SEVENTIES:
The Sights, Sounds and Ideas of a Brilliant Decade
'Sounes' book is a thoroughly enjoyable read.' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday
Times
Introduction
Seventies is a sweeping history of the arts in the 1970s. Over
the course of 28 chronological and interlinked chapters, author Howard
Sounes sets out to show that the maligned 'decade that taste forgot'
gave us literature, films, music, television, art and architecture
of enormous significance, work that was exciting in its day, and still
enriches the world.
Sounes focuses on some of the outstanding creative artists of the 1970s -
including David Bowie, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Richard Rogers,
Francis Ford Coppola,
the Sex Pistols and David Hockney -
telling their personal stories and how they came to make their iconic
work.
Seventies: The Sights, Sounds and Ideas of a Brilliant Decade was
first published in hardback in the UK by Simon & Schuster in summer 2006 (ISBN: 0-7432-6859-8). It will be published in paperback in the UK in 2007, and is being translated into Italian for publication by Laterza Editore.
