This book presents an answer to the question: what is nirvana? Part I distinguishes between systematic and narrative thought in the Pali texts of Theravada Buddhism in South and Southeast Asia, arguing that nirvana produces closure in both, and setting nirvana in the wider category of Buddhist Felicities. Part II explores other Buddhist utopias (both eu-topias, 'good places', and ou-topias, 'no-places'), and relates Buddhist utopianism to studies of European and American utopian writing. The book ends with a close reading of the Vessantara Jataka, which highlights the conflict between the ascetic quest for closure and ultimate felicity, and the ongoing demands of ordinary life and society. Steven Collins discusses these issues in relation to textuality, world history and ideology in premodern civilizations, aiming to contribute to an alternate vision of Buddhist history, which can hold both the inside and the outside of texts together.

A photo journal, a grunge rock micro-history, and a behind-the-scenes look into the touring life of Nirvana during 1989.

A downright revolutionary 30th-anniversary deluxe edition of the iconic bestselling biography of Nirvana, updated with exclusive new content exploring the personal and cultural forces that inspired the music, the author's friendship with Kurt Cobain and why multiple generations remain fascinated by the 1990s."Just tell the truth. That'll be better than anything else that's been written about me."--Kurt Cobain to author Michael AzerradIt has been three decades since Nirvana upended the pop cultural landscape with Nevermind, the landmark album that became the soundtrack of Generation X, capturing its confusion, frustration, and passion. In 1993, Michael Azerrad published what stands as the definitive biography of this revolutionary band and its star-crossed leader Kurt Cobain. Written with the band's complete cooperation, Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana became a massive bestseller and was, in the words of Cobain, "the best rock book I've ever read."Seven months after the book's original publication, Cobain was dead by suicide, making Come as You Are the only book about Nirvana that features original interviews with Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic, and drummer Dave Grohl.Now, Azerrad has revisited and reconsidered his original text. The result is this "amplified" version--a truly unique book-within-a-book featuring hundreds of extensive new essay-like annotations that deepen our understanding of this legendary band and the time in which it existed. Azerrad reconsiders the key players and their cultural context; ruminates on topics such as punk rock, selling out, and Generation X; and offers insights into the inner life and creative mind of one of the most significant songwriters and musicians in rock history--a haunting and haunted artist whose influence continues powerfully to the present day.It all comes down to a search for the answer to the question: Why was this music so extraordinarily powerful?Vivid, evocative, and thought-provoking, this gorgeous hardcover book--featuring 100 photos and ephemera--is an essential document not just for Nirvana fans but for anyone interested in the cultural legacy of the 1990s.

Kurt Cobain, der "Kronprinz der Generation X" (Newsweek), erschoß sich am 8. April 1994 in seinem Haus in Seattle - wenige Monate zuvor hatte er dort gemeinsam mit Autor Michael Azerrad die Arbeit an dieser einzigen autorisierten Nirvana-Biographie beendet. In schonungsloser Ehrlichkeit erzählt Kurt Cobain über sein Leben, von der freudlosen Jugend in einer Kleinstadt, seinen emotionalen Verletzungen und physischen Leiden bis zu der Betäubung mit Drogen und dem zornigen Weltschmerz in seiner Musik, der ihn innerhalb nur weniger Jahre in die ungewollte Rolle eines Kulthelden katapultierte.

Though "Nevermind" was Nirvana's most commercially successful album, and the record that broke them - and the grunge phenomenon - internationally, "In Utero" has increasingly become regarded as the band's best album, both by the critics and the band members themselves. Instead of sticking to the "grunge pop" formula that made Nevermind so palatable to the mainstream, Nirvana chose instead to challenge their audience, producing an album that the band's creative force, Kurt Cobain, said truly matched his vision of what he had always wanted his band to sound like. Here, the full story behind the creation of "In Utero" is told for the first time.

