Absolute Beginners

by Colin MacInnes - £8.99  Allison & Busby (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780749009984 | ISBN 10: 0749009985

London, 1958 - Soho, Notting Hill... a world of smoky jazz clubs, coffee bars, and hip hangouts in the center of London's emerging youth culture. The young and restless – the absolute beginners – were creating a world as different as they dared from the traditional image of England's green and pleasant land. Follow our young photographer as he records the moments of a young teenager's life in the capital – sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, the era of the first race riots and the lead up to the swinging sixties...
 
A twentieth century classic, Absolute Beginners remains the style bible for anyone interested in the Mod culture and paints a vivid picture of a changing society with insight and sensitivity.
