A lavishly illustrated book of the life of John Lennon,one of the cultural legends of the 20th century.issued as a companion to the film of the same name.
Through two decades of tumultuous change, John Lennon spoke for a generation.Through his early Beatles songs, sixties anthems and ballads of the seventies both energized the explosive counterculture, and reinvoked the elementals - the meaning of love,the dream of world peace - respectively.Through all the passions and experiments of his time,he was a touchstone.
But this book is more than a tribute to John Lennon's art,his timeless legacy.It is a uniquely intimate glimpse of the man who became a legend.
It emerged from a dazzling proposal Yoko Ono made to David L. Wolper.She offered to open Lennon's personal archives - a treasury of rare film footage,photographs,and writings - to create his definitive film biography.Andrew Solt,with Sam Egan,sifted through the material - two boxcars full,much of it never seen before - and approached Lennon's family and friends for new interviews.What they achieved in the Warner Bros. film 'Imagine: John Lennon' is an astonishing,evocative portrait - the closest thing we will ever have to Lennon's autobiography.
The book is the exclusive tie-in to the film,the poignant story of the tough Liverpool kid who conquered the world with his music.It traces Lennon's life from his eccentric childhood through his musical awakening,scrabbling in rough-and-tumble clubs of Hamburg and Liverpool.It evokes the magic of beatlemania,which nonetheless thrust the young rocker before an unrelenting public.It charts the great loves of Lennon's life - Cynthia,his first wife; his sons,Sean and Julian; and Yoko Ono,his last collaborator - and his great passions,especially his work for peace.
Lennon's life unfolds in more than 250 photographs, two thirds in colour and duotone, many never before published.There are spectacular shots from the foremost rock photographers,including Annie Leibovitz, Ethan Russell, Allan Tannenbaum, Robert Freeman, Jim Marshall, Bob Gruen,and Ken Regan.But some of the most compelling images come from the private files of his intimates, especially Cynthia Lennon and Yoko Ono.which reveal him asa lover,a father,and,simply,a man.
The text is drawn from the film of the book's script and features excerpts from new interviews with those closest to Lennon,including Cynthia,Yoko,Sean,and Julian.A highlight is the interview with his aunt Mimi,who raised him and who has resisted talking to the press.The chief narrator of the book,however,is Lennon himself,descibing his life and times with his famous candour and acerbic wit.
This is the most lavish book ever produced on Lennon,a face-to-face encounter with one of our most beloved cultural heroes.
