Człowiek ten nie tylko zmienił obraz muzyki popularnej, ale także prezentował wartości i postawy, z którymi utożsamiało się całe pokolenie. Nawet dzisiaj, ponad trzydzieści lat po jego tragicznej śmierci, wciąż jest wzorem dla milionów.JOHN LENNON – Życie i legenda – to album nie tylko DLA FANÓWAutor daje nam sugestywny obraz życia muzyka, który inspirował swoje pokolenie. Książka zawiera nigdy wcześniej niepublikowane wywiady z najbliższymi Johna. Setki wspaniałych, kolorowych zdjęć czynią ją niezwykle atrakcyjną dla fanów. Wspaniałe portrety, zdjęcia z dzieciństwa oraz z koncertów oddają w pełni poczucie humoru, dowcip Johna i miotające nim sprzeczności. Zainteresowania muzyczne i pisarskie Johna pomogły mu przetrwać niespokojne dzieciństwo i młodość. Od 1969 roku do śmierci w 1980 roku John przeżywał okres artystycznego samopoznania i rozwoju, dzięki któremu powstała wspaniała muzyka. Po pięciu latach wyciszenia – pełen nowej muzyki – z entuzjazmem planował swoją przyszłość. To, co zdarzyło się 8 grudnia 1980 roku jest wszystkim znane. Ale nawet smutek po stracie Johna nie jest w stanie przyćmić radości obcowania z jego muzyką. Muzyczny geniusz XX wieku wciąż żyje w sercach swoich fanów!

In 2016 it was announced that Bob Dylan had sold his personal archive to the George Kaiser Foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, reportedly for $22 million. As the boxes started to arrive, the Foundation asked Clinton Heylin - author of the acclaimed Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades and 'perhaps the world's authority on all things Dylan' (Rolling Stone) - to assess the material they had been given. What he found in Tulsa - as well as what he gleaned from other papers he had recently been given access to by Sony and the Dylan office - so changed his understanding of the artist, especially of his creative process, that he became convinced that a whole new biography was needed. It turns out that much of what previous biographers - Dylan himself included - have said is wrong; often as not, a case of, Print the Legend.
This is the second instalment of the definitive biography (following A Restless Hungry Feeling) of one contemporary culture's most iconic and mysterious figures - musical revolutionary, Nobel Prize-winner, chart-topping recording artist.
Clinton Heylin's meticulously researched, all-encompassing and consistently revelatory account of these fascinating early years is the closest we will ever get to a definitive life of an artist who has been the lodestar of popular culture for six decades.
