Synopsis

It has been more than 50 years since the extraordinary British rock band Van der Graaf Generator released their legendary fourth studio album, Pawn Hearts. It remains a mind-splitting masterpiece that fascinated an entire generation of music lovers. Written by well-known progressive rock author Paolo Carnelli, this is the most extensive treatise of its kind on this seminal 1971 record. Starting with the birth of the Pawn Hearts concept from live band experience, the song rehearsals and eventually the recording of the album material, what follows is a detailed track-by-track musical and lyrical analysis. Specific chapters are dedicated to the making and the meaning of the artwork and to the band's collaboration with King Crimson’s Robert Fripp. The last part of the book deals with the press reaction to the album and the unexpected release of the ‘Theme One' single in 1972. The final chapter contrasts an initial performance of ‘A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers’ in March 1972 with the band’s 2013 tour, which presented this rarely performed epic once again, and ends with a detailed Pawn Hearts discography. The book is enhanced by a preface by Gary Lucas and some fresh comments from David Jackson, Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, Peter Hammill, Stephen W. Tayler and Paul Whitehead.
 
The authorOne of the most distinguished Italian prog rock journalists, Paolo Carnelli has been writing about music for over 30 years. A devoted researcher of Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill efforts, he already published Van der Graaf Generator - La Biografia Italiana (2013), the first, highly acclaimed biography of the band in Italian, and Behind and Beyond - Le storie dietro le copertine (2022), revealing the stories behind every Van der Graaf Generator cover artwork. He is the Editorial Director of Prog magazine, Italian edition, and he also runs the online webzine Open Magazine.

    The ultimate photographic collection of the most historic trees on the planet. 
    Uncover remarkable trees from around the world, many of which have borne witness to key moments in history or reached a scale and age that have allowed them to become a part of history themselves. 
    “[A] rich history … it contains some of the most extraordinary tales of trees through time” — The Sunday Post 
    First meet 'Methuselah’, a bristlecone pine in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, believed to be 4,900 years old. Learn about trees which have inspired great events, such as the Isaac Newton apple tree in Lincolnshire, where the famous scientist observed an apple falling from a tree (which still stands in the family garden). Other flora has withstood historic events such as in Japan, where the Hibaku jumoku still grows as a survivor tree from the Hiroshima bombing and the 9/11 Survivor Tree in New York City. 
    Many trees continue to inspire our world today including the long avenue of beech trees in Northern Ireland known as the Dark Hedges which Game of Thrones fans will instantly recognise as the road to Kings Landing, the Robin Hood’s oak in the Sherwood Forest or the J. R. R. Tolkien trees in Avebury, which inspired the Ents in The Lord of the Rings. 
    Rest a while beside the oldest trunks and witness the enthralling stories nestled within the branches of these gentle giants. 
    For fans of Gene Stone (Animalkind), Scott Christianson (Fatal Airs), Valentina D'Efilippo (The Brain), Simon Sebag Montefiore (Stalin), and Nigel Farndale (Haw-Haw).

    In turns beloved and reviled, twentieth century art, painter, filmmaker, and designer Salvador Dalí set Europe and the United States ablaze with his uncompromising genius, sexual sadism, and flirtations with megalomania. His shocking behavior and work frequently alienated critics; his views were so outrageous, even prominent Surrealists tried to ostracize him. Still, every morning he experienced "an exquisite joy—the joy of being Salvador Dalí," and, through a remarkable talent that invited bewilderment, anger, and adoration, rose to unprecedented levels of fame—forever shifting the landscape of the art world and the nature of celebrity itself. 
     
     
     
    In this stunning volume, noted art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown discuss the historical, social, and political conditions that shaped Dalí's work, identify the impact of Modern as well as Old Master art, and present an unflinching view of the master's personal relationships and motivations. With their deeply compelling narrative, Isbouts and Brown uncover how Dalí's visual wit and enduring cult of personality still impacts fashion, literature, and art, from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga, and seeks to answer why, in an age of shock and awe, Dalí's art still manages to distress, perplex, and entertain.
