Book Description
Publication Date: 17 Oct 2009
The #1 New York Times bestseller! Michael Jackson’s one and only autobiography – his life, in his words.
With original Foreword by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a new Introduction by Motown founder Berry Gordy, and an Afterword by Michael Jackson’s editor and publisher, Shaye Areheart.
“I’ve always wanted to be able to tell stories, you know, stories that came from my soul. I’d like to sit by a fire and tell people stories – make them see pictures, make them cry and laugh, take them anywhere emotionally with something as deceptively simple as words. I’d like to tell tales to move their souls and transform them. I’ve always wanted to be able to do that. Imagine how the great writers must feel, knowing they have that power. I sometimes feel I could do it. It’s something I’d like to develop. In a way, songwriting uses the same skills, creates the emotional highs and lows, but the story is a sketch. It’s quicksilver. There are very few books written on the art of storytelling, how to grip listeners, how to get a group of people together and amuse them. No costumes, no makeup, no nothing, just you and your voice, and your powerful ability to take them anywhere, to transform their lives, if only for minutes.” –Michael Jackson, in Moonwalk
From the 1988 edition:
Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely private lifestyle have become a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. His double-platinum singles rocket to the top of the music charts with a velocity equaled only by the inevitable accompaniment of wild rumors about his eccentric personal life. Now for the first time, Michael Jackson breaks the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that has surrounded him in a remarkably candid and courageous book — Moonwalk.
In this intimate and often moving personal account of Michael Jackson’s public and private life, he recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. Michael and his brothers played amateur music shows and seamy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars. Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 have combined sales of over 200 million albums. He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and of his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that has made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Thriller as the biggest-selling-album of all time.
In Moonwalk, Michael Jackson shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends…friends like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it.
Illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a modern musical genius.
這本書的裝幀設計簡直是藝術品!拿到手的時候,那種沉甸甸的質感和封麵燙金工藝立刻抓住瞭我的眼球。我特意選瞭英文原版,就是為瞭能原汁原味地感受那種文字的力量和作者的筆觸。雖然我還沒有完全讀完,但僅僅是翻閱目錄和前言部分,就能體會到齣版方在細節上的用心。紙張的觸感非常細膩,印刷清晰度極高,這對於閱讀體驗來說太重要瞭。我特彆喜歡那種書頁散發齣來的淡淡油墨香,這比電子書的冰冷屏幕要舒服得多。這絕對是一本值得放在書架上細細品味的藏品,不僅僅是內容本身,光是作為一件實體書的工藝水準,就已經值迴票價瞭。我甚至有點捨不得太快地翻動它,生怕破壞瞭它嶄新的完美狀態。那種觸手可及的厚重感,是數字時代裏難得的珍貴體驗,讓人感覺自己真正擁有瞭一段可以觸摸的曆史。
評分這本書的語言風格非常具有感染力,即便是帶著對曆史背景的瞭解去閱讀,依然能感受到那種撲麵而來的時代氣息。英文原版的魅力就在於那些精準的詞匯選擇和地道的錶達方式,它們比任何翻譯版本都能更直接地擊中讀者的內心深處。我發現有些段落的句式結構非常精妙,讀起來朗朗上口,充滿瞭音樂性,這或許是作者在無意中流露齣的某種天賦的體現。每一次閱讀都像是在品嘗一杯濃鬱的咖啡,初嘗苦澀,迴味無窮。它成功地在保持學術般的嚴謹性和文學般的流暢性之間找到瞭一個完美的平衡點,讓一個對曆史不太敏感的讀者也能輕鬆進入,並被其中的細節所吸引。
評分這本書的結構安排堪稱教科書級彆,每一部分的主題過渡都銜接得天衣無縫,仿佛在進行一場精心編排的交響樂演奏。我特彆欣賞作者在處理時間綫時所采用的非綫性敘事手法,它成功地避免瞭傳統傳記的平鋪直敘,而是通過不同時間點的穿插對比,凸顯瞭人物性格和命運的某種內在矛盾與統一。這種處理方式讓信息密度大大增加,讀者需要更高的專注度去跟進,但也因此獲得瞭更豐富的閱讀迴報。每當一個章節結束,我總有一種意猶未盡的感覺,迫不及待想知道作者將如何展開下一個篇章的敘述布局。它真的不是一本可以“隨便翻翻”的書,它要求你投入全部的注意力,而這份投入最終得到瞭豐厚的迴報。
評分作為一位長期關注文化現象的觀察者,我一直好奇那些站在時代頂端的人是如何應對隨之而來的巨大壓力和公眾審視的。這本書在這方麵提供瞭極其豐富的細節和視角。它不僅僅是記錄瞭一個人的成長史,更像是一部關於“名望的代價”的社會學研究。作者並沒有刻意去“美化”或“醜化”主人公,而是試圖展現一個更復雜、更立體的形象。讀著讀著,我開始反思我們作為觀眾,在追逐光環的同時,是否也無形中參與瞭構建那些“神話”和“陷阱”。這種閱讀體驗帶來的認知衝擊是巨大的,它迫使我跳齣原有的框架,用一種更批判性的眼光去看待娛樂工業和名人文化。文字的重量感在於它能引發讀者自我對話,這本書無疑做到瞭這一點。
評分這本書的敘事節奏把握得極其到位,像是一部精心剪輯的紀錄片,層層遞進,毫不拖遝。作者似乎非常懂得如何平衡宏大敘事與個體情感的展現。我發現自己幾乎是沉浸在作者構建的那個世界裏,每一個轉摺點都讓人心跳加速。它不是那種流水賬式的自傳,而是充滿瞭洞察力和深刻的反思。作者在處理那些敏感或者爭議性的話題時,展現齣瞭驚人的平衡感和專業性,沒有過度煽情,卻能讓人自然而然地産生共鳴和思考。我尤其欣賞那種穿插其中的幽默感,它巧妙地緩和瞭某些沉重的主題,讓整個閱讀過程充滿張力又不至於過於壓抑。讀到某個章節時,我甚至能想象齣作者在記錄那些場景時的那種激動與剋製,這種微妙的情緒被成功地傳遞給瞭讀者。
