In November, he embarked on a two-month cruise across the Atlantic with five of his closest friends on the training ship Le Korrig. Brel devoted the final years of his life to his passion for sailing.

Jacques Brel

He began planning a three-year voyage to circumnavigate the world. In July, he set off on his world trip with Maddly Bamy and his daughter, France, aboard his new yacht. In August, while sailing around the Azores , he learned of the death of his old friend Jojo. He returned to France for his friend's funeral and stayed on to attend the September wedding of his daughter, Chantal.

In October, following medical tests in the Canary Islands , Brel learned that he had a small tumour on his left lung.

In November, he was rushed to a hospital in Brussels , where he underwent an operation. He was suffering from an advanced stage of lung cancer. Knowing his days were numbered, Brel issued a statement indicating that he wished to die alone in peace. In , Brel returned to Brussels twice for medical examinations. Against the advice of his doctors, he returned to the Marquesas, where the tropical climate was particularly unsuitable for his lungs. In July, he renewed his pilot's licence and took advanced flying lessons with his friend Michel Gauthier. He purchased a twin-engine plane, which he named Jojo in memory of his lost friend.

This enabled him to travel more easily from Hiva-Oa to Tahiti. He also used the private plane to transport food and other supplies to the inhabitants of the neighbouring islands. In , Brel decided to record one final album. Despite his recent years away from the continent, his legend lived on in Europe and his records still sold millions of copies each year.

In August, Brel returned to Paris and moved into a small hotel. In September and October, Brel recorded 12 of the 17 new songs he had written in the Marquesas. The new album was released on 17 November and was received as an historic national event in France. At Brel's request, Barclay did not run a huge promotional campaign for the album, and still, by word of mouth alone, over a million fans placed advance orders. The day the album was released, Jacques and Maddly returned to their home in the Marquesas Islands. In July, after his health began to fail, Brel was flown back to France and rushed to a hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine , where doctors discovered a cancerous tumour.

He remained in the hospital for six weeks and then spent the rest of the summer in Southern France. On 7 October, he was rushed to hospital Avicenne in Bobigny near Paris. He died of a pulmonary embolism at 4. On 12 October, his body was flown back to the Marquesas Islands , where he was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Atuona on the southern side of Hiva Oa island in the Marquesas , French Polynesia —a few yards away from the grave of artist Paul Gauguin.

In the Francophone world, Brel left an enduring influence on music and culture. Further afield his influence has been somewhat tempered by differences in language, though he has influenced many artists globally. International artists who have covered his songs include:.

The songs of Jacques Brel have been translated into at least 95 languages. Brel himself occasionally included parts of his songs in Dutch , one of the three official languages of Belgium, as in " Marieke ". English versions of Jacques Brel songs have been recorded by a wide variety of artists.

Rod McKuen was one of the first American artists to discover and translate Brel's songs. Canadian Terry Jacks ' version of " Seasons in the Sun " based on Brel's " Le Moribond " became a global pop hit in , topping the charts internationally. McKuen later wrote, "When news of Jacques' death came, I stayed locked in my bedroom and drank for a week. During the s, other English translations emerged on the folk music scene, including "The Dove" "La colombe" , an anti-war lament recorded both by Joan Baez and Judy Collins.

This was the only translation of a Brel song written by Alasdair Clayre , an Oxford-educated Englishman who had a brief career as a singer-songwriter before becoming an author, academic, and sometime producer of BBC documentaries. Consisting of 25 songs, the revue was performed by four vocalists, two males and two females.

Jacques Brel contributed most of the music and French lyrics. The production enjoyed considerable international success, and has since played throughout the world in various productions. This version was released as the B-side to "Sorrow" in , and was released as a bonus track on the reissue of Pin Ups.

Dave Van Ronk also recorded this song, earlier, on Van Ronk. Bowie also sang "My Death" during his Ziggy Stardust period. This popular concert piece was never recorded in the studio. It appears on two of David Bowie's live albums: A similar version of this song was also recorded by Show of Hands. Scott Walker's first three solo albums, titled Scott , Scott 2 , and Scott 3 , each contains three of the Blau—Shuman translations.

In all these novels Sollers's interest in Chinese civilization plays an important part. From the late s on, he studied Chinese and employed ideograms increasingly in his writings. He especially exemplifies this view in the subtitle of Lois , a Chinese ideogram representing both "France" and "Law. There is a musical quality to his writing even more striking than the references to the other arts. Vocalisation, or his preference for the spoken word, has always been a priority for Sollers. The combination of music, voice and theater is especially found in opera. The kind of opera associated with Sollers should properly be called opera bouffe because of its sense of humour and love of irony: In many ways Sollers is doing the work of the opera bouffe or drama giocoso in his novels since Women Since Lois , the writing is musical: The focus on the spoken language also draws Sollers toward James Joyce.

In January , Sollers gave a lecture to an international symposium on Joyce, claiming Finnegans Wake as "the most formidable anti-fascist book produced between the two wars". Since both were educated by Jesuits , Joyce and Sollers have strong ties to Catholicism. As Sollers indicated in Paradis , Joycean Christianity , like Sollers' Catholicism, involves both the comic and the pathetic.

The novel Paradis has a particular flavour because the narrator is similar to a troubadour singing the story of postmodern times. The self seems to disappear as word games, puns, neologisms and misspellings create a text that is hallucinatory and humorous in its juxtaposition of seemingly incongruous words and phrases. There are constant references to orchestras and symphonies, thus suggesting that there is an innate structure to what appears at first glance to be a chaotic text.

The text's life is much like the sexuality of the writer. There is a rhythm, very much like radar or sonar, according to which the text responds to its need to enjoy itself and also to reproduce itself. The physical drives and desires of the human body lead it toward variations of paradise. Over 17 hours of material. The only tool you will ever need to learn Italian!

Lyra's Oxford opens two years after the conclusion of Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass in the comfort and familiarity of Jordan College, where Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon, sit on the sun-drenched roof looking out over all of Oxford.

War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.

As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds.
