Informazioni su questo ebook
Elvis Presley’s lifespan is the tragic story of a star prisoner of his own success and the circumstances surrounding him. Teenagers dream about becoming rock stars and Elvis wonders, “What can rock stars dream about?” At 23, Elvis has achieved much more than what he has dreamed of in his wildest fantasies, just to end up trapped in his own image, feeling that his life no longer belongs to him. He is trapped inside the machinery he himself has created. This work of dramatic fiction recreates the most significant moments in the idol’s life through anecdotes and his songs, in order to show a chain of situations that lead an idol to pay the price of fame with his own life.
