MICHAEL JACKSON-BLACK OR WHITE
Book ID/图书代码： 00770009B30512
English Summary/英文概要： This new biography tells the story of Michael Jackson’s tragic and fascinating life from the first day to his last. The book had just been completed when news came through, on June 25th 2009, of Michael’s untimely death. The printing of the book was halted at the last minute in order to add a new chapter about this sad end to a brilliant and yet almost inconceivably difficult life. “Black Or White” chronicles the life of Michael Jackson in two parallel and separate narrative strands. Positive events are described in one, the negative developments which invariably accompanied the positive, in the other. The book attempts to place Jackson’s life and career in a wider social, historical and political context. In an even-handed and non-sensationalist tone, the book is a serious and yet highly readable attempt to find the “real” Michael Jackson amongst the plethora of myths, rumours and lies that circulate about him.
Swiss-born Hanspeter Künzler arrived in London just as “Off the Wall” marked the arrival of Michael Jackson as a mature artist. Working in a secondary school in Wembley at that time, he was able at first hand to experience the galvanising and unifying effect Michael’s music had on the students of a modern, multi-racial and urban school. Since the mid-eighties, Künzler has written extensively about music in particular and the arts in general for a wide range of publications in Germany and Switzerland. He appears frequently on national Swiss radio. For many years he wrote, produced and presented a music show for the German wing of the BBC World Service. Today, he lives in London and Zurich with his wife, a children’s book author, and two children.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书讲述了天王巨星Michael Jackson一生传奇多舛的命运经历。2009年6月25日，Michael死亡的噩耗传来时，作者就已经著成此书。本书推迟到现在才发行，那是因为作者想要将Michael的人生最后一章附于其中，使巨星华丽而艰巨的一生看上去更加完整。 本书通过两条主线讲述Michael的传奇人生，一条是消极的，而另一条是积极的。本书尝试着将Jackson的人生置于更为宽阔的社会、历史和政治广角中。作者以主观冷静的笔调透过种种神秘、绯闻和谎言为我们展示真实的Jackson.(YM)
