James Dean - From Passion for Speed to Immortality
$30.00
Scope: The complete yet never told story of James Dean’s passion for professional racing, his cars and races, within the context of his life, the many celebrities he befriended and his stunning Hollywood success before his tragic death at 24. The book also details his fatal accident almost “frame-by-frame,” based on police reports, witness testimonies and the author’s own analysis.
James Dean was America’s first “Teenage idol” and almost single-handedly initiated the youth revolution that swept the country in the late 50’s and ‘60’s, turning first into the Beat Generation, then the Hippies, then the anti-establishment movement. All of this is artfully weaved into the book, in context with James Dean extraordinary talents – acting, music, sculpture, racing, etc. -- and revolutionary approach to everything.
