"Dylan remains the rare singer whose work is worth reading on the page. His words are consistently funny, alive to the sound of language, and of course appealingly cryptic." --The New York Times Book Review A new collection of Bob Dylan's most essential lyrics--one hundred songs that represent the Nobel Laureate's incredible range through the entirety of his career so far. Bob Dylan is one of the most important cultural figures of our time, and the first American musician in history to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. 100 Songs is an intimate and carefully curated collection of his most important lyrics that spans from the beginning of his career through the present day. Perfect for students who may be new to Dylan's work as well as longtime fans, this portable, abridged volume of these singular lyrics explores the depth, breadth, and magnitude of one of the world's most enduring bodies of work.

Duluth, Minnesota. 1934. A community living on a knife-edge. Lost and lonely people huddle together in the local guesthouse. The owner, Nick, owes more money than he can ever repay, his wife Elizabeth is losing her mind and their daughter Marianne is carrying a child no one will account for. So, when a preacher selling bibles and a boxer looking for a comeback turn up in the middle of the night, things spiral beyond the point of no return… In Girl from the North Country, Conor McPherson beautifully weaves the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan into a show full of hope, heartbreak and soul. It premiered at The Old Vic, London, in July 2017, in a production directed by Conor McPherson, and later transferred to London's West End and Broadway.

Winner of the NOBEL PRIZE in Literature 2016 For the first time, a comprehensive, definitive collection of lyrics of music legend and poet Bob Dylan. A major publishing event - a beautiful, comprehensive collection of the lyrics of Bob Dylan with artwork from thirty-three albums. As it was well put by Al Kooper (the man behind the organ on 'Like a Rolling Stone'), 'Bob is the equivalent of William Shakespeare. What Shakespeare did in his time, Bob does in his time.' Christopher Ricks, editor of T. S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, Tennyson, and The Oxford Book of English Verse, has no argument with Mr. Kooper's assessment, and Dylan is attended to accordingly in this authoritative edition of his lyrics. In the words of Ricks: 'For fifty years, all the world has delighted in Bob Dylan's books of words and more than words: provocative, mysterious, touching, baffling, not-to-be-pinned-down, intriguing, and a reminder that genius is free to do as it chooses. And, again and again, these are not the words that he sings on the initially released albums.' This edition changes things, giving us the words from officially released studio and live recordings, as well as selected variant lyrics and revisions to these, recent revisions and retrospective ones; and, from the archives, words that, till now, have not been published.

2016-års Nobelpristagare Bob Dylans enda roman Tarantula i dubbelspråkig svensk-engelsk utgåva! Tarantula är ett mästerverk på så många vis: Originaliteten - det här liknar inget annat. Inte ens Joyce kan skriva så här. Joyces verk är rena disciplinerade korsordskonstruktionerna i jämförelse med Dylans spontankaotiska flöde. Frånvaron av klichéer - det finns inte en enda sliten fras i boken, inte en schablon - varenda formulering är radikalt ny och aldrig förr hörd. Inte "en abraham lincoln-tavla faller ner från väggen" utan "en abraham lincoln-tavla faller ner från taket" - Dylan har alltid minst dubbla lager när han skildrar något, först det man kanske skulle kunna tro och sedan minst ytterligare en komplikation - men så inträder också alltid en radikalny kvalitet i allt han gör. Rikedomen - boken är proppfull, man kan slå upp den var som helst och läsa en rad vilken som helst och garanterat få ett originellt poetiskt uttryck att tampas med, boken är som ett ymnighetshorn, det tar aldrig slut. "Från hans bästa period – redan det en anledning att skaffa boken... en annan är Peter Glas efterord om konsten att läsa Tarantula." Johan Svedjedal, Svenska Dagbladet.

The portrait of a very young Bob Dylan on the cover of "The Times They Are a Changin" is probably one of the most recognizable and famous album covers of all time. Photographer Barry Feinstein took that photo, as well as many more of Dylan throughout his career. His images have been published throughout the world many times over, and have become synonymous with our perceptions of that place and time in rock and folk music history. Inspired by a series of photographs that Feinstein took in Hollywood during the 1950s and 60s, Bob Dylan wrote an extraordinary series of poems that have remained unpublished for decades. They are thought-provoking, witty and erudite observations of the world; through the lens of Feinstein's photographs, they speak volumes about the anonymous faces and places of Los Angeles, and offer wry commentary on images of stars and legends in the neighbourhood at the time. Photos of Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Judy Garland float through the book, as do poignant images of starlets, casting couches, employment agencies and palm tree'd boulevards. Feinstein was there with a camera to capture some world-famous events, such as Marilyn Monroe's memorial service, and he photographed the forgettable moments, preserving them perfectly and timelessly. Bob Dylan's unsettling and distinctly unique perspective informs and enlivens every page, an irresistible interpretive voice narrating the visual images from photo to photo.
