Description:	The total work of art of Elvis and His Radical Impact on Western Culture. "Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon once claimed. Leonard Bernstein called Elvis "the greatest cultural force in the 20th century" - arguing that he transformed everything from music to language and fashion, ushering in a new social revolution. Heinrich Detering recounts the story of this American revolution: the emergence and evolution of Elvis Presley's art, its social, cultural, and political connections to an era that he himself helped reshape, and its enduring influence on the present day. This book opens up new perspectives on the life's work of an artist who remains as fascinating as ever, and on the social energies that find expression through him. With 55 pictures. Also released as kindle-edition. Source: Reclam.de
