« À la lumière ténue du plaisir traqué, je crains de ne jamais connaître mon chagrin. Je fais appel à toi avec un cri qui concentre le coeur. Quand pousserai-je un cri de gratitude ? Quand chanterai-je vers ta miséricorde ? ».
La fin des années 1970 est difficile pour Leonard Cohen. Deuil de sa mère, séparation d'avec la mère de ses enfants, approche de la cinquantaine. Il opère alors un retour au judaïsme et explore sa relation à l'Éternel. Regorgeant de louanges, de colère, de doute et de confiance, les psaumes contemporains de Book of Mercy (Livre de la Miséricorde) chantent la plainte humaine et passionnée d'un homme à son créateur et permettent à l'auteur de se sauver du désespoir. -

Avant sa mort, Leonard Cohen a passé de longs mois à reparcourir ses carnets, nombreux et étalés sur des décennies, pour opérer une sélection de poèmes, chansons, pages de journal intime et dessins, la plupart encore inédits. Un dernier geste créatif en forme de testament littéraire, empreint d'une mélancolie toujours teintée d'humour, où il est question d'amour et de sexualité, de peur de l'abandon, de flamme jamais éteinte, du temps qui passe et laisse ses traces, mais aussi de religion et d'aspiration à la sagesse.

Le narrateur est obsédé par le souvenir de sa femme Edith, suicidée dans une cage d'ascenseur, et tyrannisé par l'amant de cette dernière, le mystérieux et méphistophélique F. Le narrateur tente de conjurer ses obsessions par l'invocation, de plus en plus scabreuse au fil des pages, de la première sainte indienne du Canada, l'Iroquoise Catherine Tekakwitha, convertie par les Jésuites au XVII e siècle, si bien que le livre se déploie dans plusieurs directions - récit bourgeois d'un ménage à trois, biographie romancée d'une sainte historique, considérations hallucinées sur la drogue, Dieu, la culture pop, la guerre d'Espagne, les orgies et les Juifs, bref, l'univers de Cohen -, le cadre romanesque explosant à mesure, en poèmes, sketches, dialogues, prières.

Avant d'être compositeur ou chanteur, Leonard Cohen est un poète, universel, lumineux et sincère. Abondamment illustré par l'auteur lui-même, ce volume rassemble plus de deux cents poèmes d'humour, d'amour et de désir. En vers comme en prose, l'artiste dit, entre gravité et autodérision, la solitude, l'angoisse de la mort, l'envie d'absolu. Chaque mot est une question et chaque question est une quête, celle du bonheur et de l'harmonie.
Traduit de l'anglais par Jean-Dominique Brierre et Jacques Vassal. Édité sous la direction de Jean-Paul Liégeois.
La traduction en français a été revue par Leonard Cohen, dont c'est l'une des langues maternelles.

Previously unseen journals, letters, sketches and more from the vast personal archive of Leonard Cohen.
Leonard Cohen is renowned the world over for his meditations on beauty, death, loss and the human heart. The objects, papers and artifacts from Cohen's personal archive provide fresh insight into the artist's creative pursuits and the arc of his career over six decades. Aware from an early age that he was destined to make a mark on this world, Cohen preserved an expansive collection of letters, journals, manuscripts, sketches and records. Together, they provide a rich visual road map to his evolution as a poet and songwriter.
The first publication to present the holdings of the Leonard Cohen Family Trust, Everybody Knows: Inside His Archive immerses readers in the many facets of Cohen's creative life. Images of rare concert footage and archival materials, including musical instruments, notebooks, lyrics and letters, are featured alongside photographs, drawings and digital art created by Cohen across several decades.

Born and educated in Montreal, Cohen began his artistic career in 1956 with the publication of his first book of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies. Over his long and productive career, he published two novels, The Favourite Game (1963) and Beautiful Losers (1966), and numerous books of poetry, including Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs (1993). He recorded more than a dozen music albums, and numerous tribute albums have celebrated his songs in various languages. He died in Los Angeles in 2016 and was secretly buried in Montreal a few days later. -
« La très amoureuse et très innocente déambulation canadienne d'un jeune homme ébloui, ravi par quelques corps féminins. La splendeur de ces corps, leur singularité aussi, mêlée à la beauté des parcs, des étangs, de la ville, est décrite avec tendresse. Leur possession ne s'accompagne d'aucune passion triste ou violente. Mais à travers quelques images lumineuses et simples, brèves et rythmées comme une chanson, une pointe de tristesse apparaît. Que s'est-il donc passé ? L'intuition d'une impuissance à rester dans le vert paradis ? » Le Matricule des Anges Ce premier roman de Leonard Cohen, paru en 1963, peut apparaître comme la matrice de son oeuvre musicale et poétique ultérieure.

