Doubleday Dancing The Dream

love

Michael Jackson was a genius, an incredible man of many talents, from artist, dancer, choreographer, composer, singer, writer, and poet, as he shows so commandingly in this beautiful hardback book. I have bought it (and read it several times) to donate it to libraries, schools and hospitals to spread the knowledge about this amazing man, who was also Dr.Jackson with an IQ of 160, apparently to rival that of Albert Einstein! He was awarded an honorary degree for his humanitarian efforts in 1988 from the Fisk University in New York. Not only was he good to look at, so were his mind's creations to read. This becomes instantly obvious from his deep spiritual philosophies in his forty-six essays and stories interspersed with over ninety such attractive photographs of him in action, and drawings. Many cleverly constructed phrases included are well known now which come from some of his song lyrics and poetry, like 'Heal the World', 'Planet Earth' and 'Will You Be There?' He wrote this in 1992 when he was only 34, yet bravely explored concepts like Trust, Innocence, Courage, Love and God. I particularly loved 'When Babies Smile', 'Ecstasy' and 'Quantum Leap' with his brilliant use of language and rhyme; also 'Magical Child', 'Once We Were There;, and 'Are You Listening?' which lift me up and take me to another place. One person who had a very high regard for him was the late famous Elizabeth Taylor who called him The King of Pop, Rock and Soul' in the Introduction.. The only criticisms I have are in the Introduction where a sentence is printed wrongly, split onto two lines, and a misprint in ''Magical Child' Part 2' where a line ends in the word 'play' when I think it should be 'ploy' to rhyme with 'destroy'. Otherwise the work is breathtakingly inspirational, a perfect possession for anyone, fan or not.

Cosa posso dire? Da fan di Michael posso solo dire che non so come non facevo ancora a non averlo. Il pacco è arrivato nei termini stabiliti ed è arrivato integro senza nessuna usura, anche perché il libro di suo è spesso e in un formato maggiore rispetto ai normali libri. Il libro in questione raccoglie pensieri e poesie di Michael ed è tutto in inglese. Un oggetto che non può assolutamente mancare ai fan del Re del Pop!

Magnifique livre, écrit par Michael lui-même. Des photos magnifiques, ses réflexions sur la vie et le monde, ses poésies, dessins, etc. Si vous ne devez acheter qu'un ouvrage sur Michael, sans aucune hésitation, choisissez celui là! Un must have pour les vrais fans et pour tous ceux qui veulent vraiment découvrir qui était Michael Jackson en prenant les infos à la source! Un artiste phénoménal, flamboyant, plein de paradoxes. Un être humain exceptionnel, de détermination, de travail, de gentillesse, générosité, soucis de l'autre, humilité malgré une ascension fulgurante et une renommée planétaire. Une perte immense et un héritage artistique qui a tout révolutionné. Une étoile qui a illuminé nos vies, un ange qui est parti. RIP MJ.

وصل بسرعة و بحالة جيدة ، ام انتي قراءته لكن يجب ان يكون عندي بما ان الملك مايكل كتبه بنفسه

Michael Jackson was very good with words, which is why the poems and other prose-like entries in this book are very melodious to read and are aesthetically pleasing. Not to mention that it isn't just a random bunch of words, the poems are insightful and meaningful. I will definitely recommend people to read this book, along with 'Moonwalk', if you wanna know about the man. The best way to get to know him is through his own words. There's hundreds of books written about him, but I don't feel like they are authentic sources of information. If you're gonna read about Michael Jackson, these two should be your first choice.
