Publisher's Notes
Por primera vez, y en sus propias palabras, Celia Cruz cuenta la historia de su vida, sus alegrías, sus tristezas y los múltiples obstáculos que tuvo que enfrentar para convertirse en una de las artistas más destacadas de nuestra época. Cuando Celia Cruz murió , el 17 de julio del 2003, más de medio millón de personas -- en Miami y en Nueva York -- esperaron en fila durante horas para presentarle sus últimos respetos a la Reina de la Salsa. Varios millones más le rindieron homenaje en pequeñas celebraciones conmemorativas, organizadas en sus propias casas y en festivales callejeros a través del mundo entero. Al son de su inconfundible voz y las canciones que la llevaron a la cima, la muerte de la Reina de la Salsa fue marcada por el mismo gozo que ella supo transmitirle a millones de personas a todo lo largo de su increíble vida y su carrera, una carrera que abarcó toda la segunda mitad del siglo veinte. Sin embargo, a pesar de su fama y popularidad, la vida de Celia Cruz siempre estuvo cubierta por un velo de misterio. Hasta ahora, nunca le había contado a nadie la historia de su vida y nadie nunca había visto su colección privada de fotos. En este libro, por fin les abre las puertas a sus admiradores y nos cuenta su historia, en sus propias palabras. De su modesta infancia en Cuba, a sus años de exilio en México y su impresionante carrera en Estados Unidos, de sus extravagantes vestidos a su personalidad sencilla y reservada, Celia fue sin duda alguna, una mujer de contrastes. Era sincera, espontánea y accesible para sus fans, pero siempre fue muy privada con su vida personal. Era desinhibida sin ser decadente, honesta sin ser ofensiva, confiada sin ser arrogante y generosa a más no poder. Sin embargo, antes que nada, Celia era una mujer auténtica. Y esa autenticidad que la caracterizaba, es la que hizo que su público la quisiera tanto. Basado en más de 500 horas de entrevistas grabadas tan sólo unos meses antes de su muerte, Celia incluye fotografías y anécdotas inéditas sobre la vida de Celia Cruz, revelándole a sus millones de admiradores, una vida que había permanecido muy privada a pesar de haberse vivido sobre el escenario. Celia es la celebración de la vida de una mujer dotada de un talento extraordinario. Es la historia de una mujer apasionada, trabajadora y que tenía una fe indestructible en Dios y en toda la humanidad. En estas, sus últimas palabras, le rinde homenaje al público que tanto la adoraba.

Behind Blue Eyes
by Geoffrey Giuliano
He was the brains behind the innovative and phenomenally popular band The Who. He invented the rock opera with Tommy, and his new version of that show was a long-running Broadway smash. He is an outstanding guitarist whose career has flourished over more than three decades. Pete Townshend has lived a fascinating, often troubled life, but strangely, he has never been the subject of a biography—until now. Rock authority Geoffrey Giuliano, who has known Townshend intimately for almost twenty years, provides a complete look at Townshend’s turbulent and eventful life. Giuliano details Townshend’s stellar career with impressive insight, candor, and compassion. Giuliano also delves into the sensational aspects of Townshend’s much-talked-about personal life, including his devastating addiction to heroin and alcohol, his volatile and sometimes violent relationships with fellow band members, and his recent admission of his bisexuality. • Appendices feature a complete discography of Townshend’s recordings over the last three decades and an exhaustive chronology of events. Relying on countless interviews with close friends, co-workers, and fellow musicians (including Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, and Keith Richards), as well as with Townshend himself, Giuliano draws an enlightening and entertaining portrait of rock’s often contradictory and all-too-human elder statesman.
Positively 4th Street
by David Hajdu
When Bob Dylan, age twenty five, wrecked his motorcycle near Woodstock in 1966 and disappeared from public view, he closed a chapter on one of the most fascinating stories in postwar cultural history. In just five years Dylan had become the spokesman for the counterculture, Greenwich Village had become the epicenter of youth style, and folk music, once played by earnest throwbacks, had been crossed with rock 'n' roll to form a thoughtful, literate new musical style. The legend of that time is so well known that it is easy to lose sight of how it came about. In POSITIVELY 4TH STREET David Hajdu, whose biography of Billy Strayhorn was one of the best and most popular music books in many season, tells how folk became rock as the story of a colorful foursome: Dylan; his part time lover Joan Baez; her sister Mimi, beautiful, haunted, a musician in her own right; and Mimi's husband, Richard Farina, a novelist and songwriter who virtually invented the worldly wise bohemian persona that Dylan later made his own. In Hajdu's candid, often intimate account based on several hundred new interviews the four musician's rise from scruffy coffeehouse folksingers to pop stars comes about through their personal relationships, as the young Dylan has an affair with the famous Joan Baez to further his career, Farina courts Mimi Baez while looking longingly on her older sister, and Farina's friend Thomas Pynchon keeps an eye on their amours from afar. POSITIVELY 4TH STREET is that rare book with a new story to tell about the 1960s the story of how some of the greatest and most enduring American popular music was created in a fit of collective inspiration.
Mozart
by Robert W. Gutman
This major work places Mozart's life and music in the context of the intellectual, political, and artistic currents of eighteenth-century Europe. Even as he delves into philosophic and aesthetic questions, Robert Gutman keeps in sight, clearly and firmly, the composer and his works. He discusses the major genres in which Mozart worked-chamber music; liturgical, theater, and keyboard compositions; concerto; symphony; opera; and oratorio. All of these riches unfold within the framework of the composer's brief but remarkable life. With Gutman's informed and sensitive handling, Mozart emerges in a light more luminous than in previous renderings. The composer was an affectionate and generous man to family and friends, self-deprecating, witty, winsome, but also an austere moralist, incisive and purposeful. Mozart is both an extraordinary portrait of a man in his time and a brilliant distillation of musical thought.
