Synopsis:
The personality of Elvis Presley deserves attention not only and not so much because he was and remains the most popular artist in world pop culture.
The representative of the lowest layers of society - "white rabble", he literally flew to the top of the stellar Olympus because of his completely new, unusual music, which at first shocked America, and then forced to worship him.
Combining in his work the lyricism of blues, the melodiousness of gospel, the tenderness and sentimentality of the country, he created his music - a frenetic, incendiary rock and roll, in which the whole musical culture of black and white America was embodied.
The author, a specialist in American culture, with the writer's emotionality and the historian's objectivity tells the story of a superstar, a white blues singer, receptive to the culture of the Negro South, a talent waved by the music industry;
the story of a son morally crippled by the excessive love of his mother, a man cornered by his status as a sex symbol, the greatest Hollywood star of his time, a naive actor who was ridden by a fraudster impresario, obsessed with his own passions.
From the absurdity and grandiosity of the explosive and tragic fate of a man who could not keep up with his own image, a portrait of America of that turning-point grows when she created her new image.
