Formalism and Marxism

Tony Bennett

Russian Formalism and Marxist criticism had a seismic impact on twentieth-century literary theory and the shockwaves are still felt today. First published in 1979, Tony Bennett's Formalism and Marxism created its own reverberations by offering a ground-breaking new interpretation of the Formalists' achievements and demanding a new way forward in Marxist criticism.
Placing the work of key figures in context and addressing such issues as aesthetics, linguistics and the category of literature, form and function or literary evolution, Bennett argues that the Formalists' concerns provided the basis for a radically historical approach to the study of literature. Addressing such crucial questions as 'What is literature?' or 'How should it be studied and to what end?', Formalism and Marxism explores ideas which should be considered by any student or reader of literature and provides a particular challenge to those interested in Marxist criticism. Now with a new afterword, this classic text still offers the best available starting point for those new to the field, as well as representing a crucial intervention in twentieth-century literary theory.

The Good Life

Tony Bennett; Will Friedwald

He's that regular guy from Astoria, Queens, who left his heart in San Francisco. He's the postwar heartthrob who inspired hundreds of young girls to wear black outside St. Patrick's Cathedral on his wedding day. He's the darling of the MTV generation who made music history when, at the age of 68, he won the coveted Grammy Awardý for Album of the Year. He's the consummate artist known worldwide for his paintings. He's Tony Bennett, whose star shines brighter than ever as he enters his fifth decade of performing. Now, for the first time, this legend shares his amazing life story -- in a voice that's pure Tony Bennett: warm, resonant, and unforgettable. "Tony Bennett has not just bridged the generation gap, he has demolished it," praised The New York Times. Since his appearance with the Red Hot Chili Peppers of the 1993 MTV Video Awards, and the addition of his seminal video, "Steppin' Out," to the MTV playlist, Bennett has become the hottest -- and coolest -- pop-culture icon for today's younger listeners, while remaining beloved by their parents and grandparents. An astonishing four generations have experienced the Tony Bennett magic -- the mesmerizing spell of a singer in love with singing, who embraces his audience with a soulful serenity communicated by both the man and his music. Honored with countless awards, including eight Grammys, and with more than ninety albums to his credit (more than thirty million sold for the Columbia label alone), no other recording artist has attained Bennett's stature -- or garnered the half-century of memories shared in The Good Life. From Sinatra, Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, to k.d. lang and Elvis Costello, Bennett shares his unique takes on the most fascinating talents of our time. Here is the story of his lifelong love affair with art, music, and performing -- from his childhood in Depression-era Queens, where opera and Billie Holiday flowed freely; to his stint as a singing waiter; to soaking up the New York jazz scene in the 1940s. With crisp wit and firmly grounded emotion, Bennett captures the people and places that shaped his sublime performances. The dozens of hits he introduced to the great American songbook, including "Because of You," "Rags to Riches," "Cold, Cold Heart," and his signature song, "I Left My Heart in Son Francisco," remain a legacy of truth and beauty for the classic art of intimate singing. In this wonderfully revealing self-portrait, we get to know Tony Bennett as he really is: an unpretentious and thoughtful human being. His key to success is consistency: His constant dedication in his pursuit of excellence has never wavered, despite the trials and tribulations one can encounter when placing integrity above all else. Through all of his personal and artistic challenges, he has remained, in his own words, "a humanist" whose Zen-like philosophy of life is an inspiration for all ages. Like the fascinating story he shares in The Good Life, Tony Bennett is one of a kind, an American treasure, an enduring artist seasoned with experience and self-knowledge, and a true class act.

What My Heart Has Seen: Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett

One of America's most cherished entertainers, Tony Bennett is also a prolific visual artist. This beautiful book presents his best work in nearly every medium, from pencil sketches on hotel stationery to his beloved watercolors and oils, paired with photographs from his albums and his personal recollections of the people and places he has captured on canvas. Tony Bennett is known and loved as a singer and performer. He has sold over 30 million records worldwide during his 45 years as an entertainer. But this six-time Grammy winner is also a dedicated artist whose paintings have been exhibited in galleries around the world. He sets aside time each day to paint, whether on the road or at home in his studio. From Bennett's extensive travels comes a series of paintings featuring Central Park in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and more of his favorite sights throughout the world. Three gatefolds, modeled after Japanese scrolls, showcase the skylines of Manhattan, San Francisco, and Tokyo, illustrating their impressive sweep and scale. Portraits from his self-proclaimed "gallery of friends" range from fellow musicians Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra to family members and his adored dog, Boo. The formal art training of Anthony Dominic Benedetto - his full name, with which he signs his work - culminated in a degree from the prestigious High School for Industrial Art in New York City, before his first foray into the entertainment world. His lifelong dream to share his art with his many fans is fulfilled in What My Heart Has Seen.
