Anatomy of a Miracle

The End of Apartheid and the Birth of the New South Africa

By: Patti Waldmeir

The late 1980s were a dismal time inside South Africa. Mandela's African National Congress was banned. Thousands of ANC supporters were jailed without charge. Government hit squads assassinated and terrorized opponents of white rule. Ordinary South Africans, black and white, lived in a perpetual state of dread. Journalist Patti Waldmeir evokes this era of uncertainty in Anatomy of a Miracle, her comprehensive new book about the stunning and-historically speaking-swift tranformation of South Africa from white minority oligarchy to black-ruled democracy. Much that Waldmeir documents in this carefully researched and elegantly written book has been well reported in the press and in previous books. But what distinguishes her work is a reporter's attention to detail and a historian's sense of sweep and relevance. . . .Waldmeir has written a deeply reasoned book, but one that also acknowledges the power of human will and the tug of shared destiny."-Philadelphia Inquirer

Patti Smith: Before Easter After

By: Patti Smith

A new trade publication of Before Easter After, originally published in a limited edition at $1,000. Hundreds of rarely seen images by legendary photographer Lynn Goldsmith offer an intimate portrait of rock ’n’ roll icon Patti Smith during a transformative moment in her career. Images of Smith performing on stage combine with candid behind-the-scenes photographs and striking studio shoots to create a deeply personal look at the singer during her rise to fame. The photographs include Smith’s life-changing accident while on tour in 1977 and the aftermath, as well as closeup, empathetic portraits that reveal Smith’s self-assurance, her defiance of cultural norms, and her effortless poise. This poignant visual narrative is punctuated throughout by Smith’s original poetry and song lyrics. This book is both a glimpse into a fabled time in music history, documenting a young artist creating what turned out to be a revolutionary work, as well as a celebration of an enduring partnership between two close friends who continue to be creative collaborators to this day.

Just Kids

By: Patti Smith

Det var sommaren då Coltrane dog, kärlekens och kravallernas sommar, då ett slumpartat möte i Brooklyn förde in två unga människor på en väg som skulle leda till något stort. Patti Smith skulle komma att utvecklas som poet och artist och Robert Mapplethorpe skulle med sin mycket provocerande stil komma att inrikta sig på fotografi. Förenande i oskuld och entusiasm genomkorsade de storstaden tillsammans, från Coney Island till Forty-second Street, och så småningom hamnade de vid det ryktbara runda bordet på Max ́s Kansas City där gruppen kring Andy Warhol höll hov. 1969 installerade de sig på Hotel Chelsea och blev snart en del av ett brödraskap med både kända och okända – den tidens inflytelserika artister och den färgstarka skara som omgav dem. Det var en period då poesins, rockens, konstens och sexualpolitikens världar kolliderade och exploderade. Och det var i denna miljö som svor på att de alltid skulle finnas där för varandra. Hängivna sin konst och uppfyllda av ömsesidiga drömmar och drivkrafter skulle de sporra och ta hand om varandra under de magra åren. Just Kids börjar som en kärlekshistoria och slutar som en sorgesång. Berättelsen är en hyllning till staden New York under slutet av sextiotalet och under sjuttiotalet, den är en hyllning till dess rika och fattiga, dess skurkar och bråkmakare. Som en sann saga är den en bild av två unga konstnärers väg till berömmelse.

M Train

By: Patti Smith

En dix-huit "stations", Patti Smith nous entraîne dans un voyage qui traverse le paysage de ses aspirations et de son inspiration, par le prisme des cafés et autres lieux qu’elle a visités dans le monde. De la Casa Azul de Frida Kahlo aux tombes de Genet, Rimbaud, Mishima, elle trace un itinéraire flottant au cœur de ses références et de sa vie. Oscillant entre rêve et réalité, passé et présent, Patti Smith nous propose un livre inclassable, profondément sensible et sincère, illustré par les photographies en noir et blanc qu’elle prend depuis toujours, et qui confirme qu’elle est l’une des artistes actuelles les plus singulières et indépendantes.

P. Smith revient sur ses années de bohème dans le New York arty des années 1970 et sur son amitié amoureuse avec R. Mapplethorpe, son compagnon de galère et d'inspiration. Elle raconte leur rencontre, leur ascension, qui se fait au détriment de leur amour mais pas de leur lien. Les anecdotes évoquent les grandes heures du Chelsea Hotel et de la Factory, J. Hendrix, A. Warhol ou A. Ginsberg.
