Overview

From the first sparks of Ziggy Stardust to the twilight brilliance of Blackstar, David Bowie never stopped reinventing the very idea of an artist. In this vivid and sensitive portrait, Christian Soleil follows the thin white duke across five decades of creative tremors, tracing the path of a man who turned risk into a compass and curiosity into a lifelong companion. Moving through London, Berlin, New York and beyond, this book recounts not only an extraordinary career but the inner odyssey of a visionary who reshaped music, fashion, and identity itself. With the finesse of a storyteller and the precision of a cultural observer, Soleil illuminates the beauty, the fragility, and the fierce modernity of Bowie's journey. A celebration of metamorphosis, this work invites readers to rediscover Bowie as an eternal explorer - one who taught us that art, like life, advances by daring leaps into the unknown.
