Sylvie Simmons - Leonard Cohen élete - I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen élete – I'm Your Man is a biography of the Canadian singer-songwriter and poet, written by rock historian Sylvie Simmons. The book follows the life of an artist whose songs and literary works shaped the twentieth century. It opens with a vivid picture of his childhood in Montreal's affluent Jewish quarter, where a chauffeur drove the young Leonard to school and his Russian mother sang melancholy Slavic songs.

Simmons traces how Cohen searched throughout his life for meaning, faith and inner peace. With remarkable attention to detail, she follows his journey through a world that often seemed indifferent, from smoky cafés to the finest concert halls and festivals.

This hardcover edition runs to 624 pages and comes with a protective dust jacket. It will appeal to readers interested in music history and in the person behind the songs.
