COLE PORTER(ISBN=9780679727927) 英文原版 epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

In his life and in his music, Cole Porter was "the top"--the

pinnacle of wit, sophistication, and success. His songs--"I Get a

Kick Out of You," "Anything Goes," and hundreds more--were instant

pop hits, and their musical and emotional depths have made them

lasting standards.

William McBrien

has captured the creator of these songs, whose life was not merely

one of wealth and privilege. A prodigal young man, Porter found his

emotional anchor in a long, loving, if sexless marriage, a

relationship he repeatedly risked with a string of affairs with

men. His last eighteen years were marked by physical agony but also

unstinting artistic achievement, including the great Hollywood

musicals High Society, Silk Stockings, and Kiss Me Kate (recently

and very successfully revived on Broadway). Here, at last is a life

that informs the great music and lyrics through illuminating

glimpses of the hidden, complicated, private man.
