Pink Floyd: The history, success and legend of Pink Floyd

By MARK TOWER

Pink Floyd is a narrative journey through the artistic, cultural and emotional evolution of one of the most influential bands in music history. From its psychedelic origins in Syd Barrett's Cambridge to its acoustic experiments in London's underground clubs, the book follows the band's transformation with passion and rigor: Barrett's brilliant fragility, the arrival of David Gilmour, the conceptual turn led by Roger Waters, and the internal tensions that culminated in 1970s masterpieces such as The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall.

Through historical reconstructions, authentic anecdotes, and analysis of major albums, the volume explores the band's recurring themes-alienation, time, power, memory-and also chronicles the post-Waters era, with the Gilmour-led revival and the final tribute to Richard Wright in The Endless River. Ample space is devoted to the group's visual impact, Storm Thorgerson's iconic covers, and the legacy left behind in pop culture, from music to film, from merchandising to fans' digital lives.

A work designed for fans and newcomers alike, it restores to Pink Floyd their profound dimension: not just a band, but a sonic and visual experience capable of recounting the restlessness of the human soul and the beauty of imagination.
