Description
Musician and singer Leonard Cohen, one of the most influential artists of the past fifty years, was a man who radiated both emotion and intelligence. This is also why he was able to tackle fundamental human themes in his songs — love, sex, faith, and power — in such an extraordinary way. Cohen was undoubtedly a complex personality with evident contradictions: a deeply religious Jew, a sophisticated man and a ladies' man, as well as a devoted Buddhist monk. This book is a comprehensive biography starting in Montreal, Cohen's birthplace, taking him to London, the Greek island of Hydra, and New York in the sixties, where the artist began his music career. We follow his rise to the top of the music industry, his retreat into obscurity in the mid-nineties, and accompany him on his worldwide tour fifteen years later. In the biography of Leonard Cohen, we find a balanced view of the contradictory aspects of the artist's life and a deeply insightful portrait of a talented and soulful man who still knows how to move people like no one else.
