Corría el mes de julio de 1967 y eran unos niños, pero a partir de entonces Patti Smith y Robert Mapplethorpe sellaron una amistad que solo acabaría con la muerte del gran fotógrafo, en 1989. De eso habla este espléndido libro de memorias, de la vida en común de estos artistas, los dos entusiastas y apasionados, que cruzaron a grandes pasos la periferia de Nueva York para llegar hasta el centro neurálgico del nuevo arte.

How does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? In this groundbreaking book, one of our culture's beloved artists offers a detailed account of her own creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections.

She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her story.

You will laugh and cry when you listen to how Patti Smith lovingly and honestly reveals transformative lessons gleaned from forty-plus years of caring for (and being tutored by) her son, Christopher. His diagnosis as a baby with Down Syndrome at first tilted her world off-axis, only to reveal itself to be the thing that actually set her worldview at the exact right angle.

Patti Smith führt uns in das New York der frühen Siebzigerjahre, in eine Ära, die für sie vor allem von der tiefen Freundschaft zu einem Menschen geprägt wird: dem später zu Weltruhm gelangten Fotografen Robert Mapplethorpe. "Just Kids" erzählt die bewegende Geschichte zweier Seelenverwandter, die für und durch die Kunst leben, und entwirft zugleich ein betörendes Bild einer revolutionären Epoche. Als Patti Smith und Robert Mapplethorpe sich im Sommer 1967 in New York kennen lernen, sind sie beide 23 und ohne einen Pfennig in der Tasche auf der Suche nach einem freien Leben als Künstler.

La sacerdotessa del rock ripercorre i sentieri che dall'infanzia a Chicago la portano a New York dove incontra Robert Mapplethorpe, fotografo estremo che con lei intreccia un cammino di arte, di devozione e di iniziazione. Insieme scoprono che rock, politica e sesso sono gli ingredienti essenziali della rivoluzione a venire. Il vero collante tra Patti e Robert è l'amicizia. Un'amicizia rara, pura, preziosa. Un patto esplicito di reciproco sostegno, fondato sulla condivisione di sogni, di visioni, di idee. Di arte.

Les jeunes Patti Smith et Robert Mapplethorpe se rencontrent par hasard à New York à la fin des années 1960. "Just Kids", roman d'initiation bohème, retrace les débuts de ces enfants terribles, jusqu'au moment où la chanteuse enregistre son premier album, "Horses", et voit décoller sa carrière. Cette épopée mythique, histoire d'amour et d'amitié, qui s'ouvre et s'achève avec la mort du photographe, immortalise les instants incandescents d'une période décisive dans ces deux vies d'artistes et dans l'histoire de la musique américaine.

Volum de amintiri atipic, Trenul M este, în esenţă, o poveste despre curgerea vieţii, relatată de o legendă a muzicii punk rock americane. Fie că vorbeşte despre rutina ei newyorkeză sau despre legăturile cu artişti precum William Burroughs sau Paul Bowles, Patti Smith rememorează pentru a înțelege, în acordurile unei melancolii temperate, ale unui umor subtil.

Tot ce contine aceasta carte este adevarul adevarat, redat intocmai. Scrierea ei m-a scos din starea aceea ciudata de apatie si sper ca il va umple cumva si pe cititor de o anume bucurie nelamurita si neasteptata.
