The celebrated life of Bruce Lee in his own words, illustrated with rare family photographs and stills from his movies and television appearancesIn the pages of Bruce Lee: The Celebrated Life of the Golden Dragon, we invite you to examine the real Bruce Lee, the man behind the image—the man who was so much more than an international film and martial arts superstar.

With a preface by Shannon Lee and a foreword by Linda Lee Cadwell, the text is drawn directly from Bruce Lee's own words, as recorded in his diaries and journals, as well as from interviews and the documentary Bruce Lee: In His Own WordsThis Bruce Lee book is part of Tuttle Publishing's Bruce Lee Library which also features:Bruce Lee's Striking ThoughtsBruce Lee's The Tao of Gung FuBruce Lee Artist of LifeBruce Lee: Letters of the DragonBruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human BodyBruce Lee Jeet Kune Do

What an intimate look at the man behind the image! The book is highly visual--the text is very limited--but the photos are like none that I've ever seen in other books on Lee. I'm talking about the baby pictures of Bruce and Brandon, photos of Lee from behind the scenes in his movies (a kind of spooky one of him and Sharon Tate from what must have been just before she was killed), and pictures of he and his wife just sitting on the couch at home. It makes you realize that there's a man and father behind the superhero that appears in his films. I loved it.
Many of the documentaries and biographies out there about Bruce Lee were unauthorized and created by shysters trying to cash in on his sudden death. This book, based on the recent video documentary "Bruce Lee: In His Own Words" is not only superior because it really is based on the master's own words, but the book and video are also endorsed by Bruce's widow and daughter. Here we get plenty of great photographs from Bruce's films, training, and family life. Meanwhile, Bruce's thoughts on acting, family, and his martial arts style (or, according to him, its dismissal of style) are true revelations for any fan of Bruce's classic movies. His thoughts on being a serious actor, rather than a martial arts "superstar," are quite a surprise; while his personal philosophy and attitudes toward martial arts mastery are both fascinatingly Eastern but surprisingly down-to-Earth and accessible for Western enthusiasts. So instead of fighting your way through all the frauds and fakes out there, get it from the master himself. [~doomsdayer520~]
The book was quite revealing to me and one will admire how hard he must have worked at all he did. I knew of Bruce Lee and have seen some of his movies.I wish the book would have included the story of Brandon Lee, son of the dragon.I am very happy to have bought this book because I appreciate the person Bruce Lee more after reading his life story.I would recommend this biography to those who like biographies.Thank you
This arrived today. Although I was going to save it for a birthday gift, I was excited to give it and instead of waiting a month immediately gave it to the not yet birthday boy. He. Loved. It!To be honest, it wasn't what I expected. It is better! There are a lot of personal photos of the LEe family and although it appeared to be mainly photos, upon further inspection I discovered there is also a tremendous amount of text and information squeezed in too. All and all he and I are very pleased. Thank you.
I have been a Bruce Lee and martial arts fanatic all my life. I am a Consummate collector of Bruce Lee memorabilia as well. This is one. Of the best books I have seen on The Little Dragon. Great photos with attention to detail s. If you love or admire Bruce and don't have this book in the collection add it you won't be disappointed. Cheers
amazing for the fan novice want to know a good in depth book about bruce lees life his thoughts family really compliments and extends his tremendous legacy for now and forever definite must read!!enoy!!
This book is a great addition to my collection of Bruce Lee books of pictures, filmography, philosopy and techniques. It has one of the best picture collections of all the books I've seen. The content isn't bad either. Talking about the life of the Little Dragon and some of the deep thoughts he had in his short life in this world. My fan-ography of the Jeet Kune Do Sifu is just starting, even if I have been a follower for years. This book is not a dissapointment. It will be a great addition to any collection.
