Learn about the fantastic life of Leonard Cohen, the inspired singer-songwriter who shared songs about hope, love, loss, and all that makes us human. Little Leonard grew up in Montreal, Canada, and was a child who enjoyed the world around him. From roses with very long stems to birds singing on rusty wire, he observed beauty in things that others might overlook. His visits to the synagogue were also a source of wonder. Leonard listened in admiration to the songs and stories – influenced by their messages and timeless narratives.
When Leonard was nine years old, his father passed away. To cope with this loss, he began writing poems and soon realized how important it was for him to express his feelings through art. As an adult, his quest for poetic inspiration took him to London and Greece, until he finally settled in New York City. Inspired by the city's music scene, he decided to start writing songs. His melodies and powerful lyrics earned him a devoted fan base, and he soon became known to all.
Most famous for his beautiful ballad, Hallelujah, Leonard became one of the most iconic artists of all time through a music career that spanned nearly fifty years. This powerful book features elegant and unique illustrations and additional facts on the back page, including a biographical timeline with historical photographs and a detailed profile of the musician's life.
