The definitive biography of one of the most emigmatic, beloved, and celebrated artists of our time.
Leonard Cohen's extensive and successful recent worldwide tour has demonstrated that his popularity across generations and borders has never been greater. Cohen's life is one of singular mystique. This major in-depth biography is the book Cohen's fans have been waiting for. Acclaimed writer/journalist Sylvie Simmons has interviewed more than 100 figures from Cohen's life and work, including his main muses; the women in his life -- from Suzanne and Marianne to Rebecca de Mornay and Anjani Thomas; artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Nick Cave, David Crosby, Judy Collins, and Philip Glass; his record producers; his closest friends, from childhood to adulthood; and many of the spiritual figures who have influenced his life.
Cohen, notoriously private, has granted interviews himself. Thoroughly researched and thoughtful, penetrating and lively, fascinating and revealing of stories and facts never read before, I'm Your Man offers new perspectives on Cohen and his life. It will be one of the most talked-about books of the season, and for years to come.
2008年,在大不列颠规模最大、最受欢迎的摇滚音乐节上,面对着漫山遍野10万人潮,当落日余晖洒向大地,74岁的莱昂纳德唱起来了《哈利路亚》(Hallelujah)。 “人们的魂儿出窍了。”许多年轻人一边跟着大合唱一边疑惑,“这个酷老头儿怎么想到唱杰夫·巴克利的歌?怎么想到唱这...
評分大半生的辛苦奔忙,创作时的苦思冥想,嗑药后的飘飘欲仙和坠入深渊时的痛苦挣扎,以及所有那些让他心花怒放,让他大动肝火,让他坠入爱河,让他拂袖而走,却从未真正离他而去的女人,一起成就了今天的他。如今,年届八旬的他,依然庄严优雅,依然锋利如刃,依然就在这儿。这位...

評分15年幸得原版,斷斷續續當作床頭讀物看完瞭。 情感、體驗和藝術品從來不會源自隔岸觀火,也沒有所謂的感同身受; 世人罕有如此:以嚴肅的態度甘心投身桎梏、迷惘、欲求、毒藥等實打實的精神波動之中, 且在半生以後與所有矛盾和解。 這還僅僅是LC作為詩人的牛逼。
评分真想給老頭搞一塊當代拜倫的匾掛上。拜倫往希臘去,科恩往古巴、波蘭和以色列去,而立傳者由此提到瞭他英雄主義裏夾雜的逃避和幻想:這些特質在詩人身上卻隻顯得更迷人瞭。
评分如果你覺得你嚮往天空,思考宗教、醜惡、性或者財富,卻一直被現實拉著雙腳不放——去感受一下老爺子的生活。
