The fascinating story behind the making of Bruce Springsteen’s most surprising album, Nebraska, revealing its pivotal role in Springsteen’s career—in development as a major motion picture starring Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) “Brilliant . . . For fans of American music, Deliver Me from Nowhere makes a great ghost story.”—The Boston GlobeAN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEARWithout Nebraska, Bruce Springsteen might not be who he is today. The natural follow-up to Springsteen’s hugely successful album The River should have been the hit-packed Born in the U.S.A. But instead, in 1982, he came out with an album consisting of a series of dark songs he had recorded by himself, for himself. But more than forty years later, Nebraska is arguably Springsteen’s most important record—the lasting clue to understanding not just his career as an artist and the vision behind it, but also the man himself. Nebraska is rough and unfinished, recorded on cassette tape with a simple four-track recorder by Springsteen, alone in his bedroom, just as the digital future was announcing itself. And yet Springsteen now considers it his best album. Nebraska expressed a turmoil that was reflective of the mood of the country, but it was also a symptom of trouble in the artist’s life, the beginnings of a mental breakdown that Springsteen would only talk about openly decades after the album’s release. Warren Zanes spoke to many people involved with making Nebraska, including Bruce Springsteen himself. He also interviewed more than a dozen celebrated artists and musical insiders, from Rosanne Cash to Steven Van Zandt, about their reactions to the album. Zanes interweaves these conversations with inquiries into the myriad cultural touchpoints, including Terrence Malick’s Badlands and the short stories of Flannery O’Conner, that influenced Springsteen as he was writing the album’s haunting songs. The result is a textured and revelatory account of not only a crucial moment in the career of an icon but also a record that upended all expectations and predicted a home-recording revolution.

Robert Doisneau hatte einen besonderen Sinn für die einfachen Freuden des Lebens sowie für die Sorgen und Nöte der Menschen. Er zählt fraglos zu den berühmtesten Vertretern der Photographie humaniste, einer dem Menschen zugewandten Fotografie, die ihre große Zeit in den 1950er-Jahren hatte. Vor allem für seine beseelten Bilder von Paris geliebt, besaß der Fotograf die besondere Gabe, charismatische Charaktere, unterhaltsame Vorkommnisse und kurze Momente des Humors und der Zuneigung mit der Kamera einzufangen. In alltäglichen Begebenheiten machte er Emotionen sichtbar, die das menschliche Leben ausmachen. Neben seinen berühmten Hauptwerken aus Paris finden sich in dieser Retrospektive seines spektakulären OEuvres auch viele weniger bekannte Aufnahmen. Sie zeigen "ganz normale Handlungen ganz normaler Menschen in ganz normalen Situationen". Durch die zahlreichen Zitate, die den Bildteil begleiten, entsteht ein Dialog zwischen den Bildern, dem Leser und dem Fotografen - ein Dialog, der von Doisneaus Sensibilität zeugt, von seinem Humor und der Empathie für die Welt, in der er sich bewegte. Die Abbildungen nehmen uns mit auf eine Reise zu den tristen Vorstädten von Doisneaus Jugend, in die Welt der Arbeiter, die er liebte und die für ihn eine ganz eigene Würde hatten, und in die Ateliers vieler bahnbrechender Künstler seiner Zeit, die er in nachdenklichen und kreativen Momenten einfing. Hinzu kommen einige seiner weit weniger bekannten Farbaufnahmen, die uns in die Banlieue von heute führen und in denen uns ein ganz anderer, kritischerer Robert Doisneau begegnet. Für diese Monografie über das Leben und Werk von Robert Doisneau konnte sein langjähriger Freund, TASCHEN-Autor Jean Claude Gautrand, auf Doisneaus umfangreiches Bildarchiv zurückgreifen. Das Vorwort stammt von Doisneaus Töchtern Francine Deroudille und Annette Doisneau.
