THE BOOK OF THE WEEK : CATCH A FIRE BY TIMOTHY WHITE

The book that I present today tells about the life of one of the greatest icons of the last century, the Jamaican musician (term reductive for him)  Bob Marley.
The peculiarity of this text is that rather than being a true biography is the story of the character ... mystical anecdotes, improbable stories  and everything revolved around this incredible figure.
It 's interesting for the fan but also for the one who wants to learn more about what this man has represented for millions of people ...though I must premise that the truth of certain facts I don't think is verifiable.

Don't you expect a text that analyzes the personality of man but rather the story of a myth that embodies a lifetime.
A reading, however, essential for anyone who wants to get close to reggae music and its legends.

THE BOOK OF THE WEEK - ON THE ROAD BY JACK KEROUAC

I would like to begin this weekly column with one of the titles that has most changed my reason for being in youth, I'm obviously talking about 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac.
This book, published in 1951, accounted for the beat generation and for all those in a desperate hunt for freedom a starting point, a milestone.
The plot, which I will not be here to tell you, is about the pursuit of themselves and a profound truth.
The protagonist hitchhiking in the America of the 40s and find the opportunity to grow, mature and have a confront with a reality that is different from what he had imagined with happiness, suffering and a bittersweet irony which comprises the background to the story.
I also reccomend to read the biography of the writer, a novel inside a novel, It can be enlightening.
A 'MUST HAVE' book.
