Book The Total - David Bowie

"456 legendary pieces in 624 pages: Bowie, the total deciphers the work of one of the most significant artists in the history of pop, from his first single Liza Jane under the name of Davie Jones with The King Bees to 1964 to his testament album “(Blackstar)”, released on January 8, 2016, two days before his death.

Rainbow Man, Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke or Nathan Adler... If David Bowie always knew how to hide behind multiple characters and make himself the chameleon of British pop, the whole world knows his timeless hits. From Space Oddity to Changes, from Young Americans to “Heroes”, including Let's Dance and Absolute Beginners, everyone has at least one memory linked to one of his songs.

A master in the art of hiding references in accessible or inscrutable texts, the singer with a thousand faces has scattered winks throughout his discography, one of the most exceptional of his century. Bowie was always one step ahead of his contemporaries: his writing, his recording methods, the choice of his collaborators (Mick Ronson, Tony Visconti, Brian Eno, etc.), proved his musical genius."
