Madonna: A Rebel Life - THE ULTIMATE GIFT FOR ANY MADONNA FAN

my friend was happy when she got the book

I originally bought the audiobook and then bought the book digitally on the Books app on my iPhone. I loved both so much that I wanted to buy the physical book. This book is amazing, the colored pictures and the index in the back. Just wow! Such a great book. Buy this book.

Mary Gabriel presents this biography from an academic perspective, particularly from the Cultural History discipline. So, she analyzes Madonna's life and work in correlation to the historical and cultural moments of the 60's, 70's, 80's and so on. She uses Madonna as an avatar, as Gabriel has stated, to study the history of Occident in the last 60 years. The author is obviously a Madonna fan but she maintains an objective point of view overall. She defends Madonna though when it comes to acting and movie roles she has played and she gives her credit as an artist. I loved that she divided the book in 6 parts, naming each one in honor of the place or country Madonna has lived in, suggesting that the cultural environment has always shaped her.I mean, I could go on and on, but I want to encorage anyone (wether you are a fan or not) to buy this book because you will learn and discover not only facts about Madonna, but about Occident history.

Interesantísimo sobre todo para amantes de esta gran artista. Recomiendo leer despacio para poder ir meditando y no perderse ni un detalle.
