John Michael Cohen Knihy

    John Michael Cohen bol plodným prekladateľom európskej literatúry do angličtiny. Svoju prekladateľskú kariéru začal prvým anglickým prekladom básní Borisa Pasternaka, ktorý bol vtedy mimo Sovietskeho zväzu neznámy. Jeho preklad Pasternaka získal pochvalu od amerického básnika Johna Ashberyho. Cohen zohral kľúčovú úlohu v latinskoamerickom boomu 60. rokov prekladmi diel významných autorov a sprístupňovaním ich diel anglicky hovoriacim čitateľom. Okrem prekladov a redakčnej práce sa venoval aj literárnej kritike a biografii.

      John Cohen’s portraiture of two titans of American music at opposite ends of their careers John Cohen was a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers, one of the American folk revival's most authentic and respected musical groups. In the 1960s he made a series of photographs of the last years of Woody Guthrie's life, and early portraits of Bob Dylan on his arrival in New York, depicting two titans of American music at opposite ends of their careers. In the process, Cohen portrayed one of the great moments of American folk music history. The book contains other images from the 1960s, including the music scenes at Washington Square and on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, images of Jerry Garcia and the musicians in San Francisco's Family Dog, as well as the psychedelic Sky River Rock festival. In 1970, Dylan requested Cohen make another set of color photographs of him with a camera that could take photographs from a block away. He was portrayed walking unrecognized on the streets of the city and at a farm in upstate New York. The photographs were used in Dylan's album Self Portrait.
