The Doors : l'album, une notice d'écoute - Serge de Bono

 


"Cette notice a pour ambition de décupler votre plaisir d’écoute du premier album et chef-d’œuvre des Doors, publié en janvier 1967. Les analyses de chacune de ses 11 plages s'appuient sur des sources soigneusement recoupées. Elles abordent en premier lieu les textes – majeurs chez les Doors ! – puis l'interprétation musicale par les quatre membres du groupe. Ramassé et compact, ce livret vous évitera de vous disperser sur le web tout en écoutant l’album : c'est un véritable « tout-en-un » qui vous est ici proposé, riche en découvertes."

Le Monde selon Jim - Bruno Geneste

 


"Il s’agit d’un récit qui recèle plusieurs niveaux de lecture, avec des images, des visions, vues et vécues à travers son propre regard comme un miroir ou un reflet de celles pouvant avoir été ressenties par Morrison lui-même.
Bruno Geneste parvient dans cet ouvrage à redonner une parole vivante au chanteur des Doors. Dans une étrange communion, il réhabilite le poète, lui redonne tout le sens profond de sa démarche littéraire. Il marche avec lui sur les grèves de plumes et de varechs. Il ressuscite le Roi Lézard dans une psychanalyse verbale d’une teneur émotionnelle, sincère et envoûtante.
C’est ici-même que les poètes des limites se rejoignent, dans les confluents des mémoires, des cris et des images introspectives cueillies dans les lumières noires et les flux des marées incessantes."

Jim Morrison e lo sciamanesimo - Mario Ferrentino

 



"Per spiegare ciò cui ha dato vita Jim Morrison, questo saggio si avvale dell'antropologia e della storia per analizzare le sfaccettature di una personalità che racchiude in sé i miti indiani, atavici, e le leggende spirituali del mondo "altro". Nelle notti di Los Angeles nasce un mito che diventa emblema di una generazione, portavoce di un mondo che cambia a ritmo di beat e rock'n'roll. Come un documentario fotografico degli anni Sessanta, il libro descrive un quadro storico e culturale che ha aperto le menti a nuove visioni, con la Beat Generation, la New Age e il Festival di Woodstock. Attraverso un approccio velatamente tecnico cerca di far luce sulla figura dello sciamano, al fine di poter comprendere meglio i punti in comune con Jim Morrison. Quando Jim sceglie di fare musica con i Doors regala alla storia del rock le sue migliori performance "sciamaniche", quelle che ancora oggi, a mezzo secolo dalla scomparsa, ipnotizzano milioni di fan."

Set the Night on Fire - Robby Krieger


"Through a series of vignettes, Robby Krieger takes readers back to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents’ living room where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; the empty bars and backyard parties where The Doors played their first awkward gigs; the studios where their iconic songs were recorded; and the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots. SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE is packed with never-before-told stories from The Doors’ most vital years, and offers a fresh perspective on the most infamous moments of the band’s career."

Jim Morrison : Cuando la música acabe apaga las luces - Alberto Manzano

 


"Cincuenta años después de la desaparición de Jim Morrison, ocurrida el 3 de julio de 1971 en París, y envuelta en el más profundo misterio, este libro quiere celebrar la vida del músico-poeta y cantante de los Doors, cuya obra, filosófica, esotérica y transgresora, inmersa en el ardor de la contracultura norteamericana y los estertores del hipismo, trató de liberar a la gente de su limitado modo de ver y sentir la vida."

New Jim Morrison Book! Stronger Than Dirt. Ridin’ Jim Morrison’s HWY Until The End

 


"Subtitled 'Thoughts on the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death', this book reflects on the fact that, this year, the legendary lead singer of The Doors 'broke on through to the other side' half a century ago. In addition, author Fred Baggen shares in this 'memoir fanatique' his personal memories of being introduced to the band's music almost forty years ago, and how this would completely dominate – sometimes overshadow – his life for several decades. Bilingual edition (English / Dutch)."

We are delighted to announce THE COLLECTED WORKS OF JIM MORRISON

Created in collaboration with Jim Morrison’s estate and inspired by a posthumously discovered list entitled “Plan for Book,” this landmark publication is the definitive opus of his creative output—and the book he intended to publish.
Throughout, a compelling mix of 160 visual components accompanies the text: excerpts from his 28 privately held notebooks—all written in his own hand and published here for the first time—as well as an array of personal images and commentary on the work by Morrison himself. Almost 50 percent of this volume has never been published before.
The book is now available for pre-order and will be available on June 8, 2021, wherever books are sold: https://found.ee/dCjt"

Pam e Jim - Alessandro Angeli






"Jim Morrison era un poeta e viveva in simbiosi con la sua ispirazione. Le sue canzoni lo spingevano a indagare percezioni profonde, per questo nascono prima di tutto come testi scritti, flussi di energia trascendente fissati sulla pagina.
Sarà Pamela Courson a insistere affinché Morrison riordini taccuini e carte per iniziare la sua produzione. Pam conosceva il lato più autentico di Jim..."
