Book ID/图书代码： 00078014B69198
English Summary/英文概要： Bob Dylan went from being "voice of a generation" to rock and roll icon.
Bob Dylan transcends music. He has established himself as one of the most important figures in entertainment history. This biography examines the life and work of the iconic artist, including his groundbreaking achievements of the last two decades.
In this thematically organized biography, cultural historian and prolific biographer Bob Batchelor examines one of the most important yet elusive figures in modern history. Rather than taking an exhaustive and cumbersome chronological approach to Bob Dylan’s 50-plus year career, the author focuses on the most significant aspects of his life and accomplishments.
This work examines the musician’s life and career by placing him in the context of contemporary American history and culture. Dylan’s music and lyrics are at the center of the analysis, while attention is also paid to how his image transformed as he moved from being the "voice of a generation" during the 1960s to becoming a bonafide rock and roll icon. Readers will appreciate the book for its in-depth, scholarly coverage that remains readable and engaging, and gain a full appreciation for Dylan’s place in American history and cultural evolution.
