Igor Stravinsky
£14.40
In addition to being a great composer, Igor Stravinsky was one of the most fascinating personalities of his time. His life spanned an amazing range of events & places
- pre-revolutionary Russia, Europe in the years between the wars, & the United States between 1941 & his death in 1971. Such masterworks as The Firebird, Petrushka, The Rite of Spring & many others fixed his reputation as a leading composer; his friendships
- & often enmities
- with most of his great intellectual contemporaries were famous. His personal life, which involved a double life between his official family & his mistress, was seldom placid. Touchy, unpredictable, witty & unfailingly brilliant, he is an ideal subject for a deeply informed & sophisticated biography. The first volume of this definitive biography covers Stravinsky's life & work from his birth in 1882 through to 1934, with special focus on his Russian roots & his struggles to make his way in Switzerland & France. It draws upon a great deal of new material, including unpublished archival sources, to illuminate the genius of both the music & Stravinsky the man.

If You're Proud To Be A Leeds Fan

In If You're Proud to be a Leeds Fan... Tom Palmer tries to work out just why he claps; why, when he has to miss a home game for work, he feels so bad; and why, whatever day of the week Leeds are playing, he gets a sickly feeling in his stomach until he's in one of the bars near the station calming his nerves. Set in the 2001-02 Premiership season, the author follows David O'Leary's young Leeds United team at stadiums home and away; in bars watching satellite; listening to Radio Leeds and watching the pages of Ceefax. He also focuses as much on the fans as on the action on the pitch and tries to establish if Leeds fans are really so bad? The book examines the highs and lows of the club's recent history and their impact on the supporters - from the Paris riots in 1975 to relegation in
1982 and the glory of the 1992 League win. Palmer discusses the Bowyer-Woodgate trial, the board's plans to take Leeds United away from Elland Road, the club's persistent hooliganism problems - especially their unceasing hatred of Manchester United - and the appointment of England legend Terry Venables as the successor to David O'Leary. If You're Proud to be a Leeds Fan... tries to explain why, in the face of so many reasons why you shouldn't, you still find yourself clapping.
