ONCE UPON A TIME: THE LIVES OF BOB DYLAN
Book ID/图书代码： 08430012B55608
English Summary/英文概要： Half a century ago a youth appeared from the American hinterland and began a cultural revolution. The world is still coming to terms with what he did. How he did it - and why - has never been fully explored.
In Once Upon a Time, award-winning writer Ian Bell draws together the tangled strands of the many lives of Bob Dylan in all their contradictory brilliance. For the first time, the laureate of modern America is set in his entire context: musical, historical, literary, political and personal.
Full of new insights into the legendary singer, his songs, his life and his era, the artist who invented himself in order to reinvent America is uncovered.
Once Upon a Time is a biographical study of a personality that has splintered and reformed, time after time, in a country forever struggling to understand itself. Dylan has become the puzzle that illuminates. Here, in the first part of a major two-volume work, the puzzle is explained.

半個世紀前一名從美國腹地出現的青年，開創一場文化革命。但世界還是接受了他的所作所為(激進行為)。他是怎樣做的，為什麼要這樣行事 — 這一切從來沒有被世人進行過充分探討。
在《Once Upon a Time》一書中，獲獎作家伊恩•貝爾綜合了糾纏于鮑勃•狄倫一生中，所有的矛盾和才華。第一次，這位現代美國詩人將他的整個生命融匯到：音樂、歷史、文學、政治和個人生命之中。
這部自傳是對這位充滿傳奇歌手，的歌曲、他的一生和他那個時代的全新見解，這是一位被世人所公認的，為了重塑美國而開拓自我的藝術家。
《Once Upon a Time》是探索人格分裂和自我革新的一部傳記，隨著時間的流逝，一個永遠在努力探索自我國度的一位元“非主流”音樂人。狄倫已成為富有啟發性的一個謎題。在這部傳記中，第一部分的主要兩個章節中，作者破解了這一謎題。(Sandy)

Reviews
’As its title hints, Once Upon a Time tells a familiar story. But Bell, a past winner of the Orwell Prize for political writing, tells it in an unfamiliar way – with a coruscating intelligence and historical sweep not often found in books about rock musicians. He writes beautifully, too, in rhythmic, at times incantatory, prose. In short, this is the best Dylan biography yet – an imagined reliving of an already imaginary life, and a book to sit alongside Ellmann on Wilde, Richardson on Picasso, Ackroyd on Dickens. Roll on volume two.’ Financial Times
’At its heart, Once Upon A Time is a literary biography, centred on a fictional character named “Bob Dylan”. ...Bell’s book, by unpeeling the masks, goes a long way to proving something that should be obvious, but isn’t always: Dylan’s most compelling fictions were songs.’ - Sunday
