" 'I found a pattern in my behavior that had been repeating itself for years, decades even. Bad choices were my specialty, and if something honest and decent came along, I would shun it or run the other way.' With striking intimacy and candor, Eric Clapton tells the story of his eventful and inspiring life in this poignant and honest autobiography. More than a rock star, Eric Clapton is an icon, a living embodiment of the history of rock music. Well known for his reserve in a profession marked by self-promotion, flamboyance, and spin, he now chronicles, for the first time, his remarkable personal and professional journeys. Born illegitimate in 1945 and raised by his grandparents, Eric never knew his father and, until the age of nine, believed his actual mother to be his sister. In his early teens his solace was the guitar, and his incredible talent would make him a cult hero in the clubs of Britain and inspire devoted fans to scrawl "Clapton is God" on the walls of London's Underground. With the formation of Cream, the world's first super group, he became a worldwide superstar, but conflicting personalities tore the band apart within two years. His stints in Blind Faith, in Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, and in Derek and the Dominos were also short-lived but yielded some of the most enduring songs in history, including the classic "Layla." During the late sixties he played as a guest with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, as well as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and longtime friend George Harrison. It was while working with the latter that he fell for Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, a seemingly unrequited love that led him to the depths of despair, self-imposed seclusion, and drug addiction. By the early seventies he had overcome his addiction and released the bestselling album 461 Ocean Boulevard, with its massive hit "I Shot the Sheriff." He followed that with the platinum album Slowhand, which included "Wonderful Tonight," a touching love song to Pattie, whom he finally married at the end of 1977. A short time later, however, Eric had replaced heroin with alcohol as his preferred vice, following a pattern of behavior that not only was detrimental to his music but contributed to the eventual breakup of his marriage. In the eighties he would battle and beat alcoholism and become a father. But just as his life was coming together, he was struck by a terrible blow: His beloved four-year-old son, Conor, died in a freak accident. At an earlier time Eric might have coped with this tragedy by fleeing into a world of addiction. But now a much stronger man, he took refuge in music, responding with the achingly beautiful "Tears in Heaven." Clapton is the powerfully written story of a survivor, a man who has achieved the pinnacle of success despite extraordinary demons. It is one of the most compelling memoirs of our time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Gift quality first edition hardcover in rusty butternut colored paper covered boards that are lightly sprung at the open ends (see image). No weird smells, or marks. No names, tears or soil in the glossy 108 pp text and matte grey paper index. I see two tidy black marker lines in the index, with an errata slip laid in. Original, unclipped (and unpriced) white background color illustrated dust wrapper shows soil at flap folds and near gutter/spine area from storage. Large 1933 b/w photo of Fernand Leger on rear panel. This is the first attempt to survey from an objective, historical standpoint, the various currents of formalist art that were informing the Paris scene during the nineteen twenties. The most vocal of the Paris painters were Ozenfant and Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) who together launched the purist movement in 1918. But of all the artists working in France at the time it was Leger who spanned and combined the greatest number of idioms, and his relationship to the Purists has been taken as the pivotal point of this survey. The texts and the selection of paintings and sculpture are the work of John Golding, a painter and lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and a young art historian Christopher Green who also teaches at the Courtauld.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition white boards, white spine, and green spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Philip Norman; Author Dedication; Postscript: Sean Remembers; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "For more than a quarter century, Philip Norman's internationally bestselling Shout! has been unchallenged as the definitive biography of the Beatles. Now, at last, Norman turns his formidable talent to the Beatle for whom belonging to the world's most beloved pop group was never enough. Drawing on previously untapped sources, and with unprecedented access to all the major characters, here is the comprehensive and most revealing portrait of John Lennon that is ever likely to be published. This masterly biography takes a fresh and penetrating look at every aspect of Lennon's much chronicled life, including the songs that have turned him, posthumously, into a near-secular saint. In three years of research, Norman has turned up an extraordinary amount of new information about even the best-known episodes of Lennon folklore - his upbringing by his strict Aunt Mimi; his allegedly wasted school and student days; the evolution of his peerless creative partnership with Paul McCartney; his Beatle-busing love affair with a Japanese performance artist; his forays into painting and literature; his experiments with Transcendental Meditaion, primal scream therapy, and drugs. The book's numerous key informants and interviewees include Sir Paul McCartney, Sir George Martin, Sean Lennon - whose moving reminiscence reveals his father as never before - and Yoko Ono, who speaks with sometimes shocking candor about the inner workings of her marriage to John. Honest and unflinching, as John himself would wish, Norman gives us the whole man in all his endless contradictions - tough and cynical, hilariously funny but also naive, vulnerable and insecure - and reveals how the mother who gave him away as a toddler haunted his mind and his music for the rest of his days." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Cloth. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1970. First Edition.

Near fine book in a VG+ price-clipped jacket with a faint small sticker shadow and very minimal peripheral wear. See scan (which is taken with the book protected by mylar, somewhat compromising color vividness). Under his much more familiar pseudonym, John Norman, Lange wrote the entire Gor series of Science Fiction titles which, because of the richness of its concept of sexual and other slavery as a contextually beautiful thing, spawned an entire branch of the BDSM community, that being Gorean BDSM. The Cognitivity Paradox is the only title authored by Lange alone under his given name, and this copy was the first one he signed, as per his statement to the original owner (provenance to purchase). The book itself is non-fiction, a sort of general criticism of philosophy (in fact, as it turns out, of a particular form of rigorous classical philosophy). The main thrust of his criticism is that, despite centuries of struggle within philosophy to make its endeavor a cognitive one - i.e., one which yields objective knowledge - philosophy (philosophers) has itself made that impossible by defining itself in a way which precludes, by that definition, its being cognitive. Despite statements to the contrary in jacket blurbs, Lange's own reasoning here is pretty much presented with the same uncomfortably stiff-sounding strictures, jargon and mental pigeon-holing of which formal philosophy is often guilty - if you define "formal philosophy" as an averaging-out of what full-time professional general-purpose philosophers have done over the last two hundred or so years. But he probably felt he had to do that, at the time. It was 1970. His more natural philosophizing, done as John Norman and couched largely as objective correlatives in the adventures of Gor, is much more fun to read. But this book is interesting in its own way, and certainly is unique, as his first signature ever in a copy of the only work he ever authored (alone) under his given name. l-44 n.
