Music Sets You Free [Bok / Inbunden]

<strong>Landmark new 90th anniversary edition featuring a wealth of charming illustrations from Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, published in English for the first time.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong> <em>Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!</em> </strong> <br/><br/>Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar! <br/><br/>This landmark new edition of <em>The Hobbit</em> presents J.R.R. Tolkien's full text with illustrations by Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, from a rare Swedish-language edition never before published in English. Jansson's tender, whimsical drawings illuminate Bilbo's journey - from the comfort of Bag End to the riddled dark under the mountain - adding fresh enchantment and quiet humour to every page.

<b>An intimate, beautiful collection of more than two hundred never-before-collected photos of the Beatles at work and at play-many published for the first time-taken by their lead guitarist, George Harrison<br/> <br/>This extraordinary book features:<br/>- 200+ intimate images chronicling the Beatles' rise to world fame, captured by one of their own<br/>- Running commentary on the photos including never-before-seen quotes from Harrison himself<br/>- Essays by Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, and writers Colm T&oacute;ib&iacute;n and George Saunders</b><br/><br/>From 1963 to 1969, George Harrison traveled the world with his bandmates, Pentax in hand, chronicling their impossible path from Liverpool to Ed Sullivan, Adelaide to Rishikesh, the Eiffel Tower to the beaches of Tahiti and beyond.<br/><br/>In this extraordinary collection of George's personal photos and 8mm film stills-curated by Olivia Harrison, George's widow-are singular images of Paul, John, Ringo, and George and the band's friends and entourage as they rocketed to stardom and fostered the joyful madness that came to be known as Beatlemania. This revelatory, beautifully designed book takes the reader along on their first plane ride to the US, motorcades through the Australian outback, shopping trips in Paris, and more.<br/><br/>The candid, unguarded photos, brimming with Harrison's wit, intelligence and penchant for experimentation (he was enamored of selfies, long before the iPhone), and snapped in those rare moments out of the spotlight offer a remarkable, inside look at the human beings behind the Beatles, trying to hold onto themselves-and enjoy themselves-while standing at the center of the storm.<br/><br/><i>The Third Eye </i>opens a window into the world of the Beatles-and the transformative cultural moment that they sparked-through the singular artistic vision of George Harrison.
