J.M.Barrie and the Lost Boys

Constable

J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, led a life almost as magical and interesting as as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Llewelyn Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and devoted surrogate father when they were orphaned. Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie’s life and the wonderful world he created for the boys. Originally published in 1979, this enchanting and richly illustrated account is reissued with a new preface to mark the release of Neverland, the film of Barrie’s life, and the upcoming centenary of Peter Pan. “A psychological thriller . . . one of the year’s most complex and absorbing biographies.”—Gerald Clarke, Time “A terrible and fascinating story.”—Eve Auchincloss, Washington Post

Andrew Birkin s'est passionné très tôt pour la photographie, documentant d'abord la vie de sa petite soeur Jane (ils ont un an d'écart), puis celle de son couple avec Serge Gainsbourg, dont il fut l'intime jusqu'à leur séparation en 1980, date à laquelle il abandonne son appareil photo pour la caméra. Il constitua ainsi un album de famille unique en son genre, donnant un point de vue inédit sur la vie de ce couple mythique et de leurs enfants Kate et Charlotte. Dans cet ouvrage il dévoile plus de 900 images soigneusement choisies et pour la plupart inédites... où l'on croise également, au détour de ses nombreuses vies de scénariste, réalisateur et écrivain, Stanley Kubrick dont il fut l'assistant sur 2001, l'odyssée de l'espace ou encore les Beatles avec qui il travailla pour leur premier film.

Serge Gainsbourg et Jane Birkin: L'album de famille intime

ALBIN MICHEL

The highly public love affair of French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg and British actress Jane Birkin captured the hearts and imaginations of a generation. The moment Jane and Serge met on a movie set in 1968 sparks flew. They would spend the next 12 years together, a passionate union that produced the controversial duet “Je t’aime... moi non plus” (whose explicit lyrics and orgasmic moans caused so much fuss that the Vatican declared it offensive) and, in 1971, the legendary album Melody Nelson as well as a daughter, Charlotte, who has become a successful actress in her own right.
From the earliest days of Jane and Serge’s romance until their split in 1980, Jane’s brother Andrew Birkin was a frequent presence in their lives; an avid photographer, he snapped thousands of candid family photos during those years. Birkin’s pictures―very few of which have ever been published―offer a rare view of daily life for the couple, bringing us back to a place and time we have long idolized. Though more than 30 years have passed since the two parted ways, and over two decades since Serge parted from this world, the passion for Jane and Serge has endured. This treasure trove is sure to fan the flames of its undying embers.Designed by M/M (Paris), the photo album comes in a clear plastic cover with the following goodies tucked inside:
Text booklet featuring an introduction by Jane Birkin and Andrew Birkin’s memoir of Jane and Serge, illustrated by Birkin family childhood photos
Softcover contact sheet booklet
Fold-out poster
5 photo prints
