A triumph - Time Out

Transformer is the only complete and comprehensive telling of the Lou Reed story.

Legendary songwriter and guitarist Lou Reed passed away on the 27th October 2013, but his musical influence is assured. Now discover the true story of the Velvet Underground pioneer in this update of Bockriss classic biography.

Transformer: The Complete Lou Reed Story follows the great songwriter and singer through the series of transformations that define each period of his fifty year career. It opens with the teenage electroshock treatments that dominated his memories of childhood and never stops revealing layer after layer of this complex and often anguished artist and man. Transformer is based on Lous collaborations with the hardest and most romantic artists of his times, from John Cale, Andy Warhol, and Nico, through David Bowie, Robert Wilson, Laurie Anderson and the ghost of Edgar Alan Poe. Rippling underneath everything he did are Lous relationships with his various muses, from his college sweetheart to his three wives (and one drag queen).

Leading Lou Reed biographer, Victor Bockris - who knew Lou throughout the Rachel Years, from Rock n Roll Animal to the Bells - updates his original biography in the wake of Lous death. Through new interviews and photos, he reveals the many transformations of this larger-than-life character, including his final shift from Rock Monster to the Prince Charming he had always wanted to be in the twenty years he spent with the love of his life, Laurie Anderson . Except with Lou, you could never really know what might happen next

Including previously unseen photographs and contributions from Lous innermost circle and collaborators that include similarly esteemed artists such as Andy Warhol and David Bowie, Transformer is as captivating and vivid a read as befits an American master.

Los textos que María Zambrano (1904-1991) reunió en Hacia un saber sobre el alma, publicados entre 1933 y 1945 en diversas revistas de España y América, recogen el germen de su pensamiento más original y el nacimiento de una de las fórmulas más afortunadas de su trayectoria intelectual, así como una de las cumbres del desarrollo de la filosofía de todo el siglo XX: la razón poética. Si la verdad se nos revela de alguna manera, es sólo a través del común ejercicio de la pasión y la razón. En este libro fundacional, en el que dialoga con Nietzsche, Ortega y Gasset o Freud, entre muchos otros, la filósofa nos ofrece la trayectoria, el nacimiento, de la razón poética, llegado a mí casi a ciegas, en la penumbra del ser y del no ser, del saber y no saber. Introducción de Juan Fernando Ortega Muñoz. Esta edición reproduce la fijación del texto que hizo Fernando Muñoz Vitoria en el Vol. I de las OO.CC. de María Zambrano, 2016.
