James Riordan

    10 ottobre 1936 – 10 febbraio 2012

    James Riordan è stato un romanziere inglese celebrato per i suoi romanzi per bambini e i suoi contributi accademici alla storia dello sport nell'Unione Sovietica. Il suo lavoro rivela un profondo coinvolgimento con la cultura russa e una grande passione per l'atletica. Riordan ha sapientemente fuso l'intuizione accademica con la narrazione accattivante, dando vita a opere apprezzate sia per la loro profondità di conoscenza che per le loro narrazioni coinvolgenti. Lascia un'eredità come importante interprete della storia dello sport e come talentuoso narratore per giovani lettori.

    • Thirty-five years after his death in Paris at age twenty-seven, Jim Morrison's iconic legend remains as powerful as ever, swathed in the mists of mystery. There have been numerous biographies about the self-proclaimed "Lizard King's" life and career. But none have examined his roots and childhood, the intellectual foundations of his music, his wild days with the Doors, and his enigmatic early death as completely and insightfully as Break On Through.More than simply a fascinating look at a rock legend whose cult following never stops growing, here is the definitive Morrison biography: his angry relationship with his father; the early tragedies and terrible events responsible for the darkness of his artistic vision; his private life and legal trials, including his infamous Miami obscenity bust; and the truth about his final hours. Based on extensive research and featuring dozens of rarely published photographs, this is the authoritative portrait of the poet, the grim visionary, the haunted man, and his haunting music.
