Book Description
Una serie di risvegli, catturati da un personaggio sconosciuto. Immagini e parole. Imbottigliati e collezionati. Libro illustrato Prologo Fu il freddo a riportarmi nel mio corpo. La prima volta vagai come in un sogno. Mi sono ritrovato a casa dopo aver camminato per oltre due ore. Stringevo una scatola di latta arrugginita tra le mani. Dalle fessure pulsava una tenue luce blu. Tremavo. Non sapevo come ero arrivato davanti quella porta e come ero riuscito a ritornare. Iniziai a vomitare e persi i sensi. Quando ero bambino mio padre mi raccontava la storia del custode delle ombre. Una creatura terrificante dal busto umano, muso di formichiere, ali al posto delle braccia e zoccoli come piedi. Correva e volava lungo un recinto. Custodiva il passaggio tra mondo reale e mondo del sogno. Nel mondo del sogno c'erano tutti i desideri più intimi, le paure più spaventose, i ricordi, le pulsioni dell'umanità che rivivevano nei sogni. Emanavano una luce tanto forte da rendere la creatura quasi cieca. Di tanto in tanto qualcosa da quel luogo sfuggiva, sotto forma di ombra, alla custodia del guardiano, varcava il cancello e giungeva al mondo reale. Così mio padre mi spiegava il risveglio, l'uscita dal mondo dei sogni. Era il suo modo per spiegarmi quelle immagini, quelle parole che non sapevo da dove provenissero. Aprii la scatola e lo vidi per la prima volta. Danzava a mezz'aria. Come un fantasma. Il risveglio di una persona davanti ai miei occhi. Rimasi incollato a quella luce blu che baluginava. Era quello che rimaneva di un sogno, quello che era sfuggito al guardiano. Non sapevo a chi appartenesse né che cosa dovessi farci. Richiusi la scatola e la nascosi. Da allora colleziono ombre. Ecco ciò che raccolgo e colleziono. Scatole di latta che contengono i risvegli di qualcuno. Li custodisco io, il tempo necessario. Vago di posto in posto guidato da una forza a me ignota verso la prossima scatola, verso un altro risveglio. Non so esattamente cosa accada alle persone che lasciano quelle immagini e quelle parole. Mi piace pensare di dar loro sollievo. Certe volte alcuni risvegli svaniscono dalla mia collezione e mi sento leggero. So che un nodo è stato sciolto, il dolore si è tramutato in serenità, la paura di andare avanti è svanita. Forse un giorno accadrà anche a me. E sarà il nirvana. Ma adesso è l'alba e sono sulla strada. Io che sono il collezionista di ombre. Translator: Mirko Ravaschino PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book Description
I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before, including Nirvana's consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana's famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gig's recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain's tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.

Book Description
When Nirvana first exploded onto the music scene in 1991 with the anthemic 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', few people could've predicted their subsequent global impact. No one knew then that Nevermind would become one of the seminal albums of the decade, selling over 30 million copies worldwide and spearheading a whole new 'grunge' movement. In so doing, the band's lead singer Kurt Cobain was transformed into one of music's most enduring and iconic figures.As drummer for the British group Captain America - one of the two support bands on Nirvana's Nevermind UK tour - Andy Bollen had a ringside seat at the exact moment that Nirvana went massive. Afforded the sort of access a journalist could only dream of, Andy Bollen wrote up his own personal diary in Nirvana's dressing room. Here, he spoke candidly to Cobain: from his fears of losing original fans to his love of the Bay City Rollers. He saw firsthand how Nirvana worked, the relationships that made them tick and the dynamic that made them one of the great bands.Nirvana - A Tour Diary is a warm, affectionate, funny and, at times, brutally honest account, written by a guy on the periphery, waiting in the wings, a mixture of Woody Allen's Zelig and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. Drawing on diaries kept at the time, the book brings to life a pivotal moment in rock history making it a must-read for the many millions of Nirvana fans and lovers of iconic rock stories everywhere. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be there, backstage, at the start of the Nirvana phenomenon, then read on ...

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death comes a new perspective on one of the most compelling icons of our time In early 1991, top music manager Danny Goldberg agreed to take on Nirvana, a critically acclaimed new band from the underground music scene in Seattle. He had no idea that the band’s leader, Kurt Cobain, would become a pop-culture icon with a legacy arguably at the level of that of John Lennon, Michael Jackson, or Elvis Presley. Danny worked with Kurt from 1990 to 1994, the most impactful period of Kurt’s life. This key time saw the stratospheric success of Nevermind, which turned Nirvana into the most successful rock band in the world and made punk and grunge household terms; Kurt’s meeting and marriage to the brilliant but mercurial Courtney Love and their relationship that became a lightning rod for critics; the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean; and, finally, Kurt’s public struggles with addiction, which ended in a devastating suicide that would alter the course of rock history. Throughout, Danny stood by Kurt’s side as manager, and close friend. Drawing on Goldberg’s own memories of Kurt, files that previously have not been made public, and interviews with, among others, Kurt’s close family, friends, and former bandmates, Serving the Servants sheds an entirely new light on these critical years. Casting aside the common obsession with the angst and depression that seemingly drove Kurt, Serving the Servants is an exploration of his brilliance in every aspect of rock and roll, his compassion, his ambition, and the legacy he wrought—one that has lasted decades longer than his career did. Danny Goldberg explores what it is about Kurt Cobain that still resonates today, even with a generation who wasn’t alive until after Kurt’s death. In the process, he provides a portrait of an icon unlike any that has come before.
