内容説明
From the editors who have previously brought forth bestselling illustrated biographies on the Beatles as a group and John Lennon in particular, now comes Remembering George Harrison: 10 Years Later.
He was the quiet Beatle only in that he was standing alongside two louder-than-life characters and in front of a guy playing drums. He held many strong opinions-on Beatlemania, on global want, on his right to privacy, on his God-and gave firm voice to most of them. But George Harrison was certainly the most reluctant Beatle, wanting out almost as soon as he was in. He often said that his luckiest break was joining the band and his second luckiest was leaving it. The standard line is that George Harrison was an enigma, but perhaps he was transparent: a terrific guitarist, a fine songwriter, a wonderer, a seeker and, overriding all, a celebrity who hated and feared celebrity.
George Harrison died at a friend's home in Los Angeles ten years ago, in late 2001, at age 58, losing his last battle with cancer. He was beloved, and had been for a long time. He had thrived in the aftermath of the band's breakup, becoming a recording artist on the level of his former mates McCartney and Lennon. He became as well the Happy Mystic, leading his legion of fans-of followers-toward a more meaningful way of living.
As would be expected from LIFE, it is all here in pictures-the Hamburg days, the Cavern Club, the craze that was Beatlemania, the fun movies, the psychedelic period, the solo years (replete with Harrison's reaction to Lennon's death, and the subsequent attack on him and his wife at his English estate). The photographers who knew George and the Beatles best-Astrid Kirchherr in Hamburg; Terence Spencer in the UK; Harry Benson in London, Paris and the U.S.; Bob Whitaker as the band's official photographer during the halcyon years; LIFE's John Loengard and Bill Eppridge throughout it all-are all here, as they were in our book on Lennon. This is an intimate look back, with many visual surprises. The narrative is largely written (by and the book is edited by) LIFE managing editor Robert Sullivan, who wrote Time magazine's cover story on George's passing 10 years ago.
One of the many marvels of the Beatles was that, although they all emerged from working-class Liverpool backgrounds, they were such distinct and fiercely individualistic personalities. None more so that George Harrison, who started well in the shadows and came to stand for something very large, and beautiful. This is his book.

早いもので没後10年、ジョージを偲びつつ読み始めました。もうFab4の写真は出尽くしていると思われ、そんなに目新しい写真がたくさんあるわけではないのでコアなファンには少し物足りなく感じるかもしれませんが、ジョージとスチュとのツーショットなど私にとってはちょっと珍しい写真も散見され、興味深く読みました。ハードカバーですがそんなに厚くなくて持ち重りもせず、ソファで寝転びながらペラペラ捲って眺めるのにちょうどいい感じ。ジョージ・マーティンとのネクタイのやり取りとかジョンの宝石ジャラジャラ発言などは原文でこんな表現になるのか、と英語のお勉強にもなりました。あとはクリスマスにマーティン・スコセッシ監督の「リヴィング・イン・ザ・マテリアル・ワールド」のブルーレイが届くのを待つばかりです。

Glad there's a tribute to George but...
2011/10/21
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
...The images contained in this hardcover Life tribute to George mainly focused on his time in the Beatles (which most Beatles fans have already seen, so there's nothing new to see). His life after the Beatles broke up comprised only 17 pages of a 111 page book and didn't even bother to cover his solo work, not even All Things Must Pass.
It gives a tiny mention of the Concert for Bangladesh and his Dark Horse tour but that's about all you get. This tribute didn't even scratch the surface as to depth of my beloved George's solo work or of his spirituality.
All in all I think that George deserves a better tribute. This hardcover tribute to George is great as a collector's item but don't look for anything that gets to the heart and soul of this wonderful man.
God bless you George for your music and making the world see that we need to have God present in our lives.

Very disappointing. Do not waste your money.

形式:ハードカバー
This book is unbalanced: only a few final pages sum up his post-Beatles years. What an unforgivable blunder!
It is also poorly edited: the author's comments are not particularly good, detract from the text, and hence were annoying.
This book smacks of exploitation of the anniversary of a good man's demise. Do not reward them with your hard-earned money.
I saw the Martin Scorsese documentary on HBO and it is superb! I recommend that, and the book by George's wife, Olivia.

Poor George

I bought this only because I gave my soft copies to my friends and when I went looking for a copy for myself they had been replaced at the stores. I love George, just finished reading it today, nice for the collection!
