"John Lennon spoke to us all. His early Beatles songs charged the world with the new exuberance of "youth power." His sixties anthems helped inspire the visionary counterculture. In the seventies his ballads reinvoked the elementals - the meaning of love, the dream of world peace.Through all the passions and experiments of his time he was the touchstone for a generation. Imagine: John Lennon is a tribute to Lennon's art, his timeless legacy. But it is more: It is a uniquely intimate glimpse of the man who became a legend. It emerged from a dazzling proposal that Yoko Ono made 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 interviewed Lennon's family and friends. What they achieved in the Warner Bros. film is an astonishing, evocative portrait, the closest thing we will ever have to Lennon's autobiography. This book is the exclusive companion 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 unusual childhood through his musical awakening; from scrabbling in the clubs of Hamburg and Liverpool to Beatlemania; and from the peak of commercial success to fulfillment as an artist and as a man. It charts the great loves of Lennon's life - Cynthia, his first wife; Julian and Sean, his sons; Yoko Ono, his last collaborator - as well as his great passions, especially his work for peace. Lennon's life unfolds in photographs - more than 250, many never before published. He is portrayed in spectacular shots from the world's foremost rock photographers, including Annie Leibovitz, Ethan Russell, Allan Tannenbaum, Robert Freeman, Jim Marshall, Bob Gruen, and Ken Regan. Some of the most compelling images come from Yoko Ono and reveal Lennon the private man: lover, father, humnan being. The text, drawn from the film's script, features new reflections from Lennon's friends, his wives and sons, and Mimi Smith, the aunt who raised him. The chief narrator of the book, however, is Lennon himself, describing his life and times with his famous candor 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." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…