A BALLET OF LEPERS - A NOVEL AND STORIES
Léonard Cohen
- Canongate books

- 9781838852931
An unprecedented glimpse into the formation of the legendary talent of Leonard Cohen. Before the celebrated late-career world tours, before the Grammy awards, before the chart-topping albums, before ''Hallelujah'' and ''So Long, Marianne'' and ''Famous Blue Raincoat'', the young Leonard Cohen wrote poetry and fiction and yearned for literary stardom. In A Ballet of Lepers, readers will discover that the magic that animated Cohen''s unforgettable body of work was present from the very beginning. Written between 1956 in Montreal, just as Cohen was publishing his first poetry collection, and 1961, when he''d settled on Greece''s Hydra island, the pieces in this collection offer startling insight into Cohen''s imagination and creative process, and explore themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire to longing, whether for love, family, freedom or transcendence. The titular novel, A Ballet of Lepers - one he later remarked was ''probably a better novel'' than his celebrated book The Favourite Game - is a haunting examination of these elements, while the fifteen stories, as well as the playscript, probe the inner demons of his characters, many of whom could function as stand-ins for the author himself. Meditative, surprising, playful and provocative, A Ballet of Lepers is vivid in its detail, unsparing in its gaze, and reveals the great artist and visceral genius like never before.

Book of Longing is Leonard Cohen's first book of new poetry since Book of Mercy was published two decades ago. It collects Cohen's poetry written between the 1980s and the present, and also includes his wonderfully witty and sensuous illustrations, including numerous playful self-portraits. The illustrations interact with, and complement, the poetry in unexpected and fascinating ways. Book of Longing demonstrates the range and depth of Cohen's work, revealing an extraordinary gift of language and visual art that speak with rare clarity, passion and timelessness.

Encompassing the erotic and the melancholy, the mystical and the sardonic, this volume showcases a writer of dazzling intelligence and live-wire emotional immediacy.

The poems in Book of Mercy brim with praise, despair, anger, doubt and trust.

This warm and lyrical semi-autobiographical first novel by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen charts the coming of age of Lawrence Breavman, the only son of a Jewish Montreal family.
''Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the world is made flesh.'' Lawrence Breavman seeks two things: love and beauty. Beginning with the innocent games of delicious misadventure with first love Lisa and the absorbing wanders through Montreal with best friend Krantz, Breavman''s tale is a distant echo of ''Catcher in the Rye'' and ''Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man'' - injected with 1960s aesthetics and Cohen''s unique poetry. As Breavman grows into a young man, the emerging writer continues his quest for beauty and love, finding himself in the arms of Shell and a burgeoning realisation of his own talent for appreciating majesty in the grotesque.
Semi-autobiographical, the angst and beauty of Cohen''s voice deftly channel the painful confusion of the journey into adulthood, and the friendships, wars and lovers that are our guides. -

10 years ago, Welcome Books published the star of its Art & Poetry Series, Dance Me to the End of Love , a deliriously romantic song by Leonard Cohen that was brilliantly visualized through the sensual paintings of Henri Matisse. Now for its 10-year anniversary, Welcome is thrilled to present the entirely re-imagined and redesigned Dance Me to the End of Love. With the art of Matisse and the words of Cohen still at the heart of the book, the new look and feel of this Art & Poetry book is overwhelmingly beautiful. Cohen's song is a lyrical tribute to the miracle of love, the grace it bestows on us and its healing, restorative power. Originally recorded on his Various Positions album, and featured in Cohen's anthology, Stranger Music , this poetic song is gloriously married to the art works by Henri Matisse, perhaps the greatest artist of the twentieth century. "I had this dance within me for a long time," Matisse once said in describing one of his murals. Dance Me to the End of Love is the perfect book for art lovers, song lovers, and all other lovers as well.
