Tras una temporada en una idílica isla griega, Cohen definió su futuro y se radicó en Nueva York, donde grabó su alabado estreno discográfico que lo puso a la altura de los grandes cantautores de su tiempo.

Llevó una vida de sueño. Saboreó la gloria literaria, fue una estrella del rock. Gozó del cuerpo femenino, y mejor aún, de la amistad de las mujeres. Conoció las profundidades del cuerpo, subió al empíreo del éxtasis religioso; disciplinó su alma en el retiro del mundo, viajó al fondo del mil noches de amor en los hoteles; fue un hippy con clase en Hydra, fue él solo una generación beat. Tomó Berlín. Tomó Manhattan. Dejó en la memoria del mundo su canción y llegó a viejo. Hizo un buen trabajo y lo sabe. LEONARD COHEN. El Vuelo de Yorch es un programa que se comparte con: - ...

La Habana, 2016. Un acontecimiento histórico sacude Cuba: la visita de Barack Obama en lo que se ha llamado el "Deshielo cubano" —la primera visita oficial de un presidente estadounidense desde 1928—, acompañada de eventos como un concierto de los Rolling Stones y un desfile de Chanel, ponen patas arriba el ritmo de la isla. Por eso, cuando un exdirigente del Gobierno cubano aparece asesinado en su apartamento, la policía, desbordada por la visita presidencial, recurre a Mario Conde para que eche una mano en la investigación.

In October, 1973, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen—39 years old, famous, unhappy, and at a creative dead end—traveled to the Sinai desert and inserted himself into the chaos and bloodshed of the Yom Kippur War. Moving around the front with a guitar and a pick-up team of local musicians, Cohen dived headlong into the midst of a global crisis and met hundreds of fighting men and women at the worst moment of their lives. His audiences heard him knowing it might be the last thing they heard, and those who survived never forgot what they heard.

Leonard Bernstein stood at the epicenter of 20th-century American musical life. His creative gifts knew no boundaries, as he moved easily from the podium, to the piano, to television with his nationally celebrated Young People’s Concerts, which introduced an entire generation to the joy of classical music. In this fascinating new biography, the breadth of Bernstein’s musical composition is explored, through the spectacular range of music he composed—from West Side Story to Kaddish to A Quiet Place and beyond—and through his intensely public role as an internationally celebrated conductor.

This anthology, with an introduction by Robert Silverberg, offers a sweeping survey of robots as depicted throughout literature. Since the Iliad—in which we are shown golden statues built by Hephaestus “with minds and wisdoms”—humans have been fascinated by the idea of artificial life. From the Argonautica to the medieval Jewish legend of the Golem and Ambrose Bierce’s tale of a chess-playing robot, the idea of what robots are—and who creates them—can be drastically different.

"Blurred faces loom in and out of my vision, their lips moving, yet I hear not a word. Surgical masks cover their faces. Blue gowns are splattered with blood.. I regard my uniform,bloodied and torn. My body racked with pain. I have been given an injection; I feel myself falling down a black tunnel at the bottom of which I see two silver angels whose bodies are harnessed to a chariot of gold, their wings gently flapping, waiting for me to arrive so as to carry me in their chariot to a distant place..........." I then begin my ultimate journey and pass through that thinly meshed veil into the...

50 cartas inventadas a Leonard Cohen que, en realidad, son monólogos y desvaríos del autor. "Si me voy a volver loco, que sea con sombrero para irme todas las mañanas a conversar con los pajarillos del parque. Que la gente comente a mi paso: «Por ahí va el del sombrero... está loco pero es un loco bueno». Así, sin más, entre gorriones y sombreros, ver empezar a caer el siglo y antes caer yo."

From his dazzling conducting debut in 1943 until his death in 1990, Leonard Bernstein's star blazed brilliantly. In this fresh and revealing biography of Bernstein's political life, Barry Seldes examines Bernstein's career against the backdrop of cold war America - blacklisting by the State Department in 1950, voluntary exile from the New York Philharmonic in 1951 for fear that he might be blacklisted, and the factors that by the mid-1950s allowed his triumphant return to the New York Philharmonic.

Patrick ended up writing the theme song for the series and his involvement didn’t end there. He joins Tom to talk about his work on “So Long, Marianne” and his relationship with the late Canadian icon.
