The revelatory and wildly bestselling memoir by legendary rock star Bruce Springsteen: "Glorious...a philosophically rich ramble through a rock 'n roll life...It's the lyric he was born to write" (USA TODAY, 4 out of 4 stars). Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life. The result is "an utterly unique, endlessly exhilarating, last-chance-power-drive of a memoir" (Rolling Stone) that offers the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as "The Big Bang" seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs ("Thunder Road," "Badlands," "Darkness on the Edge of Town," "The River" "Born in the U.S.A," "The Rising," and "The Ghost of Tom Joad," to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. "Both an entertaining account of Springsteen's marathon race to the top and a reminder that the one thing you can't run away from is yourself" (Entertainment Weekly), Born to Run is much more than a legendary rock star's memoir. This book is a "a virtuoso performance, the 508-page equivalent to one of Springsteen and the E Street Band's famous four-hour concerts: Nothing is left onstage, and diehard fans and first-timers alike depart for home sated and yet somehow already aching for more" (NPR).

“Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.” —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized.Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “The Rising,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.
Springsteen har i all hemmelighet skrevet på selvbiografien sin de siste syv årene. Han begynte på arbeidet i 2009, etter å ha opptrådt med The E Street Band i pausen under Super Bowl. I Born to Run beskriver Springsteen oppveksten i Freehold i New Jersey, blant "poesi, fare og mørke" som ga næring til fantasien hans. Levende forteller han om den ubendige trangen til å bli musiker - fra de første årene som bar-bandenes konge i Asbury Park til The E Street Bands tilblivelse og stigende suksess. Hudløst og ærlig forteller han også for første gang om de personlige kampene som har inspirert ham til å skrive sine beste låter, og avslører hvorfor "Born to Run" har langt dypere selvbiografiske lag enn vi tidligere har vært klar over. "Det er ganske rart å skulle skrive om seg selv," sier Springsteen i boken sin. "Men i bunnen av et slikt prosjekt ligger forfatterens løfte til leseren om å vise hvem han egentlig er, og dette løftet har jeg forsøkt å leve opp til i denne boken.""Dette er boken vi har ønsket oss," sier Jonathan Karp, forlegger i Simon & Schuster. "Leserne vil se sitt eget liv i Bruce Springsteens unike historie, akkurat slik vi kjenner oss igjen i sangene hans."
Det har skrivits många böcker om The Boss.Nu är den första här som Bruce Springsteen själv satt sitt namn på.Bruce Springsteens fascination för cowboys och vilda västern föddes tidigt. Som ung pojke brukade han ofta lyssna till historierna om Brave Cowboy Bill som hans mamma berättade för honom. Många år senare, på skivan Working on a Dream, introducerades karaktären Outlaw Pete i låten med samma namn. Nu återuppstår den unge banditen, som redan som blöjbarn hamnar i kläm med rättvisan, i bokform!I boken kombineras Bruce Springsteens osvikliga känsla för ord och rytm med Frank Carusos humoristiskt vassa teckningar. Resultatet blir ett tidlöst verk som på ett lika underhållande som eftertänksamt sätt tar upp frågan om ödets betydelse för läsare av alla åldrar.Outlaw Pete är i grunden berättelsen om en man som kämpar för att överleva och överlista de synder han själv begår. Han utmanar ödet genom att försöka undkomma det gift han sprider omkring sig. Men självklart kan man inte det. Vart vi än går, följer våra synder med oss. Bruce SpringsteenBerättelsen om den unge banditen Outlaw Pete har försetts med en träffsäker översättning till svenska av Anna Strandberg.
