Sting: Autobiografia Book

Go into the private life of one of the greatest musicians of all timesThis autobiography is one more chapter in the life of one of rock?s megastars. From the beginning pages, it is certain that this is a serious work, a painful, sincere and intense self-exploration. Sting relates details of his family life, his first years of school, the routes in which he accompanied his father to deliver milk at daybreak and even episodes that marked him for life, like finding his mother in an adulterous situation. Thus, with an admirable pace and very far from the brightness, glamour and the arrogance that many stars approach when writing about their own lives, Sting takes us through his life from childhood and adolescence and stops when he exits the group "The Police", at approximately 25 years of age. "I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything that's ever happened to me. Instead, I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments, certain people and relationships, and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was, and the man I became." -Sting Sting, whose real name is Gordon Matthew Sumner, was born in England in 1951. He was a Spanish professor and in his beginnings played in a jazz orchestra. He founded the famous group "The Police" with Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers with whom he made an extraordinary career. He has ventured into films in movies like Quadrophenia, Radio On and Dune. As a solo artist he has recorded The Dream of the Blue Turtles, Bring On the Night and Nothing Like to Sun.
