londra ancora ostile verso i gruppi irlandesi, fino a oggi, passando attraverso gli anni Ottanta, durante i quali gli U2 esplodono a livello planetario, non prima di aver rischiato la bancarotta. E ancora; i soldi, il successo, il mondo dell'arte, i colleghi e i nemici, i progetti futuri, le groupies, la famiglia, la fede, e l'impegno in prima persona di Bono nella lotta contro l'Aids.

Fans dürfen sich freuen: Pünktlich zur Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums gibt es eine Sammlung von Zitaten und Gedanken von Bono und seinen Bandkollegen. Nach den Sammlungen über andere Größen der Musikgeschichte versammelt der Palmyra Verlag in seiner Reihe „In eigenen Worten“ die Aussagen der irischen Band. Die Themen reichen von den Anfängen der Band über Religion und Songwriting bis hin zu Irland und Amerika, den Platten, Konzerten und dem guten alten Rock’n’Roll. Hier finden sich sowohl tiefgründige als auch oberflächliche Äußerungen, Erhellendes neben Eitlem. Besonders interessant wird es, wenn Bono sich mit seinem Heimatland auseinandersetzt oder die U2-Alben diskutiert. Diese Zitatensammlung ist eher ein Schmöker als ein Lesestoff, bietet jedoch für den fortgeschrittenen Fan unverzichtbare Einblicke. Herausgeberin Susan Black hat akribisch die Archive durchforstet und die Interview-Äußerungen der vier Iren chronologisch zusammengestellt. Auf 192 Seiten wird authentisch nachvollzogen, wie sich die Einstellungen der Musiker zu ihrer Musik, zu Kollegen, politischen Ereignissen und ihrer Biografie entwickelt haben. Die deutsche Übersetzung lässt kaum Fragen offen.
