À propos de cet audio

 The “definitive” (The New York Times) biography of film legend Bruce Lee—the martial arts icon who made kung fu a global phenomenon, shattered Hollywood stereotypes of Asian and Asian American actors, and became one of the most influential pop culture figures of the 20th century.

Forty-five years after Bruce Lee’s sudden death at just thirty-two, journalist and bestselling author Matthew Polly delivers the authoritative account of his extraordinary life and legacy. Meticulously researched over a decade and informed by more than one hundred interviews—including with Lee’s family, friends, colleagues, and the actress in whose bed he died—Bruce Lee is both sweeping and intimate.

Polly traces Lee’s evolution from Hong Kong child star to troubled teen, from charismatic martial arts teacher to trailblazing Asian American actor navigating a whitewashed Hollywood, to international superstar in Enter the Dragon, Fist of Fury, and The Big Boss. He explores Lee’s family dynamics, his struggle to break through in the US entertainment industry, his intense work ethic, and the enduring mystery surrounding his untimely death.

Dispelling myths and revealing the man behind the legend, Bruce Lee is a deeply humanizing, page-turning biography of a boundary-breaking actor, father, fighter, and icon whose cultural impact endures across generations and continents.

This is a very interesting and seemingly complete account of the life of Bruce Lee. The writing style is naturally engaging. I couldn't stop listening or talking about it. Not only is this one of the best Bruce Lee books I've ever read, it's one of the best books I've ever read. I appreciate that you learn a lot about the culture and history of the time in which Bruce and his ancestors live. It doesn't overtly glorify or degrade Lee - it feels like a balanced and honest account of his life. I absolutely LOVED this book!

I found this book very informative and found out a lot of things about Bruce I would have never known. It was easy to listen to and once I started I was hooked. I’m a blasthole driller and work away from home two weeks at a time and listened to this in my drill everyday for a little over a week, was a little sad when it came to the end I must say. Always has been and always will be my Idol!

Awesome!

A full biography for a life that was tragically cut short. Being a fan of Bruce Lee and his legacy, I have to admit I was a bit shocked from some of the revelations in this book, but it does not diminish Bruce Lee's heritage in my opinion.

A full life from a man full of life

Well written and impeccably researched . Definitely not a hagiography. Alot of interesting detail is included that rounds out the story of Lee's fascinating life.

Great book!
