Bruce Lee Życie

Bruce Lee – The Little Dragon, master of martial arts, cinema legend. The first credible biography of the star of Enter the Dragon. Based on over a hundred interviews, illustrated with unknown photographs and solving the mystery of his untimely death. In Hong Kong, he was a child movie star, leader of a school gang of hooligans, and a cha-cha champion. With a punch delivered from an inch away, he could send an adult man across the room. Bruce Lee had extraordinary skills and charisma useful in Hollywood—a world that he set out to conquer despite there being no roles for Asians. He trained with, befriended, and competed against the biggest stars of that era. Roman Polanski, Steve McQueen, and Chuck Norris learned how to throw a spinning kick from him. He became a bridge connecting show business with Eastern culture. Although his career was cut short by an unexpected death surrounded by conspiracy theories regarding its circumstances, his electrifying performance in Enter the Dragon made Bruce Lee immortal. This book shows how an unassuming boy who was often mistaken for a waiter at Hollywood parties—despite one punch from him being able to knock down almost anyone—forever changed the face of cinema. It describes the difficult journey of The Little Dragon who brought martial arts to the screen, won hearts around the world and became a legend. At the same time it allows us to see the imperfect yet inspiring man behind it all: Bruce Lee. Life is an exhilarating biography filled with new facts, unknown memories and incredible stories straight from the heart of Hollywood. Matthew Polly is the first to tell the true story of Bruce Lee''s life and death. The above description comes from the publisher.
