Description: Elvis Presley occupied, before and after his passing, a special place in the Olympus of 20th-century greats, transcending simple musical boundaries to enter the collective imagination and, inevitably, remain there. Revolutionary, scandalous, irreverent, overwhelmed by success before and excess after, a victim of himself and his own legend, even today his figure –as a singer, actor, artist and celebrity- remains an icon of pop culture, not only American but global. Increased and updated, between unpublished curiosities and in-depth behind-the-scenes stories, up to the most recent events, Paolo Borgognone's book retraces the climb towards the pinnacle of the King of rock 'n' roll, descending amidst the torments and fears of a man, Elvis Aaron Presley,son of a contradictory and at the same time exciting era, capable of being a bridge between distant worlds and shaping music in his own image and likeness. As only a King could do. This is an updated edition of the editions released in 2022 and 2023. English title: I, Elvis - The Immortal Parable of "The King".
