After more than two decades of research and travels, Christophe Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, delivers a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art.

Before the celebrated late-career world tours, before the Grammy awards, before the chart-topping albums, before 'Hallelujah' and 'So Long, Marianne' and 'Famous Blue Raincoat', the young Leonard Cohen wrote poetry and fiction and yearned for literary stardom. In A Ballet of Lepers, listeners will discover that the magic that animated Cohen's unforgettable body of work was present from the very beginning.

No other book about Leonard Cohen gets so close to the man, his city, his poems and songs, his friends, his background, and the many original influences that forged this world-famous poet, songwriter and performer as the Song of Leonard Cohen.

These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen monk who didn’t really start out to be one. Raised in a conservative Catholic family, Shozan went on to study philosophy (becoming de-Catholicized in the process) and to pursue a career as a screenwriter and stand-up comic in the clubs of L.A. How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences.

Être Casanova et être un moine. Être un plaisantin et un mélancolique. Être un poète, une star, un troubadour et un ange : être Leonard Cohen. Toute sa vie, l'éternel passant aura déplié sa trajectoire en amoureux du paradoxe, sans cesser de faire ce qu'il fait le mieux : aller de ville en ville, séduire les femmes et raviver nos cœurs. Entre New York, Montréal et l'île grecque d'Hydra, Leonard Cohen : L'Homme qui voyait tomber les anges suit à la trace cette vie cosmopolite menée comme un perpétuel dialogue avec Dieu, avec soi-même et avec les avalanches.

The Flame is a stunning collection of Leonard Cohen's last poems, selected and ordered by the author in the final months of his life. Featuring lyrics, prose pieces and illustrations, the book also contains an extensive selection from Cohen's notebooks, which he kept in poetic form throughout his life, and offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist and thinker.

Leonard Cohen wrote the poems in Book of Longing - his first book of poetry in more than 20 years after 1984's Book of Mercy - during his five-year stay at a Zen monastery on Southern California's Mount Baldy, and in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mumbai. This dazzling collection of poetry is timeless, meditative, and often darkly humorous.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohen's imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

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.

Famed for his song 'Hallelujah' and covered by many artists. He was a huge presence on the music scene for many decades. Born in Canada, he was a novelist, songwriter, poet, and professional singer. His work explored politics, isolation, depression, death, sexuality, religion, loss and romance. With songs such as Hallelujah, Dance me to the end of Love, Suzanne, You want it Dark and many others. I hope you enjoy it.

Leonard Cohen, hier muss man eigentlich nicht viel Erklären. Songs wie "Hallelujah", "Suzanne", "So Long Marianne", "Bird on a wire" sind alles absolute Meisterwerke. Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass der junge Cohen erst zur Gitarre griff um seine Tätigkeit aus Autor und Dichter zu finanzieren, der Rest ist Geschichte...

Um 1968 tingeln Lukas und Harry als Zwei-Mann-Band durch die deutsche Provinz, covern Beatles, Kinks und Donovan und denken: Besser geht's nicht. Bis Lukas eines Nachts im Radio Leonard Cohens "Suzanne" hört und sich weder Titel noch Interpret merken kann. Die kokette Gitte und die erfahrene Julia werden ihm auf der Suche nach dieser einen lebensverändernden Platte behilflich sein. Zehn Jahre später macht Lukas sich auf nach Nirgendwo, nur mit Cohens Gedichten im Gepäck.

Grâce à ses chansons d’une qualité d’écriture peu commune, Leonard Cohen est assurément l’un des artistes les plus estimés et admirés du paysage musical des cinquante dernières années. Il est de ceux qui, tout au long de leur carrière, ont su se réinventer pour répondre aux attentes du public.