Nirvana were known as the kings of grunge while singer songwriter Kurt Cobain became a cultural icon who spoke to an entire generation they were for many years the world's most important rock act. With the instantaneous success of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'

The effect that Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl have had upon contemporary music is immeasurable. They brought "alternative" to the masses in a way that no other punk or metal band had before or has since. By combining their varied influences, they created a distinct voice that hit the right chord with the music world at that time. Their undisputed reign as the purveyors of a bold new generation of music came to an abrupt and tragic end when Cobain took his own life in April of 1994. The legacy left behind is recorded in this insightful book of the words that shook the music world. It presents the lyrics with little interference or interpretation so that they can speak for themselves. In the quiet absence of the music, the lyrics - for 67 songs, including all of their commercial releases, plus all B sides and selected rare cuts - take on a life of their own. The range of emotions and ideas distilled in this one concentrated volume is huge. This poetic approach to the band whose work had such an impact, both then and now, will give fans and readers something new that they can take back to the listening experience of their favorite Nirvana songs. "This was the sound of psychic damage, and an entire generation recognized it." - Jeff Giles, Newsweek "Nirvana doesn't bash you over the head with lyrics, anyway. They imply, they suggest, leave it open to interpretation." - Daina Darzin, Village Voice

Exiting Nirvana" is a strong and affecting profile of an artist with autism, beautifully written by her mother...Skillfully weaving in theories of autism with the experience of raising an autistic child, Park goes beyond individual history to address the wider question of what it means to be human".--from the National Magazine Awards presentation.

Kurt è la rock star più famosa del pianeta. Ha appena ventisette anni, ma ha già vissuto tutto. Adesso è solo, lontano dai riflettori e dai palchi, senza amici, senza più voglia di scrivere e di suonare, blindato tra le pareti dorate della sua reggia di Seattle. Nella detonazione dello sparo Kurt rivive tutta la sua vita: l'infanzia ad Aberdeen, i locali, la nascita dei Nirvana, il primo contratto con la Sub Pop, la droga, il successo planetario e improvviso di Nevermind, il grunge, l'amore disperato per Courtney Love, la dipendenza dall'eroina, le tournée mondiali, la nascita di Frances Bean, In Utero, il policlinico di Roma, le disintossicazioni, Unplugged in New York. Fino a quel maledetto fucile Remington... A fargli immancabile compagnia è la voce di quell’amico misterioso al cui abbraccio mortale non saprà sfuggire.

Nirvana's enormous popularity triggered the grunge revolution in Seattle, as local bands such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains became successful too. This book provides the inside story of these bands, examining in detail the life and shocking death of Kurt Cobain.

El 24 de septiembre de 1991, Nirvana publicaba "Nevermind", que en cuestión de semanas se convirtió en disco de oro y desbancó a Michael Jackson de la lista de discos más vendidos, y, de paso, reinventó la historia del rock y entronizó la música de guitarras con distorsión made in USA y de sellos como Sub Pop. Michael Azerrad, autor de "Nuestro grupo podría ser tu vida" (Our Band Could Be Your Life, 2006) ?título fundamental de la literatura musical que relata la génesis del rock independiente norteamericano, publicado por esta editorial? tuvo ocasión de compartir un tiempo precioso y sin precedentes con los miembros de Nirvana cuando estaban en el punto álgido de su popularidad, aunque también de su infamia, tras la aparición de algunos artículos de prensa difamatorios sobre el consumo de heroína de Kurt Cobain y su pareja, Courtney Love, líder de Hole. De la necesidad de dar a conocer la verdadera historia del grupo ?y no de la tergiversada por los medios? surge este libro, a petición del propio Cobain, quien encomendó la misión a Azerrad. El resultado fue "Come as You Are": la primera, y probablemente la mejor, aproximación al grupo que conquistó el mundo y cambió el rumbo de la música popular. El autor no solo tuvo ocasión de entrevistar a todos los miembros y exmiembros de la banda, así como a amigos, parientes y colaboradores, sino que estableció una relación de amistad con Kurt Cobain (voz y guitarra), Dave Grohl (batería) y Krist Novoselic (bajo) que dio lugar a una de las biografías de rock más íntimas, descarnadas e intensas de todos los tiempos. El libro también es el retrato de una de las figuras más insondables de la historia del rock: Kurt Cobain, el joven freak de Aberdeen, Washington, que vivió muchos años al borde de la indigencia componiendo canciones desgarradoras con su guitarra, atenazado desde muy joven por unos terribles dolores físicos y una tendencia a la depresión que, junto con un talento sin parangón, confluyeron para gestar algunos de los temas más emblemáticos del rock de todos los tiempos, como "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Lithium", "Heart-Shaped Box", "All Apologies" o "Come as You Are", y que preconizaron su trágico final, en abril de 1994, que este volumen cuenta en un capítulo adicional publicado tras su suicidio. La presente edición incluye un brillante análisis de los temas de los tres principales álbumes de Nirvana y más de un centenar de fotos, pósteres, flyers y letras manuscritas.
